The Monarch Playing Card Company was the location where the Red Hood, trying to elude capture by the Batman after being involved in an attempt to steal money from the company, leapt off a catwalk and into a waste catch basin of chemicals. As a result, he was turned into the green-haired, white-skinned horror known as the Joker.
In-Game History[]
Now an abandoned factory, the Riddler has turned the building's lower floors into his own secret hideout; rigging the upper floors with tricks and puzzles to deter visitors.
Having been leaving clues for Batman to find; claiming that he knows who was behind Joker's latest chemical formula. Learning that Joker had hired Deathstroke to kill Riddler before he revealed his secret, Batman sends a new hero to the hideout to get to Riddler before Deathstroke does.
After Riddler leaves Intergang takes over this for a trap for Batwoman this is presumably case due to the layout as well as a left behind Riddler wanted poster.
In the tier 5 challenge Iconic Anomaly: The Hunt the player has to infiltrate the Cassamento Warehouse which is also located in where Riddler later put his hideout.

Trivia[]
- If you didn't clear out the mobs before, 4 J1N1s and a Madcap will follow you into the final room with the Riddler. While they only target you, after a long time their splash damage can KO Echo, Query, and the Riddler without you talking to him. When the last happens it prompts a "You failed to protect the Riddler" message same as failing normally during the Deathstroke boss fight, and all three would respawn. Also, despite both being hostile to hero players, Deathstroke and the Joker mobs can damage each other.
