Ace Chemical

Ace Chemicals, or Ace Chemical, is a fictional business organization appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly in association with stories featuring the superhero Batman.

It was at the Ace Chemicals plant in Gotham City where Joker (when he was Red Hood) fell into a vat of chemicals, creating his trademark look of green hair, chalk-white skin, and red lips.



Ace Chemicals is based in Gotham City. The plant is connected to Kane Chemicals, a company owned by the parents of Martha Wayne, which was then sold to Apex Chemicals, which then, in turn, became Ace Chemicals.

The plant is introduced in Detective Comics #168 (Feb. 1951) ("Mystery of the Red Hood") when, on the night of a heist of Ace Chemicals planned by the Red Hood gang, Batman learns of the gang's plan and intercepts them at the chemical plant. Batman confronts the gang's leader, the Red Hood, who dives into a vat of chemicals to escape Batman after the heist fails.

The Red Hood survives, but exposure to the chemicals leaves him with green hair, chalk-white skin, and red lips. The Red Hood's disfigurement causes him to suffer a fateful psychotic break and he becomes the Joker. Over the years, the Joker has revisited Ace Chemicals several times, and on occasion has even used it as a temporary hideout.

Revisions to the incident have been introduced over subsequent decades. In "Mystery of the Red Hood" and The Killing Joke #1 (Mar. 1988), the Red Hood intentionally dives into the tank while trying to escape Batman; other depictions, such as the film Batman (1989), have Batman accidentally causing the Red Hood to fall into the vat.

And I built it in Minecraft. Just wait until you see it.

Project Details: It was inspired by images I found online of the Titans Tower from the cartoon series.

* Exterior Design (90% Complete): It is still missing some more of what I feel could make it look a little bit more grandiose. Basically I am adding more factory and pipes. Etc. But otherwise, this could be considered done.

Internal Design (Work in Progress 100% Complete): This build has 2 floors. Including but not limited to...

(Ground Up)

• • The Main Chemical Lab / Factory - Much and more of what you would expect the Ace Chemical Lab to look like inside and out.

• • The Rafters - You know that one location Batman always seems to wanna fight his foes. That place.

* Color Palette (Vanilla Textures): Brick, Iron Block, Stained Glass Block, as well as several other block variations for design and ingenuity. Also maybe some Concretes...not sure yet. Yeah, you know what...Concretes too.
