The Rijksmuseum van Oudheden is the national archaeological museum of the Netherlands, located in Leiden. It grew out of the collection of Leiden University and still co-operates with its Faculty of Archaeology; the museum calls itself "the national centre for archaeology" and focuses on ancient Egypt, the ancient Near East, the classical world of Greece and Rome and the early Netherlands. The current collection of the museum is divided in the following categories: Ancient Egypt Ancient Near East Etruscan civilization Ancient Greece Ancient Rome Prehistoric Netherlands Roman Netherlands Medieval NetherlandsIn the central hall of the museum stands an original Egyptian temple, the Temple of Taffeh, taken apart in Egypt and reconstructed in the museum; the collection of the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden began with an inheritance in 1743. After the death of Gerard van Papenbroek, his collection was bequeathed to Leiden University; the bequest comprised about 150 antiquities and was published in 1746 by a professor of the university.

It was put on public display but poorly cared for until half a century when it would get an official curator. This curator was classicist the world's first archaeology professor. Along with his duties as a professor at the university came the care of the archaeological cabinet consisting of the Papenbroek inheritance. Reuvens added other collections from both within and outside Leiden to the university's antiquities. Antiquities from the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam were transferred to Leiden with government support in 1825; some pieces from the Thoms Collection were among the favorites of the director of the Amsterdam museum. It was agreed; these became part of the Leiden collection in 1844. In 1826, a collection of prehistorical materials arrived from the Museum of Natural History; the growth of the National Museum of Antiquities would prove to be depended much more upon foreign investments. Despite the gathering of antiquities from various Dutch organizations, the important additions to the museum would come from buying personal collections.

Among the first of these was the first Rottiers Collection. It belonged to a retired Flemish colonel. In 1820, this collection was offered to the government of the Low Countries and Reuvens was sent to determine its value and recommend on whether to buy or not. Reuvens was enthusiastic about the collection because it contained original Greek sculpture and Greek pottery, categories which lacked in the Leiden collection until then. Cautioning the ministry not to buy at any price, the Rottiers collection was sold for the sum of 12,000 guilders and placed in the National Museum of Antiquities. In 1822, Rottiers sold a second collection, of smaller importance, to the government; the best piece in this collection would turn out to be a modern cast of a marble head, a forgery. With both the first and the second Rottiers collections, the origins would remain shady. In both cases it was hinted or outright claimed that Rottiers and his son had dug up at least part of the antiquities themselves. However, in both cases it would turn out that all of the collection was bought.

Rottiers repeatedly admitted to selling forgeries and misleading buyers, but told Reuvens that he would never do so to him and that his earlier mistakes were youthful folly. From 1824 to 1826, Rottiers made a journey through the Mediterranean, paid for by the ministry; this journey was Rottiers' own idea, the purpose of it was to buy antiquities. Reuvens, not enthusiastic about this project, was asked to provide Rottiers with instructions. During these travels Rottiers complained a lot, for a while failed to produce any real results; the ministry had to go as far as send him an official warning to stop using government funds for anything other than buying antiquities. Plans of Rottiers' to start his own excavations were never discussed with Reuvens, Rottiers excavated on Melos. After this excavation Rottiers bought antiquities. During a lengthy stay on Rhodes, he studied and described the medieval architecture, large parts of which would be destroyed, making the drawings commissioned by Rottiers invaluable.

In March and September 1826, the museum received the acquired antiquities. Reuvens wrote a negative report. Though he was pleased with some of the pieces, most were hardly special and Rottiers had not provided substantial background information. Rottiers was not the only agent working for the Dutch government procuring antiquities however. While Rottiers was working in the eastern Mediterranean, Jean Emile Humbert was collecting and excavating in Tunisia. After selling his personal collection to the government, Humbert was asked to return to Tunisia on an archaeological expedition. Raised to the Order of the Netherlands Lion, with instructions from Reuvens and with a state-funded budget Humbert would collect and excavate antiquities in Tunisia from 1822 to 1824. Most important about this first expedition by Humbert was the acquisition of eight statues, which are still on display as centerpieces in the museum. A second expedition by Humbert never reached Tunisia because Humbert preferred staying in Italy.

Despite this blatant disregard of the agreements, the expedition did produce some considerable results. A collection of Etruscan artifacts, known as the Museo Corazzi, was bought for over 30.000 guilders but pleased Reuvens because Etruscan antiquities were unknown outside Italy at the time. By far the most important deal of the expedition was the acquisition of the very

Batman and the Monster Men is an American comic book limited series written and drawn by Matt Wagner with colors by Dave Stewart, published by DC Comics in 2006 and starring the superhero Batman. It, along with its sequel Batman and the Mad Monk, are set in between the events of Batman: Year One and Batman: The Man Who Laughs, it is the first part of Matt Wagner's two-part Dark Moon Rising series, which are expanded and modernized versions of early Batman stories. Batman and the Monster Men is developed from an early Hugo Strange story from Batman #1. In Wagner's version, this is Batman's first encounter with Strange; the story depicts a young, optimistic Batman shortly after the events of Batman: Year One. Julie Madison Bruce Wayne's love interest in early comics, is reintroduced in this series. Madison had not been seen as a regular supporting cast member since 1941, in Detective Comics #49. Batman and the Monster Men gives a retroactive role to Sal Maroni, a character tied to the character Two-Face, as a crime boss funding Hugo Strange's experiments on Arkham Asylum patients.

This story is intended to depict the first time Hugo Strange is involved in creating violent giants out of human patients. This story and its sequel and the Mad Monk take place in between Batman: Year One and Batman: The Man Who Laughs. Jim Gordon has been promoted to Captain and Edward Grogan has just replaced the corrupt, mob-affiliated Gillian "Gil" Loeb as Police Commissioner. One of Batman's early encounters with a villain known as "the Red Hood" occurs some time shortly before this story begins, indicated by the fact that a newspaper headline depicted on the opening page reads: "Red Hood Gone? Eyewitnesses claim mystery thief falls to doom after Ace Chemical heist attempt foiled by run-in with vigilante Bat-Man"; the incident at Ace Chemical, depicted as flashbacks in Batman: The Killing Joke, transformed the Red Hood into the Joker, who makes his first appearance in The Man Who Laughs. Instead of being an actress as in her Golden Age incarnation, Julie is a freshly graduated law student.

Jim Gordon is shown to still be married to his first wife, Barbara Kean-Gordon, who leaves him shortly after the events of Batman: The Long Halloween and returns to him in Batman: Dark Victory
