Chimera Institute

The Chimera Institute (pronounced "shim-err-uh"), directed by Dr. Able Cuvier, was the source of Gotham City's splicing fad. Early in the fad's life, the building was picketed by angry parents and other protesters.While splicing's future was still up in the air, Cuvier had a violent run-in with Batman, and was forced to go into hiding in Carmin's Taxidermy Studio, abandoning the premises.
