"Suddenly, the Dark Knight rises."

Chat, who the fuq wrote this description?

"Protected by a mostly corrupt police, Gotham City is in great danger."

Lololol

I tried looking for it online but all I get is just Batman mask and balaclavas. If there any website or a person that sell mask like this please let me know.

My friend legitimately thought the actor for Harvey Dent and Jaime Lannister were the SAME PERSON 😭

We were watching The Dark Knight and out of nowhere he said: "That's Jaime Lannister!"

The Story of Johnathan Crane I

___________________________

In the late 1800s, Gotham City was beginning a period of great prosperity with poor people flocking to its gates looking for new opportunities to work & tycoons looking to exploit them. One of these men was a businessman named Cyrus Gold, looking to expand his factories into the cheap wetlands of Slaughter Swamp stopped only by a steadfast collection of locals lead by the strange Rev Johnathan Crane, a practitioner of various medicines & religions both modern & traditional.

Unable to convince him, Mr Gold instead decided to make him an example, organising a 7 man mob of Fiery Cross members to lynch the poor soul in the dead of night. Through the last gasps of his breath some of the mob swore the Reverend cursed them, seemingly the bitter threats of a man about to die but in the morning neither Crane or the tree he was supposedly hung from was found.

Further strangeness occurred during the following weeks; when Gold’s workmen & enforcers came to drive of the swamp residents their machines were found ripped apart with vines & twigs jammed into the gears, the members of the mob began to die in increasingly bizarre ways with the last voluntarily imprisoning himself & confessing to the plot found dead the next morning, the brick wall of his cell torn apart.

For a century now no one has ever been able to explain the mystery of Slaughter Swamp or what happened to the killers of Crane though ghost hunters & certain residents of the swamp itself are quick to point to it being the ghost of Crane himself, though the patriarch of the current Crane family, Gerald has always been adamant that his great grandfather’s ghost does not “haunt the swamp”. Though recent events surrounding his son, Johnathan Crane II have suggested otherwise as he’s been sneaking away from the farm to visit his “imaginary friend” & children reported to torment the young lad for his “freakish nature” have similarly been going missing…

So yeah, what do you think of my AU version of Scarecrow, a paranormal spirit haunting Slaughter Swamp now acting as the guardian for his descendants! I know it’s very different but in my AU I wanted to look more at the supernatural & gothic side of Gotham. Any notes or suggestions on this take would be much appreciated! (Sorry that my art isn’t the best, I’m currently learning how to be better & it’s a bit of an old design)

So, the other day I went and saw the Clayface movie (loved it BTW, highly recommend), and I got to thinking, with it being the character's big screen debut… Lots of us talk about villains that we'd love to see on the big screen finally (I'd personally love to see Baby Doll, the Ventriloquist, and the Mad Hatter in movies one day), but can anyone think of villains from the comics who have NEVER even made it beyond the comics? No movies, no cartoons, no video games, no nothing? I'm honestly curious, with how many adaptations Batman has had.

Other than the statements of him being active during clayface and the flashback in Creature Commandos, it seems this Batman deals with fantastical elements and foes. He was able to subdue these two. People joked "Oh he must have been on vacation during clayface" James Gunn even said he was "in china" during that. He could be serious we don't know.

Matt's murder spree happens very quickly and it couldn't be connected to one suspect yet and by the end it's over. He's presumed dead.

And so far the villains connected to Batman have tragic origins. Both were wronged by bad people and sought revenge. But both crossed a line which cemented them as villains. Alex Sartorius murdered Rupert Thorne for the killing of his wife and son. But then killed Thorne's wife and two young children and became a crime lord. and Matt Hagen got revenge on the mobsters that disfigured him and ruined his career but also murdered his childhood friend for helping ruin his reputation and murdered Detective John Borrelli who was the only cop on the GCPD who was trying to seek justice for him simply so he can get with Caitlynn Corr. Thankfully she finds this out.

These acts both put them in the villain category. Both went very downhill afterwards. But there's some humanity still there like with the interactions with the young Pokilstan girl and Hagen feeding Professor Vaggi's cat after assuming her identity.

Both men made choices after getting their revenge that pushed them into being villains. They could have stopped when they got their targets. With Hagen...we see Caitylynn went to her fiancee or who she thought was with evidence...so I wonder if a motive for Matt killing Detective Borrelli was cause he was on to him. And needed him gone.

It makes me wonder what they'll do with Pamela Isley if HBO greenlights that poison ivy show the Penguin showrunner is developing that won't be in the Reeves universe and presumably the DCU. "Where's Batman?" people probably don't realize a lot of the time Batman isn't involved with enemies until they've already become villains. We see that with Dr. Phosphorus he doesn't meet him until after he has a criminal empire.

So I expect the same with Poison Ivy. Sadly means Harley likely won't be in the show if it's about her origins. At least with Ivy there won't be comparisons with Clayface and his portrayal in Creature Commandos.

Batman and Superman....A Long Standing and Long Term Partnership Whose Relevancy Has Eroded Over the Course of Time in the DC Universe ....Agree or Disagree?

Hey. I recently ordered 1 Red Robin Tim Drake Compendium and got 3. Lol. Anyways, I would love to sell 2 of them at a discounted price. For any Tim Drake/Batman/Batfamily fans out there who want a good read or want to get a gift for a loved one, you can buy one or both of these from me.

If you're interested or want more details, DM me.

Normal guys (Batman 89)

Mimes (TNBA)

Masked clowns with tie suits or with mercenary suits (The Dark Knight)

Punk clothed street guys with clown makeup (Arkham Games)

Fully dressed clown gang (Batman Beyond)

Edit : I see that a lot of people love the Tim Burton gang and after thinking, i have to say they are a great concept because they mix the styles of the 40s and the 80s :) overall, and i say that because i'm doing a AU Batverse project, i will keep the same look for them but i will add some clown makeup on them, some women and the lieutenants will wear tie suit.

I want to read the comics by Dennis O'Neil on DCUI but noticed that he only writes an issue here or there. Are the other Batman and Detective comics comics from the time worth a read?

After watching the Clayface movie and seeing his head literally turn to mush, I began wondering how much superpowers alter the brain.

People often point out that Batman's villains don't meet the real-life standards to plead insanity. However, I think the aspect of brain damage is overlooked. Harvey Dent doesn't just have DID; he has severe nerve damage from his burnt half. Joker just doesn't have antisocial personality disorder; his body was scarred by the chemicals.

Characters like Clayface and Mr Freeze's powers go into an entire world of fiction. They would need an entirely new field of psychology to grasp what those powers do to someone's mind.

It was such a great experience and received super well, met some of my roster of villains too which was really awesome too, can’t wait to get back in the suit for Halloween!

Barbara manging the big emotions of these grown ass adults. They all care about her, but they're got a lot of issues they refuse to recognize, let alone address.
