My Alternate Design Of John Doe: The Jester Of Genocide

My redesign of Barbara Ann Minerva: The Cheetah

Tyrian Callows Redesign

Although I do like Tyrian’s outfit, I don’t love it. It’s a bit too overly compliated with the excess straps and belts, and the bandages seem a tad unnecessary. It’s also odd that Tyrian’s name is a shade of purple, and the only purple we ever on him is his eyes and semblance. I decided to add more purple to Tyrian’s costume, giving him a tailed sleeveless jacket, purple shadowing around his eyes, as well as more scars around his chest and face. In my version, Tyrian got a nasty scar on the right side of his face during a battle with the Atlas Military, and now looks like he has a permanent smirk on his face. I also got rid of the bandages on his arms, as Tyrian doesn’t seem like the kind of person who’d cover up his scars. Was this a good idea, or is this new design a bit too much?

The New Joker

As a child, Marquis Jet's school bus was held hostage by The Joker, and he wound up taking a joy-buzzer to the head. Due to this severe head trauma, Marquis would end up developing violent and sociopathic tendencies. Sometime later, his sister would become the new Batwoman, and he would use his new skills to advance in the business world, and was soon the executive vice president of his mother's company. When his family was kidnapped by an escaped Professor Pyg, he escaped his bonds and saved his mother by stabbing Pyg to death. This singular event finally pushed Marquis over the edge, as later that night when his mother returned home, she found him with a bloody smile smeared across his face.  His mother then sent him to cryo-therapy, but he would end up escaping his cell, killed multiple people, and violently took over Wayne Enterprises as it's new CEO. Tired of the doom and gloom of Gotham, Marquis gives a speech, proclaiming that all he wants is to put an smile on everyone's faces.

Two Face: I Believe In Harvey Dent - Cast

After a huge gang war between Two-Face and Black Mask, the latter resorts to a vile move to gain power over Harvey Dent. Black Mask kidnaps Harvey’s ex-wife Gilda Dent, threatening to kill her unless Harvey gives over his criminal empire. Desperate and out of options, Harvey/Two-Face contacts Batman and asks him to help them rescue Gilda from Black Mask. Along their perilous adventure, Black Mask sicks multiple mercenaries on them, from KGBeast to Deadshot, even the Tally Man. The Tally Man plays a very large part in the story, acting as Black Mask’s right-hand man. He wants revenge on Two-Face, as Harvey tried to kill him during No Man’s land. Will Two-Face and Batman stop Black Mask and save Gilda, or is Gilda doomed?

Villains: Prankster (Jonathan Lincoln)

Jonathan was born into a wealthy family that owned a very successful toy company. Despite his parents loving children, they were rarely ever around to give their son any attention. Starved for attention, Jonathan started to pull large scale pranks at his school. He didn’t do stupid whoopee cushions, though. He instead took all of the books in the library and hung them from the ceiling, and put dissected frogs into the gelatin salad at the parent-teacher banquet. During his time as the school clown, Jonathan slowly began to grow mentally unstable, as he constantly tried to get bigger and better with his “performance art”. When the day came for the school’s science fair, Jonathan snuck into the school the night before and tampered with the student’s inventions. Everything went according to plan, until it came to the unlimited energy device created by the school’s prodigy student. He didn’t completely understand what he was tampering with, and he accidentally caused it to explode when it was being demonstrated, killing 20 people and setting fire to the auditorium. He was then sent to a mental institution and was promptly disowned by his parents. While in the institution, Jonathan fell into a catatonic state because he was so bored. During a blackout two years later, Jonathan broke out of the asylum thanks to the power outage, and the first thing he did was return home and burn his family’s house down while leaving his parents tied up in the basement. He then went to their toy factory and stole a massive amount of their toys, reverse-engineering them into deadly weapons. Having been inspired by seeing superheroes and supervillains in the outside world, he decided to become a member of this new wave of villains. Directly after the blackout crisis was solved, Prankster made himself known to the citizens of Harking City by embarking on a spree of comedic crime. He robbed a bank and replaced all of the money with Monopoly money, hurled a 50 ft gumball at a candy factory, and switched around all of the street signs. Having shown off his cunning nature, he was approached by Illusionist and asked to join his supervillain team W.A.R, which he gladly accepted.

ANARKY (Beware The Batman)

This is my own redraw of Anarky from the "Beware The Batman" cartoon. While I know everyone has their own opinions on the show (or don't know it exists), I will admit that it has always been one of my favorite Batman shows. One of the most polarizing things about the show is its inclusion of obscure Batman villains like Professor Pyg & Magpie and using them as placeholders for the primary Batman villains. And though I certainly am one to be critical of vast departures in comic-to-screen adaptations, I am willing to forgive certain decisions if they make sense or at least have good reasoning. Case in point: The show's depiction of Anarky.

I will admit that this is kind of a terrible Anarky. He's not a politically conscious teenage anti-hero/anti-villain who masquerades as an adult to further his political rebellion and has an on/off relationship with the Bat Family. Instead, he's basically the show's answer to The Joker. And while I normally wouldn't be so forgiving of such a change to a character that I like and respect, I am willing to accept it if what they make is at least good. And while this isn't a good Anarky, IT IS A GREAT VILLAIN. One thing I like so much about this Anarky is that they basically made him the "Anti-Batman". He dresses in a nearly accurate costume to Batman's, save for it having a hood, an "A" as its symbol, and being entirely white. He even has similar gadgets, though made to kill people as opposed to Batman's non-lethal gadgets. He's also a master combatant who can hold his own against Batman (He was basically the proto Nemesis). I also like how they use him as a Joker placeholder while still making him his own character. Instead of being a maniacal mass-murdering cartoon villain dressed in a purple tuxedo, he's a much more reserved and calculated mastermind who often manipulates others into unknowingly doing his bidding; like when he tricked Batman and Lady Shiva into nearly unleashing an epidemic or when he teamed up with Harvey Dent to take down Batman, which led to the latter getting scarred and becoming Two-Face. He's also not clown-themed in any way, instead going for more of a Chess theme with him as the "White King" and Batman as the "Black King". I also really like his portrayal by Wallace Langham. Instead of being a very off-the-wall over-the-top hammy performance, he's soft-spoken and mellow, but with hints of malice behind his voice. He kind of sounds like Neil Patrick Harris if he had Schizophrenia. Anarky barely ever loses his cool and hardly ever raises his voice, which adds to his menace.

That's all I have to say really. What are your opinions of "Beware The Batman" or this version of Anarky?

"I spend a lot of time thinking. Asking myself questions. Lately I've been thinking about innocence. I have a certain past. One of harm and criminal misdeeds. I've been trying to make sense of what I've done, and who I am. Am I not more than my suit? My moniker? My deeds? What's in a name, Gotham? Some of us lead double lives. Some of us are true. But I'm realizing, it's about truth. Who we think we are, and what happens when the lie of that is revealed. My viewers, if life is but a stage, are the roles assigned? When is a murderer not a murderer? When is a hero not a hero?"
