Gotham Rogues - Blog Posts

Gotham minimum wage is like 5x the national average to discourage people from getting PhDs

Welcome to Burlesque

I can't get the thought of Music Miester singing Cher: Welcome To Burlesque and having the Gotham rogues doing the dance, just like the movie.

God help me.

@tardigradetheking I got you 😌

In Impulse, Issue #50 “First Fools”, Bart helps Batman on a Joker hostage case while trying to prank Robin on his first ever April Fools day.

Impulse, Issue #48 “when is a Riddle not a riddle”, Bart Allen has to save his mentor Max after being kidnapped by the riddler, who hid bombs around the city revealed only with riddles— too bad Riddler didn’t know Bart doesn’t follow the rules.

Teen Titans, #2 (2003), Bart got shot by A Jericho possessed Deathstroke, facing him off after multiple random attacks and when he first dawns the title “kid Flash”

Deathstroke #40, Impulse works with Deathstroke and multiple other heroes and anti heroes to defeat a common enemy.

In the Series Titans of Tomorrow, Bart Allen and Rose Wilson are in a steady relationship, that I still love to this day.

In Red Robin #12, Tim teams up with Bart and asks him to save Selina Kyle, The Catwoman, from League of Assassin soldiers that snuck into her house while she was asleep.

And this one isn’t with a Gotham Rogue, but it’s funny and relevant. In Young Justice #10 (1998), Bart hits his head so hard that for almost the entire comic, he believes he’s Batman!

Batman has a secret interrogation method specifically for Joker and Riddler and it’s called “Bart”. It’s super effective.

my hair isn't 4c but I still have ~black girl curls~

remember those like Velcro balls?? from like 2010?? I got some of those in my hair when I was little. awful.

Don't you hate it when your childhood best friend who was arrested for larceny and murder, yet claims that he's "No longer mentally ill" despite his insatiable need to cosplay a minor character from a children's book written 160 years ago, kidnaps you for an elaborate larp experience, which may or may not include the violent execution of your city's vigilante?

...on that note, anyone wanna hear the Mad Hatter lore from my batman au??

? Cane

Riddler who uses a question mark cane not for aesthetic but because of an old injury (though that won’t stop Ed from making it aesthetic anyway).

Ed has a lot of different canes and he sometimes wonders if he ought to pare down his collection. Oswald with his million umbrellas says not to.

“It’s perfectly normal to collect various styles and weaponized varieties of functional style elements, Edward.”

“Not when it’s that many, Ozzy.”

Ed has a slight limp and can’t run well or for long distances. This is part of the reason for his complicated traps and tendency to be at a separate location, as his getaways need a little time.

He doesn’t let his leg stop him from doing crime, or anything he wants, really, and will absolutely use his cane to wallop Batman or anyone else who says different or tries to stop him. Or shoot them, if it’s a gun cane, slice them if it’s a sword cane…

Gun cane, sword cane, taser cane, grapple cane, sleeping gas cane… Ed is beginning to really think he should do something about his collection at some point.

A Clown met a Doctor at the asylum one day, and asked if she wanted to be free. The Doctor replied that it was the Clown who was the prisoner, but alas, she was already intrigued. The Doctor spoke with the Clown again, and again, as he told her of the freedom of the mind, from limits, from morals, from sanity. Carefully the Clown led the Doctor closer and closer to the edge. He told her he loved her, but he laughed as he said it. Down, down, down… The Doctor fell and was reborn, a Jester after his image.

Riddler is such an OCDiva.

Anyone got any rogues hc for the Gotham by Gaslight universe specifically?

I desperately need to read others view on GBG Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow or even anyone else. I really love that it takes place in the Victorian era and I wanna see how the time-period could affect each others backstories!!

I’m gonna be honest I only saw the movie and not the comics (and only a pic of some of the rogues in there) so I’m unsure what the differences may be and how drastic they are. But anyway is free to tell me what they think!

Reblog for a bigger sample size pls!!

When it comes to mission reports, Damian is the epitome of not showing your work.

Bruce: Damian, what did you do with the Riddler?

Damian: I apprehended him.

Bruce: When, where, and how?

Damian: Yesterday. Crime Alley. Stakeout.

Bruce: Why isn't any of this written down? You have to document it for future case references. You just wrote, "Done."

Damian: Because I'm done.

Bruce: But you're supposed to tell us the steps you took.

Damian: Step one: I did it.

So, to continue this:

■Gotham■

The city has basically turned into a free for all arena between:

Old mafia families (To capture the Joker for their leaders)

Red Hood

The batfam-1 (To capture the Joker for Jason)

Batman (He, himself is not quite sure what he is trying to do)

A couple of rogues (Ivy, Harley, Mr.Freze, etc.)

Jonh Constantine (This little shit wants to piss hell [and the rest of the supernatural] off even more by getting away)

Deadshot (An easy way out, might even get to hang out with his doughter)

The Church (It's a CRUSADE!)

And finally Jack and Maddie Fenton, who feel like they have to atone for what the have done to their sweet little boy.

Oh, and Jazz is also there to make sure that the Joker stays dead after everyone is done with him.

So the city is in an Almost total state of chaos, vigilanties and mercenaries prowling and jumping between rooftops, mafia families and goons on every street and alleyway. A church mob (complet with crosses, torches and pitchforks on every main road) A trashcan magician popping in and out at random throughout the city. A tall, amazonian like woman with red hair leaning on walls and sings, sighing walking away and then doing it again carring a wicked looking techno pistol. And the Fenton couple in their tank like abomination tearing trough the streets.

(Everybody is making sure not to harm innocents otherwise what's the point of the pardon. Plus god is watching.)

All this while the Joker cowers in fear in a swear deep beneath Gotham, terrorized by the shades of his past victims.

Ok, so Danny rules all afterlifes, and being the clown hating little shit he is goes:

◇Sky goes green over Gotham◇

"Listen and hear this Royall decree!"

"I, Phantom, God-King of all afterlifes hearby say"

"That as long as your crimes do not exceed his, and you are willing to repent,"

"So long as you kill the Joker, all your sins will be absolved and you will be granted entry into your Heaven of choice!"

Jason-*Sheds a tear* Fuck yeah! *Fist bump*

Harley-*Evil grin*

Ivy-*Evil grin... but in green*

The rest of the bafamily-"Does this mean-"

Batman-"No"

The rest of the bafamily-"But God said so!"

John 'Fuck my life' Constantine-"I need a drink.... Who emptied all the pubs!?" (By bad luck he just happened to be in Gotham)

The rest of Gotham-*Party! Umptz! Umptz!* (Also emptied all the pubs)

The Joker-"Uh oh..."

Danny 'Fuck that clown in particular' Phantom-*Literally splits his head in two like a nightmare cheshire cat grinning*

Look all I want from the DC streaming service is a Gotham Academy animated series

I would pay a lot of money for a comic about the rouges like how do they get along , what happens when they’re out of arkham, stuff that doesn’t necessarily focus on them as villains just them as characters (everyone but the joker he can choke)

Day 5: Headcanon

Finally, day 5 of the Jervis Tetch appreciation week! No time wastin’, lets go:

My headcanons for this character mostly build up on his Batman the Animated Series originating backstory. Its honestly the best for his character, though I believe it can minorly improved.

Backstory:

I see him starting out as a gentle minded spirit with a definite interest in the human mind and an, at first, unrecognized desire to control, coming from his not very demanding, insertive nature. Being a socially awkward introvert, he’s very lonely, but when the woman he has a crush on broke up with her boyfriend, he actually tried to impress her, not with his mind controlling devices however. As to be a little braver in his approach, he took on a persona from the many books he reads that he emphasizes with most, the Mad Hatter. It goes decent(I bet he can be adorkable in a way), but she still ends up getting back together with her boyfriend. Jervis by that point started to lose himself more and more into his own fantasy, something he already liked to do to escape his lonely existence through literature. Which is when the darker side of his personality he had kept dormant for so long takes over. With Jervis Tetch stuck only half aware in his own imagination, he ends up putting his earliest functional mind control device on his beloved, managing to avoid suspicion for a long time due to his not very outgoing nature. Wether his beloved Alice survived the encounter is uncertain, but its likely that if she survived, the device Jervis had used on her left her brain short circuited and her in a vegative state.

His villainous behavior and other details:

I overall like to think the Mad Hatter isn’t a villain like the Joker is, more easily able to disappear in crowds, despite distinctive facial features, and generally having not that many big schemes including the harm of several people. He prefers to stay undetected and further improve his devices, so he wont have to constantly tell his victims what to do or be permanently brain damaged, as for changing the size, control range and battery life of his devices. He’s the scariest when thinking of him constantly changing estate and the general lack of certainty of who and who isn’t under his control at any time. Any time, once he becomes the Mad Hatter, anyone in Gotham could suddenly start crying, happy to finally be free to act on their own again or be given a permanent mental illness, like say Alien Hand Syndrome, just because they were once under the Hatters control. And while his devices can influence ones senses and motor functions, they don’t change reality like as seen in the Arkham games(Like seriously, that stuff looks great and all, but how does it work within reality?).

Jervis himself:

As already mentioned, Jervis is stuck only half aware of reality. If he was to be snapped back to reality, he would have a breakdown most likely. He’s also pretty unstable within his imagination, because of the many thoughts criss crossing through his mind at any time. This can cause mood swings, some of which can get violent. Otherwise, he remains on the more polite and oblivious side of character. He also tends to make literature references, more than just Alice in Wonderland(’cause seriously, this guy could use some variety). I imagine he calls anyone of the other Rogues by some literature name and treats them as whatever character he assigns them. Which can be hilarious, given that he downtalks Scarecrow because he thinks Scarecrow is the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz or calls either Joker, Harley or both by either Pennywise or IT. Likely still provides some help to other villains if they manage to find him and use the right words.

Anyways, I believe that’s it… If not, I’ll do more.

But for now, this is my contribution to day 5 of the Jervis Tetch Appreciation Week of 2018.

Y’all have a frabious day as always~

Amazing

Like Them

Y’all mistake me for someone who knows what I’m doing

Can you imagine Bruce Wayne having the private residences of his various rogues tapped? Like he could log on to one and hear a live audio stream of their actions. Imagine:

Ivy quietly making soft ‘cooing’ noise to the various plants which she keeps in her home to nurture and for her protection. Sometimes Harley can also be picked up but she soon disappears after a few weeks or so.

Joker seemingly being aware that Batman has his home tapped and is happy to hold long provocative conversations in the hope that the Bat is listening at any given moment. Bruce hates it since Joker seems to have a sixth sense about when he is tuned in and uses it to his advantage to get under his skin.

Catwoman being the only other rogue who seems to be aware that Batman is listening to her but she is rarely home (and is intelligent enough to not discuss her business) so she uses it as an opportunity to flirt and give hints as to which expensive gifts she would not mind receiving.

Scarecrow’s line is pretty much silent most of the time since he tends to conduct experiments elsewhere but the occasional hummed lullaby can be heard along with mad cackling and it unsettles Bruce more than he is willing to let on.

Edward Nygma being, by far, the loudest of them all. Between the cacophony of creaking and grinding that his various electronic projects make as he constructs them and his incessant need to hear his own voice and practise riddles it can be very grating. Plus he sings. A lot.

The Mad Hatter seeming to have a habit of holding daily tea parties which are almost unintelligible as Tetch fully descends into the madness which has a great hold of him. Bruce can only hear the story of the Walrus and the Carpenter so many times.

Bruce having to force himself to check the feed assigned to Harvey Dent as there is always a chance that instead of picking up Two-Face barking instructions to his henchmen over the telephone, he may pick up pure silence only broken by the occasional sob of the man whom he was once best friends with.

HARLEY, THE MAN IS DRESSED HEAD TO TOE IN BLACK LEATHER! HOW THE HELL DOES THAT READ AS ‘VANILLA’ TO YOU?!!!

If Edward and Jonathan meet again in season 7 of Rogues! the podcast it can possibly only go these two ways:

when i was 12 and new to tumblr i didn't know what bisexual meant and i thought it was like you had split personalities and one was gay and one was straight so i asked someone i was kind of friends with "who are you today?" and when they went ??? i said "are you the gay one or the straight one today" and they blocked me

Bi people when their gay side takes over

Are we gonna talk about the only thing that calmed his anger and stress was a message from scarecrow? < 3

a man and his legion of robot children vs a half-baked former district attorney

A friend and I were talking about crack headcanons and shit, and one of them just-

“Scarecrow is secretly a pro at freestyle rap and can do it incredibly fast.” “There’s definitely been a point in time where Joker got styled on by his rap skills in a hilarious fashion.”

And now, days later, I still can’t stop thinking about it-
