If I were ever to be able to make a pitch to DC Comics, I´d love to create my own villain. It´s an idea I have thought about for a while...

Housewife - I always was fascinated by the concept of the puritan psycho, so I thought, all Batman villainess tend to be sexy femme fatales, what if one was the opposite of that? On the surface, the character would have the old-fashioned looks of a fifties, Father Knows Best kinda housewife... In fact, though, she´d be a dangerous and vicious killer with an obsession against the "moral decadence" of the new millennium. Her favorite targets would be people in the sex industry, controversial artists, rock bands, people who defend things like legalization of drugs, etc. She has this obsession with the "clean" sitcoms of the fifties that, in her mind, were the model of what society should really be. In fact, her mind was affected in such a way that she has become completely colorblind and the world is black-and-white like an old TV show in her eyes. Her favorite killing instruments would be things used in housekeeping, such as knives, cleaners, lownmowers, and of course guns, being a devoted NRA defender... Batman of course would be a target of preference, due to his "devil-like" symbology and her Frederic Wertham-like suspicions about him and Robin... She talks in old slangs like "swell" and has an obsessive-compulsive obsession with cleanness and organization, which is one of her achilles heels. The comic book cover with her first appearance would feature her wearing an apron covered in blood and holding a ***** knife...
 
Court Jester - As the years passed, the fight between Batman and the Joker came to an inevitable end. It all stopped after the Joker had a time-bomb surgically inserted into his body. Setting the clock to three hours, he scoured Gotham looking for the best place to explode: a place where the Batman would have a hard time saving the thousands of people. Batman heard of the time-bomb, and decided there was nothing to do but take Joker up with him in the BatWing, high into the sky. There was no other option. Therefore, the explosion happened miles above the ground, killing both Batman and the Joker, finally balancing out the energies of good and evil in Gotham City... for a time.

Nightwing took on the persona of the Batman. He helped it so no one would draw the connection between Bruce Wayne's disapearance and the Batman being the BatWing when it exploded; so he made it appear like Batman had somehow survived.

Time is like a circle, and is not linear. So the same things arise, just in different forms. Harley Quinn gave birth to the Joker's child. For 18 years she trained him to be be like his father.

Therefore, giving birth to "The Court Jester." The grim smile is voluntary. The white skin is makeup. Taking after his father, the Court Jester proves to the new Batman that the Joker's legacy will live on forever and ever. Gotham City will never be free. There must always be the symbol of positive, and the symbol of negative.
 
Can anyone remember the name of the Batman villain that was pretty much created by all of the other Bat-villains? I think that it was during a Brubaker run and I thought it was a great idea. I would love to see that character reappear.

Not only do you believe in Heath Ledger, but you want to see Batman die. Heretic.

If you didn't believe in Hypertime, I'd say you were unsalvageable.
 
I want The Wrath to come back. He's featured in the old Batman Special: The Player on the Other Side.

Can we try and sway away from "Mr. Freeze and Firefly have a lovechild and then both die in a freak accident. The child later goes on to become HOT FLUSH !" and actually try out some original characters?

Yes, thank you.
 
I like the concept of Housewife. I could actually see her being at Arkham. Not because of "the moralty issue", but her view is to eradicate the problem or kill.

Who else thinks the Joker would take this ***** to the cleaners? She's everything he's not. His chaos would eat her alive, and he'd do it to spite her. Yeah...I'd like to see that.
 
On the whole, I tend to distrust new characters. When you actually look through all the old issues, there are so many characters just rusting and dusting away in the dustbin of history, that we don't need anything new. For every Breach getting a new title, there's an A-X just waiting to be revived. For every Hush terrorizing Batman, there's already a Wrath.
 
Iv'e been working on a character for some time. Not sure if I should post in or not.
 
Charley Boy (more of a villain for Robin than Batman): A highly inteligent inner city youth, Robert Coulter became obsessed with becoming one of the greatest criminal masterminds of our time. To this end, he took over a local street gang, the Khunds (with no relation to the alien race whatsoever besides the fact that they thought the name sounded cool), and took the alias of Charley Boy, which sounded to him like a suitible gang nick name. He then, slowly, began building power for the gang, until he became a viable threat for other criminal organizations. He then set plans into motion to gain the atention of Gotham's best and brightest and eliminate them. His first action was to order a hit on Jim Gordon, the now retired Comissioner. Meanwhile, to distract the Bat Family and the police department from investigating the threats on Gordon's life, he and his henchmen carried out several brutal murders to make it apear that a new serial killer is in Gotham. The press dub this ficticious killer The Turantula, due to his MO being to kill with spider venom. Then, he lures Robin into a trap by feeding him false information about a drug trade off. Robin is greeted by several well prepared thugs with guns and is captured. Evidence is set to make it apear that The Turantula has captured Robin, and Batman and the rest of the bat family falls into a trap aswell. Chalrey Boy's plan is to have his men kill Gordon, and then kill the members of the bat family and film it, showing that he most certainly means buisness to the other mobs by sending them tapes. However, Robin is at the time being held seperately from the others, and is rescued by Gordon, who was able to defeat and tie up his assassin and get information out of him. Gordon frees Robin, and the two of them free the others. Robin faces Charley Boy personally, prompting the would be Moriarty to escape. Charley Boy then returns home just in time for his mother to call him down for dinner, and plans his next scheme.
 
Again, this guy's more of a villain for Robin.


Velvet: Origionally, he was Frederick Tate. He lived a very sheltered life, as his parents homeschooled him and ddin't allow him to leave the house ever. Eventually, wanting to see the world, he ran away from home. Seeing the beauty of the world, he decided to indulge himself as much as possible. Basically, he's a nihilistic hedonist. He sees the world as the land of do-as-you-please, and thus, he does. He sees society and law and constructs made by fearful people, and thus has no regard for them whatsoever. Now, he's not a psycho killer or anything. However, he sees absolutely nothing wrong with doing anything. Genocide registers to him on the same level as going down town for a quart of milk. Thus, while he doesn't actively seek out to kill people and is not motivated by any form of sadism, he is perfectly willing to kill people to get what he wants and shows absolutely no remorse for it. Because he doesn't bother earning money to get what he wants, he's a chronic theif. Robin met him when he was holding up a convinence store. He escaped, and eventually formed a gang of others who share his philosophy on life. Some are murderous, some are greedy, and some are completely pacifistic. But all do as they please without any fear of the consequences. They live in a small commune in the park, and often run across the Boy Wonder when stealing food or whatever conveniences they desire.
 
I don't know. I rather liked the sound of it. That's probably his reason for it to, since he's usually motivated by impulse.
 
ok.
heres mine

Dr.Orinn Fink
Dentist

As a child he lived with his abusive drunk of a father considering his mother died giving birth to him. When he was younger he would get grades that got him just passing and his father would beat him for it. His father was once a dentist but lost his license for not using the right tools for dentistry, this drove him to drinking that and the death of his wife. But back to Orinn, because of him being abused he would always be amd and he bagan to take his anger out on small animals, when his father found out this just made him more abusive and he began to drink more, he would beat orinn with anything he could find and he would constantly blame Orinn's mother death on him and told him that he wouldn't amount to anything. this drove orinn mad and he decide to teach his father a lesson by cutting his brakes so it would seem as an accident when his father's car crashed, In the end it worked as his father was killed in a car accident the next day. he was sent to an orphanage at the age of ten and didn't really mind being there. Actually he ended getting better grades. As a teenager he was constantly picked on and beat up this lead him to his second murder. killing the school bully by making it look like a sucide, no ne ever found out. Even though he hated his father he loved his grandfather who was also a dentist so he became one, he was an outcast and this kept his mind somewhat twisted and one day he snapped while treating a patient in his personal office he began to pull out random teeth and and turtured by making him feel all the pain, he knew he would lose his license if anyone found out about this so so he cut the guys throat and buried his body in his backyard. this began a reign of murder and torture.

Sounds twisted and crazy.

I love it :)
 
thanks he is and that's what I was going for.
 
i've always though a Kraven -esque character would suit batman to a tee, with traditional methods of hunting vs modern day gadgets etc...

The last hunt could have easily been a batman story.
 
Streaker - Well who doesn't want to see her running around in a TEC book.

Sounds like the movie Serial Mom.
Cross that with Pleasantville and you´ll be close. Someone who´s mind is stuck in the idealized America of the fifties.

Exactly. Thanks.
 
She wouldn't be my creation, but I think that Duela Dent would make a good addition to the Batman's rogues gallery
