The Teams - Batman: Vigilante
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pick random name characters for random ref pose. So I create some situation :
The Troubles: Harley is just Harley ; Harvey fronts because he saw cute puppies (to the damn of Harv) ; Joker pouts because he asked Batman to a date, but he only brings him back to Arkham; Poison Ivy is just stressed by the others Troubles.
The Bookworms: March Harriet tired of the noisy discord when she was still in the Wonderland Gang ; Scarecrow being arrogant against a stupid bully ; Riddler nervous by the aura of Penguin ; Mad Hatter started winning against Batman (Spoiler: he lost)
No Team Just Lead: Mr. Freeze is tired of Riddler not noticing the love of Penguin ; Lex Luthor was closed to win against Superman (Spoiler: he lost) ; Penguin got a new bird ; Bane tries to calm down his goons maybe a little too excited to destroy everything.

so I think you guys are really cool, and I was wondering how Jervis would feel about Martin ⬇️
Tumblr media
(I used a picrew to make him so the art isn't mine, also he's based off the March Hare)
(Also I just love this blog and I think you're really cool)
Who are you? Do you want to drink some tea ?
*blinks harldy*
WAIT YOU CAN'T DRINK TEA YOU DON'T HAVE A MOUTH (⁠(⁠(⁠;⁠ꏿ⁠_⁠ꏿ⁠;⁠)⁠)⁠)
Jervis, the guy said he's based off the March Hare
But-
Harriet Pratt is the March Hare! How can we have two March Hare??? 😵‍💫
Note: Harriet Pratt is a canon character in DC, she is actually the March Hare
Let me show her:
Tumblr media
HARRIET!!!!
Martin I love your boots :3
Note: I forgot to say there is Jaina Hudson a.k.a White Rabbit 😅 she is a bunny girl as DC loves to sexualise the female characters

When they grow up they moved to the America to start a new life. They would steal jewels and other valuable goods to get by before the two got a jobs as escorts at a club owned by William Warren. One night they discovered a new white noise machine created by Warren which would be able to control peaples minds. They decided to steal the it, but were interupted by the Mad Hatter who was being chased by security. Mad Hatter escapeb, but both women were shot and left for dead by security. Harriet was saved and nursed back to health by the Mad Hatter. He told her that is device was stolen by Warren and he wanted revenge him, just like Harriet. Harriet took on the name March Harriet joining his Wonderland Gang then attacked Warren's complex. Warren was away on business so they killed his entire staff begin her criminal career.
Tumblr media
Introduced with the The Wonderland Gang the Lion real name Lewis Yarnell was an enforcer before he joined the Wonderland Gang with Skitch Benson. They stole two hundred thousand dollars from the Empire Bank as well as a stylized rendering of the lion and the unicorn.
Tumblr media
Introduced with the The Wonderland Gang the Unicorn real name Skitch Benson was an enforcer befoe he joined the Wonderland Gang with Lewis Yarnell. They stole two hundred thousand dollars from the Empire Bank as well as a stylized rendering of the lion and the unicorn.
Tumblr media
Introduced with the The Wonderland Gang the Walrus real name Moe Blum was an enforcer for the Black Mask before his untimely demise. He was told Tweedledum and Tweedledee to join the Wonderland Gang as The Walrus. While robbing a bank he fought Nightwing and was utterly defeated by the him leading to his arreste.
Tumblr media
Introduced in Detective Comics #74 1943 Tweedledee & Tweedledum real names Dumfrey Tweed and Deever Tweed are cousins who resemble each other so closely that they are often mistaken for identical twins. Going by the names Tweedledum and Tweedledee they started stealing from different places at the same time, to confuse the police. Eventually being defeated by Batman and Robin. They escaped prison, making a fake hotel to lure people and steal from them and running a political campaign to become Mayor of Yonville. Using the the law to arrest Batman before being beaten. Then they were sent to Arkham Asylum were they met the Joker. Acting as his muscle after moving to Metropolis before being stopped by Batman and Superman. They were there at the start of great gang war of Gotham and the GCPD shot  Dumfrey Tweed dead. During the Infinite Crisis Tweedledee and the New Dum are work with the Joker and Secret Society of Super Villains. We would find out that Dumfree's twin brother Dumson Tweed had taken his place. After Infinite Crisis the new Tweedledum and Tweedledee were part of the Wonderland Gang. Originally believed to be run by the Mad Hatter, it was actually the Tweeds who ran the gang using one of Tetch's own mind control devices on him in order to cash in on his notoriety. Recuting Lion, the Unicorn, the Walrus and the Carpenter. Eventually Mad Hatter got back at them by sticking mind control chips on the them and making them fight. After some time The Tweeds reformed the Wonderland Gang before apprehended by Batman, Robin and Nightwing.
Tumblr media
Introduced with the The Wonderland Gang the Carpenter Real name Jenna Duffy was a pickpocket and con artist operating out of Keystone City. Later moving to Gotham when she got unwanted police attention. She was enlisted by Tweedledum and Tweedledee to serve as the Carpenter in their new Wonderland Gang. While they robbed a bank she fought Robin, who quckly defeated and arrested her. Duffy left the villain life in favour of working as an real carpenter. Though she tried some work in Keystone City, she later returned to Gotham. Taking jobs from super villains, among them the Gotham City Sirens and other who she would build lairs for extremely high prices. She was later found by the Broker, who gave her a job working for a new client known as the Director. When he tried to use her as a guinea pig for his deathtraps, she helped Batman in stopping him.
With all the different leaders like Mad Hatter, the Tweedle's and March Harriet as a potential candidate one has to be chosen. In the meantime though the disorder this brings matches the wonderland theme brilliantly. For March Harriet I believe you could push her into more of a Catwoman villain and have heard call Felicia the Cheshire Cat. With th Tweedles you could have them have to go up against the likes of the Joker gang given their previous connection and similar theming. Mad Hatter could easily come away with the wrong message. Instead of making an Alice he tries to make someone who can go up against Batman, a Queen of Hearts. Would the Gang expanding into her deck and him losing control as he sees her more as an Alice over time. The Carpenter in general should get more slice of life stories and any of the menagerie could make the protagonist of an interesting loser villain story. You have to remember Killer Moth may be lame, but he sits their thankful he's not the Walrus.

Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles
The March Hare
In the DC Comics universe, The March Hare is a more significant villain bedeviling both Batman and Batgirl.  Here she is Harriet Pratt, a jewell thief from England who fell in with Jarvis Tetch and assumed the mantle of the March Hare as a part of The Mad Hatter’s Wonderland Gang.   The villainess first appeared in Detective Comics Vol. 1 #841. 
In the DC Animated Universe of Batman: The Animated Series, meanwhile, the character is rendered to a singular cameo.  Yet it is Easter Sunday and this is as close as it gets for a thematic entry for the day.  
In any case, The March Hare was an unwitting civilian forced to act in the role by The Mad Hatter.  The Hatter used his mind control circuit cards to create a small army dressed up to appear as characters from Lewis Carroll’s  famous tome,  Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.  Thankfully, Batman was able to defeat The Mad Hatter and all of his mind-controlled pawns were freed from his thrall.  
The March Hare appeared in the twenty-seventh episode of the first season of Batman: The Animated Series, ‘Mad as A Hatter.’ 
Happy Easter!

Please tell us a bit more about your March Hare! Is Pascal a Gotham native? How did he get his bullet wound?
he is not a Gotham native, hes originally from the western part of Texas. he walked/hitch hiked/etc over the course of a month and half before ending up in Gotham, this is due to the incident involving his bullet wound. his dad shot him in the side two days after his 15th birthday due to a rising belief that his child was the spawn of evil and getting a call that pushed that idea to the limit (variety of reasons he believed this). after getting himself to the hospital and recovering enough, Pascal ran away.
oh also Pascal's birthday is March 13th, meaning that event happened on the Ides of March :3
oh and also also Harriet Pratt (the canon march hare in the DCverse) is is younger sister in the au and didnt end up becoming March Harriet in it (she's still marinating for what ends up happening to her) - Pascal wanted to distance himself from his family so he forged a new last name once in Gotham.
oh and also also also he worked for Wayne Enterprises as a bioengineer that specialized in animal instinct and intelligence before funding was pulled as his experiments got more and more questionable
theres more but im still having some of it marinate before i can organize it into words

Before we jump into Jacob Lawrence, how do you feel about the long-form mini biographies? Too long? Too condensed? This one's a bit shorter and more career focused, better or worse? Jacob Lawrence was born in 1917 in Atlantic City New Jersey to parents who had moved North from the rural South. After his parent's divorce he was put into foster care in 1924, but he would meet her again at 13 in Harlem upon moving to New York. His mother enrolled him in after school art programs. This was meant to occupy his time, but would grow into something much more. He would learn under many prominent artists in the Harlem Renaissance including Augusta Savage. His work, lively portrayals of historical narratives and events as well as contemporary glimpses into black urban life and culture. In both, he was deeply interested in the stories and lives of the black diaspora. His unique approach garnered him much praise and success. His teacher, Charles Alston says of his work: "Having thus far miraculously escaped the imprint of academic ideas and current vogues in art,... he has followed a course of development dictated by his own inner motivations... Working in the very limited medium of flat tempera he achieved a richness and brilliance of color harmonies both remarkable and exciting... Lawrence symbolizes more than anyone I know, the vitality, the seriousness and promise of a new and socially conscious generation of Negro artists." In 1941, Jacob married fellow student of Savage and artist Gwendolyn Knight. They worked together and she would often assist him, gessoing panels and contributing captions. In 1943, Jacob was drafted into the Coast Guard during World War II. He painted and sketched while he served, but sadly, all 48 of the pieces he produced documenting the war and his experience, are lost. o prolific was Jacob, that many of his works are actually lost. Or at least partially. As he did works in series. But, just in the last few years (2017, 2020, and 2021 respectively) some panels have actually been recovered. Jacob also illustrated several children's books, including Harriet and the Promised Land in 1968 and 18 pieces for a collection of Aesop's Fables in 1970, full published with all 23 in 1998. He dabbled in teaching. First at Black Mountain College, then The New School for Social Research, Pratt Institute and the Skrowhegan School, by 1970 he was teaching at the University of Washington and was a professor of art there from 1971 to 1986.
He took many commissions during this time, and of course never neglected his personal works. One of his most extraordinary works was in 1980 when he completed a 40 foot long mural dedicated to academic endeavor, made of porcelain and steel called Exploration.
In his later years, Jacob and his wife, created the Jacob and Gwendolyn Lawrence Foundation for the Creation, Presentation and Study of American Art. With particular interest in promoting and emphasizing the works of black artists. You can use it right now, and search the archives. After a lifetime and hundreds of works under his belt, Jacob Lawrence continued to paint until his last days on earth. He died in the year 2000 from lung cancer at the age of 82. We really only scratched the surface of Jacob's work, both in terms of detail and in quantity. The body of work he created in his life is staggering. His work was both simple and complex, and never shied from the political while lacking in any lofty pretentiousness. It must be seen to be appreciated. If you would like to see his work, and learn about his life: JACOB LAWRENCE, HIROSHIMA SERIES  Over the Line: The Art and Life of Jacob Lawrence
