#nora would be the scarecrow

[downtofragglerock]

I’m just remembering that rwby chibi had jnpr do a group cosplay with zwei on two separate occasions, which brings to mind that doofenshmirtz meme but also

1. Confirms that jnpr is that friend group/polycule that does group cosplays whenever they get the chance, which frankly does track.

2. They can and will steal their friend’s dog whenever necessary for said group cosplay.

3. All of their group cosplays require a dog for it to work, because first they did scooby doo, and then they did peanuts. So what would their third group cosplay with zwei be? My money’s on the wizard of oz.

Scarecrow, Two Face, Penguin, Mad Hatter, and Mr. Freeze with a Partner who Sleeps With A Plush of Them

Inspired by the Scarecrow and Two Face plushies I sewed.

Scarecrow

You had spent days hand-sewing this plush doll of Jonathan Crane, and though it wasn't perfect, you had put a lot of love into it.

The doll appeared to stare up at you with its button eyes while you held its floppy, huggable body and stroked its soft hair. It was like an exact copy of Jonathan, just smaller. And probably less likely to commit crimes.

Jonathan would be incredibly surprised to see the plush- lots of times when people made artistic interpretations of him they were meant to be terrifying. He had never seen a version of himself this...cuddly. He doesn't mind it, though. In fact, he's quite flattered.

When you tell him about how you cuddle the plush at night he practically melts.

Two Face

You made most of the plush Two Face with soft minky fabric, but decided to add something extra- faux fur on the white side of his hair and dot textured minky for his scars. He was perfect.

The first time you showed it to Harvey, he was speechless. His fingers ran across the soft fabrics you had used to capture him so lovingly, and you might have even seen a tear roll down the unscarred side of his face. Two Face is the one to break the silence, saying "you really want to cuddle me that much?"

When you admit to them you cuddle the plush at night to feel close to them, they immediately wrap you in a massive hug. You hug them back of course, making sure to kiss their scars.

Penguin

Oswald had always been insecure about his appearance, and no matter how much you tried to encourage and support him with words, hugs, everything...it always seemed as if his trauma would make him feel unworthy of you. So you got an idea. You would show him exactly how you saw him, in the form of a cuddly plushie.

You had to modify your pattern quite a bit to make it accurate, but it was worth it. The plush Penguin sat before you with its arms outstretched, just waiting to be held.

You paid extra attention to translating the parts of himself Oswald was insecure about into the plush- intricately sewn hands, a prominent beak-like nose, his cuddly, plump body, and of course his long, soft hair.

You're a bit nervous to show the plush to him as you're not sure how he'll react, so you start kind of awkwardly.

"Uh...I...I really wanted to show you how wonderful you are in my eyes and I...I adore every single part of you, so I made this..."

Oswald doesn't know what to think at first, but he's incredibly touched. He still tries to play it cool, of course.

"I mean, you could always have a life-sized version of me if you want."

Catch him off guard by kissing his nose and wrapping him in a hug.

Mad Hatter

Okay, uh.. You didn't sew this one. You just kinda found a Disney Mad Hatter plushie on Ebay or something and thought it reminded you of Jervis.

(Fun fact, I actually do have this plush and he's very soft!)

Even if you didn't sew it, Jervis freaking loves it. You want to cuddle? With him??? So badly that you got a plushie to hold when he wasn't there to comfort you????

Mr. Freeze

This man is very insecure about how he's unable to cuddle you due to his physical state, so you get an idea.

The plush was honestly kind of hard to make, with all the intricate details of his suit, but it was absolutely worth it. You even added a voice box inside so you could hear his sweet German accent whenever you wanted.

Also you added a small tuft of fluffy fabric for his hair, (ik BTAS doesn't have that but HQTAS does and I freaking love it so it's going here!)

He absolutely cries when you show it to him.

You wrap your arms around him when he does, it stings a bit but it's worth it to see him smile.

For Christmas that year you make him a Nora plushie, with magnets in her hands so she can hold hands with your Mr. Freeze plush.

You better believe he cuddles his Nora plush every day. It's not even close to having his wife back of course, but it does relieve some of the pain to get to hold her again.

Damian Helps Mr. Freeze

Context: Damian decides this is a good deed he wants to undertake, always intrigued by the man's story. He accepts that this won't necessarily turn Victor into a good guy, but it's an opportunity that could help the man get his wife back.

Mr. Freeze (talking to himself): Would eating spicy food kill me? I never enjoyed it, but now that I can’t have it, it feels different. Thoughts for later.

While Victor debated possible hot foods he could eat cold, Robin!Damian quietly snuck into the frigid former outlet store, now transformed into Victor Fries' icy domain. Fortunately, no one had been frozen, but the young hero wasn’t there for a fight him. He had a proposal to offer the German scientist.

Robin!Damian (calling out): Hi, Victor!

Mr. Freeze (turning around): Um, hi. You're the new Robin?

Robin!Damian: Yes, how could you tell?

Mr. Freeze: You’re shorter and… brown. No offense—I promise, it’s just that the other one is—

Robin!Damian: A skinny white boy who looks like he needs a feeding tube?

Mr. Freeze: Ja, that is insanely accurate. It's a pleasure to finally meet you, I like the hero suit, the hood is a nice touch.

Robin!Damian (pridefully): Thanks, I requested that alteration be added to make it my own.

Mr. Freeze: Understandable. How did you get mixed up with the Bat though?

Robin!Damian (lying with ease): My father and him go way back. Old college friends.

Mr. Freeze (falling for the lie): I can’t say I agree with him getting a new child sidekick like that, but at least he’s not the Joker. No offense, but what are you—number five or four?

Robin!Damian (holding up four fingers): Four, but I’m the best.

Mr. Freeze nodded then sighed, tapping the glass dome that protected his face.

Mr. Freeze (concerned): I know why you’re here, kid. You want to take me down. Just run along—I’m not in the mood to freeze a child. Crow brought this up when we were in Arkham, and I hate that he made some valid points.

Robin!Damian (bitter tone): Let’s not bring up Scarecrow.

Robin!Damian tightened his fist, suppressing his remaining anger from the time Scarecrow refused to fight a child.

Robin!Damian (continuing): I have a proposal for you, Victor. I’ve read your file multiple times, and your story is truly tragic. I’m sorry about your wife’s illness and the suit you’re trapped in.

Mr. Freeze (melancholic): It’s quite all right. I continue to search for a cure while committing crimes. Honestly, the crime part is just an enjoyable hobby... a means to an end. I don’t want to burden you with my life story.

Robin!Damian (reassuringly): No, no, no, you’re fine. It’s admirable that you haven’t stopped trying to save her. Although the life of crime is definitely a negative, your love for her remains strong. And if it helps, your suit is impressive.

Victor's eyes softened with appreciation.

Mr. Freeze: I need it to live, but thank you. I upgrade it frequently. You’re making a good impression. Would you like to help me?

Robin!Damian (nodding eagerly): Yes.

Mr. Freeze (pleased): Always wanted a young apprentice.

Robin!Damian (raising his hand and shaking his head): Working with Batman is something I’m committed to. I meant I can help heal your wife. I know a guy—Ra's—

Mr. Freeze (aiming his freeze gun at Robin): Oh no, not that crazy dictator and his pit of green goop. I’ve heard the effects it has on that formerly dead man. How is he, by the way?

Robin!Damian (unfazed): Batman pays to keep people from dying, and he’s an awesome hero.

Mr. Freeze (surprised but understanding): Really? Good for him. As for you and Ra's, I have to pass. I’m a man of science… mostly. I don’t trust that hocus-pocus.

Robin!Damian: Let me finish, sir. I convinced him not to use the pit and insisted he help find a cure for your wife. Ra's recently updated me; he’s gathered his best scientists, and they’ve made progress on a cure for the fourth stage that Nora is in.

Mr. Freeze (taken aback): They’ve... already started working on a cure?

Robin!Damian: Mm-hm. And Batman’s okay with Ra's helping you.

Mr. Freeze lowered his freeze gun, hesitation evident on his face.

Mr. Freeze: Wirklich? (For real?)

Robin!Damian (nodding): For real. Batman and Ra's have a... rocky relationship, but he said that if it helps cure Nora, he’ll allow me to contact him. Just so you know, there’s no guarantee a cure will be found quickly, but they do have one for the third stage.

Mr. Freeze (hopeful): A cure has been found for the third stage? That’s… wunderbar!

Damian nodded with a smile.

Damian: I had to negotiate a lot with Ra's, and I definitely owe him for this, but he’s willing to help you—no strings attached.

Mr. Freeze (shocked): No… strings… attached?

Damian had agreed to travel to an island to fight ninjas for his grandfather to secure this deal—a secret he had to keep from his parents. But if he could help someone he felt warranted aid, it would have to be done.

Robin!Damian (tight smile): The toughest part was getting him to agree. Heroes like me put our lives on the line for people like you. Here’s his business card.

Damian held out a laminated red-on-black business card for Victor to take.

Robin!Damian: Give him a call and set up a meeting. I want to help you with this, Victor. I really do, so please take the offer.

Victor took the card, a half-smile breaking through his usually solemn demeanor.

Victor: Hm, you are a good kid.

Robin!Damian (nonchalantly): More of a good hero, actually.

Victor nodded, patting the young boy on the head. His hand was cold, but Damian felt a warmth inside, satisfied to have helped a tragic villain.

Victor: I swear if this works, Nora and I are going to be the best villain couple ever. I have a suit for her and a cool freeze gun and—oh, Scheiße, I shouldn’t have said that out loud.

Damian, having disconnected his communication device before entering the lair, waved away those concerns.

Robin!Damian: I factored that in, and I support your teaming up when Nora awakens. Batman won’t be around for long, but I will, and I think you both would make great foes.

Victor (jovial tone): Kid, now I really like you. Honestly, count yourself crossed off my list. I won’t ever freeze you.

Robin!Damian: I’m going to brag about that to the others. Bad news for now, though—I have to take you in, but the cops won’t hurt you or anything.

Victor (resigned to his arrest): Ja, factored that. But I will honor my promise and not freeze you. I’ll call this dastardly man after they lock me up. I did miss my old cell; it gives me time alone with my thoughts.

Damian nodded in agreement as he and Victor walked out of the warehouse.

Robin!Damian: Oh, and I heard you’ve been having temperature issues in your cell. I can talk to someone about that as well.

Victor: Danke, it's as if they don’t understand I require cold to live! Young hero, your father would be proud of how well you handled a villain of my caliber.

Robin!Damian (smiling): Making sure to tell my entire family that too. You're very welcome, Victor.

Danny + Skeletons in Gotham

It had already been two weeks since the Green Skeletons appeared in Gotham. Bruce was sure a necromancer was in his town, and John was too busy to help him with it.

Bruce wasn't sure what to do, while the Skeletons, as far as I know, only appear four times a day to kick the Joker, Victor Zsasz, Professor Pyg, Black Mask, Scarecrow, Hugo Strange, or any Criminal in the nuts(hurt them) and then are gone. He wasn't sure what would happen in the future. It doesn't help that the Police or someone similar don't want to help him! They see it as comedy.

The 14 year old Danny was having fun in this student swap in Gotham; he even met his hero, Dr. Freeze, and talked with him about the books he wrote. Victor really liked the young boy after he helped heal Nora with Yeti Frostbite's help. So he helped the boy, and Batman seemed to be happy to have one less villain.

Yes, Bruce is very happy; 1 is saved!

A/N

Danny is the reason for the skeleton; he just never noticed it. And the souls in Gotham are happy to get their revenge; the villains had killed many people.

Would Batman Rogues Tamper With Halloween Candy?

Joker: Plants just enough evidence to make it look like maybe 1 out of 100 pieces of candy will have Joker toxin in them, watches Gotham whip itself into a frenzy and deny itself and its children their Halloween fun, then hijacks the news the next morning to reveal that he hadn't spiked anything at all--the reveal ends with a play on the two meanings of "sucker".

Riddler: The stubborn pervasiveness of such a blatant falsehood annoys him so much that he refuses to dignify it by making it true.

Catowman: That is simply not her M.O.

Penguin: Representative of the "Drugs cost money, why would I hand them out to people with no money who won't be able to identify or trace what they got high on?" camp. That said, he might squeeze in on a technicality, because any candy manufacturer that he owns is definitely breaking all the FDA regulations.

Poison Ivy: Maybe dosing the children of high-level corporate execs with the illnesses their waste production sets loose on third-world countries? But more likely she's shoring up her resources to combat the Yearly Evergreen Massacre.

Mr. Freeze: Would this advance research into curing Nora's illness? Would it bring in money he could use to keep the cryo-chamber running? Then why would he do it?

Mad Hatter: Yes, absolutely, no question about it. But not for any of the more sordid reasons that one might suspect. No, this is a showcase for his skill with hallucinogens, rather than outright control, as well as his misapplied sense of whimsey. The very city of Gotham itself is going as Wonderland for Halloween...whether it likes it or not.

Scarecrow: Contrives to lace every single piece of candy in the city with a highly diluted form of fear toxin, that raises your pulse and tickles the back of your neck and makes the shadows looks a little deeper, in the name of fostering the "Halloween spirit".

[andys-dc-headcanons]

I think Arkham inmates almost unanimously hate Joker and a lot of these are connected to a love of Harley but 3 specific cases I think about a lot are Scarecrow Mad Hatter and Mr Freeze.

Scarecrow adored his time as a professor and more specifically he held his students with the highest regard, theyre the only group of people he would outright deny for the nightmarish fear tests he did. Because of his love, seeing ,joker ruin one of his star students absolutely kills him inside.

Mad Hatter is sadly a little too far gone to truly understand the full context of the Joker Harley situation but in his head? Its the Cheshire Cat being cruel to Alice. Its really a perfect storm for him to care, and he might not even notice if not for the similarities to the characters.

Freeze saw a lot of Nora in Harley when she first came to the Asylum as a psychiatrist. A very bubbly girl who really wants to help the world. Freeze is also someone who cares a lot about love. Love drives his entire goal, so when he hears about the Joker taking advantage of this pure love that Freeze would kill to have again, it makes his blood boil. The cherry on the top is Joker loves tormenting Freeze with quips like "what's wrong frosty? The old snowball and chain giving you the cold shoulder"

[prof-ramses]

Finally talking about Batman Caped Crusader (and villains I want in it)

So, up until now, I haven't shown my love of batman, bat-rogues and dc villains in general on this blog, but having finished and marinated on the first season of the phenomenal Caped Crusader series, I've decided to change that.

The show is basically everything I wanted it to be, and though the way its plots are carefully threaded together and amazing, it's the characters, especially the villains, that stand out.

And since arguably the biggest thing about this series is the ways it's reinventing the villains it uses, I thought the best way to start talking about it was to run through some ideas I've had on how it might portray various rouges going forward.

Starting with Scarecrow, as he's been referenced twice in the series. A blink and you'll miss it easter egg in episode 5 shows a self help book written by Dr. Jonathan Crane, which makes me wonder if this take on Scarecrow will lean more towards something like the guru working for Scarecrow in the TNBA episode Never Fear, or possibly a more diluted character who genuinely believes he's helping people overcome their fears.

Moving on to speculative characters, after some thought I've come up with a take on Riddler that would slot neatly into BCC is a traveling magician/escapologist who draws in crowds by offering a cash prize to anyone who can explain his seemingly impossible escapes. He also plans his tours so he can find and pick off other big time magicians by putting them in death trap to see how good their escape skills really are.

And rounding out the dorks, the biggest idea I've had for Mad Hatter is a scientist with a method of inducing intense suggestibility (either the chipped cards or some form of drug) but can't find funding. Because of this, he makes his living as a taxidermist, which would allow both for some creepy visuals and (assuming they go down this route) a jabberwocky patched together out of various animals as a screwed up art piece

I've seen some people suggest Bane for season 2, but I think it would be more interesting to use one of the lesser used bruisers Batman has gone up against like Blockbuster (specifically the version from Nightwing comics), Amygdala or even Solomon Grundy, what with the supernatural aspects we've already seen.

If they do adapt Mr. Freeze, I know this will upset some people, but I want a less sympathetic version of Victor, purely because I'm sick of everything wanting to be Heart of Ice. Maybe he had his accident while trying to freeze Nora against her will, or maybe he causes out of exhaustion because he was neglecting to sleep.

And lastly, this show has the opportunity to be the first animated series to embrace the supernatural implications with The Ventriloquist. Scarface wouldn't even have to be fully alive, just a cursed dummy that amplifies negative emotions and might even be addictive in a way. You could have Batman and Wesker racing to find the dummy as it's being passed from person to person around Gotham.

By the way, if any artists see this and take to one or more of these ideas, feel free to draw your own take on them, just remember to tag me so I can see it :)

[rpking99]

So I came across a video where they put Batman against Spider-Man's villains but I ended the Video early cause for the very first villain (the Scorpion... so not even one of Spidey's biggest enemies) they said Batman would just call the Justice League for help... which really go against the idea of putting one Super Hero against anothers Rouge Gallery

So I wanna ask... how would Batman do against Green Goblin, Kingpin, Venom, Doc Ock and Kraven the Hunter?

And for Spider-man... how would he do against Joker, Mr. Freeze, Bane, Ra's al Ghul and Scarecrow?

Okay I'm gonna say this to start

Spider-Man? Walks through Batman's rogue gallery. Peter has to roll with any punch that hits him so people's hands are not SHATTERED. He can CASUALLY punch Scorpion's jaw off, who is MUCH stronger than a normal human.

Joker? Looses instantly against basic jokes at his expense. And he would not be able to effect Peter the same way some of Peter's own villains can. Because... Well Joker is no match for Peter physically or mentally, and the equivalent to the Joker for Peter has all the resources in the world

Anyone who is normal human levels like Two Face, Ra's, Riddler, Penguin, Anarky, Black Mask, Court of Owls, Killer Moth, Firefly, the mob bosses. All of them are easy to be taken out. Heck BANE would get his ass handed to him because Peter would still be too strong for him. Same with Killer Croc.

Mr Freeze would also be an easy win. But also Peter would be more than happy to help him and save him/Nora

The ones who would give Peter the biggest issue are the ones with chemical weapons or inhuman abilities. Clayface is the main inhuman one here, but even then Peter is use to fighting Sand Man and Hydro Man.

Some people claim that with his experience with Mysterio, Scarecrow would be easy. .... Mystero focuses on lights and sound and illusions. There is nothing tangible there, there is no hallucinations in play. Fear Toxin could potentially trip Peter up, as well as fuck up his Spider-Sense. He'd have to the will to power through, but it's catch him off guard.

Poison Ivy would probably be his biggest issue with the phermones and vines and Peter's weakness for lovely ladies and red heads. Especially since, most of the time, she's not a bad guy just doing things the bad way.

Spider-Man sweeps Gotham

But.... On to Batman?

Kingpin and other mob style/human level villains? Bruce wins against. Him, Vulture, Shocker, guys like that. Same with Doc Ock on most days (those days when Dan Slott isn't giving Otto god mode)

Kraven? Kraven is like Bane without the venom weakness. Bruce is getting hunted, exhausted and more than his back broken.

Sand Man and Hydro Man, and kinda Electro, would give him a LOT of problems. But problems he could handle, ones he could overcome. They'd be hard but he could do it

Venom? Carnage? Any Symbiote? Spider strength, spider speed, spider reflexes, spider sense, webbing, wall crawling. All of that, enhanced, alongside tentacle attacks and being able to turn invisible? Sorry, Bruce is dead. The only way he'd win is with fire and sonic attacks, but he'd need to know their weakness BEFORE the fight to do so. Which goes against this idea. But even if he didn't, symbiotes have fluctuated so much with what they can and can't take when it comes to fire and sonics that might not even work.

And Green Goblin?

....

Green Goblin?

Sure, let's give Joker enhanced strength and speed and all the tech he could ever want. Let's give him as much, if not more, money than Bruce Wayne. Let's make him vindictive, angry and petty instead of just a sadist jokester

...

Bruce is either dead or broken by the Goblin. He can't keep up physically, Norman matches if not exceeds his gadget usage, Norman plans just as if not more than Bruce and he is just as cruel and evil as Joker without anythig that makes him hold back for Batman

[brucewaynehater101]

That Waltz's World ask about how much Tim would be kidnapped opened my eyes to how there is too much you can do with its personalized appearances

Just the angst of Batman and Oracle and Dick looking at Robin and calling it Little Wing or Jason again and again

((I have come to the realization that if Tim is repeatedly mistaken for Jason, it's gonna get misgender loads during that time as well, fuck))

Just imagine Red Hood looking at Robin and seeing the features of Damian under it's costume, not just her baby brother, but even all those street kids and women they give their all to protect

Hell maybe Red Hood sees herself back when she was Little Wing, back when they were magicless Jason

If Red Hood still goes through with beating the everloving shit out of her successor, maybe right before Nightwing gets to the scene—

—Red Hood sees what their body felt like it did in the warehouse, and when she looks down at her own hands, her body on top of Little Wing's . . .

. . . She sees The Joker instead of Red Hood, a crowbar instead of blades

((because Tim's magic is going into overdrive trying to keep it alive and now the illusions are extending to more people than just Tim here))

Now let's throw a bone for Tim and say that once it itself has become someone another truly cares for, that person stop seeing the illusion and starts seeing what Tim actually looks like in Waltz form

And since the illusion's implied to apply to Tim itself, maybe once Tim has accepted itself at long last, it sees what it truly looks like in Waltz form

Maybe instead Tim's acceptance of itself is the final piece required for the illusion to cease for those that care and are invested in Tim and (Red) Robin's wellbeing already or do in the future, plus itself

Oh yeah, what do rogues think of Red Robin? I bet Mr. Freeze sees Nora in it, that'll throw him off his a-game

Freeze won't like that Red Robin just looks like somebody you deem most precious of all will he?

Oh God what do general Gothamites think of the fact Red Robin's illusions are tailormade to make people think "I have to protect & treasure you" ???

Imagine it gets called an honorary mind-controller for shits and giggles and it's funny until outsiders take the joke to seriously and now they're hunting down Red Robin 💀💀💀💀

And no outsiders takes the Gothamite's or other bats word that it was only a joke and Red can't mind controll seriously, especially since the illusions convince the outsiders of their delusions further 💀

Maybe Scarecrow accidentally huffs some of his own fear toxin and seeing Red Robin afterwards he goes ballistic; kidnaps the vigilante and defends it with his life during his drug trip

I don't have any other ideas rip

Too much fun you can do with Tim being the most kidnappable vigilantr that people want to kidnap because they wanna protect it

The Waltz's World AU is so very dear to me. Gods, I love it so much.

As far as your additions, I agree. The amount of angst you could squeeze out of Tim's form is tremendous (between continuously being treated as a replacement/stand-in for someone else [and not being precious because of itself], and the misgendering. Poor fucking Tim).

I also really like the addition you added of Tim's magic trying to protect it so there's the added illusion on top of Red Hood. I wonder what repercussions Tim faced due to that last spurt of desperation from its magic.

Red Robin is trying to mind its own business and then out of towners keep trying to capture/kill it due to "brainwashing." Damn. Can it catch a break?

Also, I'm curious if Tim would feel most comfortable around Solomon Grundy. At the very least, he wouldn't try to use Tim as a stand-in (depending on Grundy's characterization).

[sweetlikehoneystingslikeabee]

Can I ask for a ranking of which rogues have the most to least rizz (ability to flirt) and why?

"The Rizz" General Rogues Party

OKAY. Best flirters to Worst! Note that a several of the middle people are same-ish in my mind so take solid rankings with a grain of salt.

Tw: Mentions of crimes such as drugging, hypnotism, etc. One suggestive line.

Poison Ivy- Before being poisoned by her colleague/boss, Pamela was incredibly shy and socially awkward. The poisons and toxins injected into her body did something... peculiar. She became an expert in knowing exactly what to say to ease into people's minds. That plus the chemicals she can leak out as an aphrodisiac, it doesn't take much to pull someone to her embrace.

Ra's Al Ghul- He's been around the metaphorical block so many times. He has the charm, the wit, the looks- It's probably a good thing he's so invested in his own plans and less on romance, or he'd be sweeping people off their feet right and left. His powers of seduction would be unreal.

Mr. Freeze- Okay, hear me out. You hardly see the game because he's so in love with Nora. That and the genuine trauma and angst of his whole backstory. However, he is a romantic man and knows the meaning of a gesture. If he was able to find room in his heart for another, they would know the what real devotion felt like.

Riddler- The main reason he's considered good at flirting is that silver tongue. He has the intelligence and grand vocabulary to charm the pants off of someone. His big issue comes down to him being so fucking arrogant and smug. If you ignore that, though, and embrace any awkwardness that he shows... he's still on the end of good flirter.

Killer Croc- Honestly? He's average. He's not bad at flirting but he's not particularly great, either. The real problem for him tends to be past anger issues flaring up which is very not sexy.

The Penguin- He's not the worst at flirting but he's decidedly below average. He doesn't have the best table manners, sometimes he can be rather crass and he's used to having to buy things to get them. Like "people" and "affection", for example.

Harley Quinn- She's her own brand of flirting which can be very hit or miss. You love it or hate it. It's goofy, in your face and sometimes she takes it that step too far. It's needy. As confident as she is, there's still this gnawing desperate need for the approval of people she likes.

Two-Face- The unfortunate thing about Two-Face... Harvey is all schoolboy loveliness, considerate, and caring. Harv is adrenaline rush, passion and "showing you a good time." While they're technically good at flirting, having both styles in one person and sometimes back to back can be disorienting, particularly if one puts you off.

Mad Hatter- Listen, it's not that he doesn't know how to flirt. He knows how to court someone and make them feel special. If he's lucid, he can have the most stimulating conversations. The problem is that he tends to make most romantic interactions incredibly creepy. That's leaving out the drugging, hypnotism, and abduction habits.

Bane- It's not that he can't flirt with someone he's comfortable with, but just meeting someone? He's blunt, calculating and sometimes even smug. Growing up in a prison didn't do a lot for his social skills, particularly soft, intimate ones. Logically he knows what to do and might even be able to play at it if he wanted, but really a lot of his genuine rizz wouldn't come out until later on in a relationship.

Scarecrow- For all his intelligence and capacity for witty wordplay, flirting is not this man's game. He is bristly and a lot of his ideas of romance is very macabre metaphors of fear and death. For some people that works and for others it's just way too intense. That, and he's just arrogant enough that if someone doesn't get his gestures, he writes it off as them being the problem.

Black Mask- Anger issues, entitlement, gruff as hell, and has enough of that rich douchebag in him still that he thinks negging is a valid form of flirting. The sex is hot as hell, though.

Zsasz - Anything he thinks is romantic or even sexy flirty is going to be obscenely sleazy and/or threatening. At one point he used to be charming which eased his path to the criminal life. Now he'll make gestures that are not only creepy, but zero grace or finesse behind it.

Ok I'm thinking child reader maybe about like 8-10 years old helps them and thinks they are nice and the rouge is nice to them aswell. Untill on day when the reader stops by for there daily little talk and they end up getting arrested by the Batman and the reader is just heartbroken

( maybe them finding the reader like a couple years later. But that's if you wanna right that)

( maybe Mr freeze , the riddler , scarecrow , two face , and Jervis tech )

Did I just put out CONTENT? WOWZA. It's been 84 years. Some will have the time jump and others won't but I hope you like it! 🥰

The Riddler: "Mr Riddler! Mr Riddler!" You rushed up to him and his friend you had never seen before. "Oh, its you." Edward acknowledged. You clung to Edward's wrist to try and keep up. "What are you doing here today?" You looked up at him. "Watching imminent failure." He replied with a chuckle. "Whats a immi-" You were cut off by the Riddler's friend who turned on his heel making you jump. You had seen a lot of scarred individuals but never one so severe as that man. "You know what, Nygma? How about you go and fu-" Was the last thing you heard before two hands clamped over your ears. You looked up to see Edward with a rather bored expression, covering your ears and making the man's voice muffled into coherent angry mumbles. Edward's eyes shifted towards you and he cracked a smile. Finally, he released your head. "Honestly Harvey and in front of the children too." Edward tutted with a taunting smirk.

"Get off me you simple airhead! Mindless drones! Release me!" The Riddler yelled as he was cuffed. He struggled against the Batman until he caught sight of you. You hugged your father's side, eyes wide as you watched him. The Riddler's jaw clenched before he turned away. He often preached how the truth was under an oblivious Gotham's nose but this time he took no pleasure in you discovering the truth.

Fifteen years later and Edward couldn't help but smile at the nurse who stood before him. He sat with Two-Face and Scarecrow. "What?" The nurse smiled, slightly amused. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Edward hummed and leaned his head against his hand, propped up by the table. "You think I wouldn't recognise my little friend? You're all grown up now." Edward smirked. "Well it has been a while, puzzle man." You reply warmly.

Mister Freeze: Today had to be one of the hottest days in Gotham and Victor was more than eager to get back into the cold. You however caught sight of him and as always insisted on saying hello to him. Victor always humoured you and had asked what you were doing. "Drawing!" You replied. "I made this for you!" You thrust a piece of paper towards him as he gingerly took the paper in his gloved hand. "Thank you." Victor replied quietly. Nora would have loved you. He noticed your pout at the stairs "What is wrong?" He asked. You held out your cup with a frown. "I left it on the step to finish my drawing but it's warm now." You complained. "Give it...here." Victor requested and you passed the cup to him. He pulled out a tube in his arm, shuddering as he did so. With an immediate WHOOSH, the contents in the cup began to freeze. After a couple of seconds, Victor reattached the tube in his arm. "Let it sit for a little in the sun...don't bite it. You'll break your teeth." He passed the cup back to you, your drink now a frozen treat. "Thank you, Mister Freeze!" You smiled cheerfully.

As a child, you told the story of the heartbroken iceman. The world didn't appreciate him and they tucked him away into the cold and the dark, lights blaring red and blue. His fate to he lost like his wife before.

Victor noticed the painting in the art Gallery. It was different to the others, dark yet had the brightest shades of blues. Although it was the note left. The painting was called 'A Timeless Love' painted with shades of blues and greys. A fire red rose in the middle. In the corner of the painting was a message. 'For Nora when her happy ending thaws.' Victor had only mentioned Nora by name a couple of times and to know you still remembered it after all these years. As for his story, Victor assumed you had done some research since. He never knew you by name but remembered the child he told the story of his wife to. The only person he did and that child would be all grown up now.

Scarecrow: Bullying was unfortunately common, and with every year, it seemed those affected get younger and younger. Jonathan knew children could be cruel but wasn't going to stand by and watch as you were pushed to the ground. A boy standing over you and getting ready to throw a nasty punch. Jonathan was quicker, and the other children clambered back. Jonathan grabbed the boy and threw him off of you, much too hard for any child. The boy yelped the heels of his hands and knees skinned. "Do that to them again, and I'll..." Jonathan grabbed the boy by the shirt and whispered in his ear. After a few seconds, the boy cried and pulled away from Jonathan sharply, tears spilling. "Now scram!" Jonathan bellowed at the children who all shrieked and scattered. Jonathan turned back to you and smiled slightly. "Hello, (Y/N)." He reached for your hand and pulled you up as you mumbled your own greeting. "Those mean boys hassling you again?" Jonathan asked as he dusted you off, and you nodded. He bent to your level. "Boys are mean, little (Y/N). You want them to leave you alone." He began and moved your hand into a fist. Pull back and punch them hard in the throat. Understand?" Slowly, you nod, and he grinned. "Hit them in the throat!"

The next you time you saw the Scarecrow was a news report about his arrest. Your parents looked nauseous when you mentioned that was the man who helped you and your friend.

Scarecrow had no idea why this armed guard was grinning at him. They didn't even seem to fear him. They greeted him like an old friend no matter how coldly he spoke to them. Until the guard said something very familiar. "You know an old friend once told me that boys can get really mean and when they do you just gotta punch them in the throat. Best advice I've ever gotten and it still helps me to this day." The guard smiled and Jonathan paused. That was familiar. He looked at the guard in disbelief. That little kid was all grown up now. Even if still very young in his eyes. "You..." Scarecrow said with disbelief. "I'll take you back to your cell, Crane." You smiled warmly. "Some of us still see the human in you."

Two-Face: "Mr Two-Face!" You ran up to him, taking his unscathed hand. "Hey, kid." He replied gruffly. You moved to stand in his way but he quickly tugged you back to his side where his scars couldn't be seen. "You know the rules- you stay on that side." Harvey mumbled. "What are you doing here Mr Two-Face?" You asked eagerly. "Just passing through, kid." Harv'replied. "We had some business to deal with." You caught a glimpse of something in his hand. "What's that?" You tried to peek around him at his other hand which he quickly hid from your view. "Never mind that!" He replied gruffly. "You being good?" You nod frantically. "Yeah!" "Good." He nodded.

You were there when Two-Face was arrested for his latest bank heist. He turned his head catching sight of you, revealing his scarred side. You try to hold in a gasp. It was gruesome for any kid to see. Seeing you had him silent for a moment before he turned away coldly.

Mad Hatter: The temperature began to drop as the season changed. You came from a poor family and so the only solution to the cold was a limited time outside and a hot meal when you were home. In the summer you were allowed out all day long but in the oncoming winter days, you were only allowed out for two hours at most. Just as you were considering going home, the cold getting intolerable, a familiar face headed down the street. "Mr Tetch!" You rushed up to meet him. Jervis jumped before blinking at you in surprise. "Why good evening my young friend!" He grinned. You shivered as the wind blew and Jervis' smile faltered. "You must be cold with such a whimsy jacket!" "I'm okay. I'm going to head home soon." You replied. "Regardless! The time now calls for hats, scarves and gloves, my young friend! It shall not be forgiving if you forget!" Jervis persisted. You shook your head. "I don't have those, sir." You crossed your arms, hugging yourself. Jervis was silent for a moment before he pulled at his scarf. He bent to your level and wrapped it around you. "That won't do! No, not one bit! Here, take mine!" "That's very nice of you, sir." You relaxed, feeling the warmth Jervis had emitted to the scarf. It was enough to slow the effects of the cold. "I have plenty more! Now run along home, my friend!"

Jervis' arrest was very confusing for a child to see but as you got older, you understood better. He wasn't well. He had held a woman hostage, believing she was Alice from Alice in Wonderland. The same woman you saw wrapped in a blanket, sobbing as the police took her out of a nearby basement just a few houses down. The abandoned house specifically. He didn't notice as he rambled incoherently that you were there. A tear rolling down your face.

Finnie do you agree all Gotham rogues should have their whole body worshipped like a holy figure

yes! and i finally found the time to tell you the order in which i am going to suck off heal wounds with love and adoration (and also i did't know if you meant gotham tv show or just gotham in general so i've just gone general because honestly a lot of the ones in the tv show need a smack on the head and a time out more than worship)

riddler: absolute loser, needs someone to pet him on the head and tell him continuously what a very good boy he is, someone on their knees for him, telling him how absolutely marvellous he is, a fine specimen, the finest

two face: look i have said it before and i'll say it again but harvey deserves to have his face cradled between both my hands and told that he's a good, good handsome boy, make him feel whole instead of two parts y'know?

scarecrow: can you reverse the gremlin-ification process and turn someone back into a mogwai? anyway that's what i'm hoping to achieve here

harley: ok someone needs to start worshipping at her feet, and like yeah i'm all about that, wanna caress every inch of her but also, wanna tell her how intelligent she is, let me get you back on track babygirl

mad hatter: i'm worried about him crumbling at the slightest touch of someone, but i'm running at him and tackling his tiny body into the ground and putting a soft kiss on every bit EVERY. BIT.

bane: a controversial addition so far down the list i feel, but i think he would deny the need to be worshipped like that. he seems like a giver rather than a taker

penguin: i think oswald deserves it but i don't think he needs it. he's fine, he could have anyone hang onto his lil round body and tell him he's cute, he doesn't need me

killer croc: am i about to make my less-than-triumphant return to regular writing with the addition of waylon on my list? probably oops. but i think he needs to know how absolutely sexy he is, wanna scritch those scales!!

mr. freeze: boy needs a hug and a frozen blanket. will he let me? probably not, not if he still has nora on ice, so he's down the list here

victor zsasz: sometimes i think too much self-confidence can be a bad thing, and as much as i want to kiss all of his little tally marks and maybe even get real kinky and add some, i think it'd just make him worse

poison ivy: if i told ivy i thought she was beautiful she would say "i know" and then crush me, and i would die happily for sure, but i'd still die and i'm having fun just now so not on my agenda

So......did you know that TMNT exists in the same universe as Batman...? Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles circa 2019 as a reference here.

But how is it that Batman has never come across the Shredder or the Foot clan before, (or the turtles coming across Joker) even though they both exist in New York? And yes, I know that fact is heavily debated, but you cannot convince me that Gotham is NOT part of New York.

And yeah, sure, the turtles are mostly New Hampshire and/or possibly Brooklyn, but still.....they should have at least had some knowledge of each other's existence.

It's been established that there are different variants of the mutagen that created the turtles, so what if it was a lesser variation of the mutagen that created the Joker or Scarecrow in Batman's territory? Scarecrow was a doctor/scientist, right? Who's to say he didn't work for a seperate faction of TGRI They were a big enough company, they would have branched out to surrounding cities or pharmaceutical companies! Even Freeze would have likely been involved with something like that as a potential means of curing Nora....

In my mind there is zero possibility that Batman and TMNT could exist in the same timeline, in the same universe, and *not* have crossed paths more often, yet the individual TV shows never mention it even once?

[batmanrogues-scenarios]

I really like headcanons about Dragon! S/O. Can I ask for a second part with the same characters? (Riddler, Scarecrow, Mr Freeze, Black Mask). As we know, dragons have a strong connection with magic and have a long lifespan. What if a Dragon! S/O ever thinks about the big difference in life expectancy between dragons and humans? After that, Dragon! S/O will give an idea to create a connection between them, which will significantly increase the lifetime of Rogue, and they will be able to be together after a really long period of time. Dragons can only agree to create such a connection with those who are really important to them. How will Rogue react to this and will he be ready to accept it?

Ah fan of fantasy tropes I see.

Riddler

More time to show off his genius and outlive the Batman? Sign him up!

Finds it exciting that S/O loves him so much they want to make him live longer

Would think it shows his superiority, he managed to cheat death

Scarecrow

That's suprised him

They feel so strongly about him they want to make him live longer?

What if they won't be together forever?

Starts to distance himself to think it over

In the end he agrees

Black Mask

They telling him this now?

Is all on board with ruling Gotham longer, especially after Batman dies

Has no problems with it, he's all theirs

Mr Freeze

Reluctant

The fact that they want to have as much time with as they could is touching, he is technically doing the same with Nora

And that's the problem

It might give him more time to find cure for her but at the same time if he does Nora will live her normal lifespan

And he will again lose her

He doesn't want to choose between them

Needs to know if it's can affect Nora

Gotham Rogues’ Favorite Christmas/Winter Activities and Headcanons

some thoughts and ideas on what some of the rogues like or would do for fun during the holidays/wintertime!

Note: Mentions of wounds/scars and childhood trauma

Joker: Making obscene snowmen and snowball fights. He doesn’t like to admit it’s fun, he insists it’s only to make a point, but you’ll catch him making snowmen in compromising positions or being maimed all over Gotham. His face shows he’s deep in concentration when he’s making a snowman, but the best sight will be the small smile that graces his grin when he catches a snowflake on his tongue. Is also notorious for throwing snowballs at other Rogues when they least expect it.

Riddler: Loves going to see Christmas lights. He’s hitting you with trivia the entire time, too. He likes the intricate science behind the lights, the work that goes into them creating images or going along with music. He indeed sets up a Christmas display at his hideout and yes, it is the best out of all the Rogues. He’s the best at wrapping gifts and Christmas cards because he likes to make games out of them.

Two-Face: Actually really likes just staying inside and watching movies. The cold irritates his scarred side too much so he has to lotion up and wear long sleeves, sweats, and fuzzy socks. He throws on the humidifier and puts on his favorite movie which is The Grinch (just a bad guy trying to do some good). Winter is the perfect weather for soup which is the easiest thing for him to eat since it doesn’t require chewing and won’t mess with his exposed teeth. Super thankful for the Gotham equivalent of UberEats and Doordash.

Harley Quinn: Loves to make gingerbread houses and she’s really good at them! She gifts the other rogues houses that resemble them and their hideouts. She adds silly little details like a cookie that looks like Two-Face’s coin or one shaped like Batman falling into acid for Joker. Penguin was very impressed with her house made to look like the Iceberg Lounge. She did some sugar work to get the dance floor and glass fixtures just right.

Poison Ivy: Christmas is a rough for Pam since it’s plants being unalived left and right, not to mention all the trees being cut for firewood and to be used as decorations. She does enjoy ice skating though. She isn’t very good at it so she often prefers to go it alone. Harley insists they do it together because it’s more fun with friends. Harley holds Pam’s hand and assures her that not being good at it is nothing to be ashamed of. She didn’t learn her acrobat tricks without a little practice!

Scarecrow: He’s a simple man. He likes to start up the fireplace, cozy up with a good book, and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate. He loves watching the snow; how still the world is. There’s an eeriness to the weather that he loves. He and Edward swap book recommendations especially when the weather is particularly bad and they can't leave their hideout.

Penguin: He is out and about more often this time of year than any other; he loves it! His Iceberg Lounge is actually busier this time of year as well. He’s in a great mood this time of year and during the holidays is extremely generous. The Rogues enjoy visiting his lounge once a week for a free round of drinks. He enjoys giving presents to his fellow Rogues on Christmas.

Mr. Freeze: Hardly anyone sees Victor since he’s always working and is spending as much time as he can with Nora (while she’s on ice). During the coldest days of Gotham he does step out of his suit. He loves getting to feel the wind on his cheeks and being able to see with his own eyes rather than through his suit. He makes ice sculptures too. He’s taken up a hobby when he isn’t working and he gets to use the city as his canvas. Citizens are sure to spot the romantic sculptures around the city.

Black Mask: A total scrooge. People expecting gifts? A gift from him is not killing you. Christmas and this time of year reminds him too much of his childhood; his parents forgetting him while they went out to Christmas parties, watching other kids get gifts from their parents while he was lucky if his own even remembered he existed. Thankfully, Harvey knows what having a difficult parent(s) is like and he always extends an invite for Roman to come over and binge those Christmas baking shows while they eat pizza. Reluctantly will admit that he really loves peppermint and he’s addicted to candy canes.

dark oc ask 14 for... dork squad + mr freeze

ok So for Mr. Freeze it's Running up that hill by Placebo, due to the lyrics relating to his situation with his wife Nora (for dork squad I assume you mean either the journalist bois or the mad scientists gremlins) Riddler has like 3: A Good song never dies, Ave Maria, and Laplace's Angel (for the line "Am I bad, am I bad, am I really that bad?") scarecrow has....4: Mind Electric(he shares this with hugo strange), Aleph(due to it being a spooky song that would match his experiments with fear), Mad world(bc sumn wrong with em), and its a sin(bc he's definitely not supposed to be using arkham patients as guinea pigs) for Joker I can only think of 2, that being 2nd 2ight 2eer and closer because of his infatuation with the bat Jervis only has one (and he's lucky he even gets that): El tango de Roxanne(due to him being an overdramatic hopeless romantic lil bitch
