“Who wants to shake hands with the skeleton?”

[randomnoteforfuturereference]

Creature Commandos shows us that frequently "regular humans" are not only the real monsters but are monsters that we see in real life. Be they incel militias, neonazis, or corrupt CEOs.

Just as important is that it shows us the humanity of those monsters.

Sam Fitzgibbon was a neonazi who implicitly wanted to make a "better country" by turbocharging white supremacy by violent insurrection. He also struck a genuine companionship with G.I. Robot and cared for his cats.

Rupert Thorne had no problem selling to brutal dictators, and he had no problem not only killing Alex's family but mocking him in front of their bodies. He was also a loving father to his kids.

Those monsters can be just like you.

And in many ways, that makes them all the more reprehensible.

more Batman Caped Crusader paper cut-outs

[ski0k]

it’s funny because I remember seeing doctor phosphorus in one of the timmverse shows from the early 00s but couldn't for the life of me remember which show specifically and for whatever reason remembered him as a superman villain and in my state of oblivion stuck with that as fact even AFTER being shown his backstory that literally has mob violence as the central theme and even recognizing rupert thorne as one of gotham's mob bosses

so imagine my surprise when this guy randomly pops up on screen

I literally went, "oh... yeah... it makes much more sense that you're a batman villain"

[hornedtussock]

I've been obsessing over the Batman villains and Epic the musical and I really want to rant about what my vision is

So my basic rundown of characters are:

-

Odysseus: Two-Face/Harvey Dent

Penelope: Gilda

Athena: Batman/Bruce

Telemachus: Robin/Dick

Eurylochus: Riddler/Edward E. Nygma

Polites: N/A

Aeolus: Harley Quinn

Poseidon: Rupert Thorne

Circie: Clayface/Matt Hagen

The nymphs: Calendar Girl + Baby Doll

Hermes: Mad Hatter/Jervis Tetch

Tiresias: Scarecrow (Specifically the Corpsecrow design)/Jonathan Crane

The Sirens: N/A

Scylla: Poison Ivy/Pamela Isley

Zeus: Etrigan the Demon/Jason Blood

The Suitors: Random henchman

Apollo: The Penguin/Oswald Cobblepot

Hephaestus: Mr. Freeze/Dr. Victor Fries

Aphrodite: Catwoman/Selina Kyle

Ares: Bane/Eduardo Dorrance

Hera: N/A

Calypso: Joker??? Still N/A

I'm still trying to figure out who could go where but I'm pretty sure of who is who, like Mad Hatter is 100% Hermes and ClayFace is Circie. But depending on what I try to figure out for the ones I don't know some things will move around for certain characters.

But the basic premise I have is Two-Face and other villains go out to fight another group of villains, and they win obvi and "Just a Man" plays out, then they leave. They do arrive back at Gotham, but they keep getting turned around and such and such. Batman is secretly watching over Two-Face and then the Polymethous Saga where instead of the Cyclops, it's a group of goons that try to eliminate the group. So that goes about and then Bruce just dips out. Boom, the Ocean Saga and Harley Quinn gives Two-Face a gag bag that is basically an industrial fan in a bag and all they have to do is not open this bag. Riddler opens the bag, whoops. Then Rupert Thorne shows up and is like "Hey, remember that group of goons you tortured? Yeah, those were mine- soooooo, say goodbye to most of your group" Then Two-Face goes "Gotta open the bag gang" and they get blown away to the old movie studio lot where uh oh! Clayface gonna make the rest of their group into statues for the time being cause uuhhh- trauma. Anyway Two-Face goes to get them back and Mad Hatter pops out of the shadows and is like "Hey fam, take this little device I made to trick that guy so you might not die tee-hee okay byeeee!!!" *insert epic wonderland x wouldn't you like animatic* Then Two-Face and Clayface have their debacle and then it's like "MR. HAGEN PLEASE LET US GO HOME I WANNA SEE MY WIFE :(((" " *sigh* Fine ig, but I can't get you home dude, gotta find this guy that can do spooky stuff that can help you, I can get you there though" "okay chill, can I get my group back now?" "... UUGGGHHHHH fine" Yay, everyone is okay, kinda. They then go to Scarecrows lair and travel through his fear gas for a bit. Two-Face then finds him and Scarecrow goes "So everything is gonna go poorly for you but I'm gonna be super cryptic about it so you get confused and leave me alone" After that, Two-Face is the monster raw raw raw, and then they encounter the sirens while going back and he's like "I'm tired of being chill, gonna lose it for a bit" and then they're dead. Now they gotta go through a giant garden as a short cut and who's in that garden? Yep, Ivy, and 6 villains get taken away for fertilizer just cause she needs it. Then Riddler's like "Dent wtf?? Why did you do that?" "Edward, I just wanna go home, I didn't want to do it, but I wanna see Gilda." He's then knocked out and then he wakes up to his group finding those oversized cows from the one episode of the New Batman Adventures and it's all downhill from there.

(I'm out of motivation to finish this but just imagine everything EXCEPT FROM THAT PART OF HOLD THEM DOWN that happens in Epic from there but with the villains and such and such) [I'm so tired]

My thoughts on Batman Caped Crusader

Ok finished all 10 episodes of Batman Caped Crusader. Good cartoon but its not without flaws. Visually speaking its a great successor to Batman the Animated Series. The supporting cast is fantastic. I love this version of Harley. Way more sinister compared to her other counterparts.

The setting specifically setting it in the 1930s really helps it stand out from other Batman media. I really did not like how flat Hamish Linkletters Batman was. His Batman voice didnt really have any personality to it. Bruce is really cold towards Alfred in this. Its kinda off putting honestly.

Like it gets better towards the end but initially its very jarring to see. I do wish we got to spend more time with Bruce/Batman. The show is really trying hard to focus on multiple characters that you dont really get to know them that well. For example Harvey Dent is set up in the first episode and we know where his fate ends up, but its just that we dont get a lot of time seeing that build up so when it happens and what happens at episode 10 its like whatever.

Not to end on a bad note for this but I did enjoy episode 7 for the fun references IYKYK.

Usually I’m against killing kids but like… Rupert killed Phosphorus’ wife and child. It’s only fair that he kills Rupert’s family. Sorry to those kids but your daddy was a murderer who liked to kill other peoples families. The glowing skeleton man was just getting vengeance.

Batman: Caped Crusader 1x08 - Nocturne

Toxic Love

A toxic relationship like the one the Joker and Harley would have, the difference is that here these two would be independent.

That means that if Oswalda has to kill ten of Thorne's men to get what she wants, she will, and vice versa. The only ones immune are them, as well as Matthew and maybe...Ronald.

And nope, I have no arguments for this ship, beyond this single interaction:

I tried watching Vendetta, the btas episode featuring Killer Croc. The animation wasn't bad, but I couldn't watch it. When Batman used Rupert Thorne as a human shield and then left him dangling 50 feet in the air from a bungee cord, I was done. I actually yelled the F word at my tv because I was so angry. Rupert Thorne is a mobster, but he was just gardening when you decided to threaten to virtually kill him! You don't get to kidnap someone and leave them 50 feet in the air, you bat freak! Also real rich that batman doubts Harvey Bullock. Bullock is the one cop we see actively dislikes batman, and he's the one batman judges? Of fucking course! The writers for this show made a sick criminal vigilante, and i'm not supposed to be on bullock's side!? I hate it!

Robin Year 1:Arkham Shadow sequel idea

So with the success of Arkham Shadow and the direction of Dick's evolution to becoming Robin. This is what I'd like to see as a sequel. Basically Robin's Reckoning meets The Long Halloween/Dark Victory.

it's a war between Falcone, Maroni and Thorne and all the while Holiday and the Hang Man are working together to clean house. And Zucco is working as Falcone's Capo and this causes Dick to get vengeful and results in Bruce stepping in and talking Dick out of killing him. Maybe Bruce goes to Blackgate and forgives Chill to try and get Dick to spare Zucco? So many ways you can handle this tbh

Alberto was already teased in Arkham Origins and given the recent surge in popularity The Penguin gave Sofia, I think it would be neat to see the siblings work together. Only this time Sofia is actually live up to the name "Gigante" and Catwoman could play into things given her origin.

We could even see Harvey reemerge as Two-Face and Dick reconciles with his past as a Rat.

Not only Harvey, but Gilda returns as Holiday as well and helps Two-Face in his crimespree.

Inspired by this fanart

Maybe you could have Grace be Gilda's twin sister. She's the good one, trying to appeal to his Harvey side, while Gilda embraces Harvey's Two-Face persona. Basically pulling a Two Of A Kind

Rupert Thorne: *Cocks a gun*

Two-Face: *Cocks 2 guns*

Penguin: *Cocks an umbrella*

Joker: *Cocks a rubber chicken*

Croc: ... ... ehhhh *Cocks his hand*

Back once again with another animated dc movie review. This time with the somewhat forgotten Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman. The 4th film in the DC Animated Universe. Just because this one doesn’t get talked about all that much. Does that make it good or bad? Watch the video to hear more of my thoughts on this movie.
