I just wanted to draw V from V for Vendetta, though I chose to stick closer to the graphic novel design instead of the movie. How does it look?

ANARKY (Beware The Batman)
This is my own redraw of Anarky from the "Beware The Batman" cartoon. While I know everyone has their own opinions on the show (or don't know it exists), I will admit that it has always been one of my favorite Batman shows. One of the most polarizing things about the show is its inclusion of obscure Batman villains like Professor Pyg & Magpie and using them as placeholders for the primary Batman villains. And though I certainly am one to be critical of vast departures in comic-to-screen adaptations, I am willing to forgive certain decisions if they make sense or at least have good reasoning. Case in point: The show's depiction of Anarky.
I will admit that this is kind of a terrible Anarky. He's not a politically conscious teenage anti-hero/anti-villain who masquerades as an adult to further his political rebellion and has an on/off relationship with the Bat Family. Instead, he's basically the show's answer to The Joker. And while I normally wouldn't be so forgiving of such a change to a character that I like and respect, I am willing to accept it if what they make is at least good. And while this isn't a good Anarky, IT IS A GREAT VILLAIN. One thing I like so much about this Anarky is that they basically made him the "Anti-Batman". He dresses in a nearly accurate costume to Batman's, save for it having a hood, an "A" as its symbol, and being entirely white. He even has similar gadgets, though made to kill people as opposed to Batman's non-lethal gadgets. He's also a master combatant who can hold his own against Batman (He was basically the proto Nemesis). I also like how they use him as a Joker placeholder while still making him his own character. Instead of being a maniacal mass-murdering cartoon villain dressed in a purple tuxedo, he's a much more reserved and calculated mastermind who often manipulates others into unknowingly doing his bidding; like when he tricked Batman and Lady Shiva into nearly unleashing an epidemic or when he teamed up with Harvey Dent to take down Batman, which led to the latter getting scarred and becoming Two-Face. He's also not clown-themed in any way, instead going for more of a Chess theme with him as the "White King" and Batman as the "Black King". I also really like his portrayal by Wallace Langham. Instead of being a very off-the-wall over-the-top hammy performance, he's soft-spoken and mellow, but with hints of malice behind his voice. He kind of sounds like Neil Patrick Harris if he had Schizophrenia. Anarky barely ever loses his cool and hardly ever raises his voice, which adds to his menace.
That's all I have to say really. What are your opinions of "Beware The Batman" or this version of Anarky?
Batman: My Own Worst Enemy - Cast
Batman is contacted by Harvey Dent, saying that he knows about a cure for his evil personality, a chemical compound that could hopefully fix Harvey’s mental state and end Two Face forever. Unfortunately, the compound is five states away, and Batman has no way of taking Harvey along without Two Face interfering. So Batman kidnaps Two Face and hauls him across the country until they get to the cure. The main downside is that Two Face has set up some roadblocks, as he has promised a large cash prize to anyone who stops Batman from making him go away. So now Batman and Robin need to protect Harvey as they’re chased across the country by all manner of money hungry supervillains and desperate civilians.

Made MK1 Clash Poses from Alastor (Hellaverse), The Joker (Heath Ledger X Comics), Green Goblin (Comics), & Wonder Woman (Young Justice). How do they look?
