My redesign of Jervis Tetch: The Mad Hatter.

Cheetah (a.k.a) Barbara Ann Minerva

I’m currently writing an Elseworld’s Batman story set in the 1870s wild west. Bruce Wayne comes to Gotham, a seaside town ravaged with crime and gang violence. The worst criminal of them all is The Laughing Man, a flamboyant psychopath who loves violence & art. He also leads the most violent gang in Gotham. When he runs into Bruce in his “Black Bat” persona, he’s enamored with this freak who dresses in a ridiculous costume and punches criminals in the face. He now has a new trajectory: find a way to spend time with this weirdo. 

Batman: The Deranged Detective - Voice Cast

While investigating a medicine robbery from Arkham Asylum, Renee Montoya suddenly loses her mind and destroys all of the evidence she’d gathered. She then goes on a terrifying rampage towards the GCPD in order to destroy the hard drives stored there. After she’s stopped by the combined efforts of Batman & The Jokester, the two investigate her apartment in order to find out what made her go cuckoo. During their search of Renee’s apartment, they manage to uncover a solved rubix cube on her desk. After a quick scan, Bruce discovers that it had been solved the day she went crazy. The next day at Wayne Enterprises, Bruce winds up getting a chinese puzzle box mailed to his office. Suddenly, Bruce went crazy and started tearing up his office, destroying his computer and everything on his desk, laughing like a madman and babbling incoherent nonsense. He and Renee were then committed to Arkham Asylum for psychological analysis. Now it’s up to Jokester and Batgirl to figure out what happened to Bruce. It turns out that the mastermind is actually Dr. Byron Meredith (a.k.a) the Merrymaker. His plan was to inject the chemicals he stole into his fellow doctors and drive them insane, all in a revenge plot against the people who fired him for his extreme research into the minds of Joker worshippers. After that, he’d become the new head doctor of Arkham Asylum under the false identity of Dr. Merion Brydeth.

My Redesign of Harvey (Two-Face) Dent.

Big Head/The Mask

I recently began reading The Mask Comics series and fell in love with it. It inspired me to draw the titular character, fusing aspects of both the movie and comic design. 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?

"Gotham, are you out there? If you're just tuning in, allow me to introduce myself.......... This is RIDDLER RADIO, and I have a question for you, Gotham. When is a killer not a killer?"

It's almost ready.....
