My Redesign Of Oswald Loomis: The Prankster

Batman Beyond - Cast

Set in 2065, a rebellious high schooler named Terry McGinnis’ life changes forever the day he meets Bruce Wayne. Discovering Bruce Wayne was Batman, he steals the new Batsuit and uses it to get revenge on his father’s killer. Meanwhile, Terry’s girlfriend’s deranged brother Doug Tan (a.k.a. Joker King) has secretly become a tyrannical cult leader and is rallying all of the Jokerz (crazy teens who dress up as clowns and cause chaos) together and instructing them to blow themselves up in order to destroy Neo-Gotham in the name of The Joker. Having no choice, Bruce and Terry reluctantly work together to stop the chaos and save Gotham from the Joker King’s madness.

Justice League: Injustice - Cast (Part 1)

Set 1 year after Superman and Batman joined together to form the Justice League, Lex Luthor decides to even the playing field by forming a league of his own. He thus travels across the world, offering a spot to any of the super-villains on the FBI's most wanted list. He winds up recruiting The Joker, Reverse Flash, Cheetah, Black Manta, Dr. Poison & Scarecrow. Together, the legion plans to take out the Justice League and rule the world (of course). Each of them has a vital part in Lex's master plan to destroy, or at least disgrace the Justice League. Using Reverse Flash's speed, they're able to gain access to the Batcave, and manage to acquire Batman's files on the Justice League, containing everything from strengths to weaknesses.

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?

"There is a four digit number in which the first digit is one fourth of the last digit, the second digit is 6 times the first digit, and the third digit is the second digit plus 3. What is it?"

"When may a man's coat pocket be empty and yet have something in it?"

"Never resting, never still. Moving silently from hill to hill. It does not walk, run or trot, All is cool where it is not. What is it?"

"The more of me you take, the more you leave behind. What am I?"

RYUKO

Akira and Fujiko are the two latest descendants of the Fukuhara family, a generation of Japanese warriors that stretch back to the 1500s. Akira was the one who was the most dedicated to being the newest warrior in their family line, dedicated to learning the ways of Bushido, that being a warrior who has inner peace and being zen and stuff. Fujiko didn’t care about stuff like that, as she was the resident female dog of the family. She went out partying till the break of dawn and couldn’t bother with manners. Eventually, Akira was told the legend of the Swords of Order and Chaos. Thought to have been created by the gods, these two swords were so sharp, one could slice a building in half with a single slice. If the swords are brought together, they are said to be able to destroy the world. When Akira was in her mid-20s, she discovered her family was actually a yakuza crime family, and her sister was the one who had been shown the truth a while ago. Akira refused to be a part of a family that exploited and killed people without remorse, and she confronted her father about it, which ended with a fight between the two that resulted in her father’s death when he accidentally fell out of the window. Enraged, Fujiko tried to kill her sister, thinking that she was the one that killed her father. The fight ended with the manor burning down and Akira escaping with the Sword of Order. Akira then left and dedicated her life to dismantling her family’s web of crime. Using the sword of Order, she began to fight crime on the streets of New Tokyo.

Arkham Asylum: Kingdom Of Madness - Joker

After the inmates are freed from their cells and start a riot in Arkham Asylum, Batman has to journey in and resolve the chaos. To take back the asylum and save the guards and doctors taken hostage, Batman has to fight off a lot of his villains. He has to fight Poison Ivy in the Greenhouse, Scarecrow in the Medical Wing, Mad hatter in the Cafeteria, Two-Face in the Security Wing, and The Joker in the Movie Theater, where Joker dresses in drag and sings "I'm A Sweet Transvestite" from Rocky Horror Picture Show. However, it's revealed that the person who set the inmates free is none other than the head doctor, Hugo Strange. Hugo is revealed to be a complete nut case who's obsessed with Batman, and his plan was to see how he's able to defeat his rogues gallery. Revealing he's figured out who Batman is, his ultimate goal is to replace Batman, planning on trapping him inside Arkham Asylum. He'd then taking up the mantle of Batman, thinking that he'd be a better Batman than Bruce ever was.

In this story, Joker naturally wouldn't have his costume since he's still in Arkham. In order to compensate with his stylish personality, he steals his doctor's blue trench coat, pink scarf, and red heels. He then slits her throat and paints his face and nails with her blood. I based the design off of Nica Pierce's final look in Cult Of Chucky.
