Frank Gorshin, Anthony Perkins and Davy Jones (of the monkees) are Batman 1966's version of The Riddler, The Scarecrow and The Mad Hatter. I know the '66 show had David Wayne as The Mad Hatter, but he's not that exciting. So David Wayne is the imposter hatter and Davy Jones is the reason Hatter. Really, this is going to stay in my head as the Batman '66 version of these three forever. Frank Gorshin, Anthony Perkins and Davy Jones. I think it'd be a great pairing to have seen on stage together. They all seem like great performers. I think art of The Mad Hatter snd Scarecrow modelled after Davy Jones and Anthony Perkins would be great, honestly.

But Davy Jones had to be the Mad Hatter. Short and British, he even sort of sounds like Peter Macnicol doing The Mad Hatter for the batman arkham games. And also, well, daydream believer sounds like a Mad Hatter song. Soft yet almost ethereal, it's perfect. A batman 66 episode with the mad hatter would have to have that song worked in somehow (even if we just have the hatter humming it).

Steel toe clown shoes. A sledgehammer. A honkable nose. The ideal woman.

Jervis has a lot of feelings. Johnathan wishes all of those feelings were fear.

this is my new therapist. chat, am i fucking dead?

Alice obviously doesn't know what she's talking about. Jervis is clearly a well adjusted, rational, stable individual! Not on the verge of a breakdown or anything! Not upset that she doesn't share his love of escapism or anything! Not thinking about using his technology for selfish purposes or ANYTHING!!

i like to think that the Arkham rec room has little busy work activities for the patients. most of them you could find in an elementary school until Riddler was admitted, then they had to start providing calculus and trig worksheets lol

Don't you hate it when your childhood best friend who was arrested for larceny and murder, yet claims that he's "No longer mentally ill" despite his insatiable need to cosplay a minor character from a children's book written 160 years ago, kidnaps you for an elaborate larp experience, which may or may not include the violent execution of your city's vigilante?

...on that note, anyone wanna hear the Mad Hatter lore from my batman au??

Woe, Jervis be upon ye!

Dr Crane can have a bird mask, as a treat

I wanted to design my own poster for @ask-bat-mite and this is what we ended up with.

Arkham Asylum and its medical practices p1

What practice:

Electrotherapy (ETC) is actually used to treat severe depression, sucidal thoughts/behaviors, bipolar (mania/depression), and schizophrenia (Catonia). This treatment is also sometimes used in Dementia and pregnancy. This is usually used when medication doesn't work, the patient has had ETC before, or the sufferer needs the effects immediately because they can pose a threat (to self or others) in the time it takes the medication to take effect. This is all done with consent of the patient and possibly family.

Usually the patient is given muscle relaxers and asleep (anesthetic) before hand. While they sleep the device is placed on their head and a controlled electric current is used producing a brief brain seizure. The patient usually doesn't remember the producer and is carefully monitored and is repeated three times a week.

Side effects: Temporary confusion, retrograde amnesia, temporary nausea, headache, muscle ache and medical complications.

(www.webmd.com, www.mayoclinic.org, www.mind.org.uk)

How Arkham Asylum is shown using it:

If you've seen/read whatever anything with Arkham Asylum or the inmates chances are this treatment has been show or referenced. This makes sense as ETC is still used today and I'd be lying if I said that none of the inmates need it. However personally I don't think it's shown/done correctly.

The staff apparently missed the part about the patients being asleep during the procedure as patients laughing (Joker) seem to be a common occurrence. Also how Sparks seem to fly while it's happening when that would probably kill or at least fry the brain. Another thing is how the patients are strapped down, something I didn't mention was that the Patient is LAYING DOWN not sitting in a freaking chair!

Arguably Arkham may not even ask the patients for consent (which kinda makes sense it'd be weird to just have a page of a comic having an inmate sign paperwork). Another thing is which rogues get the treatment I'm no doctor/psychologist/ therapist whatever so I can't say if a certain rogue needs it or not.

If I'm seeing this correctly then it makes a lot of sense so many inmates are not getting better and are always eager to escape. Hell I bet Bruce Wayne and Batman have quite a few things to say to the staff at Arkham.

To add:

Sadly whenever it's shown in the Batman universe it looks like it simply feeds into the public opinion of ETC which is a shame because even though it was horrific in the past it's helped so many people today.

At the end all I wanna add is PLEASE do research into this stuff creators you don't need to know everything about but a quick Google search reveals it's not that horrific, at least today! If y'all would like me to discuss another treatment in Arkham please let me know!

Something I want to happen in the DCEU

Arkham Asylum’s infamous hallway of Batman rouges from Batman TAS.

There’s a crawl shot of the hallway and several different camera angles have you get to see who’s in the cells without actually telling you but you’re supposed know by several hints.

The bars or the wall of glass has several things in that hint who occupys each cell.

-A silloute of a coin flipping in the air along with the sound of it landing and slight growling.

-Several green question marks written on the walls and several riddles followed by incoherent mumbling.

-A potted plant, looking Alive and healthy on a small shelf near a bed.

-A top of someone’s hair, which is brown obscured by the cell’s bars or the camera not panning down(for those who prefer the wall of glass) followed by the sound of a page turning in a book.

-A shot of a padded cell with someone in a straight jacket, rocking back and forth. The person’s feet has tally marks on it.

-A glass cell door that lacks airholes. Loud slurping and gurgling noises come from it. The camera isn’t panning down so all you hear is the liquid noises and a shout of “I gotta prepare for my next role.”

-A cell that has sticky notes of the days of the year all over the walls.

-A top hat with a ribbon around it, with a playing card tucked in the ribbon resting on the bed. Followed by mumblings of a white rabbit and finding someone named Alice.

-A cell that’s relatively normal. But there’s a scalpel covered in blood on the bed’s pillow.

-A cell that’s different from the rest in color. The cell is blue, cold blue with several tubes flowing air into it.

-A cell that's​ completely empty. But it has several words written in some sort of purple crayon that say “HAHA” on the walls.

Exactly why do all the other villains get a pass except for the not so popular group? Do you know how many damn times I’ve seen Harley someone who has killed children, gassed people and so many other crimes get a pass, just because she was abused by the Joker? “Oh Harley’s soooo cool! She’s a crazy, lesbian, who loves animals!” If Jervis Tetch doesn’t get a fucking pass because some writers decided “hey let’s make him a pedophile!” Then neither should she. Oh and let’s get to the most important part These are fictional characters with multiple interpretations! Honestly as much as I love dark dark villains, it gets ridiculous when we can’t see them as being light hearted at times without being told it’s wrong. Let fans have there own interpretation of these characters, let us enjoy without constantly being reminded about how “awful” this one writer made him. Besides it seems like no one gives a shit about Jervis till he’s in the dork squad or someone says there a fan.

List of People Batman Probably Shouldn’t Punch or Should at Least Feel Bad About Punching

Roman Sionis AKA Black Mask: Has a pacemaker for his heart condition.

Jonathan Crane AKA The Scarecrow: Underweight, abuse survivor, canonically hypermobile and thus suffers from chronic pain, hypotonic.

Waylon Jones AKA Killer Croc: Abuse survivor, condition causes chronic pain.

Jervis Tetch AKA The Mad Hatter: Small, possibly suffers from a hypoplastic condition.

Pamela Isley AKA Poison Ivy: Abuse survivor, skin is highly toxic, probably suffers chronic pain as a result of her condition.

Garfield Lynns AKA Firefly: Covered in burn scars, scar tissue likely causes chronic pain.

Mad Hatter

His words out of a book, learned by heart. Perhaps he was someone else once, but now he is this being of paper trying to be a person of flesh. The world has one dimension too many in which he doesn’t fit.

There is little to say about his appearance, and what may be said isn’t flattering. His nose is the most remarkable part of him, large and bent. Everything else is forgotten, eyes drawn to his hat. He has many, that he wears for different occasions ; a green bowler hat for dinner, a grey béret for rainy days, a blue top hat for murder, a red tricorne for holidays… His favourite is the top hat.

He makes hats for others as well. Put them on their heads and they turn docile, obedient. The world follows the story better with hats.

He smells like Earl Grey and dust, like he is a forgotten book himself. He’s missing his main character, his Alice, which he looks for in the eyes of all women, in the way they smile and in the words they speak. It takes more than blonde hair to be Alice ; he can always dye the hair. There is an essence that he seeks. An essence he never finds. The women get scared, fail, or grow old ; flesh people, changing and decaying. He curses Time and what it does ! It flows between his fingers like a stream, taking away the Alices. The world moves without him, too fast for him to understand.

It’s always 6 o’clock at his table and in his heart. The quest for an Alice never ends.

I Will Come (Joker x Reader x Avengers)

Summary: You worked with the avengers on a mission to put Joker in Belle Reve Prison. During the mission, you pretended to be Jokers girlfriend in order to get to some personal information. During that period of time, you actually fell in love with the Joker but never told anyone. Once the avengers heard you got everything you needed, they captured joker and took him to Belle Reve Prison. The rest is to be read…!

Warnings: A lot of swearing, violence, bit of abuse

“Oh thank god this mission is FINALLY done!” You said at the meeting. Everyone was exhausted, nobody got a good sleep for a week cause of Joker. “Don’t think the mission is done yet people!” Fury said. All the avengers looked at each other and then looked towards Fury waiting for him to continue. Unlike you who started whining like a baby and hit your head on the desk!

“What do you mean?” Tony questioned. “We put him in Belle Reve and added some of our best S.H.E.I.L.D fighters! What can go wrong?” Bruce exclaimed. “That’s what you think but Joker can escape anything before you know it!” You knew he can. “God dammit! WHYYYY?” You cried out loud. “And guess who he would want to get to first?” The whole room vibrated with your name! “ME? Why me?” You questioned.

“You were the one who was assigned to be his other side in the mission. You pretended to be his girlfriend and the one thing Joker hates is…” “Liars” Tony whisper yelled. “Okay but I told him there actually wasn’t anything between me and him! That everything I ever told him or did towards him was just for this mission!” You replied.

“Why would you say that?” Natasha asked. “I don’t know! I thought it was a good idea at the moment.” You mumbled the last part under your breath. “What else did you say?” Bucky asked. “I maybe told him Iworkforsheild!” You said the last part fast. “What did you say?” Wanda asked again. “OKAY FINE! I TOLD HIM I WORK FOR SHEILD!” You yelled and got out of your chair. Everyone was surprised that you, Y/n, would make such a stupid move! You were kind of panicking now. “What did he say for those things?” Clint questioned. “Okay so this is what happened…” You were gonna only tell them half of it.

—FLASHBACK—

You kept a distance from his prison cell just for safety reasons because you regret everything you did! Even though he’s a cruel, cold, heartless monster, he did have a good side to him that people rarely see! You and the other Avengers were waiting for his arrival at his new home and then you saw him. You had a gun just in case he were to do something stupid!

As soon as he saw Tony,Natasha,Steve and Bucky, he knew all this is happening cause of the Avengers. “Hahaha it was you guys! How did this even happen?” He still didn’t see you yet since you left the place. You wanted to come in after he was locked or when he was going to get locked. All though you were further away from the cell, you did hear everything clearly.

You soon walked in and Joker started laughing! “There she is! My doll is here to kill all of you! She’s the strongest girl I’ve ever seen! She’s my girl, my angel, my sweetheart! I knew she would come to save me!” He retorted happily. You felt really guilty inside, you felt dead inside cause of what you’re doing to the Joker! “What are you waiting for? KILL THEM!” He demanded but you couldn’t.

“Agent Red Fury (That’s your superhero name), it is nice to see you again!” Nick greeted you with a smile. You didn’t want to look at Joker since you don’t like his face when he’s angry. “Agent Red Fury? Who the FUCK IS AGENT RED FURY?“ He yelled for an answer. You had to finish what you started so you forgot everything you’ve done with him and went calmly towards him.

“Hello Joker! It’s nice to see puddin in jail isn’t it?” You said with a smirk. Joker had anger in his eyes, you’ve never seen his face with this much anger and knowing you caused it! BOI that’s bad. “YOU! I…YOU FUCKING CUNT! HOW DARE YOU PLAY WITH THE JOKER!” All the avengers were scared for the first time except you. To be honest you’re shit scared too! But you’re gonna go with the flow! “It’s funny how you actually thought a girl like me would fall in love with you!” You said walking towards him with your arms crossed.

You told the guards to stay near the doors and to release his hand cuff. After they did that they raced towards the entrance to make sure he had no way of escaping. Joker played with his hands for awhile. “Doll! That was a horrible move! You know never to play with the Joker right? Didn’t I teach you that?” He was walking towards you. “Yes! You also taught me your ways and secrets of fighting! That would be really useful right now!” You looked at Joker in the eye and then before you can act, he slapped you really hard on the side of your face. You felt the sting on the cheek for a good 10 to 20 seconds and then grabbed your gun!

You looked around and saw Clint, Steve and Natasha holding a gun. You got up and pointed the gun straight towards Jokers forehead. “You’re gonna shoot me? DO IT!” Obviously he saw which gun you were holding and it was his favourite gun! “I’m not gonna shoot you with your own gun! I’m not that mean! I’d rather just kick you in the nuts and leave!” You told the others to leave and it was just you, Joker and 2 other guards.

Joker was put in his cell and you were standing right in front of it. Joker was sitting on the floor. “Mister J?” You whispered. He looked up and stayed there staring. “I’m sorry Mister J! I don’t know what happened to me!” He stood up and walked towards the bars. “Baby girl just get me out of here and then you can join me for real!” He said. His hands were now holding on the bar and you were close to it as well. “I thought you can’t trick the Joker but I just did!” You said laughing.

He got really angry and grabbed your neck. “You think you’re real funny don’t you? Let me show you what’s funny once I escape this prison! You can’t hide Sweetheart! Never from the Joker!” He threatened while having you in hold. Struggling to breathe you asked, “Did…you.act.ually….love..m..me?” At this point you were crying so he let go of you.

With teary eyes you turned towards the guards and demanded them to leave! After they left you turned towards Joker and saw that his eyes were red! You stole the keys to his cell. You used your power to bust the cameras. You opened the gate and walked in locking the door behind you. You were standing there, you wiped your tears and looked up. “You still didn’t answer my question?”

You had a fake smile on your face and he noticed that. He moved closer and slapped you once again. You yelped, you felt the stinging sensation and then he had you in a choke hold AGAIN. “This is why I love you! You can take all the pain, the abuse! You could’ve left but you didn’t. Even though your mission was to catch me or kill me, you saved me multiple times. That’s exactly why I love you Y/n!”

With that said you hugged him tightly. Surprisingly he hugged you back! You both started hearing things from the loud speaker. “ GUARDS PLEASE GO TO JOKERS CELL! I REPEAT, GO TO JOKERS CELL RIGHT NOW!” He pulled away from the hug and kissed you passionately! You returned the kiss and this went on for 2 minutes probably. You pulled away and said, “I’m sorry J but everything has to end here, right now! I don’t wanna leave you but this has to happen! You have to hate me! Whatever you do, only know me as the girl who put you in Belle Reve prison.” Joker looked mad and yelled, “SO YOU’RE GONNA FUCKING LEAVE ME? ARE YOU INSANE? I CAN’T FORGET YOU!”

You pushed him away and locked the gates. You stood right in front of him, only the bars separating you. “If I had to choose you or the avengers, I’ll choose them over anyone! KNOW THAT! Why do you think I said I’ll take the mission? Because I have a dark side and a bright side. And you’re feelings are easy to play with and here I am, standing in front of you as your ex-girlfriend.” “EX? WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN EX? YOU FUCKING BITCH! I FUCKING HATE YOU!”

You looked at him and said, “I’m an Avenger, a hero, not a villain!” “Don’t fucking think this is the end Red Fury! I will come and find you, and make you pay for what you’ve said and done to me! I’ll still love you no matter what!” He repeated. “I DON’T FUCKING LOVE YOU JOKER! I DON’T WANT TO BE KNOWN AS A VILLAIN JUST CAUSE I WAS IN LOVE WITH ONE! IF YOU ESCAPE, I’LL STILL BE THE REASON WHY YOU’RE IN PRISON AGAIN. I DON’T FUCKING CARE IF YOU DIE IN HERE, JUST DON’T COME LOOKING FOR ME! I don’t love you anymore!” You said leaving the place with tears. “Y/N! Y/N! DON’T YOU WALK AWAY FROM THIS CONVERSATION! THIS ISN’T OVER BABY GIRL!” You heard Joker scream and bang on the bars! “LEAVE ME ALONE FOR FUCK SAKES!” You yelled back.

“Keep an eye on him guys! He’s not the one to last in a prison for a week! He’ll find out a way to contact Frost! Oh and sorry about the cameras, the reason why they weren’t working was my fault! I’m not fixing it though!” You said not taking charge. “If he does escape, I’ll kill all of you guys!” You threatened the guards and left.

“I’ll come baby girl! Just for you I will return! HA HA HA HA HA!”
