Trying this again, a new arch enemy for batman.

[GothamGirl]

Not to long ago I made a post about making batman a arch enemy worthy of Batman Beyond. When I checked it out later I was delighted to see 8 people had posted, but when I read what was posted I was displeased. Not a single one was a serious character. They were either posts about other villians or joke arch villians. In other words, I HAD BEEN SPAMED!!!

If your going to post make it serious and a arch villian.






Rules

1. Make him/her as original as possible. You can't say that an old one came back to life, I know they did it in ROTJ but it's to easy. However you could have like the Riddler's son came to get revenge on batman, so long as the gimmicks are different. In stead of riddles puzzles and mazes

2. You can base them on marvel characters or other comic book characters so long as ther verry diferent. God knows I don't want another "Terrific Trio" but you like take wolverine and base him on a character who likes to slice and dice people.

3. It can be a girl or a guy.

4. If someone posts a villian, you can post a suggestion for the villian, but if they don't like it they don't have to use it.

5. Have them make sence. Somone just dosn't all of the sudden decide to be a super villian. It's gradual so make a propper bio.

6. They can have powers but also, have it make sence and be thouroug about it in the bio.

I may add more later but, this is good for now.

--the perfect villain would have to be someone that somebody deliberately/unwittingly frigged over years ago who has been lying in wait for years dreaming about the day they can rise up and crush their tormentor. Maybe Bruce Wayne did something in college that cost someone a job or a scholarship or a crucial test grade or whatever, and their life has since gone swirling down the porcelain. Crappy job, bad marriage, maybe they even ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time and got shot and crippled by some thug all because of what Bruce did to them. So they decide to kill Bruce over what he did to them, real or percieved. Maybe they don't even bother with a costume and a gimmick--if it's a dame she seduces him and either kills or ruins him, and if it's a guy he just tries to blow Bruce's brains out with a revolver from a rooftop or a pistol at close range in the Waynecorp parking complex. Maybe Bruce doesn't even remember their name. All the sweeter. Like Harley said in "Mad Love", "Why dont'cha just shoot him?" Trouble is, Joker is too much of an egoist to do things simply. Not so just a Joe Blow with an old grudge to settle and no desire to bullpuckey about with it....

The Ferris Boyle Humanitarian Foundation has been destroyed by a freak snowstorm on the hottest day of the year. Commissioner Gordon is trapped in a virtual reality maze. Laughing gas covers Gotham City on April Fool's Day.

Sound familiar? It should...

...except Victor Freeze is dead, it's Commissioner Barbara Gordon, and it's April Fool's Day 2050.

Copycat is in town.

Steven Sterling was something of a troublemaker growing up. He was always getting sent to the principal's office for doing impressions of teachers and students. It was really just his way of crying out for attention that he wasn't getting at home, but, his parents and teachers didn't see it that way. They saw him as a slacker who just didn't want to apply himself. Maybe that's why he ended up failing out of school.

So there he was, out on the streets, with no real skills except being able to impersonate people. It started out simple enough, impersonating salesmen or credit card companies to get information from unsuspecting victims... assuming their identities... That was, ultimately, what would land him in jail several years later, when he attempted to impersonate Bruce Wayne over the phone and transfer a good chunk of the Wayne fortune into his own bank account. His apprehension came at the hands of the Batman.

But that was a long time ago. Now Steven is out on parole, and he wants to finish the job he started with Bruce Wayne. Although when he tries breaks into Wayne Manor one night, he's not at all ready for what he finds... a sleek new Batmobile taking off from Wayne's back yard.

Now, Steven has kidnapped Bruce Wayne, and is calling this new Batman out to play, mimicking the crimes of the original Batman's greatest foes. But with Bruce unable to help, will Terry be able to solve the puzzles in time?

:::Terry walks through the icy remains of the Ferris Boyle Foundation... a cold wind blows through the building::::

TERRY: "Whoever's doing this, you're really sick."

COPYCAT (OVER SPEAKER): "Let's just say I'm a big fan of the real Batman."

TERRY: "The real Batman?"

COPYCAT: "If there's one thing a copycat hates... it's another copycat."

What do you guys think?

Kitty,

I was quite impressed by your story! A very different version of a character with the same name. Of course, I didn't know you'd created a character with that name already, since, of course, I wouldn't want to be accused of being a "copy cat" myself! ;)

its ok i think Gotham can deal with more than one copy cat:)

Lyle Nite/The Jester
::for Batman Beyond-rather long::

1. I know this is my username, but I couldn't find anything else suitable.
jester\'jes-ter\ n : a retainer formerly kept to provide casual entertainment.
This character is basically to terry what the joker was to bruce. Except, unlike the joker, the jester (sounds corny at first) doesn't have to be the villain in animated films in the stead of the cartoon series for you to actually see how evil he is by having his twisted "doctored" ways with people, or killing close loved ones to batman. He does these things frequently. His getaway genius could be compared similarly to that of Carmen Sandiego, but he comfortably does it, as if when being chased by Batman he is all just about good times and giggles, never scared of being run down.
Really though, the Jester is psycheologically/mentally insane, but is completely in tune with the real world. He cares for nothing. He can charm, he can darkly entertain with laughs, and he is incredibly intelligent and articulate, however none of that genius goes to being a 'real' person. He is a little boy monster deep down inside with a fondness for evil enjoyment for which he lives for.

2. Looks: Since yellow has been called the mythologic colour for mockery, this is one of the Jester's image trademarks. His suit consists of a tight suade jacket, half dark yellow - half black, a little tiny black bow-tie to go with a discoloured polo shirt. Attached to one of the sides of his jacket is a pinned on charm of a little girlish pink heart. His pants are basically terry's casual wear pants. His skin is a pale bleeched sunflower with almost a grey-blueish hughe circling his eyes. His entire skin structure has been given a twisted uplift....eyes, ears, mouth, cheeks etc. making his face, overall, devilishly pointy. His hair style changes practically every time he is seen. From nicely parted, to messily touseled.

3. The Jester's background goes back as far as Terry's (so roughly the same age). Just like Jack Napier's age is along the same line as Bruce's. As his villain alias the Jester, Lyle Nite was apart of a "scientific" mafia. For such a young age, he held the firm position as the organization's own steward, or rather, the "puck", however a murderer/hitman by all means also. He has also had extensive experience in ambassador-work, mathematics, space expertise, machinery etc.
Moving right along...
One of the mafia's scientists headed a project that would create "Captain Americas" in a sense. Super Murderers. Before the project took place, Lyle bribed the scientist to be the first one to the test. It happened. And Lyle Nite was never the same.
He became even more crazy than ever. Now more than just the joker in the deck. And along with his new self he completely destroyed the entire scientific project, making him the only product.
And so, now, Lyle Nite is no more, and the Jester is all about being a villainist extremist. No real motives whatsoever, yet at the top of his class.

:: Are you liking the profile so far? Good! Read on ::

4. Overly, besides always recruiting new henchmen to his side, the Jester has a very....large.....body-quard - The Nanny. The Nanny is an extraordinary robot dressed in a red trenchcoat with a 'happy' doily atop the head of a lifeless painted face. Tinkered and tailored by the Jester himself, the Nanny serves at the side of it's master at all times. And at times the Jester will scoff and use the Nanny as a symbol of jokes and funniness in front of anyone - sort of a inside joke trait.

5. The Jester plays games with Batman and others. This is one of his high points. He plays dead when you'd think he is dead, then surprises. And he retains a strange faked-admiration for classical opera. Which when he is up to his evil plots he cranks onto the speakers at full blast. When his hair is set in a spikey-do he puts blades under his hair. etc.

6. The Jester isn't about trying to "live-up-to" or "surpass" the Joker's ways or image in any way. He is simply about doing his thing - gladsome villainy and happy murdersome heists and plots. A true villain in my mind is one that you hate and love at the same time. One that you laugh at because he is darkly funny in every sense but impossibly evil to the point of sickness.

Man, these are really good. I'm still tinkering with mine, but I don't think mines "Arch villian material" so I'm trying to make another.
