alttext

Obscure Batman enemy, only seen once in 1969. He's Batman's tailor... and he's gone rogue ! Duh duh dum !

alttext

Mister X

(Catwoman/Batman enemy)

A 1950s gangster with a gimmick. He's obscure, but he was in an important Catwoman story. As of September of 2019, our contributor Pawsplay added Mutants & Masterminds stats, but nobody realised it was him due to his padded disguise.

alttext

Batgirl

(Barbara Gordon) (Burnside era 2015/2016)

This profile is about a *specific* version of Batgirl (Barbara Gordon). Namely, the popular "Batgirl of Burnside" era in 2015/16. It was pretty cool.

alttext

Catwoman

(Profile #2 - 1950s)

This is the part that comes after the two-parts article about Catwoman during the 1940s. Unsurprisingly, it's about Catwoman as she appeared during the 1950s. Or rather the early 1950s, for historical reasons.

alttext

Fugue

(Vinton Burwell)

The main bad guy in the third Batgirl of Burnside collection, Mindfields. Memory manipulations and injection, somewhere between the Inception movie and gaslighting/psychological abuse. Not easy to use in tabletop RPGs, mind.

alttext

Operator

An elite yakuza whom Batgirl and Spoiler fought in Burnside. One of 'em giant henchman types we like so much.

alttext

Batgirl

(Stephanie Brown) (Part 1)

Stephanie Brown as Batgirl during her excellent 2009-2011 run. Unsinkable, endearing and getting pretty damn competent at this stage. As of April of 2019, this profile was ensmoothened then split so it's easier to read, especially on smartphones. As we slowly do with our longer writeups.

alttext

Velvet Tiger

(2010s version)

This is the 2010s version of DC's Velvet Tiger. So, the one mostly seen during the Burnside softboots for Batgirl (Barbara Gordon). Sociopathic rich lass with both a high-tech angle and a big cats angle. She works fairly well as a street-level villainess.

alttext

alttext

Cat King

(a.k.a. the King of Cats)

The King Of The Cats (or Cat King) only appeared in one 1952 story, as Catwoman's brother. He buckled swash. That dropped out of continuity decades ago, but it was fun.

alttext

Man in the iron mask

An obscure 1947 enemy of the Batman. Gangster-with-a-gimmick type.

alttext

Catwoman

(Profile #1 - 1940s, part 1)

This is specifically for the earliest (1940-1949) versions of Catwoman (a.k.a. the Cat, a.k.a. the Cat Woman). Because she changes a lot over time. As of November of 2018, this article was overhauled, and is now presented as a two-parter due to all the additional material.

alttext

alttext

Catwoman

(Batman Returns 1992 movie) (Michelle Pfeiffer)

Likely the most famous version of Catwoman, as played by Michelle Pfeiffer in the 1992 movie Batman Returns. Yes, we're glad that we finally could write her up.

Street-level costumed villain and sadist, with knives. As of July of 2018, this profile had some M&M stats brutally slapped on.

alttext

Echo and Query

An unusually capable and determined duo of criminal muscle, who enjoys working for the Riddler. They can't do much about Batman, sure, but they're fun.

alttext

Headhunter

(Batman enemy)

Minor but cinematically skilled assassin who once clashed with Batman. As of November of 2017, this profile has received M&M stats and an edit pass. The illustrations have also been overhauled at, uh, some point in the recent past. Way too many illustrations on this site to keep track of. Need more coffee.

alttext

Speedboyz

A competent, themed gang of high-end car thieves operating around Gotham. They twice clashed with Robin (Tim Drake).

alttext
