Jonathan Dicksonberg

Jonathan Dicksonberg is a character in the Project Batman series and the primary antagonist in Project Batman 3 and Project Batman: Legend of the Lazarus Pit, a minor character in Project Batman 2, and a secondary antagonist in the retconned timeline of Project Batman 4.
== Personality ==
At first, Dicksonberg is a Batman fanboy but quickly changes his view on him once he finds out he killed his father and then becomes very petty and spiteful towards Batman and often lets his emotions get in the way leaving him to make very impulsive decisions which led to him overusing the power of his family hat, nearly turning him into a deranged psychopath. In the PBB he's more chill but still fueled by anger and the desire to avenge his father. Ultimately, Dicksonberg learns nothing about his behavior being his downfall.
== History ==
Jonathan Dicksonberg was the son of The Gangster Lord. he was mostly unaware of his father's criminal actions but he was treated well by him and given a good education. His father did teach him leadership skills which lead him to be able to form a gang of villains and thugs to be on his side during the events of PB3
== Project Batman 2 ==
Dicksonberg has a minor role, asking Batman for a lift to school and nothing more. He finds out his father was killed during this movie and plots his scheme off-screen.
== Project Batman 3 ==
Dicksonberg, using his family hospital as a base, gathered a massive group of criminals even including some supervillains to launch an assault on Batman in order to lure him to a place where he could kill him personally. Dicksonberg worked with Alfred Pennyworth to develop weapons and gear and fund his revenge scheme behind the shadows and in turn allow Alfred to use Dicksonberg's advanced strengthening pods inside the hospital. Dicksonberg also housed The Joker to recover in his hospital after his defeat in PB2. After having a showdown with Batman in the construction site, he leaves his body on a bench for Tim Drake to find and take to the nearest hospital, the Dicksonberg Estate Hospital. All going according to plan and masking the sign so Tim wouldn't think anything suspicious is going on, Dicksonberg pulls the live support on Batman to ensure he is completely killed and with no way to trace it back to him but the plan goes wrong, and Batman is revived in a zombie-like state since he was being healed inside an experimental pod. Dicksonberg dons his family hat in a last-ditch effort to stop the duo and wins, locking them up in his closet. Dicksonberg then set the building to self-destruct and made a run for it to his father's grave to "talk" to his father and lay down his family hat on his grave as he thinks that his job is done and his father is avenged. Batman and Tim escape, unknown to Dicksonberg and visit the grave. Batman puts on the hat and passes out since the hat only responds to Dicksonbergs (In the canon timeline, Batman is NOT a Dicksonberg but in the uncanon retconned PB4 timeline he is and the hat responded to him and made Batman pass out because of the sheer power.). While Batman is passed out, Dicksonberg spots the two and realizes that he did not succeed in killing them so in a fit of rage, he killed Tim Drake on the spot and disposed of the body and put on his costume to taunt Batman once he woke up. Dicksonberg and Batman then fought a long and violent battle while Dicksonberg was being corrupted by his anger and using the family hat too much. Almost becoming a psychopath and killing Batman, Dicksonberg comes to his senses and lets go of his anger toward Batman since he already killed Tim and made Batman suffer a loss similar to his own. However, Batman did not care all that much about Tim until he finally grew a consiense in PB6, which left Dicksonberg still spiteful towards Batman. At the end of the movie, Dicksonberg leaves town since he is now wanted for questioning by the police and has to lay low.
== Project Batman: Legend of the Lazarus Pit ==
After the events of PB3, Dicksonberg became a fugitive with nothing to his name and after apologizing to Batman for killing Tim Drake, he went off to find a way to revive his father using the Lazarus Pit. Eventually, he comes across it and puts his father's corpse in it to bring it back to life. Using the Dicksonberg Family Barn as a base, they plan a revenge scheme on Batman by invading the Batcave and using his father's prototype weapons to kill him. Unfortunately for them, Batman (With the help of Alfred), kill both Dicksonberg and the Gangster Lord brutally and permanently with The Batcave suffering mass destruction and forcing batman to build a new one.
== Project Batman 4 (Retconned Timeline) ==
 Note: The Project Batman 4 Retconned Timeline is NON-CANON and not to be taken as fact or in-line with the actual events that transpired in the Project Universe and completely separate from any canon material. Read at your own risk.
== Legacy ==
== Kill Count ==
Jonathan Dicksonberg's final kill count is unknown since he is known to experiment on human beings in his hospital and blew up said hospital, likely killing his entire crew since they are never seen again. Dicksonberg is famous for killing Tim Drake offscreen in PB3. It is unknown the method of killing he used but it likely had to do with using his powered up form to take Tim by surprise. Its possible that he buried Tim in his father's grave since at some point after PB3 he obtains his father's corpse to revive it in the Lazarus Pit in the PBB. Overall, Dicksonberg has a relatively low kill count given his presence in the story. Going by the PB4 retconned timeline, he likely killed his son, Bust to disguise himself as him and might have shot Jim Gordon.
