Main Characters

## Batman

The Knight in not so shining armour; Batman looks over Gotham City as if he was a hero but in reality, he is a stubborn millionaire in a bat costume. Well, he is a hero as well, just not a super one. Despite his code being to never kill anyone, he has ended up running over a thousand civilians and has almost hit all of his Robins.

Even though he has a dark persona, he is a general nice guy to be around. He is understandable unlike the Christian Bale version so we say that's a bonus. He does play with LEGO sets every now and then - only for them to be casted in the fire soon after.

## Commissioner James Gordon

The father of Barbara Gordon and the son of Peter Gordon, one of the members of the Dynasty.

James Gordon has had it rough in his past, his brother had died in a drink and drive accident with his sister in-law, making Barbara and her brother James Jr. orphans. He had also been left without a father, believing he had died in a similar accident to his brother. His mother was rarely seen as she was consumed with work.

He was later on recruited by the GCPD and quickly escalated up the ranks, rivaling the chimp-cop, later succeeding him. (rumour has it that James is a patient in Arkham).

## Detective "Bobo" Chimp

The cop-turned-mob boss chimp, better known as Bobo, is the founding father - or should we say "monkey" - of the Gotham Underworld and Banana, the reigning restaurant chain. He has an entire army dedicated to his service, including the [insert threatening trio name here] - Harley Quinn, Deathstroke and Ra's Al Ghul. He works alongside Martian Manhunter (his humble carer) and Vibe (the not-so humble translator).

Living in his penthouse, Bobo would eat nothing but bananas and salted peanuts, but he made sure only him ate them - and he means it. Do *not* touch his banana spread. I did it once and he cut my fingers off.

## Joker

The Clown Prince of Crime. The V.V.I.P of Villain Club. The TV personality star of his very own show. The director of Gothamopolis' *Zsasz: The Lovely Movie* and *It Came From Krypton*.

His name is everywhere. The Joker is mainly known for his notorious crimes around Gotham City but also for his filmography. Despite him killing over a thousand pedestrians during his stay at the home of the Dark Knight, he is still loved and adored by his crew. He has landed himself in Arkham Asylum countless times and even has a cell reserved for him whenever he next visits.

His real identity is unknown but what we know of is that he doesn't remember who he was before he became the smiling killer we all know of today.

## Martian Manhunter

The loyal carer of Bobo, the emotionless alien was once the leader of the Justice League, lounging in the Watchtower above Earth-69, only to be sick of baby-sitting grown up men, demigods, aliens and cyborgs and so travelled back down to the planet and made his own home there, only to discover the rampaging monkey on the loose. When he stepped in, the chimp was calm and relaxed. He later on adopted him as his own child and bought the diners, later on naming them the famous *Banana*.

## Batgirl

Brave? Bold? Quirky? A total klutz and an utter social mess?

Barbara Gordon ticks all of them. She was born and raised in Burnside until her parents died in an accident, causing her and her older brother to be orphans and in care of her uncle, Commissioner James Gordon. When she was thirteen, she was adopted by James and admired him to the bottom of her heart, but as a Batman fanatic, she combined both of her interests and became the Batgirl. It was until she was shot by the Joker, she had to retire from the role, however, she was keen to still fight, so she became the Oracle for a short duration of time until she had an experimental surgery gone right and managed to regain feeling in her legs with an implant in her spine, which enabled her to step back into the Bat-light and reclaim her title as Batgirl.

Whenever she is undercover, she uses the name "Amy Beddoes" - something obscure and rememorable. When she used it for the first time, she ended up leaving, faking her death in Burnside, making goons believe that they had lost a favourable soldier.

## Dusan Duggan

Dusan was the successor to his parents' crime organisation, inheriting all of the riches as well as their ambitious traits. He was once living in Manhattan, New York, teaming up with a heist crew including Daniel List, an anonymous hacker and the "red sorcerer". He managed to succeed and fled to Gotham City to expand his empire and his ideas, only to be caught in the business race between Bobo and Oswald Cobblepot.

However, after seven months of tugging at the strings of powerful people, he lost the conflict and fled back to Manhattan.

## The Penguin

He is not a teapot, but he is short and stout.

The original leader of Gotham's underworld was driven to anger and embarrassment as he heard that a monkey has overthrown him. During these years, he has been hobbling effortlessly to the top by stealing various weaponry, setting up empires around Gotham City, extinguishing fear among many. Oswald Cobblepot was once the owner of Gotham Zoo, the home of Bobina the Chimpanzina until he was attacked by her, causing his leg to shatter and his iconic limp.

He is also a key member of the Villain Club and the star of his very own musical with the songs such as "One Waugh More", "Alexander Waughmilton", "The Waughntom of the Opera" and "All That Waughzz".

## The Riddler

One of the Nygma triplets, Edward is the smartest of them all - as well as the most driven. He is the one who puzzles every single person in Gothamopolis, but Batman is the one to see through them. Unlike his brothers, he keeps to himself and secretive about his plans until he releases mayhem onto the innocent.

His iconic question marks is always on him - on his hat, jacket, trousers, gloves, cane and he even has a purple tattoo on his back.

He was the mastermind behind the Dent-Nygma presidential campaign and the rigging of votes, allowing them to rule all of the cities, disabling Bobo's empire for their own gain.

Every now and then, he appears in town, often mistaken for his sex offender brother, Sexward, but he always gets angry when people compare him to his dim-witted brother.

## Two-Face

His ambition to become the President of Gothamopolis once came true as Harvey Dent slithered his way into the presidential election. The corrupt politician-turned-bank robber aims for the highest and only the highs. By his pseudonym, Two-Face, he has two separate personalities - one being the politic fanatic and the other is the scarred yet terrifying criminal.

Dent is built on greed and power, but that is also his weakness. He makes decisions based on his trusty (yet biased) 50 cent coin.

He has flipped the coin and if it lands on heads, I get robbed; tails, I go free... Fingers crossed it's tails.

## Harley Quinn

The psychopathic jester, also known as Dr Harleen Quinzel, was once the Joker's partner-in-crime, only to discover what he really did to her, causing her to lose faith in her Puddin' and leaving his side. During that time alone, she was dotted about, finding where she truly belonged. She never fitted in with the Batfamily nor the GCPD. She attempted to join in with Harvey Dent's presidential reign - only to be rejected. She banded with the Birds of Prey for a while, with Batgirl, Huntress and Black Canary but left to join the Sirens.

She later on was contacted by Bobo to join his militia, which took some convincing to do. But in the end, she joined them, as long as she could get revenge on the Joker and the Villain Club. She still sides with the Sirens (Catwoman and Poison Ivy) but she mainly hangs around the Detective's Guardians of the Underworld.

## Ra's Al Ghul

Little is known about Ra's Al Ghul as he lives under the shadows of Gotham City. Unlike Batman, Bobo seems to tolerate him and even accepted him into his militia. However, he has ties with the Court of Owls and the League of Assassins. Known as the Demon's Head, he has the exact persona of the Devil himself. He keeps himself immortal by his Lazarus spa in his hideaway at the Gotham Lighthouse.

He has a daughter named Talia, however, she is rarely seen around Gotham, but we may end up seeing more of her - we never know. His grandson, Damian Wayne (better known as Robin) has some of his traits such as his deadliness and his ninja-like skills.

Nowadays, Ra's tries to step away from the battlefield but he will do whatever it takes to protect Bobo.

## Deathstroke

Better known as "Deathstroke the Terminator", Slade Wilson is the unkillable bounty hunter. He also works alongside Bobo, however he mainly joined to stay away from his daughter, Rose.

He mainly wears his orangy-yellow and black mask and suit as well as carrying his dual katanas, one out in the open to let obnoxious civilians to walk into it, letting them have a quick and painless death.

## John Constantine

The mastermind behind the multiverse and most of Batman's technology, John Constantine ditched his old demon-hunting life behind to fight for justice - however he is the one behind the scenes. He is one step ahead of everyone else in the game, using his sky-high IQ set to build and invent various machinery to help those who he deems worthy - as long as it also benefits him as well.

He is always living under the radar but we have suspicions he is somewhere in Smallville as I heard that Batman goes there when he needs technological help - whether it is changing the Wi-Fi password or disabling the villain's database.

## Alfred Pennyworth

The valet of the Waynes and the Batfamily, Alfred Pennyworth is the parental figure for them all, keeping them all in line. He has validated all of Batman's allies - except Superman - including Dick Grayson, Damian Wayne, Jason Todd, Barbara Gordon, even Kate Kane/Batwoman.

Little is known about his past apart from being in the British Army's SAS (Special Air Service), a medic in the army and even an actor in the recent *Zsasz: The Lovely Movie* where he gets shot plenty of times. And yes, they were real bullets. But he's fine now. He has retired from that job and now the Bat-Babysitter.

## Custom

Made by Wayne Enterprises, the Customs were made to be the protectors of Gotham City whilst Batman was on vacation. They ranged from different colours for different crimes - red being murder, black being terrorism, blue meaning police brutality and so on. But one went rogue and killed them all - or so we all thought. The one we know of at the moment brands themself as the true *Custom*, being the embodiment of fear and destruction.

They communicate by a various pitch of "eh" or ehiese (ay-eez) as we recently discovered. Not much is known why they cannot speak in any audible human languages but they do that and we will not question them.
