The phone rang twice before your boyfriend picked up. “Hello?” Jonathan answered somewhat quietly. “Hey, you’re on break yeah?” You asked. “I am.” He replied curtly. “Great so, I’m a little stuck on dinner tonight.” You admitted. “Oh Edward and Harvey are here, by the way.” There was a pause. “Why are they there?” Jonathan asked. “They just stopped by. They thought you were off work this week.” You responded. “I was off work last week.” Jonathan responded. “Well we know that now!” Edward rolled his eyes. “Why don’t you two stay for dinner!?” You straightened. “It’s not like we had a plan anyway!” “We shouldn’t intrude.” Harvey cut in. “No, really, it’s no trouble! Besides, I haven’t seen you two in ages, it’ll be fun!” Edward seemed smug. “I have no issue.” “Crane, you good with this?” Two-Face asked. There was a long pause. “No, no issue at all.” Jonathan finally replied, seemingly reluctant but always willing to do what made you happy. “How about you pick for dinner tonight and I’ll…” You paused. “I’ll help make it.” You giggled. “My dear, I think what you mean to say is that you’ll assist me making it because I can’t trust you not to burn down the apartment.” You heard a hint of amusement in his voice. “You know I can’t cook.” You whined. “I know. Very well. That’s fine by me. I have another few hours until I finish work so enjoy occupying Edward until then.” He said. Edward scoffed. “You make me sound like a child needing to be occupied!” “You are.” Two-Face and Jonathan immediately replied in unison. Edward huffed again with an eyeroll before mumbling under his breath. “Alright, we’ll leave you alone. See you soon, I love you.” You smiled. “I’ll see you soon, dear.” Jonathan said before hanging up the phone.
I’ve been thinking of trying for something a little closer to comicbook style? what do you guys think?
Also I did redesigns for some villains
Riddler is up in the air still need to work out his main outfit some more. While I liked the Batman movie, that interpretation of riddler is not my favorite. I like Gotham’s Riddler but the costumes in the last episode timeskip doesn’t do it for me.
I’m happy with scarecrow, I was going for something a bit more safer around his own fear toxin. This scarecrow is kind of neurotic and anxious, this man could be spooked by his own shadow. A coward to the core and hates confrontation. His fear toxin will trigger panic attacks not hallucinations.
Joker is Joker I don’t like this character I don’t find him all that compelling the best joker on screen is Cameron Monaghan and I don’t care for all the crazy for crazy Heath Ledger wannabes.
Selina…I have plans for her later down the line.
I darkened clayface so he’s not weirdly orange brown like a melty turd. I don’t know if I did great but I think he’s decently spooky looking.
I don’t think there’s ever been a real definitive look for two face so here’s another one to all the variants. I did a small comic for him I would like to expand on his relationship with Bruce and his trauma.
I loved the brief look at pink haired ivy from batman ninja and will continue to roll with it. I think it allows for more focus on the parts to make her look more unnatural like maybe her eyes of strangely sharp teeth. This ivy is not really human, talking to her feels like making deals with a devil who takes payment in dead bodies. So I try to convey a bit of that.
Lastly is penguin who I tried to make him more of a reflection of what I imagined an older fox’s Gotham penguin would look like. Half of his face is scarred and shredded from a grenade and the monocle is on the eye that still sees. This penguin is a classy sharpshot with silver and blue color scheme.
I saw a thing once that said due to the Lazarus Pit Jason Todd has a much higher immunity to poisons and toxins.
Personally I love the idea of Scarecrow releasing a fear toxin and Jason giving up his helmet for someone who didn’t have a rebreather (whether it’s a civilian or one of the batfam) and Scarecrow’s just like “Perfect the hulking black sheep of the batfam is about to go ape-shit” and Jason just gives a shit eating grin and goes on a whole dramatic ass monologue about how “you may create fear Crane but I control it” and “I’m the king of fear and you’re at best the jester” and a whole bunch of overly dramatic lines. And Scarecrow is just like “what??? The fuck??” Because the fear toxin is very much working on everyone else and this guy is completely unaffected. So Crane’s just like “holy shit, this guy is unfazed by his greatest fears what the fuck”
Jason, of course, uses this time to take him out. And the batfam is like “whoa jason you’re really unaffected by even your greatest fears?” And jason’s just out here like “Nah Im just immune to toxins lol. That monologue was just to fuck with Crane”
And Scarecrow just fucking becomes obsessed with Jason because “He knows fear even better than me” and “Someone who can fight even their greatest fears is truly special” lol
I redrew a panel from the good ol’ 1941 scarecrow origins. If I ever had the focus to finish big projects, I’d just wanna redraw this entire comic. I hold it so near and dear to my dead cold heart.
