What if. Episode 2: Laurel Hedare
So...this one exists in a DC Comics film. It's a pity that said film had to be not only one of if not THE worst comic book movie of all time, one of the worst films in history, but one of the worst films I have ever seen. As well as one of the adaptations that I hate the most. It makes me cringe in disgust thinking about it. Naturally, on April Fool's Day, I figured it would be a funny topic to talk about. Even if it's brief. A model who decides to be a supervillain, because she and I'm quoting, "I was everything they wanted me to be. I was never more beautiful. Never more powerful. And then I turned 40 and they threw me away." Yes. She decides to become a villain, because she was dropped as the face of the company, because she was seen as too old. Granted, that concept could work...if the execution was handled better. Like Calendar Girl from The New Batman Adventures for example. But the writers just used the concept like toilet paper and flushed it away like Catwoman in the
As some of you guys know I haven't been keeping up with the comics lately, so I have no freaking clue who some of the newer members of the rogues gallery are. This is one of them. Her name is Shush. To put it simply, she's from what I have gathered, a female version of the old Bat-rogue Thomas Elliot. Aka, Hush. You know, this guy.

She has a better design than Hush, I give her that, and I have said that we needed more women in Batman's rogues gallery. But overall, I think she was just unnecessary. My opinion might change, but until then, she really doesn't have a true purpose to exist. Now, you're probably wondering by now if I'm going to draw her. Yes, but I'm not sure if I would include her

Rogue Analysis #1: The Joker
“Madness is the emergency exit. You can just step outside, and close the door on all those dreadful things that happened. You can lock them away…forever." -The Joker The Joker. What can be said about the Clown Prince of Crime that hasn't ben said a million times already? Was it really wise to start with the Ace of Knaves? I mean, we all know he's great, and arguably one of the biggest villains in Pop-Culture history. If there were a Mount Rushmore of the greatest fictional villains of all time, I'm 99.99 percent that the Joker would be on there. Well, alright. I won't make this review too long, because you all know the deal with this guy. Debuting in Batman #1, back in the spring of 1940, created by Bill Finger, Bob Kane, and Jerry Robinson, the Joker would make his first appearance fighting the dynamic duo, and by performing some of the biggest heists of the period, and leaving behind one of his biggest calling cards, murdering his victims with a smile. Not just on his own
