Catwoman™

The Laughing Lunatic. The Clown Prince of Crime. Batman’s greatest enemy. That’s how The Joker sees himself. With his white skin, green hair and constant grin, this villain has made it his life’s goal to cure Gotham City’s all-so-serious grimness and gloom. He might break the law, but he really just wants to make people smile…and to rule the city…and to get Batman to finally admit that he is his greatest enemy. Is that too much for a super-villain to ask? Bat-Fact: Never laughs at Harley Quinn’s jokes.

Dr. Pamela Isley used to be a botanist, but her obsession with plants led her to become the super-villain Poison Ivy, using her powers over all things green and growing to try to transform Gotham City into a vegetable paradise free of humans and other pesky animals. Her toxin-infused body is immune to all poisons, and the effects of her kiss can range from mesmerizing to worse. Bat-Fact: Her middle name is Daisy.

Batman has always battled alone against the forces of injustice and evil, but now he’s suddenly got a kid sidekick to deal with. Where Batman is silent, serious and brooding, Robin is loud, enthusiastic and constantly bursting with excitement at getting to work with his favorite Super Hero and new dad. Only time will tell whether he proves himself to be a boy blunder or a true Boy Wonder! Bat-Fact: When not fighting crime, Robin practices groovy dance moves.

Alfred Pennyworth has been the butler to the Wayne family for pretty much forever. Hard-working, long-suffering and utterly loyal, he sees it as his responsibility not just to keep Wayne Manor and the Batcave clean and tidy, but also to look after his employer’s well-being…even when Batman doesn’t necessarily agree. He has in many ways been a father figure to Batman and he cooks an amazing lobster thermidor. Bat-Fact: In fact, worth a lot more than a penny.

Hawkgirl’s awesome ability to fly comes from Nth metal, a mystical and otherworldly material that defies gravity and lets this Justice League heroine soar on her bird-like wings. She’s ferocious in battle, swooping in to defeat villains and then carrying them off to prison. As a member of the Justice League, she fearlessly patrols the sky in search of trouble, though she does have to watch out for flocks of passing geese. Bat-Fact: Hawkgirl is the reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian princess. Or maybe she’s an alien space-cop. I can’t keep track of all of these origins.

Night-stalking crime-fighting vigilante. A heavy metal rapping machine. Super Hero. Master Builder. Batman is all of those and so much more. Equipped with a utility belt packed with Batarangs, grappling-guns and other inventions, and backed up by a Batcave full of cutting-edge vehicles and batsuits, Batman has sworn to forever defend the citizens of Gotham City against crooks and super-villains. Batman ALWAYS works alone. He’s also got a really sweet music career going, thanks for asking. Bat-Fact: Batman thinks his roommate, Bruce Wayne, is a super-cool guy.

Harvey Dent was Gotham City’s most honest district attorney until a tragic accident melted half of his plastic minifigure face. His mind cracked and he became the criminal Two-Face, who bases all of his decisions on the flip of a coin. Torn between doing good and bad, Two-Face is obsessed with the number two and always includes pairs of things in his crimes. Bat-Fact: Once robbed Gotham City’s Second National Bank twice on a Tuesday.

Well-meaning zoologist Dr. Kirk Langstrom was trying to cure deafness when he gave himself an injection of bat DNA. Instead, the experimental serum transformed him into a creature that was half-bat and half-minifigure, giving him wings and extra strength, but the mind and instincts of a wild animal. When on the loose, he can still be a real pest to Batman and the citizens of Gotham City. Bat-Fact: Batman has some concerns about brand-name confusion.

Meet Arkham Asylum’s newest psychiatrist! An intelligent and insightful doctor, Harleen Quinzel takes a keen interest in the asylum’s criminal inmates, paying especially close attention to her star patient, The Joker. With her devotion to her job and her surprisingly good understanding of the super-villainous psyche, she’s sure to accomplish a great breakout – er, breakthrough. Bat-Fact: Looks kind of familiar for some reason.

Every good super-team should have an animal sidekick, and Wonder Dog is the Justice League’s. This crime-sniffing canine may not have any significant super-powers (beyond the ones a regular dog has, anyway), but when it’s time for the League to party down, he puts his paws up on the turntables and mixes up a mean beat as the world’s most doggedly good DJ! Bat-Fact: I’ve been thinking about getting a dog. I’ll bet he’d be a real ace at helping me catch Catwoman.

Security Guard #70901 has been at this job for years without anything serious ever happening. Sure, he’s got plenty of special gear for emergencies, like an oxygen mask and air tanks, but when would he ever need to use them? Nah, he can probably kick back, relax, and enjoy a cup of toasty hot coffee. Say, is it starting to feel a little chilly in here to you? Bat-Fact: Would rather work somewhere warmer.

Carnival sideshow wrestler Waylon Jones was born with a rare genetic condition that over time has changed his appearance to become more and more like that of a real crocodile. With his powerful muscles, snapping jaws and tough scaly skin, Killer Croc more than makes up in brawn what he may lack in brains. Be glad you’re not this guy’s dentist! Bat-Fact: Claims he almost “got” Batman once by throwing a really big rock at him.
