Mr. Freeze™

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When Super Villains run amok in Gotham City, this Gotham City police officer is on the job. Keeping constantly in communication with his fellow officers via his official GCPD walkie-talkie, he races to the scene at top speed and carefully places safety barriers down to keep civilians away from the danger. Then all he has to do is stand back and wait for Batman™­ to show up and defeat the bad guy! Bat-Fact: I like this guy. He stops people from taking selfies with me while I’m fighting crime.

What can you say about Superman that hasn’t already been said by every newspaper, TV news show, podcast and blog around? He’s the world’s greatest Super Hero, with powers that include super-strength, flight, invulnerability, heat vision, X-ray vision, freezing breath, super-ventriloquism, and a whole lot more. He may have originally come from Krypton, but no hero has saved the Earth more times. He’s friendly, kind, generous and humble…not to mention Batman’s main rival and possible arch-enemy! Bat-Fact: His biggest power is somehow making that red cape not look goofy. No, I take it back. It does look goofy.

Edward Nigma’s only super-power is his brilliant mind, which he uses to come up with mind-bending puzzles to taunt the Gotham City police as they try to guess where and when he’ll commit his next crime. Fortunately, Batman’s knowledge of useless trivia is second to none, making the Dark Knight Detective the perfect hero to put together the clues and stop The Riddler’s ridiculous riddle rampage. Bat-Fact: Uses too many question marks in his writing.

Back in the faraway land of Oz, the Wicked Witch had a legion of winged monkeys to carry out her wicked will. Now that she’s free in Gotham City, her simian minions have been unleashed once more to wreak havoc and cause mischief wherever they fly. Completely loyal, they obey the commands of their mistress without question, and also without much brainpower. When the weather forecast calls for flying monkeys, remember to pack an umbrella! Bat-Fact: More dangerous than flying hamsters, less dangerous than flying snake-clowns.

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.
