The Joker isn't the only one crazy! Gotham City Criminal Guide [Mizumaru Kawahara's CINEMONOLOGUE Vol.32]

Ventoli Loquest / Poison Ivy / Killer Croc

・Vent Relo Quest

Of all the unique Batman villains, have you ever seen a plain-looking guy with glasses and a bald head? The only thing unusual about her is that she has a ventriloquist doll with moving jaws in her hand. But that doll is the problem. Ventriloquest is a ventriloquist, and this old man named Arnold Wesker engages in evil deeds through the puppet he holds in his hand, also known as Scarface. The puppet's personality goes out of control, and the ventriloquist in question seems to be doing its bidding, but of course Wesker is doing everything by himself. For Wesker, the doll Scarface is the same trigger that brings out his dark side, just like the burnt half of Two-Face's face. Even though he has an ordinary appearance, he does evil things through the doll he holds in his hand, which I think is exactly the kind of madness that befits a Batman villain.

・Poison Ivy

Pamela Eisley, a botanist who loves plants, is used as an experiment by the doctor she studied under, and her body is transformed into Poison Ivy, a plant monster with green skin, the ability to photosynthesize, and the ability to emit pheromones that can manipulate people. She is a terrifying person who can manipulate people and even kill them with lethal poison, but what sets her apart from other monsters is that all of her crimes are done to protect plants. She will do anything for the sake of the plants, which are like her family, or even part of her body, which is why she makes people her enemies.

But it's not just her terrifying powers that make her such a fascinating character. He will fight alongside Batman if their interests align, and he even shows a glimpse of kindness as long as he is not a threat to plants, which adds depth to the character. In particular, her friendship with Harley Quinn symbolizes Ivy's pop spirit. When I first learned about this pairing, I was a little surprised, but the combination of the cheerful Harley and the cool Ivy has an unstoppable momentum that makes it fun. Harley, who has been established as an individual without the Joker, seems more lively when she is with Ivy.

・Killer Clock

Waylon Jones was born with the crocodile gene and is a character whose appearance has gradually become more and more monstrous over time. At first, it was no more than a human with scales, but it gradually became more and more like a crocodile, its body changed into a gigantic creature, and its strength also increased. In the movie `` Suicide Squad, '' it has a relatively human form, but depending on the media, it is often depicted as a large crocodile wearing clothes. Although he also appears in `` The Lego Batman : The Movie ,'' the Lego doll version of Killer Croc has a cute design with a large body and a face that resembles the head of a traditional Lego crocodile. Gotham's criminals are mostly humanoid monsters, even if they're all crazy, but it's interesting to see a large, creature-like guy like this pop up every once in a while.
