August 1968. Conceived and plotted by Sergio Aragonés (with scripting assistance by Denny O'Neil) and drawn by Nick Cardy, Bat Lash was a tongue-in-cheek Western about a good-natured, dandyish outlaw and notorious ladies' man. Alas, it lasted only seven issues (plus the SHOWCASE tryout pictured), and proved more popular in Europe than in the U.S.

Who's Who In The DC Universe #2: Balloon Buster, Baron Bedlam, Baron Blitzkrieg, Baron Winters, the Barren Earth, and Bat Lash
Balloon Buster by Joe Kubert
Steven Henry Savage, Jr was born and raised in Mustang River, Wyoming
Trained by his poverty-stricken father to be a consummate marksman
Enlisted in the Army Air Corps at the onset of World War I
Repeatedly disobeyed orders, breaking formation to attack and destroy the German combat balloons, earning the nickname “Balloon Buster”
His commanding officer, Major Michaels, continually sought to court-martial Savage, General Talbot of High Command applauded his actions and demanded he be kept in combat
Savage was one of the most aggressive warriors of the first World War often dueled with his counterpart, Germany’s Enemy Ace
I never read much of the war comics from the various companies. I will say Enemy Ace received the cooler nickname. Balloon Buster had one post-Crisis appearance in a Batman comic James Robinson, writer of Starman and The Golden Age, tied the Balloon Buster to several previous DC characters. Matt “Trail Boss” Savage became the father of Brian “Scalphunter” Savage who became the father of Steven Henry Savage (no longer a Jr). Trail Boss and Scalphunter were stars of DC’s western comics. Robinson loved connecting various characters into a legacy line (read Starman to see how he connects all “Starmen” from Ted Knight to Thom Kallor into a single Starman legacy). The Wild West was circa the 1860s and World War II was 1914 – 1918, so Scalphunter could have fathered Balloon Buster. All three characters were marksmen so it works.
Baron Bedlam by Jim Aparo
Frederick DeLamb was the son of the regent installed upon the Markovian throne by the Nazis during World War II
DeLamb’s father exploited the position to enrich himself
Allied forces restored King Victor Markov to the throne near the end of the World War II
The DeLambs fled Markovia and amassed a fortune in an as-yet-undisclosed manner
Frederick DeLamb, calling himself Baron Bedlam, returned to Markovia, and attempted a coup to put himself on the throne
Baron Bedlam’s coup was thwarted by Brion Markov (aka Geo-Force) and members of the newly formed Outsiders
Frederick was captured by the Markovian people and is presumably dead or in prison
Well, Bedlam wasn’t dead as I remember seeing him in an Infinity Inc/Outsiders crossover I read. I don’t remember seeing Bedlam in any comics after the 1980s but its likely he made further appearances in the various Outsiders series. Bedlam with an updated origin featured in the Young Justice season (3?) that focused on Brion, Tara, and Halo.
Baron Blitzkrieg by Rich Hoberg & Tanghal
A Prussian nobleman who was made a concentration camp commandment.
A ruthless administrator who incurred the hatred of his prisoners.
A newly arrived inmate threw a vial of acid at him which quickly destroyed his features.
Hitler used the opportunity to have his scientists begin months of experimentation on the man.
The Prussian nobleman was transformed into a human fighting machine, a new tool for Hitler’s plan for world conquest.
The Baron battled the World’s Finest, the All-Star Squadron, and Wonder Woman.
Like Two Face, Blitzkrieg’s face was disfigured by acid. The difference is Two-Face is an interesting character. I don’t think the Baron has been seen since the 1980s and I don’t see him making a reappearance any time soon.
Baron Winters by Gene Colan & Bob Smith
Little is known of the Baron’s early days. He is said to have been a carnival baker, a teacher, a wizard, a writer, a king, and more.
He studied in another reality where he broke the laws by falling in love with another student, Katrina.
Their short-lived union produced a son, Gowan, who for centuries hade his father’s uncaring attitudes.
Winters maintains he’s been an advisor to emperors, warriors, and barbarians.
He has settled in Georgetown, Washington DC, and deals with the arcane arts.
He formed a group called the Night Force.
His mansion is connected to a “time-stream” that allows him to move from one century to the next.
Rarely leaves his mansion, preferring to remain inside with his cat, Merlin. Only leaving to solve mysteries that pique his interest.
Katrina and Gowan have come to live with the Baron along with Alice Jones, a time-displaced woman from the 1930s.
I feel for the Baron – I too would prefer to remain at home with my cats and books. I have a vague memory of reading a Baron Winters appearance in the 1980s – perhaps in the Swamp Thing storyline that involved multiple magic users. Maybe with Madame Xanadu? Another character that hasn’t been seen in a while but a talented writer could have fun with the Baron.
The Barren Earth by Ron Randall
Far in the future, the sun cooled and expanded, becoming a red giant.
Most of humanity fled to the stars but some remained, protected from the devastation by the walls of D’Roz, a floating city.
Mastering techniques which greatly expanded their longevity, these “Old Ones” embarked on a genetic engineering program.
They repopulated the Earth with new life-forms fierce and hardy enough to thrive in the blasted environment.
Two genetically altered human variants stood at the pinnacle of this ecosystem.
The first was the Harahashan, nomadic hordes of lizard-like men that lived in the desserts.
The second species were the fungoid Mulge who lived in the deep recesses of the earth.
Meanwhile, the humanity who had fled to the stars encountered the Qlov, an implacable insect-like species.
Humanity retreated to the “Barren Earth” to build starship bases.
The war passed Earth by, and the garrisons of human left behind fell into barbarism.
Two thousand years later, the Earth battles the Qlov again.
The human empire dispatched an expedition to reactivate the old star bases on Earth.
The ship was attacked by the Qlov and only one human survivor reached the surface of the “Barren Earth” – Jinal ne Comarr.
Jinal assembled a multi-racial band to unite the warring tribes of the planet.
It is not known if she succeeded in her quest or if the anticipated Qlov invasion happened.
This entry is more of a setting than a character. As far as I know, the “Barren Earth” hasn’t been seen since the 1980s. It’s a setting that any of the DC time travellers – Booster Gold, Rip Hunter, ect – could encounter in one of their journeys through time.
Bat Lash by Dave Gibbons
Bartholomew Aloysious Lash was raised to be tough by his farmer father but cultured by his educated mother.
When his parents were swindled out of their farms, Bart sought justice as he had been taught.
Forced to kill a crooked deputy, he was branded a murderer.
Bart discovered his parents and the woman he loved had been killed while his home burned down in flames.
Bart left his sister and his girlfriend, Betsy, at a convent for protection.
Bart took to the road, pursuing vengeance.
Cue lots of “Wild West” adventures while pursuing his parents’ killer.
Bat Lash, along with Jonah Hex, Tomahawk, Scalphunter, Cinnamon, etc was one of DC’s Western heroes. He still makes occasional appearances and I seem to remember that Bat Lash had a miniseries in the 2010s.

Justice League: Warworld
We are 6 (9-10) movies deep into the Tomorrowverse and it has less continuity than DCAMU. All of it is told out of order, and in separate realities. Like, this one is outright an anthology movie, that brings together Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter, but implies that all of them are from different universes. That’s despite that we saw Superman, Lobo and Manhunter from the…
