#coolest villian
Text
been stalking the cherik fandom for a few months now and have concluded that while I will rewatch the movies over and over, go through the entire tag on ao3, maybe draw some art and love them dearly, I do not want to get involved in the fandom whatsoever because it seems like majority of the time it's just people arguing whether Erik or Charles was wrong and hating on the opposition

The Phantom Menace is a Menace to my sleep schedual
youtube
The beginning of this video is a scene from the movie that had plagued me for years
A droid.
A robot. Metal, no eyes. It is designed like the ones in the thumbnail.
Was holding up Binoculars to see something in the distance.
BINOCULARS!!!!
IT DOESNT NEED BINOCULARS TO SEE!! ITS A ROBOT!!! BINOCULARS SHOW IMAGES IN REVERSE!!!! THAT DOESNT WORK FOR ROBOTS!!!! ESPECIALLY IF THAT ROBOT HAS NO FUCKING EYES!!!!!
THIS MOVIE COST MORE THAN I WILL MAKE IN MY WHOLE LIFETIME AND GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE WORKED ON THAT MOVIE!!!!
I'm supposed to be sleeping but instead I'm ripping my hair out over how no one talks about this being the worst laps of logic displayed in media.
I could be making so much money as a script supervisor, but alas I am disabled and I hate Disney.
Yes this movie is 24 yrs old, no I am not over this stupid ass moment.

I recently finished the system shock remake and it’s really good! It’s a fairly difficult game but if you like immersive sims id highly recommend it.

Pre itsv platonic yandere PB in ur most recent post hits different... sorry for rambling, but im like obssesed with this idea.
• maybe his object of affection is a friend's kid, who he helped raise. He's the coolest person ever in their eyes! He'd be there whenever he could when they were younger, and he still tries now that they're college age.
• but he slowly becomes more jaded and depressed from the stress of being spiderman, and then him and mj divorce.
•he's depressed, he can barely get out of bed nost days ... and his object of affection, worried about their family friend, starts to visit him nearly daily. It's little things, like helping him clean, or taking him out to get coffee, or just... talking. And Peter clings onto that kindness. This kid (they're college age, but they'll always be a kid to him) saves him in a way.
• its only fair that peter looks out for them all the same-- When he patrols, he follows the kid from a distance and makes sure to lead villians away from their part of town. And for a while, it's enough to just keep them safe as Spiderman, and peter is happy for the first time in so long.
•...and then the kid says they're moving out of state for college, and peter can't bear it. He's started to see this kid as his own, and all he can feel is betrayed. How could this kid leave like everyone else in his life? He wouldn't let that happen. Whether it be hiding their letter of acceptance or straight-up just locking them away in his apartment, he'd be keeping them close by. He's delusional enough that guilt evades him-# his kid loves him, right? They'll adjust eventually.
This is a little ooc but like ^^^ platonic yanderes r my passion + im a sucker for depressed yanderes who become obsessed over people who made their lives light up for the first time in ages.
》 That may be so but your OOC is welcomed. Honestly I love prompts like this cause I can get a different angle from what I typically imagine so this was real nice. So yeah, ramble all you like.
Tumblr media
In high school he was your dad's best friend. And he had you at the age of sixteen. Shortly after Peter got bit. To say they were stressed was the biggest understatement in the world. They got through high school intact and went off to college while you were with your mother who was and is a fucking legend.
It took a few years to find out he wasn't actually related to you but he laughed and told you no one would ever want to drink blood so water wasn't bad. He always had a quip, was super strong, and he always seemed to know what to do. Having that thought consistently throughout your life had a big impact. You wanted him to be proud of you, you wanted to be him, and your dad laughed while he encouraged you. You would chase him across the world and further.
Looking back on it you realized he had his moments though. Sometimes he would get iffy and leave for a while only to come back like he didn't leave. When you were thirteen you visited him during one of his iffs. He told you to go home. When you were fourteen you did again. He told you to leave again. When you were sixteen he straight closed the door on your face after you said your piece.
Normally his episodes didn't last long, two weeks, maybe three if it was bad. You went over when it lasted a month. When he opened the door you shoved yourself in and said hi. That only took five years. He didn't force you to leave, he didn't have the energy to, but he told you to million times.
You looked around and then at him. He'd never been the cleanest person but the mess he had was almost impressive. But you weren't going to turn around, this was your moment to finally prove yourself as an adult. So you started picking things up and throwing it away while talking about nothing.
Watching you cleaning his mess and talk was the most horrible thing to see. It proved to him he was in such chaos you felt you needed to pick up after him. This shouldn't be happening, he should have handled it better. That was a bad thought and he knew it; no one would brush off people dying because you were too slow, no one should. But you didn't know that so he let you clean a bit and leave.
Having you shove yourself in the next day with a bag under your arm was also horrible, it was cleaning supplies. You still didn't go away when he said. You went around cleaning, you asked if he remembered when he taught you how to clean to get yourself out of trouble, to use bleach and made sure you didn't accidentally make mustard gas. He wondered if he was in hell, that he was to live a pitiful life with no way to fight it.
The next time he didn't open the door. You threatened to break down it down and he said have at it, and to not cry when you hurt yourself. You didn't cry when you hurt yourself, you came back the next day with a lockpick instead. At that point he accepted the idea he wasn't in hell. Then you saw his dishes weren't piling new ones. He didn't know if he was going insane while you cooked and cleaned or if he actually died while he wasn't looking.
You pushed him into the bathroom to get him to shower, when he couldn't get up you stayed and made him laugh with varying success, washed his clothes. He hated every second of it, hated that he was so useless you felt like you needed to do any of this.
Every new thing you found you stitched. It hurt but it made him better. He let you cook new things in his kitchen and take him out to coffee, all under the guise that he was doing you a favor of course. Before he knew it he let you in without a fight, his house was spotless in a way it never had been and you were visiting daily with a smile, he was smiling.
So he tried to return the favor. He stocked up on thing you wanted and liked, things to mess around with in the kitchen, those weird imported snacks you always got, even domestic things for the rare occasions you stayed over. And Spiderman did the same. Made sure you were unbothered when you were out and about, at the time he didn't realize he was punching harder. If a villain was in town he took the party elsewhere. He got used to this life.
His brain malfunctioned when he heard you applied for colleges out of state. Why would you go to Harvard? That was in Boston. California is just as bad if not worse than New York you know. There's nothing for you in Connecticut so there was no reason to apply for New Haven. He's lost a lot, aunt May is gone, his wife left him, he sees the people he can't save up close, Gwen. Now you were so close to slipping away.
You knew he'd be taken aback so you tried to reassure him by saying you weren't leaving them, him, and you'd come back every chance you got. He wanted to take that answer and leave but so many people have said that to him it was hard to. You brought him to tears and broke them with a hug and a key phrase, "I love you." How was he supposed to just let you leave?
The more he thought about it the more his mind swelled with looming regret. But then he visited you when you were opening your letter. Denied. You were frustrated and groaned it was the second letter you got, both denied. Under the excuse he was visiting to keep updated and the help of Spiderman your letters seemed to stop coming all together. No one knew where they went. He saw it as a job well done. You would get too upset to keep applying. Then you applied by email and explained to the recruiters what was happening. He couldn't stop that. A pile of letters in his closet for nothing.
There was so many things he could but he knew they would only go half way or not work at all. He couldn't just tell you no for so many reasons and threatening the recruiters would work but it would also be out in the open. However there was a way to keep you in Queens for sure and he had the energy to do it. Did it feel morally wrong? Yes, but the ends justify the means.
The next few days while he was getting everything ready he reminisced about your life. He asked if you remember how you would always ask him if he liked you're hair when it was obvious you did it by yourself, with too much gel or unnecessary accessories. Did you know he tried to take care of you by himself while you were just a few months old and you got sick, but you didn't really do anything other than sleep and spit to medicine out as much medicine as possible. You might not have remembered the time you were twelve and got lost so you called him to get you because you forgot your parent's number. And you took the stories. It was proof that he always paid attention to you and that's what you wanted, his approval, his pride.
You couldn't remember what you were doing, how far you got in the college process or if you were getting there but you remember having a drink with Peter. Something was wrong and you asked him to help you because you couldn't keep yourself up. When you woke up you were in his bed. Not very weird, it was a one bedroom apartment, what was was the restraint on your ankle connected to the bedpost. You called out for him and tried to get out of bed only to fall hard on the ground. The light from the hallway offended you and he was next to in a second.
You realized a few things; you were in pajamas, you were very weak and you throat was dry, but the worst thing was Peter not helping you the way he should. And his answers to your questions didn't nothing but tell you this was real. Never in a million lifetimes would you say he would be capable of doing this, or rather going through with it. You asked to leave and he said no.
You wanted to be there. You did anything you could to get in. You always said you'd be there for him so do it now. You love him don't you? You've never lied to him so you meant it. You love him. You don't need to leave ever. If he had to force it to happen he will.

The Slugterra movie reviews
This has been in the drafts for a while so buckle up for a longerish post
Ghoul from Beyond
Tumblr media
Ghoul from beyond was pretty cool and I liked the concept of the goon and the beginning of the Eastern caverns but the coolest part of the movie which is when Eli gets ghouled is way too short and it literally happens and is resolved in like ten minutes. But the movie for me is very nostalgic and it was a big deal when it first was advertised and when it first came out. Everyone was hyped the fuck up and I was too but watching it now it’s still fun but maybe not as exciting. Plus we get introduced to best boi Junjie. 7/10
Return of the Elementals
Tumblr media
Okay lowkey I have a lot to say about this movie that I will try to fit in here. First off we have a new member of the team: Junjie. And the gang doesn’t immediately love him and they have to work together and figure out how to incorporate a fifth person in their group. There’s so many little details that I love from the movie. For example, Blakk doesn’t immediately kill Eli and the Goon is furious with Blakk and he brings it up constantly
Then there is the second time the gang tries to cure the ghouled elementals but the gang doesn’t know that the Goon took two of them, so when Kord finds this out he tells him tell Eli. Junjie clearly can’t get to Eli in time so he tries to stop Blakk himself. Obviously this doesn’t work and Pronto goes to tell Eli who is pissed. Normally, I would hate this misunderstanding trope because they happen so frequently in media and it’s just so annoying. But in ROTE the stakes are so high so when you see the Goon and Blakk switch the slugs and they try the plan again you’re like oh shit this is not gonna work. Plus Junjie not following orders again might make Eli question him again.
Also Will comes back!! And we get the most heart wrenching scene of Eli running up to the hole that his dad jump in literally screaming for his father only to be pulled away literally seconds before he jumps in. Also can’t forget Blakk’s darkbane form and the reveal of his new form is literally so fucking cool. Also the dialogue is great like when Kord screaming “does it look like I know slug fu” 10/10
Slug fu Showdown
Tumblr media
Honestly four points go to high Eli alone 😅 Which I literally made a post about. But anyway on a serious note I’m so disappointed about this movie. Literally it has the coolest premise which is Eli learning slug fu which is what everyone wanted him to learn the first time we saw Junjie do it. And don’t get me wrong Junjie teaching Eli slug fu is the best part of the movie. I also love that not only is Eli learning from Junjie, but Junjie is learning from Eli like how he learns to name his slug because of him. I love the dynamic that the two of them have. And it’s a constant thing for Eli and Junjie to learn and grow from each other. That literally sounds so queer but it’s true 😅
But other than the the rest of the gang really have nothing to do. Instead they are going around chasing the elementals around because every villian and their mom knows about the elementals and wants their power or something like that. And I know it’s so stupid that they figured it out because Pronto was on like national television but I think it’s funny that Pronto was the one they interviewed and not like literally anyone else in the gang. It is nice to see Sedo and the Hooligang again they’re pretty cool villains 
Speaking of villains I have to talk about the villains in this movie. I honestly can’t remember his name and I’m too lazy to look it up but his plan to use the elementals to like destroy Slugterra because they would hit like the fault lines?? Like I don’t get it and it’s clear he was just added so Eli can just learn slug fu. I do think it’s really funny how the only way for Eli to learn slug fu is like under pressure because he’s like really resourceful. Like boy literally had to learn when the world was at stake and all of his friends are just standing around like staring at him. Like it just all felt way too fast. I know we watched him struggle but it just happened so fast. And I love Eli but this is a common theme with him in the later seasons. He kinda becomes a gary stu but you didn’t hear it from me 😅 5/10
Eastern Caverns
Tumblr media
So I honestly didn’t know that the next two were considered movies but according to the Wikipedia they are so I’m going to count them. Next up is Eastern Caverns. I would definitely say it’s probably closer to 4 episodes that connected to each other than a movie but whatever. The concept of the Eastern Caverns is so cool but initially I was a little worried they would be like a little racist because I’m pretty sure most of the writers for Slugterra were white but they weren’t. The bar is so low 😅
I mean some of the stuff I was like a little 😬 like Pronto clearly dressing up in drag for shits and giggles and them talking about Chi but it’s stuff that I feel has been seen in Western media before. Plus this came out in like 2015 almost a whole decade ago 👀
But anyway most of the movie is them trying to get their slugs back and trying to gain the trust of the people of the Eastern Caverns after Junjie destroyed it for 20 years!! Which 20 years is just crazy. Like how old is Junjie technically supposed to be then like 35!!
But anyway they finally get into the place which is definitely the coolest part of the movie but then my one problem comes into play which is mostly a problem with Eli for me in the Eastern Caverns story line. They just make him so beefed up. Not literally but he has like so many skills under his belt like trick shots, fusion shots, slug fu, whatever the fuck he does with Burpy and they just write it off as well he’s so connected to the slugs that’s why which is just so dumb and lazy. And he just figures out slug fu because slug fu is connected to chi and chi is like the slinger code???? Like Eli I have never heard of this code you are talking about. But honestly deep down I don’t really care because I love Eli too much 😂
Also like I am so disappointed they used so many old models from the old 99 caverns but it’s Slugterra what are you gonna do. Like they couldn’t put a little bit of budget into making new background characters. And don’t even get me started on the Dai Fu. Overall I would give it a 7/10
The Emperor’s Revenge
Tumblr media
Another “movie” despite me not remembering it as one when it came out. Maybe it was considered one later on for marketing who knows. What I do know is that is has the coolest fucking intro I have ever seen with all the Shane gang walking out of the hideout looking all badass and then introducing the voice actors with the statue of the emperor in the back is so freaking cool
I will say that the word movie is kinda a loose term here as like with the last “movie” since it’s very obvious it’s just 4 episodes combined into one which I don’t know why they did that in the first place but whatever. So bizarre
First off the first episode err I mean part is about how Junjie became the dark slinger and the background of Yang vs the Emperor. It’s a great episode and it has really pretty drawing to go with the story.
The second part is great too with Pronto acting brave because of the emperor’s sword and the creation on an iron warrior which the gang can’t defeat so they have to retreat which like never happens in the show. I actually liked brave Pronto it reminded me of when they made Shaggy brave from the Legend of the Phantosaur.
Also the iron warrior was created to be powered by life essence and we see the Dai Fu take Underlord Holt’s life essence on screen which seems kinda dark for this show
Then in the third part her life force is taken away by the emperor, who is back, to power up two other unstoppable warriors. I think the unstoppable warriors have a cool design and I understand why they had to reuse so many models from the old show.
But honestly the coolest thing was the reuse of the Thugglet slug which hasn’t been seen since The New Kid episodes. It’s like one of the coolest slugs in the show and they never use it
And honestly the final episode with the battle against the emperor was pretty cool. Unlike the battle against Blakk which was just the Shane gang and the shadow clan, this battle involved all the friends I guess that they met in the eastern caverns and it was pretty cool.
Plus the emperor was actually smart when following Eli and Junjie back to the hole of the deep caverns. He brought one of his unstoppable warriors with him. Also the like traumatic moment when Junjie jumps into the hole to stop the emperor from coming back up and they frame it how Will jumped in after Blakk like why you gotta do that to me Slugterra writers 😩
Overall I didn’t remember this movie at all until I watched it a couple of weeks ago but I actually really liked it. I just felt like the stakes were higher and the way they defeated the emperor was fun and creative.
The one problem I do have is about the elementals like how do the shane gang get back to the 99 without them, why did Eli even learn slug fu if he’s not gonna use the elementals to save his dad. I mean in the end the show didn’t get an ending so it’s doesn’t really matter that much 😢 Plus this was the last we see of Junjie and they never like hug him goodbye or anything but I wouldn’t except that from a boy’s cartoon anyway. No sentimentality allowed 😂 8/10 for the revenge
Into the shadows
Tumblr media
I honestly thought I was gonna hate this movie because everyone else hated it when it came out in 2016. I know it was all because of Tad and how many plot holes he brings but (please don’t kill me) I like him. 
Sure he’s pulls the exact same thing as twist (rip a real one) but what makes me like him is that he’s from the surface and Eli clearly bonds with him over that especially since it’s revealed that Eli had such a horrible life on the surface after his dad went MIA and that Tad did too. Kinda interesting that they both escaped their horrible realities to live in a fantasy world but I digress. And don’t even get me started on the scene of Will wishing Eli a happy birthday. I’m still crying 😭 
But yeah the vibe I got from Tad and Eli was that they were like brothers. I mean Tad literally said surface bros. With Twist his betrayal was worst but I feel like we really didn’t see him and Eli bond personally. Twist was kinda just like Eli’s yes man. Just constantly hyping him up and just being like yeah I totally name my slugs and if Eli thinks it’s good than I think it’s good. Literally sucking his d*ck. What who said that!? 
It was also pretty cool seeing how much Eli has grown from the show from newbie to teaching someone of slugterra himself. Also how excited he gets when he goes “I know right” clearly happy that he found something to relate to. Maybe I’ll make a long post on tad and how he’s not as bad as people thought he was as a character. 8/10 only one point higher than Ghoul from Beyond because of that beautiful fucking animation. Everything has this like gold tinge to it and I really like it. It makes everything just pop. But again 8/10 sorry everyone who hated it 😅
Final List
Return of the Elementals
Into the Shadows (pls don’t kill me 😅)
Emperor’s Revenge
Ghoul from Beyond/Eastern Cavern
Slug Fu Showdown

You know what saddens me abt ‘12?
The fact that they had the coolest villians who could have an amazing story that either redeimed them or turned them worse.
But as soon as they mutated they became absolute dumbasses.
Ivan steranko
Xever Montez
Hell even Baxter Stockman
THEY COULD HAVE BEEN SO COOL AND NOW ITS JUST BLEH
I feel like rahzar has redeemed Chris Bradford a bit but come ooonnn

"First thing to know about being a super hero is it isn't about having the coolest tech or getting fans. It's about doing what's right and helping those who can't help themselves. It's really dangerous, but I learned that it doesn't matter if your the biggest or the strongest hero. If you use your head you can find a way to find any villians weakness and win."

Hobie brown x reader
Tumblr media
not my GIF!
This my first ever story; one shot and it’s long
Y/n POV:
‘I have been spider woman for about 5 years fighting along side Miguel O’Hara sure he’s a lil cold and nonchalant and sometimes annoying but me and him are friends’ I have taken a break from the spider society for about 3 FUCKING YEARS ..Miguel said take as long as you want so I did! I still call him sometimes when he’s not so busy being busy. And just like 59mins ago I was enjoying my short vacation until when Miguel called and said he needs me back here doing my job so yeah’.
3rd POV:
Miguel called y/n to help him with a villian that appeared in y/n’s dimension that didn’t belong there and since it was hers, she had to get involved. As he was in the middle of his speech a portal opens up next to him.
He knew it was Y/n……..SO TYPICAL OF HER OFC SHE WOULD INTERRUPT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS SPEECH!
She walks from the portal and sees miguel
Y/n greets him with a slight smile and a gift bag of a bracelet she made for him, “ Hola! Miguel como estas ? I missed you…You look great!” Giving him the gift “ Here I got u a lil something open it later…” As she turns around she finally notices everyone seeing new and familiar faces.. SHE SEES PETER B. PARKER WITH A BABY!?!?
She jumps off the platform where Miguel was standing and goes to greet Peter b, “ Peter You have a baby?? She’s cute ” Mayday smiles at y/n and jumps to her and y/n is in complete awe. Peter smiles and says “ YEAH she mayday i have some pictures on my phone wanna see! We have so much to catch up on y/n…meet my friends” he leads y/n to where miles and Gwen were standing. “ so y/n this is miles morales he is the coolest kid you would ever meet like ever everything you see him do when fighting wouldn’t want to brag but I taught him that!…and this is Gwen she super cool too.” Gwen says hello and tells Peter b,” wow thank you Peter.” Peter just smiles at Gwen.
Miles sees you and smiles,” Hey Y/n I like your suit looks very cool” y/n says” made it myself” Miguel cleared his throat and everyone went back to paying attention to miguel.
“Y/n I was in the middle of explaining the mission ” Miguel said. Y/n went back to Miguel’s platform and stood besides him. “Yeah sorry about that my bad go on dear” she said with a light smile.
Here is something to know about y/n she’s usually pretty much like Miguel just a lil slightly happier? She and Miguel are like pretty much the 2 ‘unfunny’ spider people….Y/n is secretly funny it’s just that she sort of looks up to Miguel as a friend and mentor. She’s pretty tall but not tall enough to go pass Miguel’s shoulders she has some dope piercings and like miles said a dope suit! It’s likes Miguel but black and white.
“Yeah we were just excited about y/n” Peter said , “ also I forgot the guy over there is Hobie he’s a great guy 😁”. Hobie waves at y/n as he’s walking over to where miles, Gwen, and Peter are. Y/n not wanting to really disrupt Miguel just nods her head and clearing her throat and nodding to miguel to continue.
Hobie observed her. He also agreed with miles her suit was cool and her piercing made her look good her h/l and h/c suited her perfectly he observed that wasn’t really much of a smiling robot and that she was very close to miguel. Are they together or something? He was hoping he talk to her after Miguel’s speech…
I am going to edit it again…see ya
send me any requests or comments!!!😜

My one and only dream is for Billy to grow up in the League, he'd be the coolest guy and a legend.
He's just always chilling in his human form in the Hall or Tower and everyone has gotten used to the regular guy in the corner, kinda like a house plant, when Villians break in and evidently get jumped by some random 17 year old and no one believes em at all cause he's still scrawny.
I got kinda offended talking to my boyfriend last night because he was saying how Billy growing up defeats the point of his character, takes from the charm of a boy turning into an adult hero. But in the hands of a good author, I think it could be quite a beautiful story.
Billy grows up with the League, he's not there from the beginning but is there as it gets its legs under it and becomes a universal powerhouse. He's the JLA's darling, the unofficial little brother/psuedo-son/kid cousin that the members in the know just love and appreciate having around. They save lives every day but there's something about watching a life you helped save grow up alongside you, watching Billy go from a skinny but chubby cheeked 12 to a knock kneed, squeaky voiced teen to a confident young adult.
I imagine there is something deeply personal and fulfilling about that. For all the wrongs JLAers have done, they ensured Billy got to grow up. Because, as a streetkid without family, I bet there were times where Billy couldn't imagine making it to adulthood. That sheer sense of victory, of resilience, it makes me emotional.
Billy's 18th is a huge affair. Everyone's grinning, clapping him on the back or shaking his hand. And Bill is flipping Hal off with one hand while having a detailed conversation with Clark about his thoughts on schooling. He'd do online, community college classes while still acting as Marvel. I always envision his radio career is more of a hobby than a career, something he does for fun in an attempt to feel helpful even outside the cape and tights. Am I only one who thinks he'd be great as a counselor of sorts, helping troubled kids or even a social worker? Billy has some deep wells of compassion and wisdom that didn't come from the Wizard and I think he could make great use of it.
I always envision Bill has massive magical potential since he's so closely connected to the rock of eternity. He's trained enough to be useful in a fight outside of Marvel if need be but not much else. Even as a mortal, he has enough power to challenge the world's strongest sorcerers if only he tried. But he prefers doing things himself, he doesnt want to forget even as Billy how to be human. But so help some poor mugger who things the skinny young adult is easy pickings...
He remains skinny, a perpetually weakened immune system and slight frame a hallmark of his years on the street without proper nutrition and healthcare. He gets tattoos, tries and fails to get into reading like his dead best friend (who comes back a villain and almost shatters Bill), learns to cook and loves making food for his friends, he volunteers at shelters and soup kitchens because he will never forget that hunger, he tells adult jokes at League meetings and delights in their uncomfortable faces.
I just, in a way it's not fair that Billy hasn't been allowed to grow up. To say that he peaked at 10-12 when he was small, weak, beaten down by life. But there are good, meaningful stories to be told in the Peter Pan like boy rising from exhausting circumstances to find contentment, understanding and a fresh start in the way that only time can provide.

What if Gotham villians went to the Met Gala
but just my favorite Batman villians + Bruce
Bruce Wayne: Alfred chose his costume, you'd think he would be too formal and subdued, but nope, he fits to the theme perfectly.
Catwoman: Selina always sneaks out and steals something from the exposition. (he goes as Bruce's girlfriend, it's a secret identity, always a different one and that's the reason why Bruce being a playboy is so widely accepted by Gotham citizens even if he's very clearly an asocial autistic emo)
The Penguin - Oswald Cobblepot (Gotham) : - He as a good sugar daddy payed for Eddie's invitation
-it's his opportunity to show his favorite designer clothes and he absolutely adores to show off.
-He brought his mom with him too, he probably casually murders a celebrity for insinuating his moms dress is ugly
The Riddler - Edward Nygma (Gotham)
-THE MOST CAMP DRESS YOU CAN IMAGINE, IT'S FLAMBOYANT, IT'S UGLY, AND WE LOVE IT - sadly noone knows who he is so noone pays him the attention he deserves
-Everybody thinks he's not going with the theme but it's just that the concept behind it is so convoluted that only him could explain it, asking him is a horrible idea since he'll just endlessly ramble about the symbolism. Probably in riddles too.
The Riddler (The Batman 2022)
-One of his Patreons bought him the ticket
-He comes with one of those incredibly specific t-shirts like "nothing like being an autistic orphan born in 1997 that was left out by the social care system and has a thing for collecting vintage cards and maybe murdering the wealthy and a pshychosexual parasocial relationship with a weird goth man but also really likes pumpkin pie"
-He probably comes with his real life size waifu plush (Batman)
-He could have dressed properly if he had wanted to but he's too much of a racoon to do it.
The Mad Hatter - Jervis Tetch:
-It doesn't really fit with the theme but he has the coolest hat possible, honestly his costumes are actually kind of an eldritch nightmare, you don't know what is supposed to be or represent, they are very flamboyant though, high fashion style. (if it's the Gotham version he somehow looks hot af wearing it)
The Scarecrow - Jonathan Crane
I mean he tried i think, he put some effort :)
+5 points for being the scarecrow
His costumes are also an Eldritch nightmare but not in a camp way
