Batman: Rogues' Gallery 3

I've got another collection of not so familiar bat-villains today.

Red Hood


Red Hood (not to be confused with Red Hood) is a villain from Batman's earlier career, and is a strong contender to have become the Joker following a bat-related industrial accident. He wears a red glass dome which I painted gloss. His gang wear anonymising masks, and are ordinary Gothamites blackmailed into participating. None of them know each other's identity.

Solomon Grundy

This incredibly hulking figure is a simple soul who lives in Gotham's sewers. He is often coerced into crime by villains who need some muscle for a job.

Deadshot

The deadly mercenary marksman with gun-gauntlets.

Ratcatcher

The creepiest thing (and there are many) about Ratcatcher is his fingerless gloves. Fingerless!

Killer Moth

Killer Moth was a, well, colourful baddie from the Silver Age (~1955-1970ish). He's been re-envisioned as a bit more grounded, but still using gas and compressed air weapons. He's still far from a top tier baddie.

Firefly


This pyromaniac carries off the insect schtick better than Killer Moth- a better name, mostly.

  1. Nice! It would be difficult for me to pick a favourite. Anyway, I'd like to point out the wonderful B/W work on Solomon Grundy, which works perfectly!
