The Masterminds are a confederation of criminal elements that collectively rule most of Gotham, having seized up most of the power that was once held by Carmine Falcone and Sal Maroni. The Masterminds are mostly free to run their own operation as they see fit but meet together as needed to work through internal disputes or conduct other business.

The Joker

^{Click for Civilian Look}

The Joker, Clown Prince of Crime, is Batman's known arch-nemesis. An agent of chaos known for his malicious plots, wacky gadgets and insidious smile, he has caused Batman more suffering than any other villain he has ever faced.

---

• Acquired Poison Immunity: Based on his daughter Lucy's immunity to Joker Venom inherited from him, it's very likely he coded the Venom to his own genetic code, making him immune to it.
• Arch-Enemy: As always, no one has caused Batman more personal pain than the Clown Prince of Crime.
• Ax-Crazy: One of his main characteristics is his willingness to psycho on anyone, including his own henchmen.
• Bad Boss: Willing to casually kill his own henchmen for any reason, be it part of a plan, for amusement, or simply on a whim.
• Berserk Button: The Joker loves it when people laugh with him, whether genuine or not, but if someone laughs at him, they're most likely already dead.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: The Joker breaks the fourth wall occasionally. For example, He addressed the writer of the story, and sometimes seems perfectly aware of his status as a comic book villain. He also displays a certain amount of Medium Awareness, by handling his own speech text or talking to the camera. This is likely part of the idea his insanity has allowed him to become aware of things other people don't realize.
• Cop Killer: Sometimes police officers are among the Joker's victims.
• The Corrupter: His insanity can be highly contagious.
• Critical Psychoanalysis Failure: Happens frequently, though this may be an indication of the competence of the staff at Arkham. One such time was with Dr. Harleen Quinzel, who bought his story hook, line and sinker and declared him sane, then broke him out of Arkham and started dating him. (Of course, her exact analysis was that he was utilizing Obfuscating Insanity and it's implied that she was actually right, so perhaps she was the only good doctor at Arkham after all...)
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Insanity aside, sometimes the Joker's plans and methods are so out there they just seem stupid. Despite appearances, he's usually very cunning, and always very dangerous.
• Deadly Prank: He generally considers murdering someone for a joke to be morally no different than putting a whoopie cushion on their chair.
• The Dreaded: Easily one of the most feared villains in the entire DC universe.
• Even Evil Has Standards: The Joker thinks he's uncontrollably insane, and wants the Creeper to get away from him, so it's more like "Even Insanity Has Standards".
• Evil Genius: Though rarely the focus of his character, Joker is usually an extremely gifted chemist, constantly creating new and better versions of his signature laughing gas. He's also (unsurprisingly) a skilled planner on par with Batman himself, in addition to being extremely charismatic and manipulative when he wants to be.
• Evil Is Hammy: Well, where's the fun in having inhibitions?
• Evil Laugh: He is the archetypical example of the first type of exception (The Joker is also a bona-fide psycho and a Monster Clown, prone to impressive cackling).
• Evil Mentor: The Joker has corrupted many other people into becoming villains themselves, with Harley Quinn just being the most famous example.
• Evil Is Petty: Joker truly sees no difference between throwing cream pies, robbing a museum, and wanton mass-murder. To him, it's all just part of the joke.
• Facial Horror: His iconic "perma-clown" appearance (the green hair, chalk-white skin, and most of the time, red lips) is the result of being submerged in a tank of chemicals.
• Fame Through Infamy: He's practically built a career on crimes designed more to spread his infamy than anything else. Perhaps his true illness is that he is an Attention Whore through and through...
• For the Evulz: The usual motives of the Joker.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: Whether he was in fact a failing stand-up comedian or a two-bit criminal in the beginning, his One Bad Day turned him from Joe Blue Collar Average into a horrific monstrosity that frightens other villains.
• It Amused Me: His raison d'etre. Why kill people in horrific ways, ruin their lives, and generally make the entire universe a worse place than he left it? Because it's funny.
• Joker Immunity: The Trope Codifier.
• Luke, I Might Be Your Father: There's a strong possibility he's the father of Lonnie Machin/Anarky, and it's also likely that he's the brother of Vicki Vale.
• Monster Clown: He's a good representative of everything scary about clowns.
• Multiple-Choice Past: No one, not even the Joker himself, are quite sure what's his true origin, although Joker seems convinced it only took "one bad day" for him to become who he is.
• The Nicknamer: He's prone to giving nicknames to allies and enemies alike. Sometimes affectionate, sometimes snarky, but always undesired. Calling Batman "Batsy" or "Bats" and Robin "boy blunder" are probably his most iconic.
• Only Known By His Nickname: He's only known as The Joker, or "J" / "Mr. J".
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: A general rule of thumb: If the Joker isn't smiling, something very bad is about to happen.
• Pass the Popcorn: Usually goes to the Masterminds' meetings to entertain himself, sometimes with actual popcorn.
• Poisonous Captive: He talked his psychiatrist Harleen Quinzel into becoming Harley Quinn while still in Arkham.
• Purple Is Powerful: Purple is one of Joker's three colors (along with white and green) and he is powerful.
• Rogues' Gallery Transplant: He's primarily Batman's Arch-Enemy and mainly harasses Batman and most members of the Bat-family. But there is the rare occasion when he goes up against other heroes like Superman, Wonder Woman, or Green Arrow.
• Secondary Color Nemesis: His signature purple coat, green hair and orange vest.
• Slasher Smile: He wears one almost by default.
• The Sociopath: A skilled and gleeful manipulator, a vicious butcher who brutally tortures and murder others simply because he thinks it's funny, extraordinarily impulsive given that he’s prone to turning his murderous urges on his own men on a whim or because one upset him in some way, shape or form, and has not even the vaguest notion of empathy, neither for his men or his victims.
• Stalker with a Crush: The Joker seems to have a certain fondness for Vicki Vale and has never intentionally hurt her, even going so far as to shoot one of his men who bruised her face while kidnapping her. Also, while incarcerated at Arkham, Joker writes letters to Vicki. She passes them off to Bruce for analysis into Joker's psychological state. They are, surprisingly, not that deranged and seem actually quite mundane.
• Would Hurt a Child: He killed Jason Todd while the boy was an underage minor.

Penguin (Oswald Cobblepot)

^{Click for Civilian Look}

Intelligent, rich and sophisticated; Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot puts up a gentlemanly front, but behind closed doors he is the angered, power hungry criminal known as The Penguin.

---

• Acrofatic: Pretty quick for someone so rotund.
• Arms Dealer: If there's one thing Penguin is protective of, is his control over all weapons' traffic in Gotham.
• Badass Normal: He might be short and portly, but he's an expert fencer and marksman.
• Bad Boss: Despite being overall much more sane and composed than the other Batman rogues, he will not hesitate to brutally murder and abuse his minions at the slightest transgression.
• Classy Cane: Or Classy Umbrella in any case. He's rarely seen without one. He will use his umbrella as a cane to help him walk sometimes.
• Composite Character: Not precisely himself but his family, which originate from different continuities:
  • Tucker is his father in the Post-Crisis and New 52, but Miranda is the name of the mother in Post-Crisis. In New 52 her name is Esther, who becomes his aunt instead.
  • Jason, William and Robert are his brothers in New 52.
  • Millie Jane was a girl who lived in Gotham in the 19th century in the Gotham Academy.
  • His ancestor Theodore Cobblepot is a character in Gotham Underground.
• The Engineer: He's a gifted engineer who usually makes his umbrellas and other mechanisms himself when not delegating the job to his employees to save time and uses his devices in his schemes.
• Embarrassing Nickname: Ozzie, Pengers, Pengy and Sardine Breath.
• Evil Cripple: Has a significant limp and is one of the many ruthless crimelords of Gotham and one of Batman's most persistent foes.
• Evil Debt Collector: More Apathetic than evil. Not long after graduating college and prior to officially becoming a criminal, Cobblepot was unable to make a required payment because his mother's long illness had run up enormous debts, and everything in his store including the birds who were Oswald's only companions were seized by creditors.
• Fat Bastard: He's usually portrayed as fairly portly.
• Freudian Excuse: Teased and bullied by other children and rejected both at school and his family's wealthy circle for his appearance, lonely socially-awkward little Oswald, despite yearning for human company, turned to his mother's pet birds as his only friends because they wouldn't judge the strange-looking misfit. His overbearing mother, the only one to show him affection, suffers a stroke and became invalid, leaving him with a great deal of debt that sent their holdings into foreclosure and he loses everything he had clung to for security, the prosperity, the pets, even the birds get repossessed. Cobblepot, strapped for cash, went to a known criminal and his confederates, and offered his services, only to be kicked out and mocked for his appearance.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: The Penguin was little more than an unpopular child who was teased by other kids because of his appearance. When his mother died, her long illness costing him so much that the bank foreclosed on the family business, he turned to crime, only to be mocked by criminals too. This caused him to find some backbone that he never realized he had, stand up for himself by taking over a criminal gang by force, and eventually become one of Batman's greatest enemies.
• Hidden Depths: Unsurprisingly for someone themed after a bird, he's an expert ornithologist.
• High-Class Glass: His signature monocle. He's so used to it he squints when he doesn't have it.
• I Have Many Names: Abner Boniface, Matthew Richardson, Ron Cey, The Blackbird of Banditry, the Buccaneer of Birds, The Foul-Feathered Fowl, The Gentleman of Crime, The Grotesque Bird of Ill-Omen, Patient #61992, The Pedantic Patriarch of Predators, Lord Cobblepot.
• Improbable Weapon User: Umbrellas. It also serves as a metaphor for the Penguin's character and nature.
• Related in the Adaptation: Through his late mother Miranda Cobblepot, he's the first cousin of Unity Kinkaid-Walker. He's also Ignatius Ogilvy's father.
• Sinister Schnoz: His signature pointy, beak-like nose.
• Wicked Pretentious: As is usual for the character, he's a violent thug who wears fancy clothes and runs an upscale nightclub.
• You Need a Breath Mint: Thanks to his love of eating sardines.

The Riddler (Edward Nygma)

See The Legion of Doom page

Two-Face (Harvey Dent)

^{Click for Civilian Look}

Formerly the D.A. of Gotham City, Harvey Dent was a friend of Bruce until he had acid thrown onto the left side of his face by the Joker, scarring him for life. The incident drove Harvey insane and he became Two-Face, obsessed with chance and always carrying a double-headed coin, which he flips to determine his every decision.

---

• Arch-Enemy: Batman sees him, with good cause, as his greatest failure, a point that Two-Face enjoys rubbing in.
• Ax-Crazy: In terms of being completely unpredictable; he can switch from a vicious but well-meaning antihero to a sadistic psychopath at any given moment. All it takes is one coin flip.
• Badass Normal: Despite being one of Batman's most prominent villains, Two-Face doesn't actually have any special powers.
• Beauty to Beast: As one side of his face shows, he was handsome before the acid incident.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: Downplayed in that he understands society's standards of good and evil, but whether he chooses to act on either is decided by leaving it to random chance. As in, flipping a coin. For the most part though, even his "good" acts are pretty rough around the edges.
• Diabolical Mastermind: Two-Face is a very clever opponent. He often comes up with cunning plans to achieve his goals and he has also shown some degree of skill as a detective.
• Dice Roll Death: His modus operandi is the use of a coin flip to determine his actions, which can include whether to murder someone or not.
• Duality Motif: Ever since he became Two-Face, he's been obsessed with duality as seen in his outfits. In Arkham he even damages his prison suit on one side to replicate that duality. He also damaged half of his cell for this reason. His being in a polyamorus relationship with Sugar and Spice is the result of said obsession.
• Facial Horror: Currently supplies his bio's image.
• Fallen Hero: Used to be district attorney and fairly good one too.
• Freudian Excuse: Being beaten as a child by his father. In fact, this is where his coin came from in the first place, as his father wouldn't beat him if he got tails.
• Guns Akimbo: Much less than you'd think, but still there occasionally.
• Heads or Tails?: A coin-flip is his villain gimmick.
• Heads, Tails, Edge: He constantly gets screwed over by this trope.
  • Sometimes justified: Batman had replaced it with a weighted coin when he wasn't looking.
• Insanity Defense: Being compelled to follow the flip of his coin, he is one of the few Bat-villains to meet the real-life qualifications for it to work, via the irresistible impulse defense.
• Jack of All Stats: When it comes to Batman villains, he occupies that solid "middle ground" in terms of abilities. He's a fairly big strong guy around Bruce's size and is stronger than the likes of Joker, Penguin, or Riddler, but he lacks the sheer brute superhuman power of Killer Croc, Bane, or Clayface. He can be a decent brawler, and can occasionally learn some martial arts in some stories, when he wants to be but isn't in the same skill league as Hush, Ra's al-Ghul, or Lady Shiva. His marksmanship is also solid but both Deathstroke and Deadshot far surpass him in this field. While he's a master of none, his above average abilities in all these fields, combined with Bruce's guilt over Harvey's transformation, keeps him in the running as one of Batman's most dangerous foes.
• The Mentally Disturbed: Two-Face is one of the few Batman villains to be genuinely sick.
• Polyamory: Harvey is in an polyamorous relationship with his lieutenants Spice and Sugar.
• Reluctant Psycho: Harvey Dent is one of the only inmates in Arkham who is actually trying to rehabilitate himself rather than treating Arkham as a second home. Unfortunately, Two-Face isn't open to rehabilitation since he knows it will kill him. Harvey's efforts always end in failure and tears.
• Shadow Archetype: He mirrors Batman's origin and obsession with double identities.
• Tragic Monster: Played for Drama. Harvey's descent into villainy legitimately isn't his fault, and he's repeatedly shown trying to get out of Two-Face's shadow, only to fall in.
• Tragic Villain: His fall from grace is the end result of one tragedy that allowed his repressed mental-issues to boil over his mind broke.
• Two-Faced: He serves as the Trope Namer as well as the Trope Codifier.
• Two-Headed Coin: Harvey Dent uses one of these, but then one side gets scratched up, making it back into a fair coin. Its emotional/symbolic significance to Two-Face makes it a #1 Dime as well.
• We Used to Be Friends: He and Bruce were once childhood friends and he was an ally of Batman, but now he's one of its most dangerous criminals.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Harvey Dent used to be a legitimately heroic character. But, a string of bad luck has turned him into a monster who lashes out at the world that has hurt him so badly.
• Wrath: Two-Face's scarred side is rage personified.

Black Mask (Roman Sionis)

^{Click for Civilian Look}

A ruthless Gotham mob boss and leader of the False Face Society, known for his extreme hatred for Bruce Wayne and sadistic talent for torturing his victims.

---

• Badass in a Nice Suit: His trademark white fancy business suit.
• Bad Boss: He regularly beats or kills his own henchmen for little to no reason. It makes one wonder who would still want to work for him.
• Color Character: Black Mask.
• Does Not Like Women: He's noticeably and considerably nastier to his female victims than his male ones, not that he treats them particularly well.
• He-Man Woman Hater: Really, really loves torturing women. That's not to say that he doesn't also do it to men (because he does), but when he does it to women, he does it with a special zeal and plenty of comments evocative of this sentiment.
• Knight of Cerebus: When he's not being Laughably Evil, he's among the darkest of Batman's foes.
• Made of Iron: Part of what makes him an effective hand-to-hand combatant. He's definitely not as skilled as Batman or Catwoman, but he's a big man who can hit hard and take a lot of punishment.
• Malevolent Masked Men: Loves his mask, and loves to kill people.
• Mugging the Monster: Thought he could easily kidnap, torture and kill Maximilian Stavropoulos during the Cataclysm, only for the newly awakened Maxie Zeus to turn the tables on him, torturing him in return. The only reason he survived the encounter was due to the power grid being cut off. Since then he has never attempted to encroach on Zeus' territory.
• Shadow Archetype: Similar to Hush, Black Mask is a Bruce Wayne who suffered from poor parenting and ran his own company into the ground. He's a millionaire who became an extremely violent masked crime lord rather than a moderately violent masked vigilante, and he relies more on his natural hidden talents as a criminal than on years of hard work and study
• Torture Technician: Loves to torture his victims.
• Villain in a White Suit: Has a white business suit and he's one ruthless and dangerous mobster.

Alexandra Kosov

A crime boss in Gotham City who runs the Odessa mob. She lost an eye at some point but is easily recognizable by the distinctive blue gem in her eye socket.

---

• The Dragon: Serves as Sionis' right-hand lieutenant.

• Improbable Aiming Skills: Alexandra is able to shoot perfectly aimed shoots at small objects like ropes with extraordinary precision.
• Mafia Princess: She became the leader of the Odessa Mob after her father's death.
• The Queenpin: She is the head of the Odessa mob family.
• Villain in a White Suit: Dresses in white and she's an enforcer of Black Mask.

Ignatius Ogilvy

• Bastard Bastard: He's Cobblepot's illegitimate son, and just as evil as his father.
• The Dragon: For Cobblepot, being his son and closest enforcer.
• Enfante Terrible: When he was only ten years old, he shot and crippled Quentin Lance when he had pulled over his father's car.
• Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has a scar across his left eye, which he covers with his monocle.
• High-Class Glass: Another trait he shares with Penguin.
• Improbable Weapon User: Just like his boss Penguin is the use of umbrellas.
• It's Personal: Dinah Lance would love to make him suffer for crippling her father Quentin Lance.
• Missing Mom: His mother died in the Manhattaning.
• Related in the Adaptation: He's The Penguin's bastard son.

• Color Animal Codename: He goes by the Great White Shark moniker.

• Fingore: The frostbite also took six fingertips, forcing him to get prosthetic fingers.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: Went from The Chew Toy for all the other Arkham inmates to one of the most influent mob bosses in Gotham City after his transformation.
• Good Scars, Evil Scars: He has a lot of scars since his days in Arkham, the more noticeable being those on his neck who looks like gills, courtesy of Killer Croc.
• Lip Losses: Lost his lips due to frostbite.
• Pragmatic Villainy: He's considered the most profitable of all the Masterminds, being mostly focused in being a Corrupt Corporate Executive.

Tally Man

• Badass in a Nice Suit: His white Tuxedo suit.
• The Dragon: He's Warren White's right hand man.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: His real name is unknown.
• Scary Black Man: He's an assassin with dark skin.
• Villain in a White Suit: Wears a white tuxedo and is an assassin working for Warren White.

The Laugh Pack

In General

• Ax-Crazy: In general, they are murderous and psychotic, like their idol.
• Beware the Silly Ones: They are a gang that dresses like clowns, uses gag and gimmicky weaponry, and work for one of the most dangerous criminals in the entirety of Gotham.
• Bright Is Not Good: They all dress like clowns, most of them in bright colors, yet they're one of the most dangerous gangs in Gotham.

Harley Quinn (Harleen Quinzel)

See the A.R.G.U.S. and Task Force X page

Hellequin (Marian Drews)

^{Click for Civilian Look}

The second Harley Quinn, Marian Drews has adopted the Hellequin persona as a means of attracting the Joker back to her side once more.

---

• Acquired Poison Immunity: Her proximity to the Joker has caused her to develop an immunity to Joker Venom.
• Adaptational Badass: In Batman: White Knight, was just an unstable banker before she met the Joker. In Earth 27, she's a former soldier and member of A.R.G.U.S.
• Adaptational Villainy: White Knight!Marian didn't appear to have a criminal history before she met the Joker. Earth 27!Marian however had attacked two exes and an ex's new partner and was arrested twice.
• Adaptation Name Change: Instead of going by Harley Quinn or Neo Joker, she's Hellequinn, to differentiate herself from the original Harley.
• Affably Evil: Much like Harley, she's not that much of a bad person when separated from the Joker.
• Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Both her costume and civilian outfits shows her navel, and she's surprisingly girly.
• Batter Up!: Her weapon of choice is a baseball bat.
• Becoming the Mask: Waller sent her to seduce the Joker to find a nuke and she fell for him instead.
• Bling-Bling-BANG!: Hellequin's gun is is a bit over sized, both for comedic effect and to pack a ridiculously massive caliber bullet. It ain't called "The Last Laugh" for nothing!
• Canon Immigrant: She's originally from Batman: White Knight.
• Composite Character: Hellequin's real name is Marian Drews, the Neo Joker of Batman: White Knight who's the narrative for the current and controversial interpretation of Harley Quinn in the New 52, Rebirth, DCEU, and to an extent the Arkham games.
• Design Preservation Villain: Like in White Knight, she exists to serve as a replacement for Harley Quinn, being the new dragon for The Joker, while Harley becomes an Anti-Hero.
• The Dragon: She's second in command of the Laugh Pack.
• Evil Mentor: She's The Mentor of Dee Dee, Dottie, Yo-Yo and Bianca Steeplechase.
• Foil: Marian and Harley are both Joker's Unwitting Pawns while Harleen is the first (and real) Harley Quinn and Marian the second (and "Fake") Harley. Marian wields a baseball bat while Harley uses a giant mallet. She wears red and blue Hot Topic clothing while Harley uses red and black jester motif. Also, Harley's bisexual and Marian's heterosexual.
• Girlish Pigtails: Another deliberate choice to imitate Harley.
• Gone Horribly Right: Amanda Waller wanted someone capable of turning into Harley Quinn to gain the Joker's trust, well, she got it.
• Honorary Aunt: Thanks to a case of Mistaken Identity, she ended up becoming this to Dee Dee.
• Of Corsets Sexy: Her costume featured a tiny, barely closed corset.
• Perky Female Minion: Takes over as this from Harley.
• Related in the Adaptation: She's the maternal aunt of Megan "Meg" Boyer, the current host of Loma Shade a.k.a Shade the Changing Girl in Earth-27.
• Replacement Goldfish: Deliberately one of Harley Quinn. Waller decided to use Hellequin in place of Harley Quinn for deployments of the Suicide Squad and Secret Six. Many of the operatives didn't notice the switch until they had already grown fond of this new Harley. But there was one who was none thrilled by this new clown on the block. The O.G. Harley Quinn came out of hiding with Poison Ivy and Catwoman at her side. The Gotham City Sirens had decided that Joker's abandonment of Harley for a younger model was the last straw.
• Self-Harm: She developed a habit of cutting her wrists to relieve stress after a failed suicide attempt.
• Trading Bars for Stripes: After she was arrested a second time, she used her charisma to persuade the judge to let her join the army instead of serving jail time.
• Undying Loyalty: To The Joker. Though, like the Harley before her, Marian's love for Joker would wax and wane, usually coming and going based on Joker's proximity to his motley moll.
• Unholy Matrimony: Currently engaged to The Joker.
• Villainous Harlequin: Like Harley her costume and motif is based on a Harlequin.
• Yandere: After her first break-up, she took a bat to her ex's new girlfriends head and kidnapped him with his own sportscar.
• Youthful Freckles: Which help differentiate her from Harley.

Bob (Robert Hawkins)

Known as Bob the Goon, he's one of the Joker's oldest and most loyal henchmen.

---

• Acquired Poison Immunity: After an accidental overdose of Joker Venom during a heist foiled by Batman, the Caped Crusader injected Bob with his antidote, inoculating Hawkins against the effects of Joker Venom in low doses.
• Blind Obedience: Hawkins has a deep devotion to the Clown Prince of Crime. Even under torture, he will not betray the Joker, even though the Joker has often sacrificed him to the cops, the Batman, or criminal rivals to allow the clown to effect an escape. Though on some level, Hawkins might be afraid of the Joker, it's important to note that it appears as though the main basis of this unwavering loyalty stems from a strange and toxic friendship fostered between the clown and his goon.
• Canon Immigrant: He first appeared in the Batman (1989) film.
• Co-Dragons: Alongside Hellequin, Bob is the Joker's main lieutenant, even if he occasionally follows the orders of Steeplechase or J-Man.
• The Driver: Though he leaves the boosting to his subordinate clowns these days, Hawkins is often employed as the Joker's personal getaway driver and chauffeur, particularly when the Joker is traveling in one of his souped-up clown cars.
• Drugs Are Bad: Hawkins is known to work with various drug dealers, overseeing the sell and distribution of various narcotics in and around Amusement Mile. He also oversees thefts and acquisition of a variety of chemicals, most likely to be used in the creation of Joker Venom.
• The Gunslinger: Hawkins has been charged with three murders and is personally suspected in at least three times that. Transcripts of his military record indicate at least nine confirmed kills, seven of which were carried out during unauthorized operations. Most of these deaths were carried out with firearms, of which Bob is an exceptional marksman, having receiving high marks on his military record.
• In-Series Nickname: Crazy Bob, Good Old Bob, Joker's Number One Guy.
• Named by the Adaptation: His full name was never given in the movie, but here he's named Robert Hawkins.
• Not Wearing Tights: Instead of a clown costume, Bob wears a hat and a purple leather coat with the Joker's logo on it and regular pants.
• Only Sane Man: Hawkins does not dress up like a clown (though he has worn some rubber clown masks for bank robberies and other heists), nor does he engage in many of the more odd crimes that the Laugh Pack indulges in. This can cause him to quickly become the odd man out when the Joker is not around to reinforce Hawkins' place in the gang. Without the Joker, Hawkins' life is at severe risk within his own gang.
• Parental Abandonment: His father basically drank himself to death after becoming disabled, while his mother committed suicide by sleeping pills shortly after, which is what led to him joining the army and later becoming a criminal.
• The Social Expert: Hawkins has a number of criminal connections, most notable in and around Gotham City. Not only does this allow Hawkins access to a network of fences and various black market real estate, he also acts as a broker himself, selling and lending out the property of the Laugh Pack to other criminal entities for the right price.

Dee Dee (Deidre and Delia Dennis)

Deidre

Delia

Delia and Deidre Dennis are the Dee Dee Twins, they are members of the Laugh Pack and the nieces of Harley Quinn.

---

• Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Rather than Harley's granddaughters, they're her nieces, and their mentor is Marian Drews, the new Harley.
• Adaptation Species Change: In the movie they were only human, but here they're meta-humans who awakened their powers together.
• Alliterative Name: The reason they chose their moniker, since their first and last name begin with 'De'.
• Always Identical Twins: They're practically identical and move and act practically in unison all the time.
• Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: They both wear midriff-baring tube tops and are accomplished She-Fu Dark Action Girls.
• The Dividual: Although they are two individuals, Dee Dee often seems to act as though they are actually one person in two bodies. This seems to be a temporary effect of their powers, possibly triggered by adrenaline or a conscious effort to synchronize their goals.
• Hates Being Alone: These twins sisters feel very vulnerable when not in close proximity to one another. The twins often pursue the same romantic interest as a way to mitigate the risk of them ever being caught alone, and to satisfy their innate drive to protect one another.
• Hero-Worshipper: Not really hero, but they greatly admire their criminal aunt and work under Marian to show their admiration.
• Related Differently in the Adaptation: They are Harley's nieces here instead of her granddaughters.
• Related in the Adaptation: They are the illegitimate daughters of Barry Quinzel, making them Harley's nieces. Their half-brother is Danny Dennis, the owner of Rex the Wonder Dog.
• She-Fu: Much like their aunt, the twins are expert gymnasts and martial artists.
• Speak in Unison: It is not uncommon for them to converse in unison or by switching speakers mid-sentence.
• Tag Team Twins: Thanks to their mental connection, they fight the best when they're focusing on the same thing.
• Twin Threesome Fantasy: To minimize the chances of them being caught alone, they will go after the same love interest. It is believed the reason they're currently single is that they are too intense for most people.

Dottie (Dorothy Tan)

• Ace Pilot / Badass Driver: She serves as driver for the Laugh Pack, and is an excellent driver and pilot.
• Adaptational Modesty: Wears Modesty Shorts beneath her mini-dress.
• Ascended Extra: In the original series, Dottie was just one of the many Jokerz without any background (not even how she looks without make-up), but here she's closely related to a character of Beyond.
• Break the Cutie: Finding her mother dead and butchered at the very end of the Cataclysm utterly broke her, and when a man named John Doe (possibly J-Man) whispered in her ear, she became a member of the Laugh Pack.
• Cain and Abel: The Cain to her much younger sister Dana's Abel.

Ghoul (Stewart Carter Winthrop III)

• Abusive Parents: His father was a complete penny pincher who even put a number of his businesses in his son's name to defer, avoid, or ignore corporate taxes. When he turned 21, he used a shady lawyer and accountant to evict his parents from their own house.
• Adaptation Species Change: In the original series he was just a human with a scarecrow motif, but here he's a human turned into an actual ghoul.
• Animorphism: Ghouls can also assume the form of a hyena (a trait that suggests ghouls originated from Africa or the Middle East, and may explain their skittish behavior).
• Child Prodigy: Though Stewart was a truly brilliant boy, his parents did not see fit to provide him with the various resources or attention to mold that genius into something productive.
• Classy Cane: Carries one.
• Clothing Damage: Wears a torn shirt that exposes his midsection.
• Glass Cannon: He's got a glass jaw and very little tolerance for pain—provided you choose the right sort of pain to implement. He can take down dozens of bullets with little effect, but if you can dislocate just one pinky finger, this guy is crying for mercy.
• Non-Action Guy: Ghoul, despite having supernatural abilities, is actually not that difficult to deal with in a fight if you know what you're doing. The guy is a computer expert and clearly doesn't have the head of fighting.
• Our Ghouls Are Different: A group of vampires tried to turn him, but the ritual failed and he ended up reanimating as a ghoul. Ghouls are supernatural scavengers that feed on the flesh and blood of the dead. Though they can prey on the still-living, ghouls tend to be skittish and find relative safety through grave-robbing for their diet.
• Scary Scarecrows: Despite being a member of the Laugh Pack, he dresses like a scarecrow.
• The Smart Guy: He serves as the Laugh Pack technical expert.

---

• Broken Ace: Terminal is one of the best students in his year and excels at almost everything...but "almost" isn't good enough for his mother, so he becomes a violent criminal to take his anger out on everyone else.
• My Beloved Smother: Terminal's mother forces him to adhere to incredibly high standards and treats him getting the second highest grade as if he flunked out of school.
• Related in the Adaptation: He's the great-grandson of Charles Wilson, making him great-nephew of Slade Wilson/Deathstroke and cousin once removed of Grant, Joseph and Rose Wilson. He's also the grandson of Bill Wilson and nephew of William, Cecil and Ava Wilson.

J-Man (John Doe)

• Badass Longcoat: Wears a purple one that's very similar to his boss'.

• The Corrupter: He's the one who turned Dorothy Tan into the unstable Dottie.
• Death Seeker: It's highly doubtful J-Man cares about anyone or anything, even Dottie or himself.

• No-Nonsense Nemesis: J-Man set himself apart from other members of the Laugh Pack by not engaging in the use of gags or gimmick weaponry, preferring to use straightforward guns, explosives, and switchblades.
• Sadistic Choice: Many of his "games" often compel people to make extreme choices and force them to choose between themselves and others. Whether these are for his own sadistic amusement, to spread his apparent love of anarchy, or as some part of larger agenda remains to be seen.
• Secondary Color Nemesis: Much like the original Joker, he wears a purple suit and has dyed green hair, and is the closest to the Joker in terms of personality.
• The Sociopath: He's devoid of compassion, morals, limits, mercy, and remorse.
• Straw Nihilist: He considers his sadistic nature is proof that he is "ahead of the curve" and everyone is an anarchist at heart - and just in need of a little push to bring about the realization.
• Unreliable Narrator: He likes entertaining hostages with a story of how he got his scars that often contradicts the last telling of the story.

Bianca Steeplechase

• Poisonous Person: Bianca Steeplechase had an unexpected reaction to Joker Venom - she survived. Though the toxin left her permanently changed with green eyes and hair, and bleached white skin, it also gave her toxic blood with similar effects to Joker Venom when introduced into another's blood stream.
• Related in the Adaptation: Her mother is distant cousins with Vicki Vale's father.
• The Rival: Sees Duela Dent as her arch-rival. She also sees Duela's mother Gilda as a rival as well.
• Sex for Solace: Due to the stress of juggling college, a demanding political internship, and the family drama that came with being a Steeplechase, Bianca's "love loft" became her fortress of sanity and stress-relief.

• Girlish Pigtails: She has long twintails that reach her waist.

• Official Couple: Married to Bianca Steeplechase.
• Red and Black and Evil All Over: Her outfit is mostly red and black.

• Polyamory: They are in a polyamorous relationship with their boss Edward Nygma.
• Pragmatic Villainy: Despite his eccentricities, the Riddler ensures his crew stays loyal by giving them benefits other crime bosses don't. They also have the smallest set territory and prefer to traffic information rather than other criminal activities. They also don't kill innocents or police officers so either the GCPD or the Batfamily don't go after them.
• Secondary Color Nemesis: Just like their boss the Quizmasters dress in purple and green costumes.
• Sleeping with the Boss: Query and Echo are the lovers of Nygma, and together they lead the Quiz Crew within The Masterminds.

• The Baby of the Bunch: She's the youngest of four siblings.
• Badass Driver: Diedre usually owns and operates her own pick-up truck, but she is more than capable of handling any of Nina's motorcycles (though she prefers to ride with Nina) or any of the many souped-up vehicles in Riddler's fleet. Diedre is also skilled in the use of a variety of heavy machinery and forklifts.
• Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Just like Nina, in casual clothes her navel and belly button piercing shaped like a question mark is exposed and she's a seductive dominatrix.
• Blackmail: Though she is not a blackmailer by trade, detesting the practice overall, she is willing to threaten or execute such tactics when she had clients or associates who attempt to betray or go against Diedre, her loved ones, or her active agenda.
• The Butcher: Diedre's family owns a major slaughterhouse and several associated butcher shops. Diedre is not a professional butcher by any means, but she does not flinch at the sight of blood and knows her way around knives. She claims to be able to fully break down a cow carcass by herself in six hours. She will often brag she can do the same to an adult man in much less time.
• Cowgirl: She grew up at a cattle ranch for most of her early life.
• Dominatrix: Diedre is an accomplished dominatrix, having worked as such for most of her adult life (even if only as a semi-legitimate side hustle).

She's the sister of Robert Vance and the aunt of Bobby Vance, who are characters from Batman Beyond. Her sister is Carol Vance-Martin, who in the Quality comics was known as the hero Wildfire.
• Sex Sells: It's the main reason why she went from simply owning an adult shop to creating a sex dungeon in the basement.
• Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: She has green eyes, red hair and is the lieutenant of one of the most notorious criminals in Gotham.
• Whip of Dominance: To go with her dominatrix image, Diedre uses a whip. Although she mostly only used this to herd cattle as a girl, she began using this in her adult work — mostly as an intimidating show of force for thematic purposes. However, she often does use the bullwhip as her go-to close-range weapon in her Query criminal persona to disarm or distract enemies until Echo can disable them.
• Wrestler in All of Us: Diedre used to wrestle with her older siblings on the ranch. She would also have to wrangle various animals, most being much larger than herself. Diedre has adapted this knowledge well to hand-to-hand combat where she will utilize joint locks and nerve strikes to gain the reluctant cooperation of her enemies.

• Dark Action Girl: Nina is brutal fighter. Though she prefers using bludgeoning instruments (such as her baseball bat) or her switchblade when forced to fight in close-quarters, Nina is more than capable of fighting hand-to-hand with considerable skill, especially when she and Diedre are able to fight together.
• Disappeared Dad: She never knew who her father was, and her mother Sofia and her maternal grandparents never told her.
• The Driver: She frequently serves as the Quiz Crew's getaway driver.
• Even Evil Has Standards: While she has killed her fair share of clowns, Nina has never killed an innocent bystander and when she shoots at police she prefers to make them take cover to deter pursuit.

• Friends with Benefits: How her relationship with Diedre began, before it became deeper.
