  • There Are No Therapists: Robin ends his second verse by saying Fawkes would be better off seeking therapy than revolution.

Inosuke Hashibira

Voiced by: Cam Steady*
"My breath changed to a death ray and I'll turn you to a sweat stain!"

    Inosuke: I go ham but you're bologna

    Boris Johnson vs. The Penguin 

Boris Johnson

Portrayed by: Harrison Cole
Voiced by: Dan Bull
"I'm Boris Johnson, superbious."
  • Bad Liar: The Penguin claims that nobody buys his lies.
  • Corrupt Politician: The Penguin certainly thinks of him as a corrupt, uncaring elitist who abandoned his people when they needed him. Granted, it's his unambiguously evil opponent saying that. The worst thing Boris reveals about himself is that he wants to get rid of Batman (which annoys Penguin because he wants to be the one to do it) and he doesn't bother remembering his illegitimate children's names.
    Penguin: You put this criminal menace; mad, cynical mayor; the villain they credit with millions of deaths and pending against The Penguin?
  • The Cynic: Penguin says that he's a cynic.
  • Forgetful Jones: He himself admitted that he doesn't remember his illegitimate children's names. He also forgets the last line of his verse and improvises something else.
  • Laughably Evil: Even when depicted unsympathetically, his constant bumbling during his raps makes him quite amusing. The Penguin says that is intentional on Boris' part.
  • Manipulative Bastard: He's called out by Penguin for tricking the citizens into thinking he's harmless so he'll get away with doing heinous things.
  • My Name Is Inigo Montoya: Introduces himself as "I'm Boris Johnson, superbious".
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: The Penguin is convinced that Boris' bumbling is all an elaborate ruse to convince people not to hold anything against him.
    The Penguin: You're slick to trick your citizens to thinking you're some ditzy idiot
    To be forgiven quick for any sinister shit you commit
    Like "he's a bit of a dick, though not inherently nasty,"
    Two-Faced but not a Dent on Harvey.
    Send off alarms with all your um and ahing
    Maybe you could finish a sentence in Arkham!
  • Really Gets Around: Brags about how he slept with so many women he can't even keep track of all his illegitimate children.
    Boris: You're a virgin; uh, I've been Cumming more than Dominic lately.
    Ask about my kids and I couldn't name them; conservative, but I'm putting these women through labor.
  • Upper-Class Twit: Penguin mocks him for being born to rich parents and thus never having to work to earn.
  • Verbal Tic: His tendency to stammer and interrupt himself is on display here; Penguin mocks him for this, joking that the only sentence Johnson could finish is a stint in Arkham Asylum.
  • Virgin-Shaming: He calls the Penguin a virgin as an insult, contacted with his bragging about how many women he's banged.

The Penguin

Portrayed by: Freshy Kanal
Voiced by: Littleflecks
"I was inspired by the flightless bird on a pack of cigs, and then since, I've smoked all who defy my word!"
  • Abusive Parents: His father is far from a good parent, leading to Boris saying the Penguin can steal anything except his father's love.
  • Bad Boss: Shoots his own henchman dead just because he fails to light his cigarillo.
  • Berserk Button: Much like his recent film appearance, the Penguin does not take snitching lightly.
    Squeal to the Feds, then I'll break your damned wrists!
  • Bourgeois Bohemian: He's a criminal kingpin in a top-hat and tails, and he differentiates himself from the arch-conservative Johnson by voicing support for Eat the Rich-style populism.
    Here's how we make things well fair: strip you of possessions and put you on welfare
    Stop reducing the funding for healthcare and make cuts to your big bird bed hair.
  • Composite Character: This version of the Penguin combines elements from many different incarnations: he has the same ashen complexion and Abusive Parents as Danny DeVito's version of the character in Batman Returns, he wears a purple bowtie like in the Batman (1966) TV show, his rasping Cockney voice comes straight out of the Batman: Arkham Series games, and his portrayal as a self-styled liberator of the downtrodden harkens back to his appearance in Batman: The Telltale Series.
  • Corrupt Politician: A supervillain who runs for mayor (a reference to some adaptation depicting him doing so with varying success).
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Penguin is clearly disgusted with Boris' less-than-reputable actions as PM, as he spends a great deal of his verses calling him out for them.
    Not even I would buy your lies, so here's some advice that you might prefer
    Next time you put the nation second, put an r-e-s-i-and-g first!
  • Exiled from Continuity: invoked Boris Johnson jokes about the Penguin being left out of the DC Extended Universe.
  • Fat Bastard: He's fairly large (though less so here than in other media), and Boris even compares his appearance to that of Harvey Weinstein.
  • Gonk: The way he is depicted in the battle is a downplayed example, being a little fat and have pale skin. However, Boris describes the deformities he is usually depicted with.
    Boris: As a tubby gross kid, you were bloody roasted for looking like Kingpin with scoliosis.
    Got a beak big like Michael Gove's cheeks; one runny nose and we'll suffocate in bogies
  • Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: This Penguin smokes a cigarillo instead of the traditional cigarette-in-a-holder, which fits his scruffy and thuggish portrayal. He even caps a henchman for failing to light his smoke properly.
  • Hates Rich People: One of his gripes with Johnson is that he inherited his wealth without having earned any of it.
  • "Knock Knock" Joke: He makes one in the ending credits, except it's not a pun but a dig at Boris' resignation.
  • Man of Wealth and Taste: Despite being a Bourgeois Bohemian who Hates Rich People, he still can't resist bragging about his tux and bowtie.
  • The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: He gets pissed off when Boris Johnson plans to get rid of Batman, and then swears to get it done himself.
  • Parasol of Pain: His umbrella is also a gun, which he uses to shoot a henchman. Penguin even claims to know "how to properly open a verse and umbrella", a reference to both his signature weapon and Johnson's infamously failed attempt to open an umbrella on TV.
  • The Pig-Pen: Boris claims he reeks really bad.
  • Self-Made Man: He brags about being this in contrast to Boris never having to earn money his whole life.
  • Sinister Schnoz: Boris jokes that the Penguin's nose is big enough to drown everyone in mucus.
  • Uncleanliness Is Next to Ungodliness: Boris Johnson mocks the Penguin's rumpled appearance and says he smells awful enough to require social distancing.
    Boris Johnson: Here are some measures to abide with, stand ten feet away and never anywhere beside me!
    Implementing them not for the virus, but because you reek like a peasant with no hygiene

  • Animate Inanimate Object: A walking, talking scarecrow.
  • Attack! Attack! Attack!: He spends the entire battle on the offensive, never once boasting about himself.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: He acts like a bumbling goofball through the whole battle, but his raps were surprisingly hard-hitting.
  • Disability Immunity: Having no brain means that the DC Scarecrow's Fear Gas has no effect on him.
  • Humble Hero: As a rarity in the series, he never actually brags about himself at any point in the battle.
  • Who Even Needs a Brain?: As in the original story, being literally made of straw means he has no brain, but he's still able to move, speak and rap normally.

    Hulk vs. Frankenstein 

Bruce Banner / Hulk

Voiced by: Eric the Audible (Bruce Banner), Mr. Tibbs (Hulk)
"I don't know how much damage is left to do before HULK SMASH IT!"

Victor Frankenstein

Voiced by: Freshy Kanal
"It's alive!"
  • Composite Character: The name and his story is taken from the original novel version, but elements of Henry Frankenstein from the 1931 film such as "It's alive!" and him being a Doctor are used. As in many modern adaptations, he's also given an eccentric assistant named Igor, a trait taken from Frederick Frankenstein in Young Frankenstein.
  • Dr. Frankenstein: The original raps here and his Creating Life experiments is unleashed midway through the rap.
  • Humans Are the Real Monsters: Banner says that, with all the horrible things Frankenstein has done throughout his life, it's no wonder people keep getting him and the monster mixed up with one another.

  • Know-Nothing Know-It-All: Bruce Banner says that, since Dr. Frankenstein technically flunked out of college, his posturing about being a genius is undeserved.

Frankenstein's Monster

"Society's mad cause I'm built different!"
  • Black Eyes of Evil: Cyancoat's design of the monster has him with fully black eyes, a deviation from the more stereotypical depictions of him.
  • Composite Character: His appearance and the method of his creation are taken from the 1931 film, while his intelligence, deliberate murderousness and resentment of the society that ostracized him are taken from the original novel.
  • Deliberately Monochrome: Both him and the Doctor are presented in black and white, as an homage to the Frankenstein films.
  • Frankenstein's Monster: The original is here and he can rap.
  • I Am Not Shazam: In-Universe, Banner says that it's no wonder people keep getting him and Frankenstein confused.
  • Splash of Color : We get a few glimpses of the monster in color when he gets close to the other side, such as when he crosses over to grab Banner on a chokehold or when looking at Hulk from the side.

    Edgar Wright vs. Wes Anderson 

Edgar Wright

Portrayed by: Lawless Marshall

  • Borrowed Catchphrase: He works "For the greater good" into his first verse.

  • Slobs vs. Snobs: The slob to Anderson's snob - Anderson describes his writing as "repetitive parody cheese" in contrast with his own "overdesigned" movies.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: Anderson accuses him of thinking he's greater at writing than he actually is, citing Last Night in Soho as an example of his movies getting a lukewarm reception. He also says this is the reason for him turning his back on Nick Frost.

  • Special Effect Failure: invoked Anderson references Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and says it confuses him how Edgar doesn't know how to edit.

  • Motor Mouth: Spits a lot of words per line in his first verse.

  • Prima Donna Director: Implied by Edgar when he says Bill Murray is forced to act in Anderson's movies.
  • Production Posse: invoked Wright points out that he always casts the same actors in his movies.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue to Wright's Red. He's very deadpan in his delivery all the way through.
  • Sharp-Dressed Man: In contrast to Edgar's more casual attire. He takes a jab at it, of course.
    Wright: Oh I missed the memo, excuse me. Didn't know we had to dress like the pretentious chodes you put in your movies.
  • Slobs vs. Snobs: The snob to Wright's slob - Wright describes his writing as pseudo-intellectual and his characters as pretentious chodes, and Anderson himself considers himself above Wright's "repetitive parody cheese" output.
  • The Stoic: Delivers his lines in a flat, emotionless affect, similar to how many characters in his movies speak. Wright says that he could pass for a zombie and calls him "Shaun of the Deadpan".
  • True Companions: With Owen Wilson, which Wright mocks and Anderson boasts of.
  • Write What You Know: invoked Edgar points out that a lot of his movies' are inspired by his parents' divorce.

Voiced by: Evava (in Monika vs. Harley Quinn), JesseBoxVO (vs. Raven)
"I don't need to see your future based on what I've seen before!"

Peter Pan

Captain Hook

Voiced by: EpicLloyd
"I'm the feather in the cap of the seven seas!"

Jack and the Beanstalk

  • Rags to Riches: He says he was down till his burglary and murder of the giant in his story made him rich.
  • Your Mom: "Putting seeds in a foe's mum".

The Golden Goose

Voiced by: Jay Chay
"Honk honk, hear the goose come."

Red Riding Hood

Voiced by: HalaCG
"Running through the woods in a bright red hood."
  • Eaten Alive: Heavily implied to have been eaten by the wolf.
  • Humble Hero: She's the only rapper in the series who doesn't brag about her own skills at all, instead using her verse only to hype up how dangerous the Wolf is.
  • Little Dead Riding Hood: Unlike many other adaptations of her story, she's implied not to survive her encounter with the Wolf.
  • The Smurfette Principle: The only female rapper in the cypher.

The Big Bad Wolf

Voiced by: Shwabadi
"He's the lone wolf, got no partner in this crime!"
  • All Your Base Are Belong to Us: He threatens to "turn your crib into my lair."
  • The Bad Guy Wins: He apparently succeeded in eating Little Red Riding Hood, and his fate at the hands of the Woodsman is only vaguely alluded to.
  • The Big Bad Wolf: The one and only.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: He is nothing but proud of his evil ways and makes no secret of this.
  • Combat Pragmatist: Freely admits to being sneaky and not fighting fair.
  • Evil Brit: Shwabadi gives the Wolf a menacing Cockney accent.
  • Evil Sounds Raspy: Aptly enough for an anthropomorphic canine, he is given a barking, guttural rasp of a voice.
  • Genius Bruiser: While physically powerful enough to rip victims to shreds, he's also a self-proclaimed Master of Disguise who's always got a "cunning plan" up his sleeve.
  • I Work Alone: He describes himself as antisocial, as well as being an alpha despite not hunting in packs (which in real-life would be fairly untypical)
  • Jerkass: Unrepentantly so, there isn't a single likeable quality about him, not that he cares one bit.
  • Large Ham: While almost everyone qualifies, him being a Card-Carrying Villain while having No Indoor Voice make him easily stand out.
  • Master of Disguise: Name-drops this trope to boast about his plan to get Red Riding Hood.
  • No Indoor Voice: He's easily the loudest of the characters, basically shouting each line.
  • Super-Persistent Predator: He's a self-proclaiming "sneaky motherfucker" who's always where you least expect him to be. And he's out for blood.
  • This Is for Emphasis, Bitch!: "And I could cut you down to size like a lumberjack, bitch!"
  • Token Evil Teammate: Along with Captain Hook, the only villain to participate in the cypher.
  • Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Most of the other characters in the rap cypher are quirky and lighthearted in their verses, and even the villainous Captain Hook and the morally ambiguous Wonderland characters are more amusing than anything else. This all changes with Little Red's verse, which is tinged with looming dread regarding the Wolf as he closes in on her. After her verse ends, the Wolf himself shows up and spends his verse loudly and aggressively bragging about being a remorseless murderer. He even lampshades it, gloating about how many children have nightmares from reading his stories.
  • The Unfettered: The Wolf is only concerned about his next meal and he will let nothing get in his way or spare any dirty trick like dressing up as your granny after eating her.
  • Villainous Glutton: He comments how he's always hungry and looking for seconds. He isn't too picky about what or who he eats.
  • Would Hurt a Child: He's proud of eating Red Riding Hood and giving little kids nightmares.

  • Composite Character: Has traits from both the original fairy tale and from his portrayal in the Shrek movies.
  • Guile Hero: Puss describes himself as one, owing it to growing up poor. He also mentions that he got his "G be the king of the castle" this way, referencing his original fairytale.
    Puss: When you poor, gotta work, gotta hustle!
  • Hairball Humor: One of his lines is "Spitting so sick like hairballs".

Humpty Dumpty

Voiced by: Eric The Audible
"Poster on the wall, you know it's me."

  • Pungeon Master: Makes a lot of eggscellent egg puns.

The Mad Hatter

Voiced by: The Stupendium
"No matter! Here comes The Hatter!"
  • Brits Love Tea: Voiced by British musician The Stupendium and hosts the Mad Tea Party.
  • The Cameo: Both the March Hare and Alice have brief line in his cypher. Interestingly, in the animation their lines immediately disappear from the book once sopken.
Mad Hatter: You say curiouser and curiouser, I'd say I'm mercurial.
March Hare: That just means his mind's a mess!
Alice: Very rude!
  • Cloud Cuckoolander: He's easily the wackiest character, and quite proud of it too.
  • Hypocrite: After racing through his bars, he remarks that "you really do talk too much" (referencing the book, where he said a similar thing to Alice).
  • Jerkass: Less so than the Big Bad Wolf, but he does retain his more uncivil attitude from the book.
  • Life of the Party: He ends his verse bragging about how fun his Mad Tea Parties are.
    This table setting is the place to be!
    It's a very merry un-birthday to me!
  • The Mad Hatter: The man himself. He even brags that his "sanity's a drink in a thimble."
  • Motor Mouth: He delivers his bars incredibly fast paced.
  • Non Sequitur: It's not always easy to follow his line of thought when he speaks. He is mercurial after all.
  • Speech Impediment: The Hatter raps with a noticable lisp, like his animated Disney version.
  • Tick Tock Tune: There's the distinct sound of a clock ticking playing throughout his track, likely referencing the White Rabbit.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Why, tea, of course! You're dreaming if you think that you could have a coffee.

Cheshire Cat

Voiced by: Dan Bull
"One: I'm a cat, two: I came from Cheshire."
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: While everyone addresses the watcher (with the possible exception of the Hatter who might be talking to Alice), the Cheshire Cat specifically encourages you to "rewind, see how many hidden messages you find".
  • Cats Are Magic: Unsurprisingly; he is the Cheshire Cat after all. He's "invisible, apart from the glowing grin on [his] grill".
  • Cats Are Snarkers: Delivers a few sardonic remarks in a posh, reserved voice.
    Cheshire Cat: I may be a stranger, but you're even stranger.
  • Cheshire Cat Grin: It's a requirement. He's just dentally built.
  • Cold Ham: As much as he can be given the setting, but he introduces himself in a fairly polite if somewhat aloof manner and remains far more understated in style than, say, the Hatter or the Wolf. Makes him no less impressive.
  • Confound Them with Kindness: Possibly, but instead of immediately bragging about himself like everyone else, he takes his time politely greeting the viewer (though not without a hidden barb) and assuring them that they're safe with him right before his bars and tone take a vastly different direction.
  • Delighting in Riddles: He delivers "riddling as if it's medicine for fidgeting" and his verses are far more cryptic than the other's.
  • False Reassurance: Possibly, though it's hard to tell with him. He first tells you not to worry, "you're not in danger", but his bars later on imply there's a more dangerous side to him.
    Cheshire Cat: Pickling your mind like I'm sticking it in brine!
  • The Gadfly: Appears to be the case for him. Taking a look into other's minds seems to be a fun past time for the Cheshire Cat.
Cheshire Cat: When you get defensive then you tend to reveal, your intentions, that's why I never pretend to be real!
  • Humans Through Alien Eyes: A possible interpretation for his dig at the viewer. Despite being a magical talking cat with the ability to turn invisible, he insists that you, the viewer, are stranger than he is. And for a slightly unhinged magical cat, a perfectly normal human might be a strange sight.
  • Noodle Incident: He brags about being complicit in "conspiracies", but refuses to elaborate further, claiming that you wouldn't want to know the details.
  • Wild Card: It's hard to determine if he's genuinely pleasant or just pretending to be, but either way it's good to be careful around him.
