Hmm, I should've been more clear. Please spoiler the name, but remove "Ass" in Ambassador since his name's a spoiler, but spoilers shouldn't have potholes.

One for Hollywood Tactics:
- Snow White & the Huntsman's beach battle is a hilariously bad depiction of medieval warfare. On one side, Snow White's army attacks the castle in an unsupported cavalry charge the defending soldiers can and do see coming from miles away. On the other side, the soldiers don't even take the most basic defensive measures like closing the gates and portcullis, letting said cavalry charge right into the courtyard.

When the new image for Devilman was added, the page quote was deleted. Please re-add it.
"Humans are my nourishment. For a demon, it is not a crime to eat living beings....However...killing other living beings is a sin! Isn't it? That's why I ate them without killing them!...Kah Kah Kah Kah! Don't you think they're happy to have been eaten by me?!!!"

I removed the quote because it's a piece of dialogue from the same character who was chosen for the page pic...unnecessary redundancy. I couldn't find dialogue from any of the other characters on the page to replace it with.

We have other cases where the quote and image are the same character.
Anyway, at Batman, please remove the Elseworlds stuff from the Miscellaneous group and instead add this new group after the Misc. group (just copy and paste what's inside the folder):
THIS
Elseworlds
- Batman & Captain America: Red Skull, here a high-ranking member of the Nazi regime, allies himself with the Joker in his latest plot for expanding the Third Reich. Having the Joker murder several innocents to assist in his own theft of an atomic bomb dubbed "Fat Boy," Red Skull casually poisons one of his own soldiers for questioning his orders, and later has the Joker slaughter a path into a military base. Betraying the Joker at this juncture, Red Skull boasts his plans to parade the Joker's broken body around as a trophy, and reveals his true master plan to drop Fat Boy onto Washington, D.C., then use the ensuing millions of casualties to pave the way for the Nazis to invade America. Even when his original plan is thwarted, Red Skull still attempts to drop Fat Boy miles out of Washington, gleefully proclaiming that the fallout will still kill countless innocents.
- Batman: Bloodstorm: The Joker himself appears as the central threat in this second story of the Batman-Vampire trilogy. Immediately seizing the vacuum in power over the remaining Gotham vampires left by Dracula's demise, Joker sets up savage massacres of criminal gangs to seize their assets and make himself stronger, converting every person murdered into a vampire under his command. Joker intends to kill and convert every single person within Gotham City and attack the rest of the nation with his army whilst basking in the power it brings him. Confronted by the now-vampiric Batman, Joker strangles a priest to death for a chuckle and sets up a trap in a church for Batman, directly murdering his companion Selina Kyle in a failed attempted to shoot Batman down. Joker's actions cause Batman to snap, succumb to his bloodlust, and murder the psychopath himself, resulting in Batman becoming a feral Knight Templar as Joker's posthumous last laugh. As always, the Joker has a penchant for twisted wit and depthless charm whilst committing horrific atrocities for little more than amusement, and manages to outdo Dracula himself in wickedness despite never even becoming a vampire himself.
- Batman: Holy Terror: Dr. Saul Erdel, the head scientist of Star Chamber, is an amoral mad scientist studying the “para-gene” for the purposes of the theocratic state. To activate the gene after witnessing its effects in the former scientist Barry Allen, Erdel has dozens of people with the gene kidnapped and experimented on, resulting in all of his subjects afflicted with varying states of trauma, insanity, Body Horror, and mental and physical deformation—including a three-year-old he induced rapid aging in to the point of eventual death and a merman he forcefully mated with another mermaid, leading to the mermaid's death in childbirth and the resulting children all being born as agony-stricken mutations. Disintegrating even his favorite project Barry once he stands up, Erdel's most powerful specimen is an alien he calls the Green Man, whom he raised under experimentation and eventually killed via exposure to Kryptonite once he grows too strong, showing Batman the Green Man's body with the sole purpose of breaking his hope with a proud smile on his face the whole while.
- Batman: Leatherwing, by Chuck Dixon, Enrique Alcatena, et al.: The Laughing Man, the steadfast Arch-Enemy of Captain Leatherwing, is a wickedly sophisticated pirate who makes a name for himself with slaughterous piracy so brutal it earns him rumor that he was the Devil's first mate. He introduces himself killing the crew of a Spanish ship, sinking it, and joyfully tormenting its sole survivor with a cannon during interrogation for the location of the elusive Bat's Cay, later tying up the man to use for target practice. Winning the favor of Capitana Felina by slaughtering her rebellious men, the Laughing Man has Felina seduce Leatherwing to coax the location of the Cay out of him and later furiously vows to slaughter her and all his enemies in a tide of bloodshed during the final battle, even shooting Leatherwing's young friend Robin Redblade in his mad cause to kill Leatherwing and eat his heart.
- Batman/Dark Joker: The Wild, by Doug Moench et al.: In this medieval retelling of the Batman mythos, Dark Joker, He Who Laughs At Pain, is a psychopathic sorcerer bent on unleashing his most evil magics across the land for fun. Years ago, Joker was a master torturer who took great pleasure in causing others pain, and while he was cursed to forever smile because of his twisted cruelty, this only served to make Joker worse, as he then learned the secrets of magic. Using his new powers, Joker amasses an army of monsters, murders the man who cursed him along with his wife and attempting the same on their newborn, then begins leading the massacres of entire villages, whose inhabitants he decapitates, then eats the brains of, something he extends to performing on his own minions. After regaining his full power, Dark Joker controls a man into killing his own son before moving on to others, calls down fire to set innocents aflame, and, when confronted by an army of enemy troops, Dark Joker turns half of them into zombies that rip into their own teammates and friends. Continuing his streak of pure evil across all media, Dark Joker just may be one of the most wicked incarnations of the Clown Prince of Crime yet.
- Batman: The Doom that Came to Gotham, by Mike Mignola, Richard Pace, et al.: Ra's al Ghul is imagined here as a stand-in for Abdul Alhazred, the Mad Arab, and is the Big Bad of this Lovecraft-inspired storyline. Having written the Testament of Ghul years back and having been rent apart by an invisible beast afterwards, Ra's is resurrected by his daughter Talia and he immediately returns to business, drowning Gotham in a sea of reptiles and proclaiming Bruce Wayne their first victim. Now a faithful servant of the eldritch god Iog-Sotha, Ra's hopes to allow Iog-Sotha passage into the world to end all humanity and begins arranging the material for its passage through, tearing through the now-mad Grendon and leaving him to slowly freeze to death whilst having a plant demon he creates from Grendon's seed to assassinate Oliver Queen and nearly murder the young Tim Drake. Afterwards, Ra's al Ghul has Harvey Dent subjected to a horrific, painful mutation that eventually renders Harvey immobile and twists half his body into a gate through which Ra's attempts to draw Iog-Sotha forth through. Ra's mutates his own form in his final, furious attempt to slay Bruce, fanatically claiming that a "million million" souls will follow Bruce into Hell when Iog-Sotha makes its crossing.
- Batman/Houdini: The Devil's Workshop, by Howard Chaykin, John Francis Moore, & Mark Chiarello: Baron Elijah Montenegro is an obese meatpacking mogul who doubles as a ravenous vampire with a particular sweet tooth for children. After coming to America years ago and murdering his way into a powerful position, Montenegro took the psychopathic Jack Schadenfreude to be his servant, and uses him to capture children, drain them dry of their blood to feed Montenegro, then dump the corpses into his meat vats, killing dozens of children over the years. When Batman and Harry Houdini begin investigating his crimes, Montenegro, to cover his tracks, has Jack set one of his own packing plants aflame, hoping to kill the many women and children inside the complex as well. After capturing reporter Victoria Vale, Montenegro plans to turn her and force her into being his pet slave for all eternity. Greedy, sociopathic, and gluttonous, Baron Montenegro made his mark as a true creature of night, more than living up to title of "Lord of Hell".
- The Batman of Arkham: The Joker and his gang start by raiding a chemicals factory, with Joker using his gas on a night watchman, who is brought into Arkham Asylum Laughing Mad; Commissioner Gordon says the man is lucky, as most victims Die Laughing. Batman confronts Joker and his gang, but is sprayed with some of the gas; he manages to escape before a bomb set by Joker explodes. A week later, having recovered from the effects, Batman manages to escape Arkham and confront the Joker again. This time, Joker plans to use a hot air balloon and drop "laughing bombs" filled with his gas, resulting in all of Gotham City being Driven to Madness, with many dying.
- Batman: Thrillkiller, by Howard Chaykin & Dan Brereton note : Bianca Steeplechase is a ruthless gangster known as "The Joker". As a message to those trailing her activities, Bianca has Robin's family and informant Selina Kyle killed. When Batgirl and Robin confront her, Bianca kills Robin in front of Batgirl and mocks her about his death. After escaping, Bianca resurfaces as the wife of a mayoral candidate and works with former Nazi scientist, Otto Saunders, to produce a dangerous and highly addictive drug. Ultimately hoping to rule Gotham politically by using her husband, while she gets rich off a drug epidemic, Bianca is a power-hungry monster.
- Catwoman: Guardian of Gotham, by Doug Moench et al.: In this alternate world where Catwoman fills the role of vigilante hero, Batman himself is a completely homicidal maniac defined by greed and sadism. Years ago, as a teenager, Batman gunned down two innocent people to steal their jewelry with a smile on his face, leaving the child Selina Kyle orphaned and heartbroken. As an adult, Batman begins murdering Catwoman's Rogues Gallery to eliminate any competition for his crime spree, during which he steals and murders to his heart's content, even becoming a Serial Killer simply because he can. In his public persona of Bruce Wayne, Batman seduces Catwoman's alter ego, Selina Kyle, and manipulates her into falling in love with and marrying him, at which point he murders Kyle's best friend before attempting the same on her, gleefully mocking her about how easy it was to manipulate her. When Selina, demanding a reason for Batman's various atrocities, asks him why he does it, Batman's only reply is "Why not?". In perhaps one of the most stunning instances of Adaptational Villainy, this iteration of Batman is an utter perversion of every thing good and noble about his canon counterpart.

The Pokémon Stadium entries on ThatOneBoss.Pokemon have some capitalization issues that need to be fixed. Here's the originals:
- The final trainer of Prime Cup Master Ball in Pokemon Stadium 1 is a Male Cooltrainer with a Mew, in both rounds. Round 2 kicks it up several notches, as his Mew has higher stats, softboiled, and overused competitive teammates like Tauros, Exeggutor, and Starmie. To a lesser extent, the Female Cooltrainer in round 2 Master Ball, as she's the only one that can make the gamebreaking Substitute Mewtwo users think twice. How? With an Electrode that will outspeed and paralyze Mewtwo before it sets up, or just power through with Body Slam Snorlax. Good luck beating those two, especially with a rental team.
- Any Final Boss with a Snorlax in any of Pokemon Stadium 2's Round 2 cups. Snorlax is extremely versatile, extremely hard to kill, and can easily destroy your pokemon from the transfer packs (Including Mewtwo), especially rentals. Gym Leader Castle’s final boss, Pokemon Trainer Red’s signature pokemon is a Snorlax, and even among a team of legendaries, it is by far the most dangerous pokemon, but is covered well by the two non-legendaries. Poke Cup Master Ball Finalist Pokemaniac Pedro’s Snorlax is level 55, has leftovers, and uses a Belly drum/Rest/Snore/Earthquake combo, and if he rests after belly drumming, you have already lost, but he could choose the much “easier” level 55 Dragonite instead. There is a reason why you never face Snorlax in round 1 Pokemon Stadium 2… outside of Challenge cup Master Ball.
And here's the rewrite:
- The final trainer of Prime Cup Master Ball in Pokemon Stadium 1 is a Male Cooltrainer with a Mew, in both rounds. Round 2 kicks it up several notches, as his Mew has higher stats, Softboiled, and overused competitive teammates like Tauros, Exeggutor, and Starmie.
