Sadly NKVDemon and KGBeast are probably out because a Soviet threat is not very relevant to people anymore. It still kinda was when those comics were out in the early 90s, but now....

Tommy Monaghan would be cool to see. He was a metahuman hitman in Gotham for a while

Goblin of Gotham:

A dark elf trickster is taken to a mysterious island in the Caribbean, sometime in the past. He's being taken there by four wraith-like cloaked figures who plan to sacrifice him. Stopping the ceremony is a bat. As a result the the wraith-like figures become goat creatures because the ceremony was not complete. The trickster starts to kill the goats, but the bat stops him, revealing to him a story that his parents were killed by a snake and he's against murder.

Fast much time later and people begin to inhabit the island. Giving it a very mixed culture. The story of the bat and the trickster and the wraiths/goats becomes folklore. In the middle of the city is an old building that houses a low rent private eye named G. Batty. He in truth is the elf trickster. His partner is the bat. They have a straight man, crazy man team who investigate and try to stop suspicious and paranormal activity on the island before it gets too out of hand.

The goats still remain, bringing an ominous presence around situations of violent crime and disaster.

The bat often hangs from the elf's ear like an earring. The elf uses dirty fighting instead of more refined tactics like Batman and illusion casting to strike fear, not being able to give in to his more chaotic and murderous instincts thanks to his long friendship with the bat. The trickster is a lot off his rocker, and the bat is the more logical, deductive of the duo.

They have their own gallery of strange rogues. I'll go into that later.

Instead of a batcave, they keep their secret lair in the belfry above their office.

@chrisj_1: really? cool

Okay, I'll take a swing, then.

Killer Croc: Instead of having a mutated freak from the sewers, we can have an actual crocodile on a chain and controlled by the main villain we'll call the Bush Bandit. He'll be Australian and he'll have Aboriginal warriors as his henchmen.

Solomon Grundy: How hard would it have been to have a Frankenstein like character on the 60s TV show? He could have easily been done, and the show was seriously lacking in any spooky episodes in the tradition of all the other 60s horror shows and movies.

Bane: He can either be a carnival strongman or a masked professional wrestler. Every tv show has had a wrestling episode at some point. It would have been awesome to see Adam West trading headlocks and doing a test of strength with a muscular villain.

Two Face: Never featured on the show, because his appearance would have been considered too grotesque for tv audiences of the day. Why not have had him wear a half a phantom of the opera type mask to hide his scars? Problem solved.

Scarecrow: At one point in the TV show, Shame used fear gas on Batman, Robin, and Bat Girl. It was less of a psychological exploration of their fears and more of them poorly acting as "fraidy cats." How could he be inserted into the tv series? Maybe another horror themed character who, along with his henchmen, dresses up as various ghouls to scare people so that he can commit robberies. The episodes involve Batman being the only one suspicious of the monsters not being real and doing enough detective work to eventually unmask the Scarecrow at the end of each episode.

Poison Ivy: There were some very enticing vixens on the 60s tv series. One who could even hypnotize men to do her will by emitting a piercing vocal range talent. And there was even a plant themed villain named Louie the Lilac portrayed by Milton Berle. Maybe if Milton went drag, like he liked to do, we could have had a Poison Ivy character.

Harley Quinn: Everyone's favorite criminal sidekick. If you're a fan of the 60s tv series, you'll remember many of the female henchpersons employed by the classic villains. Many of whom had a personality kind of similar to Harley's and a few who sounded a lot like Harley, believe it or not.

Clayface: Special fx were lacking back in the day, no cgi, really before good puppetry and animatronics, so it would have to probably be a guy in a horrible looking costume, but not if you think of the clay or wax in another way. Maybe a mad curator of a wax museum who is able to somehow bring his creations to life. In this was we could have Batman & Robin having their own "Night in the Museum" facing off against all sorts of different type of henchmen characters through out fantasy and history.

Ra's Al Ghul: I'm not sure if an eco terrorist type character would have caught on that well back then. Maybe if we implied that this seemingly sinister character with a heavy Eastern-European accent might be the legendary Count Dracula then it would fit in better in the series. He has a lurch type bodyguard and is trying to woo the caped crusader with his beautiful, vampire like daughter.

@geekbait: Agreed. Everything should be available on any platform if you want it and are willing to pay for it.

@durakken: If it just burnt out, wouldn't there still be a cold, lifeless rock floating in space? I don't know. You're right about Freeze, though. It is more psychological than medical.

Marv becomes the new Robin.

Giving two shits always seemed like a lot of work to me.

@breadspread: If I don't see Santa somewhere in Gotham during the night's events of this game, then that's finally proof positive for me that he doesn't exist. Batman has gotta at least punch a reindeer like he did a horse, recently

The sun dies. Scientist got the age of our solar system all wrong. It's like Nuclear winter. Superman is kaput. Green Lantern and some of the other justice league take some survives out into space, looking for a new home planet. Bruce is stubborn and wants to figure out how to save Gotham/Earth and the people who refuse to leave. He and Luthor get the aid of Victor Fries and manage to do to everyone what was done to Victor. Only problem is now, everyone is cold and emotionless, just as Victor. Bruce, and others, try to hold on to their humanity, or in some cases with the former rogues their lack there of, in order not to lose who they truly were, and not to ultimately destroy each other for the final time.
