Villains try to prove themselves by facing the Bats...

[ebailey140]

...and not all of them are quite on the level of the Joker and Two-Face.

"He said his name is what?"





The Gotham press, however, assumes they all are as dangerous as the Joker...



Makes you wonder how they report this guy...






So, some good things can come from facing dangerous menaces such as this, if you're Dick Grayson.

Maybe it's Bruce, himself, that tries to enhance the reps of his less impressive foes...



But, there are some images that even Bruce can't help...



And, any look at the less impressive members of the Batman Rogues Gallery isn't complete without this one...



Yet, demonstrating that just fighting Batman can make your rep, someone actually thought Crazy Quilt was a legacy worth taking over.

How do you kill somebody with polka dots?

[cainofdreaming]

By making people wear them?

It's only effective against people with very low self-esteem, though.

[whitesycamore]

Do not malign polka-dots - I look wicked hot in a polka dot dress!*

*May not be true.

[shadowvalkyrie]

Maybe he strangles them with polka-dotted scarves? Or maybe it's actually a new super-virulent streak of measles?

Yeah, I got nothing.

Oh there are many many delicious ways to add someone else to the long pattern of dots.

- chemically dipped patches (like nicotine)
- large, aggressive spore clusters
- high pressure airbrush with squid ink mixed with various poisons of marine life
- and the tried but true shot gun shells.

*blink* This seems suspiciously well thought out...

[deepspaceartist]

I thought it meant he just killed anybody wearing polka dots.

[jcbaggee]

Next year there'll be a story where Mr. Polk-A-Dot has a complete break down, and we have a scene of him sitting in an apartment, entirely nude, painting brightly colored polka dots on bullets.

I'm more curious what Wonder Woman thinks it might be a euphemism for.

[icon_uk]

She probably has her doubts about what a "Killer Croc" involves, what a "Firefly" is and thinks that "The Eraser" is something to do with rubbers.

Make them fall in colorful holes and slice them with colorful flying discs.

Alternatively, super contagious and deadly measles and small pox.
