Jervis Tetch - Batman: The Long Halloween: Part One

The alter-ego of The Mad Hatter, Jervis Tetch is a costumed criminal in Gotham City, driven by an intense and delusional obsession with Lewis Carroll's works, notably 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.'  His criminal endeavours were shaped by the peculiar yet dark world of Carroll's literature, leading him to adopt a criminal persona often associated with mind-controlling devices reminiscent of elements from the Wonderland tales. 

His fascination with this fictional universe extended beyond simple admiration, as he aimed to replicate its eccentricity in Gotham, trapping victims in a distorted rendition of his favourite narratives.

Following his arrest, Tetch's spiralling madness resulted in his commitment to Arkham Asylum, as ordered by Gotham City's District Attorney, Harvey Dent. Here, he became part of Batman's infamous Rogues Gallery, leaving a legacy of unsettling criminal exploits inspired by Carroll's imaginative creations.

The Robin Suit - Batman: Dark Victory

The signature suit of the costumed vigilante Robin, Richard Grayson chose a suit that paid homage to his parents, John and Mary Grayson. The suit was adorned with the bright and vivid colours of red, green, and yellow, mirroring the uniforms worn by his parents during their performances as The Flying Graysons at Hayley's Circus.

Despite Batman's initial disapproval of the yellow cape, fearing it would make Robin an easy target, he respected Grayson's decision and ultimately accepted the design choice.

Robin - Batman: Dark Victory

In the immediate aftermath of The Hang Man's - aka Sofia Falcone Gigante - death, Richard "Dick" Grayson assumed the role of Robin, joining forces with his guardian, Bruce Wayne, aka Batman to become a costumed vigilante.

The sobriquet "Robin" was inspired by his mother, Mary Grayson, who often likened her energetic son to the bird of the same name.

Personally trained by Bruce, Wayne hoped to guide Dick away from a path of cynicism and vengeance, similar to the one he had traversed to become Batman. 

Together, Batman & Robin formed a formidable team, nicknamed "the Dynamic Duo" by the press and criminals alike. They protected the city for several years until Dick eventually retired from the role and struck out on his own as Nightwing.
