He thinks that he's Nightwing's worst foe in reality, Nightwing doesn't even consider him a threat, on one occasion ignoring him and walking away while Shrike chased after him, trying (and failing) to hit him. In a mild subversion, one of them in Shrike, an assassin Nightwing befriended while undercover receiving assassin's training.
Batman's former sidekick Nightwing has his own gallery, including villains that have plagued him from his days with Batman and the Titans: Blockbuster, Torque, the Tarantula, Nite-Wing, Double Dare, Hellhound, Amygdala, the Pierce Brothers. Among those not pictured are Hush, Harley Quinn, Clayface, Killer Croc, Ra's Al-Ghul, Deadshot, Bane, Mad Hatter, Black Mask, and many more. Pictured above, clockwise from top center: Scarecrow, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, Penguin, The Riddler, Catwoman, Mr. Batman is a standout example, both in terms of the most memorable villains and simply in sheer size. The name of the trope comes from the row of "Wanted" posters displayed in police stations. Individual members of a Rogues Gallery have a strong tendency towards The Gimmick, for subtly obvious reasons. Contrast Monster of the Week, which is a parade of one-shot villains. As long as the franchise has a group of recognizable, distinct antagonists who continually return to cause trouble for the hero, they count as a Rogues Gallery.Ĭompare Big Bad Ensemble, which is similar but refers to a number of major villains being active, and distinct, threats at a given time, and revolves around the threat they pose rather than the hero whose enemy they are. While this trope is most prevalent in Superhero stories, it's by no means restricted to them, as some of the examples below show. If all or most of the villains in the Rogues Gallery are linked in this way, then you have a Thematic Rogues Gallery. Conversely, Batman's array of brightly-colored lunatics falls squarely into the "contrasts with" category, with a smattering of reflection given Batman's own borderline personality - but it's also composed mostly of Badass Normals like Bats himself. For example, most of Spider-Man's enemies gained their powers through scientific mishaps, and many use animal motifs in their names and costumes. It is also common for a hero's Rogues Gallery to have some kind of unifying theme that either reflects or contrasts with the personality, powers and/or origin of the hero himself. Overall, members of the gallery tend to be protected by Joker Immunity. In order to allow the heroes to sometimes win against the rogues but still leave the villains available for re-use, the prison that they're put in will often be incredibly easy to escape from, or they'll feign having reformed so that they get allowed out, or they'll genuinely seek to reform and get allowed out, then relent to their old obsessions. There is also a good chance that it will contain an Evil Counterpart (who may or may not be the same person as the Arch Enemy). However large and varied the Rogues Gallery, it will usually contain at least one villain who is considered to be the hero's Arch Enemy. When this occurs to such an extent that the villain becomes more identified with the new hero, they become a Rogues Gallery Transplant. Some even become part of more than one Rogues Gallery, with the Marvel villain Kingpin being a major enemy of both Daredevil and Spider-Man. Of course, villains can and do appear outside their traditional rogues galleries, fighting heroes they don't usually face. Superhero series, borrowing from the comic books, almost always have a Rogues Gallery. Sometimes, a one-shot stylish villain will be so popular with the audience that they join the ranks. If the hero helps one enemy or group of enemies against another in such a setup, it's Enemy Mine. The Rogues Gallery is a middle ground.įor certain special episodes, members of the Rogues Gallery may team up against the heroes, forming a Legion of Doom. On the other hand, audiences can never get attached to villains if they never come back again. #Eroges gallery series
Having only a single antagonist can work, but as a series goes on it can become boring. The Rogues Gallery is the cast of colorful Recurring Characters that show up to torment the heroes week after week.
