Hella old warm-up piece I did for Selina like a million years ago. I have so much backlog art that I've never posted to Tumblr so I will be sprinkling those in every now and then.

Ya'll talking about Ra's had me thinking of the Villain Community as a whole. Is there a Villian Unsaid Hierarchy?
Like heroes get pissed if you off one of their own, but nobody really talks about the Villains' reaction. There have been instances of it happening though.
That episode in BTAS when Batman was 'killed' and all the Villains were targeting the poor civilian that said he did it. Or when EVERYONE was jumping KGBeast for what he did to Nightwing. Than Inertia getting hunted down and killed by Flash's Rogues.
Those at the top of the hierarchy as a whole are villains like Doom, Darksied and Brainiac that can get away with killing anyone. After them the Heirachy is personalized for the hero. For Batman(Batfamily as a whole), it's Joker, than Ra's. Nightwing in my opinion has Deathstroke, Superman has Lex at the top of his and Cheetah at the top of Wonderwoman's.
If a Villain isn't at the very least in the top 3 maybe even top 5 of the Hierarchy, they won't be getting away with killing that hero. The Heroes AND Villains are coming for them. Yea, you can run and hide from the Joker by leaving Gotham but you can't hide from Ra's, that man has all the time in the world.
Go ahead and kill the hero, it'll just make your problems worse. After all, some villains are just small fish in a littler pond hidden away on a hero's island. The true predators are the ones circling it.
I love this. I’ve always wanted to see more about Joker VS Ra’s and Talia when it comes to who feels ownership for Bruce (and sometimes his kids) or even Minhkhoa. The latter two have a better claim of knowing him longer.
I’m dropping this tidbit here since I’m not sure it’ll make it explicitly into eye in the sky but — this is kinda what I imagined happened with Damian when the Justice League fell and the Regime rose to power. I think Ra’s and Talia came for Bruce and Damian, who was maybe trapped with him, because they couldn’t allow an evil Superman to hold them hostage, to reveal his identity so callously, to take him from Earth. But something happened, and they could only ever rescue Damian from the Watchtower — Bruce had to stay behind. Even though Ra’s and Talia would move mountains to free him. And indeed would continue to work with the Insurgency solely to get Bruce out.

I finally finished my version of the Joker! I really hope someone will like my JJ and I'll see fanart on him^^
It also has references to two artists in it, @bepoucorp (earrings) and @jonkleringjerster (tailbone tattoo).
Thanks for the inspiration, guys!

— Yandere Jonathan Crane —
"Do you know where you are?
"Arkham Asylum."
"Good. Your memory is improving. Are you still having those dreams?"
"Yes."
"I want you to describe them to me again. I know you don't remember much."
"I-It was extremely dark out. I remember that. There was this strange smell in the air. It goes blank after that. I vaguely remember feeling someone's hands ghost my body. When I woke up, it was a massacre. They were dead all around me."
"You had a psychotic breakdown. There was a leaking gas pipe that caused you to hallucinate. When the Gotham police came to the crime scene they say they saw you with a mask in hand."
"It was more like a straw bag. I-I don't remember ever having anything like that before... except for when you—"
"I see the light bulb appearing above your head. You are very smart, you know? That's why I picked you."
"Scarecrow."
"Such an astute observation. I wouldn't suggest you start screaming. No one will believe someone diagnosed as clinically insane, especially not someone who committed mass murder, such as yourself. I see you are sobbing now. It's a natural bodily reaction to relieving stress. Would you like a tissue, my dear?"
"Why?"
"Oh? You ask the predator why it stalks its prey? That's a question I am delighted to answer. It's simple, really. I am intoxicated by you."
