Batman Villans?

September 25th, 2008

I'm trying to write my own Batman fanfiction, and I'm trying to keep it true to the official storyline. I understand that overtime in Batman some characters have been killed off, come back from the dead, or certain writers have changed a few things here and there. So to avoide confusion I must ask what is the current status of the following Batman villans in the official DC universe. Are they deceased, detained, retired, active, or what?

Mr. Freeze
Poison Ivy
Bane
Two Face
Scarecrow
Jason Todd/Red Hood
Arthur Brown/Cluemaster
The Riddler
Bane
Black Mask
Hush/Thomas Elliot
Ras isn't coming back from the grave (again) unitl November. And everyone knows that the Joker is active (can you picture batman without the Joker) The Mad hatter I have no intention of using because he isn't exactly the kind of villan who fits the bill for what I'm going to write.

Considering that DC quite often publishes Batman graphic novels outside of the continuity of the regular Batman series, I wouldn't worry too much about the current status of the villains. They even have multiple Batman comic books series that work off of different timelines and styles running at the same time, so I don't think you need to worry about that too much.

Also, you seem to be missing the Joker, Clayface, the Mad Hatter, and Ra's Al Ghul off your list, unless you didn't plan on using them.
