Just thinking about what if Penguin found an orphan baby raven while watching birds somewhere, but he couldn’t take it in, because he already has too many birds so he shows up at Jonathan’s door like

THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. It may save a life, It may save your life.)
An Article from Neena Susan Thomas
“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.
3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.
4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.
5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.
6] Number three is public restrooms.
7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.
8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.
9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.
10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.
POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:
1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.
4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.
5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.
6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.
7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.
FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.
2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .
b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

Oswald cobblepot makes my heart go bathump bathump for real
Accent, speech pattern and Voice headcanons for the Gotham Rogues.
Riddler
- In casual settings, Eddie has a slight New Jersey accent and cusses with the frequency you would expect from that.
- He almost always has perfect grammar and has a very impressive vocabulary.
- But there are some situations where "Fuck" just does not have a suitable replacement.
- When he's going against Batman, The Riddler adopts a more trans Atlantic accent since it goes with his gameshow aesthetic.
- Also since a LOT of his schemes are publicly televised he doesn't want to cuss on camera or forget to project his voice.
- So adopting a different accent helps his brain remember how to act on camera so he can always appear classy.
- Edward's voice is a bit more high and nasally than average, but not to an annoying degree. It's not particularly unique either. So if he remembers so change his voice slightly then he can make a phone call to anywhere and they won't recognize him.
- Emotional variations include his accent getting thicker when he's angry or exhausted.
Scarecrow
- John has a very rural Georgian accent.
- Scarecrow: The Master Of Fear has a rather dramatic way of speaking due to his love of classic literature and poetry.
- His years in academia have also left him with a very intellectual and scientific vocabulary.
- John speaks with a kind of intensity and eloquence that you'd expect on a stage rather than at the front of a classroom.
- A smooth baritone only enhances the effect.
- Had he not been a professor, he would have made a killing as a raidio star or television narrator.
- John only breaks out Southernisms when he's embarrassed. "Well I never!" "Why I outta-" he also stammers when embarrassed. otherwise his speech patterns don't have noticeable emotional variation except the ones he puts there.
Mad Hatter
- Jervis has a strong Bristol accent. Which is an English accent that strongly pronounces R's and tends to slap an L at the end of words that should end in a vowel.
- The classic example is Opera'l instead of Opera.
- His voice is naturally high and soft, often making him sound much more indulgent toward others than he's actually feeling.
- Although he does quote the Alice books often, he does not quote longer passages exactly unless he's having an episode.
- The rest of the time he'll change them to fit what's happening or merely reference them.
- If he's feeling particularly lucid and cheery, you may not even hear mention of the books at all.
- Stress will cause longer more accurate quotes and chip at his lucidity along the way.
- His only other emotional variation comes out when he's feeling flirtatious.
- Jervis's voice tends to get more breathy and cooing around people he likes. He also goes harder on his R's giving some words a purr like sound.
Harley Quinn
- We all know and love our girl Harley's Brooklyn accent.
- Honestly I can't make an improvement on the BTAS version so scroll down.
Poison Ivy
- Pam has a Virginian accent. It's the kind of southern bell accent you'd associate with Blanche Devereux.
- Pair that with a voice like a lounge singer and everything that comes out of her mouth sounds sexy.
- Even when she doesn't want it to.
- It's actually pretty annoying for her.
- Unlike John she uses plenty of southernisms such as "I Reckon" "Over yonder" and of course the venom filled "Bless your heart."
Catwomen
- The Miami accent is strong on this women, and it tells you exactly why she moved to Gotham.
- You can't wear all black leather in the kind of weather Florida's got.
- Miami heat isn't sweet to everyone.
- Being a second generation Cuban immigrant, she speaks Spanish fluently and while she speaks both it and English seamlessly she has run into one glitch.
- She will occasionally forget whether a turn of phrase was originally English or Spanish.
- She called John a dancing skeleton once and no one has let it die. From Esqueleto rumbero- Literally: Dancing skeleton, Meaning: Very thin.
- Her actual voice is a pretty standard alto. Like Ed, as long as she disguises her accent she can basically call wherever without being recognized.
- Another rogue that hits their R's harder while flirting. But it's less a seductive purr and more an "Oh, I'm being HUNTED" kind of sound to hear.
Bane
- Bane is directly from Venezuela and has the accent to match.
- His English is phenomenal for someone who's only been speaking it a few years but it's not always perfect.
- Whenever he doesn't know or forgets the word for something he'll describe it using other words until the other person figures it out for him.
- For example, this interaction between him and Riddler: "I need the office knives." "... I'm sorry, what?" "The office knives, with the holes in the handle." "Hmmm, is the answer perhaps scissors?" "YES! I need the scissors!"
- Edward is the grand champion of figuring out what Bane is saying if Catwomen or Music Meister isn't there to translate the word from Spanish.
- Bane has a naturally loud and deep voice which can make him sound aggressive even when he's not trying to be. His size doesn't help.
- But really he's a very calm and levelheaded person.
- If he's actually angry, you'll know it from how quiet deliberate his speech becomes.
- A quiet Bane is a dangerous Bane.
Joker
- New York accent.
- Drops occasional NY phrases but doesn’t mention anything culturally significant to New York unless someone else brings it up.
- He doesn't remember what part of New York he's from but if asked he'll say Coney Island.
- His jealousy over Eddie growing up in Wildwood is real.
- Harley swears up and down he's from Staten Island and anyone familiar with the different New York accents would agree with her.
- Joker has a pretty distinct reedy voice that all gothamites will recognize as soon as they hear it.
- It gets even higher on the rare occasion he's scared or nervous.
Music Meister
- SoCal (Southern California) accent.
- This accent is also called Valley Girl.
- He's originally from San Diego and spent his early twenties in LA so the accent is thick and locked in.
- He moved to the east coast to attempt a Broadway career before turning to villainy and kind of regrets not moving back west first.
- He's the first person to complain about cold weather and bad Mexican food when the chance pops up.
- But he's gotten too fond of the other rogues to seriously consider leaving.
- Even if the Scarecrow keeps smacking him with a newspaper every time he misuses the word "literally".
- He automatically starts singing his words when he becomes frightened or incredibly nervous. Which made sense until he revealed he did that even before he got his powers.
- Odd.
Killer Croc
- Waylon has a thick cajun accent, that along with a naturally growly bass voice can make it difficult for others to understand him.
- He prefers speaking French to English and will go out of his way to talk to people he thinks might speak his preferred language.
- Jervis, Edward, Victor Fries and Joker speak with him in French when in a one on one conversation.
- Yes Joker speaks French, no he doesn’t remember why or how. He honestly didn’t even know he could until he met Waylon.
- Waylon is incredibly charming and personable once you figure out what he's saying, he's definitely the most well liked rogue among his peers next to Harley.
- Emotional variants include getting even more growly when angry and speaking completely in French when distracted.
Penguin
- A lot of people say he has an English accent, he doesn’t, never say this in front of him.
- The man is WELSH, and he has ruined people’s lives over having his accent confused on particularly difficult days.
- He takes great pride in his heritage and being accused of being “English” of all things is one of the quickest ways to sour his mood.
- No offense to Mr. Tetch of course, it's the principle of the thing really.
- He rarely speaks Welsh these days unless visiting extended family.
- He does use the proverb “Deuparth gwaith yw ei ddechrau”(Two-thirds of work is starting), mostly to himself but he’ll use the proverb with others when appropriate.
- Emotional variants include his voice getting squawk like when scared. He also laughs like a mad pelican.
Clayface
- I forget who came up with this originally and I'm kicking myself for not remembering but I've adopted the head canon that Clayface was an "aging" K-pop/drama star that was on tour in the states when his manager coerced him into trying an experimental cosmetic treatment that turned him into Clayface.
- So Clay has a very strong Korean accent and probably speaks the worst English out of all the rogues.
- It's passable but he understandably just wasn't expecting to need it this much.
- Despite his difficulties he still somehow gains control over the majority of his conversations and seems to exude likability.
- He's trained for years to make his voice as soothing and pleasant as possible and he's not going to let being a mud monster ruin his hard work.
- Until something triggers his traumatic memories and sends him into a frothing rage full of bubbling curses or a depressive meltdown where he becomes a pile of blubbering goo.
- He's totally incomprehensible when he's having either kind of breakdown even to other Korean speakers, honestly HE doesn't even really know what he's saying.
- Many of the rogues have hired him to put his acting skills to use in various schemes and Clayface is amazed at all the new voices he can do.
- He's also been Music Meister's backup vocalist for a few of his schemes so you know he's legitimately good.
Bookworm
- He has a rather general east coast accent.
- Until he gets angry and starts cursing in Portuguese.
- You'd never guess because he's an ashy fucker and his skin never sees the sun since he spends all his time reading inside, but the guy is mainly indigenous Brazilian.
- You might be able to get a clue from his facial features if he wasn't wearing the world's thickest glasses and a hat.
- He has near permanent "Library voice" so people often struggle to hear him above everything else that might be going on.
- His voice is surprisingly sonorous and captivating when he can be well heard.
- Since Arkham doesn't often get new books, fresh literature was fought over until Joker suggested "AudioBookworm" which is just Bookworm reading the new book aloud for everyone.
- Until his little used voice gives out a bit at which point Scarecrow or Mad Hatter will step in until the end of the chapter.
Mr. Freeze
- Victor has a moderate Icelandic accent.
- Riddler and Joker have a competition going to see how many lines from Skyrim they can trick him into saying.
- Victor figured it out immediately but plays dumb to this day in order to fuck with them.
- He said "Hey, you. You're finally awake." to Edward after he woke up from a nap in the rec room once and Victor will treasure the face that nerd made forever.
- Victor has a bit of a "resting bitch voice" he always sounds annoyed.
- Unless he's talking to Nora, then he just sounds like a simp.
- Not really a voice head canon but he gets hiccups very easily from laughing.
BONUS Nora
- Nora is from Belarus so she often got mistaken for having a Russian accent.
- But unlike Oswald she rarely cares enough to correct people much less get angry over it.
- Nora speaks with great confidence and authority, even when she doesn't necessarily have either.
- Her voice definitely broadcasts "Don't even fucking THINK about arguing with me."
- The personality and accent get her the nickname "Ice queen" wherever she works.
- Which is very unfair, she's a kind and compassionate women!
- She's just also right and she should say it.
- Nora's voice becomes utterly saccharine around Victor, they're absolutely obnoxious to listen to together.
Scarecrow from Future State has such a nice design, I will never get over how little they did with it.
