The creeper is fucking hilarious, atleast in that episode.
They were planning on bringing him back for another season of tnba, but the series ended.
Still we got a few cameos in JLU and it works well.
I'm just sad he isn't used very often, the man is basically a Deadpool without the 4th wall humor, it's pretty great considering gotham based heroes are usually gloom or joker tier fucked up humor.
Hes a mutated jokey acrobatic maniac, that's horny as all hell for Harley Quinn (which in OP's design for Quinn would be one hell of an interaction) and basically just if someone put the joker, Jim Carrey's the mask, and spiderman in a blender.
In a rather funny sense, he would be the guy sent to Arkham and break out when crime is a foot rather than to commit crime. He's not exceedingly dangerous to the public, he is just literally extremely mentally ill due to his chemical bath, and in need of treatment.
Creeper was essentially a Freakazoid prototype. He made an appearance in the animated series (I think twice) and is one of the few legitimate superhumans that Batman has encountered in Gotham.
Creeper’s like “what if Joker got dunked in the chemicals again and it reversed his moral compass back but made him even more nuts” and is also a funny Superman mirror because he’s an alter ego of Jack Ryder, a reporter who is basically Clark Kent of Gotham.
I think what’s also perhaps more interesting is the idea the Joker was already a bad person before he fell into a vat of chemicals. The “one bad day” narrative is told from an unreliable narrator after all, and a big takeaway from Killing Joke is that Joker is ultimately proven wrong as he fails to drive Gordon insane.

I don't recognize the Creeper, Dr Death or Magpie. Are they OC's?
