Did this version of the Ventriloquist ever get any interesting storylines or appearances?
She was the best one. I can’t believe they brought back the original nerd male version.
I have to disagree. While she wasn't awful, this version lacked what made the first dynamic so interesting: That a mild mannered, spineless loser was expressing his darkest thoughts and acting on them through the use of a puppet, thus in effect separating himself from them. The female Ventriloquist was just your standard revenge story.
Yes, I love the cheesecake of blonde Jessica Rabbit here, but shes just not as compelling. She should return though, as well as Mad Hatter #2.
It would have been thematically more fitting if she was a mousy, spineless, unattractive middle aged woman expressing those dark thoughts instead of an attractive young woman, but that'll be less appealing to the reader.
What was her deal? I really don’t know.
COOM
CONSOOM
REPOOM
I know nothing of this version but if I had to write her, here’s how I’d do it. I’d have her be the daughter of a former mob boss and was quite frankly abused by one of his top men. I’d have a take over happen and her dad is murdered by the new boss she snaps and this scarface is her “dad” he’s back and this time he won’t lose again. At least that’s how I’d right her as a character. It would also give the therapists something fun to deal with since her comfort is scarface since it’s like her dad. This could also shine a dark mirror of Batman because she’d also be a victim of losing her parent like Bruce. Molded by grief but comes out twisted.
Now that you've said that, it reminds me how we need more villain stories where the hero is there and definitely an obstacle, but their real target is some other gangster/villain/saving their sick wife. Something where the villain can win and its not strictly a loss if the hero doesn't manage to stop them or they get away.
April moon.
>Ow my wrist! It’s not broken but it’s definitely pulled.
Ah frick, my chainsaw knees! God, why did I replace my knees with chainsaws?
So did Dr corso lobotomize April, replacing a minimum but significant parts of her brain to make sure she stayed as his wife? Also a karmic condition for herself?
Didn't they kill her off?
You’re asking the wrong thread man, I admitted I knew nothing of this version.
Paul Dini gave her a beginning, a middle and an ending. It was a a fine story.
I’m surprised he didn’t include her in Adventures Continue like he did with the Wonderland Gang and Knut Brody.
What if, we have a big booba dommy dummy with a regular dude ventriloquist?
A great chapter in Superman Fricks Gotham
