POOMM! There’s a new sheriff in town, criminals! With that dramatic lighting, their nerves surely will fray!
Although technically, I guess Kickman is the criminal here, since murder is legal here in the Murder District of Villain City. In fact, there are quotas for city council members.
So… uh…
There’s a new vigilante in town, law-abiding civic leaders!
Kickman laying down some hard truths. If Batman’s criminals had Superman hunting them down, they’d probably fold up shop and move out of Gotham. The lesson here for superheroes, is that sometimes it’s okay to punch down.
Oh, while I’m here. Why don’t we have another round of villain-naming? Name the four villains in the first two panels, and earn some awesome Kick Points! Also, if you name them, you become their sponsor. You can beg in the comments for your villain to appear in the next strip. Pretend you are “Agent Phoebe” from FRIENDS.
“Slitherlocks, why are you here in this forest?”
“I do not know… my agent secured this gig.”
“While you’re here, want to help us bury these bodies?”
“….no….”
Waay to late for KICKMAN YEAR ONE. *
* Another sign I misspent my youth,, er, middle years.
“Oh, while I’m here. Why don’t we have another round of villain-naming?”
Rhino Mullet and I’m done.
…Murder muffin for the clown?
No wait! I’m outta this!!!
I can’t name any of them, I’m already watching over Foursight and Bank Shot.
…Who have finished their daily criminal duties (as evil private eyes) and are now lending their time to evil charity pushing old ladies into the street.
Now they’re getting away in the absolutely horrifying anatomically accurate eyevan.
OH SHOOT! AGENT PHOEBE’S PUT ONE RIGHT THROUGH THE FENDER!!
Foursight swerves the van through a hail of gunfire while Bank Shot throws his ‘most congenial’ award at the agent.
And I’m outta space (I think) Good luck Foursight and Bank Shot!
So what is the Flaming Dessert? Post your best guess here! (pretty certain it’s not baked Alaska)
Filet Minion
I’ll call it the Evil Tart Flambe.
Actually Evil Tart could be that villainess on the far right…
“Actually Evil Tart could be that villainess on the far right…”
Danger Tart works for me. As the name needed to start with Danger for reasons.
Axehead, Daggerty Ann, Knot Guy, The Purple Pistol.
Oh, Daggerty Ann is good!
Bad Axe, for the guy with the rhino horn helmet.
Daggery Anne is a win, I second.
The knot guy? Sheepshank, because it’s a common knot, but it sounds dirty.
Eyepatch? One-Eyed Devil, since she has a devil face on her top.
Oh, and Vinnie the Hair for the guy in the cloak with the Sylvio Dante hairline.
“Eyepatch? One-Eyed Devil, since she has a devil face on her top.”
Whatever you pick “Danger” better start it. I assume many here remember “Danger Mouse”.
We will speak no more of the strange passages of my life.
Vinnie the Hair is actually just the waiter. 🙂
I can’t name the specific film but I know that this page is based on one of the animated Batman movies.
Sigh! Go look up “Batman Year One”. The whole sequence is in there.*
*Kids Today!
Is that before or after the Adam West series?
Sorry, is that set before or after the Adam West series?
Thanks, also I get your “Kickman year one” joke now😁
Panel 1, left: Axe Crazy. Panel 1, right: Circuspect Violence.
Panel 2, left: Hitting a miss on that. It looks like he’s wearing a snake as a tie but I’m not sure so I got nuthin’. Panel 2, right: nondescript costume, no idea on powers. Give us something to work with Matt!
Everyone calls her ‘Circus’ for short which she finds infuriating.
Panel 2: Thuggeeknot, (I assume the ‘snake’ merlin’s referring to is rope, the guy’s a strangleur and it’s a real weapon of murder from history). and The Killmando (portmanteu of “Killer” and “Commando”, also with a slight pun if her preferred victims are XY presenting males).
Panel 1: I’ll toss another vote for “Axe Crazy” for the guy with the hatchet-helmet. His feminine colleague looks more like she’s dolled up as a doll (Child’s toy) than as a clown or mime, so maybe ‘Murderdoll’?
Murderdoll?
You’re talking about Daggerty Ann, a name that won’t be topped. (wish I was clever enough to come up with that)
I must…agree with you, SVGeezer. Daggerty-Anne is a baws name.
I recognise a callback in this strip. This is a callback to the superheroes in trouble at the start of The Pruning.
Similar. I probably should have had more villains complaining about stuff in the last scene in Mickey’s Bar.
Sometimes you wanna go, where everybody knows your complains…!
Pruning #4 I think, maybe #11.
The big guy in panel #2? Flexecutioner,
Second panel are clearly Hangman and Nicki Fury.
The Axident, Gingham Clown (Daggerty Anne wins hands down, but I had to have SOMETHING), Hangman (his gang is called the Knotty Boys), and Devil’s Eye.
I really wanted to call the last lady the Monocolonel, but not quite classy enough, unless she just took off her monocle while eating at the dinner table.
