I didn't really feel like coloring these (I'm kind of tired and a little sick, still. Stay tuned, I may piss and moan about it in a locked post, one never knows).

Anyway, The Batman's Rogues Gallery.







"Rogues Gallery" always confuses me a little. Should "Rogues" be possessive? Is it the Rogues' Gallery, or the Hero's Gallery of Rogues? I never know where the apostrophe goes, I guess is what.

Rogues' Gallery.

I presume.

Now you've got me thinking about it.

I just get winded imagining "Batman's Rogues' Gallery."

Also, can one hero have multiple Galleries? Could it be "Batman's Rogues' Galleries?"

Man.

I like how Killer Croc is all stompy. Also, how the riddler looks kind of sad, as if he knows he's the butt of jokes throughout the Batman's Rogues Gallery Discussion Community.

I don't really know the proper grammar terms, but you don't want an apostrophe after Rogues. Rogues is a noun here, a naming word. It's not possessive. So you've got it correct there:

Batman's Rogues Gallery.

I'm so glad that you included the Man-Bat in this collection though my heart is still with Little Scarecrow and his exquisitely named cannister. I imagine that Little Riddler's book is similarly generic.

As for the titular gallery, I'll offer my late opinion on the side of the unapostrophed version. Even though it seems weird to have a plural noun modifying gallery, it makes more sense to me than having the gallery be the possession of the rogues. I reasoned it like this:

rogue gallery = a gallery that is, in itself, a mischievous scoundrel
rogues' gallery = a group of enemies of one man who self-identify as a collective (See, would The Joker ever refer to himself as part of Batman's gallery of rogues? That just doesn't seem his style.)
rogues gallery = a collection of rogues
Rogue's gallery = the place where the X-Men showcase their paintings

Even after reading the comment on it above, it took me three looks before I got the awesomeness of the fact that he is SCARING A CROW.

Also, I dig the inclusion of the jokerfish.

And just so we are clear (and depressing) this stuff is too copywritten to ever appear in some sort of collected edition, right?

i love that mister freeze has an ice cream cone, which he clearly cannot eat, and therefore simply stares at in a mixture of befuddlement and anger.

oh the under-rated GLORY of the riddler (my favourite batsy villan) ^_^
i love how you potray him ^_^
i alo like (and i may be seen as a traitor to the comics for this) the newer t.v animated series version, he seems slightly more psychotic *tilts head at wonders* if you don't know what i'm on about

i also like the joker from this series, but i do prefer the comic book version of him ^.^
