BAT-MEME!
I have come up with a meme. Here's how it works:

1. Go to Wikipedia.
2. Select your language and choose the Random Article link
3. Use the topic on the resulting page as the basis for a thematically-obsessed Batman villain.

You can use this image to introduce your new Bat-villain to the world at large. I've already done a few:











I dunno, I thought it was funny ...


(PS, I'm using Letter-O-Matic from Blambot fonts. Please don't use Comic Sans, it is awful)

I used "Encyclopedia Dramatica" for source material instead of Wikipedia. I also didn't make it into an image, because of reasons.

"Batman, we've received a threatening message at Police Headquarters from your nemesis, Grieving Jew!"

"Yes, a twisted genius who is obsessed with when a company tries to get some hardcore lulz by firing people and liquidating assets."
