Secret Six mini 4/6
Writing dialogue for the Hatter was my favorite part of that collection. A bat-writing friend of mine said it was the first time they'd ever WANTED to see the Hatter in comics.
He was being nice, but it brought around the point that readers are so Joker- and Catwoman-happy that they tend not to like the villains like the Penguin and the Mad Hatter.
I don't know what to say to that…i LOVE Oswald and Jervis SO MUCH more than the Joker. I think they are vastly more interesting. Every chance I get to write either one, I take it. What I love is that they don't seem intimidating. They don't kill everyone who crosses their path, which gets a little windy and dull, to my mind.
Their ugliness comes out SLOWLY. And when it does, it's devastating. Love those two.
