David Cain was originally added because Cassandra Cain was in the AU, and I had only drawn her mother, Lady Shiva. But AFTER I designed David, I removed Cassandra from the AU because I could not fit her within the narrative as I wanted to in this Batman's time. But, I decided to keep David anyways and I'm glad I did, because not only was my time not wasted, but it's just a cool design. I based this heavily off of Kabal but I tried to make it look like it could fit the Timeless Batman aesthetic with less of the Walmart-Ninja, or military ninja vibe that Cain normally has... Although when I say this and I look at it as I'm writing this lil paragraph, he looks a LOT like Storm Shadow from G.I. Joe... I kept the traditional overcoat from Cain's usual design, added the Kabal mask from Mortal Kombat, and that also included Kabal's hook swords, as I did not want to give Cain dual katanas, because I hate how that's the default sword for every artist with very little understanding of different swords and cultures- who said that? Other than that, it's a very simple and basic, all-white attire that finishes it off with the red, dotted, almost bug-like eyes in appearance that gives this David Cain a very killer vibe, literally. The story relevance for Cain here would be that he is an assassin, and as of right now he does not have any huge story significance other than going up against Lady Shiva at times which could make for a cool story arc in the future, but that will be decided later on. This needs some explanation, the Timeless Universe has changed a lot over the single year it's been a thing. Originally everyone was connected and each city acted as their own little time capsule, acting like how the LEGO games would have you walk into Gotham and immediately it would start raining. But then that idea became more of a headache because how the hell can I justify the Timeless Batman events and then have the Timeless Titans events happen in the same universe, and how exactly would it work of all these cities having different time periods and aesthetics? It works on paper but something needed to be done. I then had the idea that, what if Brainiac was collecting these different worlds with timeless time periods and he would then merge them together like a big Marvel Rivals-like event? Now, the story made much more sense. I was talking to a friend of mine and he suggested that maybe Brainiac would send Brainiac drones into the Big Three's worlds and watch from afar to gather intel on these 'timeless' worlds, worlds with no moving clock or sense of time. And thus, Calculator/Brainiac-2 was born. The reason why he's named as 2 is because Batman came after Superman, who would have Brainiac-1. Regardless, to finally get to the design. A lot of FNAF and Lies of P went into making this, with the body itself being inspired by the Scrapped Watchman and the rust, dirt, and grime along with the pose were inspired off of Golden Freddy's render from FNAF 2, originally he was going to be sitting like how GF does in that game's render, but I decided to make him hang from tubes instead. The only bright light would be the glowing pink eyes of the Brainiac logo. Out of all the villains, this one probably took the longest because of all the details I put into the design. Moving onto a much more simple design, we have Nocturna. She had a lot of revisions, kind of... Originally, she was going to be a lady of the night with a nightclub in Gotham, then she was going to be a ghostly assassin, and then I wanted to do something a lil more unique [kind of] and I decided to basically make her Sadako Yamamura from the Ring series... Same schtick too. Black hair, black dress, pale blue skin with no mouth and very large eyes that pierce your soul... Like I said: not too much to really talk about with Nocturna, other than the potential lore I could drop? I imagine this being a good murder case, detective story with a case of untraceable corpses that are seen in front of their TV screens... Or maybe screens in general. It would be a Batman/Zatanna story and it would end with Nocturna being sealed, dragged into a ghost dimension, or outright killed by Zatanna but I doubt about that last one. It sounds like a really interesting story though, so I might write something like it in the future! Like with Ratcatcher, Pyg as going to be a Nightwing villain, and in this case, Pyg IS a Dick Grayson villain during his time as Batman in the Grant Morrison run, so by default I do consider him a Nightwing villain as well... But I said screw it and I made him a villain in the Batman AU! His design is heavily based on Beware The Batman's Professor Pyg and a lil bit of Eddie Gluskin from Outlast: Whistleblower. I gave him the usual pinstriped suit with some wrinkles and even some skin exposed from his abdomen to give the illusion of a bigger frame. If you can't notice it already, his shoes also have the indication of being custom made to look like hooves that pigs would normally have! Just a little something to give the vibe of this guy being really into the whole pig aesthetic... Lore wise, I imagine Valentin being a ringleader for the Circus of Strange, where Croc comes from in this universe, but the circus would be a breeding ground for dangerous and mistreated humans made to be circus attractions with very little regard for their safety. This also includes the helpless victims, especially women and children, to become Dollotrons that reflect Pyg's very twisted ideal of perfection, brought onto him by his mother in early childhood. He would be incarcerated in Blackgate, later Arkham Asylum but would only grow even more insane, and whether he takes place before or after Jack The Ripper is still up in the air, but regardless he would be one of Gotham's most sick and disgusting murder cases, and something that will make for a really good arc for Waylon Jones.
