Alfred walked into the room where Bruce Wayne spent most of his day time with research and contemplation. Bruce had hardly even noticed the presence of his old companion until Alfred cleared his throat.
"There's a man on the phone for you," Alfred said trying to get Bruce's attention. Bruce reluctantly pulled himself away from the novel he was reading and turned to his butler. Alfred's neutral expression never changed, it seemed, unless he were to make a joke he found amusing only to himself.
"Who is it?" Bruce finally asked. The most important thing to him at that moment was figuring out who this new villain was and what his plans were next. He felt he was getting so close now, and to have a phone call, which was probably some sort of business call, was not what he was looking forward to.
"I don't know, sir, he never said," Alfred replied. Noticing the immediate lack of interest in Bruce's tired face, he quickly added, "but it sounded important."
There was a pause where only the soft ticking of the grandfather clock was to be heard. It was a relic, and Bruce's only surviving piece from the fire that was his father's. The ticking reminded him of who he was when the dusk settled into night, and reminded him how important his research is at this moment. He knew he was onto something.
And yet, what if it were Fox with something important to tell him? He could never deny him a phone call just because he was in a groove. But no, Fox would have said it was him, and Alfred would have mentioned it from the start.
Now the caller started to intrigue Bruce. He very rarely got called. Bruce stretched out his hand towards the phone Alfred carried, and Alfred placed the phone into his hand.
"Hello, this is Bruce." Bruce forced himself to sound cocky and uninterested. He never liked doing it.
"Oh, Bruce," a sing-song voice chimed through the grain of the phone. This was no one he knew, and the voice was almost....creepy.
"Who is this?" Bruce asked more concerned.
The voice in the phone laughed a little, more sultry and melodious. "Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle! You may call me the Mad Hatter, my good sir. Oh, and Bruce?" The man on the phone paused, maybe for dramatic purposes, but Bruce didn't reply anyway. His voice came through the phone as if he put himself closer to the mic making his almost singing voice billow into grain. "Bruce, I know your secret."
This is my interpretation of The Mad Hatter in Batman. Too bad Noland isn't thinking about making another movie, cause I think the Mad Hatter would be a pretty fun villain.
This was done completely in Photoshop.
Sorry if he's not ugly enough.
EDIT: I totally forgot his card! So I added it. Man, I suck.
Ugly? No, dude . . . he's actually . . . kinda attractive . . . just a little . . .
This is an amazingly awesome pic!

Impressive... It is true that he isn't exactly ugly, but there is definitely something foreboding about him. And this slight twitch on the side of his mouth is just so well rendered... Dd you use any reference? In any case, this is some incredible job!
