Description I feel like a total dork/nerd/geek/n00b doing this but she's been floating around in my head for like two weeks. This is a Batman OC (possibly Mary Sue) I made up. I've been watching a lot of Riddler episodes and she popped into my head after seeing Riddler's Revenge , Riddler Reform's Party Scene and finding out that OMG THE RIDDLER HAS A DAUGHTER which made me make a TAS Julie.

Character Synopsis:

Julie is a stage performer and Broadway actress who happens to meet the Riddler by chance. She had been denied a role in a recent play that she was depended on getting. Out of desperation, she takes a job with a Toy Company to sing a jingle. The jingle happens to be for Riddler Toys where she meets their poster boy and inventor at a commercial filming. She is charmed by him quickly and begins to connect various crimes happening in Gotham to him. Instead of turning him in or saying something to the president of the company, she becomes intrigued and drawn to it. Nygma is generally enjoying the newfound attention and begins to engage in riddle games with her that she begins to pick up.

Julie's fixation with the Riddler is mostly related to her father who died in a fire when she was a child. He encouraged her acting and had a love of games and puzzles almost to an obsessive point. She was in sole custody of her mother when it happened and so feels a great deal of guilt over the event. (Remember everyone in Gotham is a little crazy) Her descent into becoming Conundrum is out of need to be with him because of her separation from her father and her desire to cure him because her father could not be cured. Batman sees this fairly quickly and tries to get her to give it up, that the Riddler is obsessed and that throwing her life away isn't going to help. Julie is generally annoyed and tells him that he may be but she isn't and as all as she is involved in the crimes, he will get well. (Or there's always transcranial magnetic stimulation.) She escapes capture a number of times where she secret manages Eddy's finances, bails him out posing under various aliases and disguises as his sister, cousin, ect. but continues to act almost always giving her away.

I may do more with her because I find her cute. Please don't hate me.

I don't think she's a sue. In fact, I think she fits the Batman universe really well!

It's a rather nice picture. For a second there I thought she was Julie Madison from way back in the Batman mythos. I think it would've been interesting if she had that sort of connection to one of Batman's foes in present day.

I wouldn't worry too much about Mary Sue-ness. Art is about expression...On top of that, if you develop the character enough, you won't have to worry about. At least, in your own mind.

I'll see you again, in a place where no shadows fall.

And, I mean, hell. If you have to live the rest of your life in a memory...you might as well make it a good one.

I don't think she's a Mary-sue at all, I think she's a pretty cool Batman TAS OC and she is a good match for Eddy! I like her style. I have a Batman TAS oc too, as well as a TB oc, and as soon as you pair your characters with a canon one (really, any canon characters...), there's always peoples to go crazy and yell "Mary-sue" even if the character isn't one... -_-'

P.S. Just in case you want to know, my BTAS oc is with Jervis Tetch (Mad Hatter) and my TB oc is with Oswalt Cobblepot (The Penguin) XD

I absolutely, completely love her costume and her back story could actually work within the TAS universe. Good job!

Thank you kindly. Though I have to admit her being yet another one of my characters with an unhealthy relationship and daddy issues is beginning to worry me.

Julie has father issues. It's all very Freudian. If only Ed knew.

This is an amazing OC! I too have developed my own...erm...'Mary Sue' but it isn't for The Riddler. If possible, I would like to draw her or something, since her character through all your art has me hooked! I'm jealous of the idea.

I am developing my own Batman universe, and if you want, I can add in Julie as The Riddler's sidekick. Though my own version of the Riddler is not the same version of BTAS however.
