Welcome back trivia fans, as we continue Villain's Week. I'd like to remind you that we've been creating these trivia questions for a year and a half now, so feel free to explore our back catalog of over three one hundred forty episodes. Now let's reveal today's answers. Question one, what was the Joker's profession answer a failed stand up comedian. According to Alan Moore's influential nineteen eighty eight graphic novel The Killing Joke, the man who would become the Joker was a struggling comedian who agreed to help criminals break into his former workplace.

1:48 This backstory, though presented as one possible origin, has influenced many adaptations, including elements of twenty nineteen's Joker film. Question two, What is Catwoman's real name? Answer? Selena Kyle. Selena Kyle has been portrayed as a cat burglar and occasional anti hero who has a complex relationship with Batman, sometimes as an enemy and sometimes as a love interest. The character has been portrayed in film by actresses including Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry, Anne Hathaway, and Zoe Kravitz. Question three, which district attorney becomes two Face? Answer? Harvey Dent, once Gotham's crusading district attorney and allied to Batman. Harvey Dent's transformation into two Face occurred after criminal Salmroni threw acid on his face during a trial, scarring half his face. The trauma caused a psychological break, leading him to make decisions based on the flip of his trademark scarred Coin. Question four, what is the Penguin's birth name? Answer? Oswald Cobblepot. Born into a wealthy family, but mocked for his short stature and birdlike appearance, Oswald Cobblepot became the criminal known as the Penguin. Unlike many Batman villains, he typically maintains a veneer of respectability through his nightclub, the Iceberg Lounge, while running criminal operations behind the scenes. Question five in which film did Tom Hardy play Baine? Answer? The Dark Knight Rises?

3:21 Directed by Christopher Nolan. This twenty twelve film was the final installment in his Batman trilogy. Hardy's portrayal of Baine featured a physically imposing presence and distinctive masked voice. The character was a strategic mastermind who managed to break Batman both physically and mentally before being defeated in the film's climax. That concludes Today's five Daily Trivia questions.
