these vigilanti answers after this break. Welcome back trivia fans,
13
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.560
as we continue Villain's Week. I'd like to remind you
14
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.359
that we've been creating these trivia questions for a year
15
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.599
and a half now, so feel free to explore our
16
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:27.879
back catalog of over three one hundred forty episodes. Now
17
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:32.400
let's reveal today's answers. Question one, what was the Joker's
18
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:37.680
profession answer a failed stand up comedian. According to Alan
19
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:41.280
Moore's influential nineteen eighty eight graphic novel The Killing Joke,
20
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.359
the man who would become the Joker was a struggling
21
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.840
comedian who agreed to help criminals break into his former workplace.
22
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:52.519
This backstory, though presented as one possible origin, has influenced
23
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:57.760
many adaptations, including elements of twenty nineteen's Joker film. Question two,
24
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:03.359
What is Catwoman's real name? Answer? Selena Kyle. Selena Kyle
25
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:07.159
has been portrayed as a cat burglar and occasional anti
26
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:11.280
hero who has a complex relationship with Batman, sometimes as
27
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:14.840
an enemy and sometimes as a love interest. The character
28
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:18.479
has been portrayed in film by actresses including Michelle Pfeiffer,
29
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:24.039
Halle Berry, Anne Hathaway, and Zoe Kravitz. Question three, which
30
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:29.759
district attorney becomes two Face? Answer? Harvey Dent, once Gotham's
31
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:34.400
crusading district attorney and allied to Batman. Harvey Dent's transformation
32
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.120
into two Face occurred after criminal Salmroni threw acid on
33
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:41.840
his face during a trial, scarring half his face. The
34
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:45.560
trauma caused a psychological break, leading him to make decisions
35
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:50.080
based on the flip of his trademark scarred Coin. Question four,
36
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:55.199
what is the Penguin's birth name? Answer? Oswald Cobblepot. Born
37
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:58.199
into a wealthy family, but mocked for his short stature
38
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:02.479
and birdlike appearance, Oswald Cobblepot became the criminal known as
39
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:07.039
the Penguin. Unlike many Batman villains, he typically maintains a
40
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:11.400
veneer of respectability through his nightclub, the Iceberg Lounge, while
41
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:16.199
running criminal operations behind the scenes. Question five in which
42
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:20.800
film did Tom Hardy play Baine? Answer? The Dark Knight Rises?
43
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:25.319
Directed by Christopher Nolan. This twenty twelve film was the
44
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:29.560
final installment in his Batman trilogy. Hardy's portrayal of Baine
45
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:34.240
featured a physically imposing presence and distinctive masked voice. The
46
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.360
character was a strategic mastermind who managed to break Batman
47
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.680
both physically and mentally before being defeated in the film's climax.
48
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:47.879
That concludes Today's five Daily Trivia questions. I'm Mark Ellison,
49
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:51.840
