Ventriloquist Origin | DC Comics

[@lotusgal313]

I always had a soft spot for Arnold. He always felt more like a victim than a villain. A slave to his own unstable mind

[@adamnugent2137]

same here. it goes to show how someone can be so messed up in the mind

[@ottomaximus19]

instablaster...

[@colebowman7685]

I think he’s always been a victim

[@erinboateng5961]

Yeah he’s always been

[@jackster9775]

Also Scarface didn’t usually kill random people.

[@VampRune]

I liked how his condition makes it hard for him to be controlled. When Psycho Pirate tried to manipulate him, Scarface popped out as his right hand and knocked the Pirate out.

[@deshawnedwards6412]

The Ventriloquist, I love The Ventriloquist & Scarface! They're favorite underrated Batman villain.

They are so underrated. It’s a shame they weren’t a big villain in the tv show Gotham

[@lendelostrinos4981]

He's my second favourite and I wish he will be in injustice 2

[@lunamoonstone2350]

i always felt bad for the ventriloquist he seemed like a scared man, yet scarface did freak me out. i am glad in the animated series of batman the ventriloquist was able to break free of scarface and live a normal life.

Arnold wessler is a very tragic character his parents died when he was young he has like heartbreak as adult which killed someone and was sent to Arkham Asylum thought about committing suicide and instead became a slave to a puppet forced to do horrible crimes

[@pamelaisleypoisonivy9411]

Wessler? It’s Wesker.

[@colebowman7685]

@@pamelaisleypoisonivy9411 Dude he doesn’t know how to spell so don’t be mean to him it was I think What he wrote was true it is sad in Arkham asylum he was gonna Commit suicide but instead he had to be a slave to a puppet with a gash on his cheek or eye whatever it is that forced him to do crimes

[@jalenikezeue4114]

When I first learned about Scarface I was always lead to believe that he was a manifestation of Wesker's split personality

[@QUARTERMASTEREMI6]

That would make sense.

[@legoc-3po845]

He kind of his, even though Scarface demands and forces Wesker to do things for him, a lot of the times Wesker itself makes evil stuff without Scarface ordering him to do so. So Scarface is just an object, he itself not cursed but he easily makes Wesker change his personality from a shy and scadery man to a criminal mastermind.

[@cole6843]

The ventriloquist is my favorite batman rogue. He's so sad, funny, and scary at the same time.

[@ivangomez123]

Congratulations for this new bio of the Ventriloquist, a very peculiar villain. That's why I love your channel so much. I hope for more of this bios.

[@ComicOrigins]

Thank you so much!

[@christineking8183]

You know now that I see it, the piece wood from the gallows Donnegan used to create the ventriloquist doll may be a cursed object possessed by one of the evil spirits who were hung from the same gallow that was used as a piece of wood fragment making the puppet the conduit for evil spirits and emotions.

That's a fact

[@pebblebrookbooks4852]

Ya i subscribe to all those.

[@pebblebrookbooks4852]

Also like how Arnold is so passive aggressive ("it was an accident .... ") that in the absence of a puppet, he might use everyone and anyone around him as one.

[@creekchub4200]

Comic Origins:is Scarface haunted or not? The Viewer:Yes,he was built from recycled wood from a hanging post.

[@trexadvent4726]

Imagine if Ventriloquist /Scarface teaming up with the Superman villain Toy Man? Can you do comic book origin of Toy Man?

[@digitpixel9198]

That'll be everything

[@EDifyer881]

hmmmm that's a very good idea

[@rexflamevermillion5527]

When you're inner demons meet a cursed tree..... Welp it ain't a pretty combination

[@MONSTER743]

What I find creepy about Arnold is that his glasses lenses are almost never clear. Giving him a almost menacing gaze as we never see his eyes. Like that trope were a character with glasses has them reflecting light when they get serious.

[@trexadvent4726]

What would happen if Arnold and his puppet were used in children's birthdays instead of crime? Is he that psychotic to become a killer and become the sidekick of his own puppet?

[@unclefranklin4575]

The 2004 batman cartoon did that. Except Arthur was the host of a children's show with a new kid friendly puppets. But Hugo strange stopped his rehabilitation by sneaking scarface back into his life.

Can you do The Origin of The Mad Hatter, Maxie Zeus, Calendar Man and Anarky?

[@kane3j336]

Mad hatters first plz

[@MrMozzie]

I only knew that the mad hatter was in the dc universe because of that classic LEGO Batman videogamr

[@Xehanort10]

Arnold: Spare me Scarface please. I've always been loyal to you. Scarface: Go ahead. Beg, plead. It ain't gonna do ya no good.

[@Xx_Tuberculosis_xX]

TL:DR The puppet was constructed with wood from the gallows of Black-gate penitentiary Eventually finding an owner who was eventually killed by a man named Arnold who then went on a crime spree of drugs and money forming a gang. Then meeting with batman and becoming one of his main focuses

[@MrOrcshaman]

I liked the BTAS explanation the best, how he described it, Arnold and Scarface are two separate identities, two personalities, completely separate from one another. Wesker isn't pretending to be scarface, Scarface simply exists as another indivigual in weskers damaged mind.

[@ianbalba3438]

I love the Narration, its like watching a crime documentary. Nice work!

[@nobod2567]

0:08 the best Scarface quote ever!

[@dev7602]

Your delivery of the DC comic stories are epic. Love the words at the bottom of the screen. The music. The illustrations, motion pictures. Reference to which comic. The year. Love the question at the beginning. Such skill you have. Thank you for taking the time to create these. ❤ Feel silly for saying or asking, for the questions if possible could you display it a little longer. I feel so slow reading it. Thank you for sharing your gift with us and the DC Universe! Legend mate!

[@bentowers7743]

I'd love to see the origin stories for, The Creeper, Beast Boy, Ravager, Raven, Big Barda, Red Hood, and Doomsday.

[@thegayone1911]

I’m still not happy that Scarface was only in one episode of Gotham and just was immediately killed. Deserved a lot more

[@souldemon5491]

Oh and zatanna had the childhood fear of dolls

[@mholbrook4738]

This villain needs to be in a movie.

[@christineking8183]

You know there’s just one thing I don’t seem to figure out. How is the puppet really talking to Arnold? It’s creepy not being able to understand how the puppet is really talking.

[@pumpkinsunshine9696]

Hey ya, another lovely video. When I saw the prison crime show, my mind went to:'M'r. Comic Origns eventually became skilled enough to present videos for crowds and quickly became popular among DC fans as a professor of Comicbook Origins.' But that is just me. :P Mr. Scarface is a living example of size doesn't matter at all! I just loved the clips you used to elaborate on this origin and how people reacted to him. It was a horrible fate Wesker met in becoming a human puppet. I'm just wondering how 'the quakemaster' caused the earthquake? Lovely music and I just loved the imagery, they matched really well. :)

[@e.j5813]

I will never understand if that thing is haunted or the ventriloquist is just crazy

[@ravengersaber9351]

[@jackster9775]

This is why life incarceration should be much more limited in use or in my opinion not exist. It doesn’t actually reduce the crime rate or prevent it and there’s more people there like Arnold than there are people who would reoffend without the trauma of prison 😊.
