Im honestly shocked you took such a strange idea and made such a competent villain, dude is legitimately horrifying as a character, i love that when i was reading comics with him involved it started out silly cause his gimmick is so seemingly lighthearted, but eventually seeing him just continue with his gimmick really sickened me given how quickly he's willing to escalate in order to just kill for fun.
Onomatopoeia is my favorite villain concept because his name and gimmick makes him sound like another schlocky joke villain designed just to get his ass kicked, but in reality he's like the fucking zodiac killer
I REALLY hope they keep the aspect of him being an ordinary family man when he's not wearing the mask. Batman's villains are usually asocial, maladjusted, tragic figures - but this guy does the worst stuff and then goes back to a normal house and pretends to be an average husband and father. I find that really unsettling.
Onomatopoeia is a surprisingly competent villain. He's able to fight Batman toe to toe and he's only villain I can remember that manipulated Batman good enough that he invited him into his home where he proceeded to kill Bruce's lover. The other villain who came close to this was Ras in the TAS canon where he pretended to be his own daughter.
He 's super competent indeed. He also almost destroyed Star City with a tidal wave before the Teen Titans stopped it (the wave), but it was a distraction and he broke into Queen Industries to steal super-high-grade weapons. When they fought together, he seemed to be on the same level as Catwoman, and he put up a good fight against Batman. He also fought Odd man to a standstill. I really wish Kevin Smith will release *"Batman: Bellicosity"* before GRRM releases TWOW... I want to know more about Ono, and it's appearance in the show *Superman & Lois* didn't really satisfy me. The show is still great, but Onomatopoeia kinda sucked in it IMHO.
While I know this clashes a bit with Green Arrow, Batman and all but: What I find a bit weird is that... he's just some dude. Not a secret billionaire, not raised by cyborg ninja marsupials or anything like that. Kinda just, Greg, the cheese cake factory manager. *How* is he so good? xD
@@Kattlarv - That was supposed to be revealed in "Batman: Bellicosity" but sadly it's been 3 or 4 years since the last time Kevin Smith gave official updates on this one (but they were positive updates, Phil Hester was drawing it, and they were 30% finished at the time... if he kept working in secret for these 3 years; we might get it soon, who knows?).
Honestly I hope he's used well in the show. In the comics, he really comes across like an edgy reimagining of a goofy forgotten Silver Age villain minus the actual Silver Age part.
I like the concept of onomatopoeia but he really feels like if there was a silver age villain that had some sort of voice magic control but eventually revamped to just generic hitman with his theme being just superficial at best
I have to say, Onomatopoeia can really rock a suit and tie. With the mask tucked into the collar of his shirt, it almost looks like that's his natural skin and face, instead of a mask.
I think he could be a cop killer. Collecting badges and eventually deciding to go after Batman, the Caped Copper. But yeah, I don’t expect them to give him his own episode either
@@kendi5391 Sorta. I'd assume Onomatopoeia would have the same reasoning he has for killing Vigilantes. Because he's bored. That would be very different from Wrath's very personal vendetta against cops due to being anti-Batman. Kinda like how Catwoman and Magpie are both cat-burglars, but only Magpie has an unhealthy obsession for shiny things. Maybe Venom and Carnage are a better example.
I love the conceot, because hes so god damn quiet. Everyone else has a philosophy, a thesis to share. Not this guy. All he has to share with you is what you already know: the sounds he makes. Its bizzarely chilling.
Fun fact: Mr. Blank in CW's "Arrow" was originally going to be Onomatopoeia but they couldn't figure out how to translate his gimmick from the comic book to the TV screen.
i hope that they give onomatopoeia the power to make onomatopoeia's come to life, like making a finger gun and yelling "BLAM!" shoots a bullet or shockwave, or yelling "BOOM!" and making a button press motion causes an explosion to go off, mostly because i think that it would be fun to see him finally live up to his namesake
I figured the reason he wasn't included in the list of villains was because he just didn't have enough lines to be included. Not necessarily that he won't have a big role.
I'm pretty intrigued and excited to see how they'll adapt Onomatopoeia into the world of animation. I always thought he was just made for the comic book medium in mind.
I hope they give him an actual power. I know there's something to be said for regular people who can go toe-to-toe with real supers (just look at Brock Samson), but that's something we have a lot of in Batman anyway- and I can't get over how cool it would be if his power was to create the actual circumstances his sound effects are associated with by saying them- like, for instance, holding a finger-gun to someone and saying "bang" as they're actually shot by an "invisible bullet" that doesn't really exist.
Personally I like the idea of him having minor audio precognitive abilities - he could hear sounds before they happen, letting him do his sound gimmick more effectively and also be uniquely tricky to fight.
I'm glad you referenced those onomatopoeia violence sounds from the 1960s show. This character always reminded me of them. Probably what gave his creators the idea.
@@SerumLake - Hi! Just for information, Onomatopoeia doesn't have a "black and white target" on his mask, it's supposed to represent sound-waves. Keep up the good work!
Honestly, with him being adapted to show, I hope they do something I’ve been hoping for a while, and that’s give him the power to cancel out sounds. Like onomatopoeia’s main gimmick is that he said the sound along with the action, and I believe it someone stated he could only work in print because the sounds where written/onomatopeias. But giving him sound cancellation, so he would say Boom and then an entire explosion would be completely silent, would make the action more striking and a cool opportunity to make him more a skilled hitman type character
my favorite youtube channel. the level of articulation and intelligence is very pleasing. thank you so much for your hard work serum. as a massive bruce timm fan this channel is a god send. cant wait to see you make videos on everything thats ever happened in the dcau.
Maybe he’ll be like a serial killer, henchman for hire or assassin or something like that I just hope they do him good considering how long I’ve loved this character
Kevin Smith would be so proud. His creation gets the recognition he needs. Onomatopoeia (I call him Ono for short) is one of my favourite DC villains. He is the only reason I want to watch this series. Please, writers of this series, don't turn him into a joke. If you want a comic relief villain, use Signalman or Killer Moth. I want Ono to be a remorseless monster. Turn him into Batman's worst enemy. Make the Joker a season 2 problem. Also, out of all the villain redesigns, the one I hate the most is Two Face. His scars don't seem too bad. And they are on the wrong side.
So that's who that is I read the comic that had him in Green arrow but they never said his name so I never knew who he was then forgot about him and now after years finally knowing his name
Yesterday, I watched 2 videos that were 2-3 years old about him from recommendations, and today you released a video about him because of Caped Crusader.
honestly in my opinion he's an underrated villain. very mysterious and having a cool design and a fun gimmick. Some say they want him to have powers but honestly I think he's more fun just being a powerless nobody, as that's like his whole deal, he's just a RANDO who picked up a weird gimmick.
My theory is that Onomatopoeia *could* be targeting anyone who's costumed, regardless of whether they're a hero or villain. Would explain why they chose Firebug over Firefly, as he could very well just be fodder for Onomatopoeia to kill.
Much more interested in new Batman villains getting their chance to shine than "reimagings" of older villains that are doomed to failure when compared their DCU animated counterparts.
Thats true, I noticed that some underrated/unknown batman villains are getting their chance to shine. Maybe in future seasons in the show, not only will onomatopoeia appear again, but we might get villains in who will appear in the show like Mad Hatter, Firefly, Deacon Blackfire, Dollmaker, Scarecrow, and maybe even professor pyg.❤
It would be interesting seeing this villain in a The Question story or even going toe-to-toe with Rorschach from Watchmen. You could definitely write some interesting detective stories with them on it.
Sidenote: A shame I'm not quite big into Kevin Smith works like Clerks and Dogma. I know they have their fan followings, but they seem to be a different beast to me, hence why I haven't seen them after a long time. Anyways, aren't the likes of Ra's al Ghul and his League of Shadows done decently in the Arrow TV series? 1:35: Dang, he would have fit right in with The Boys. 2:31: The first Halloween movie featuring Michael Myers all over again. Used the Joker as bait and then stabbed him hard in the heart? What a man. 4:06: And I thought Batman Adventures 2003 was bad enough. I'm actually OK in case they kill of Alfred. Might lead to Batman going to need a help of some certain mechanic in the Gotham slums.
Whatever role onomatopoeia is going to be in caped crusader, I’m sure he’ll leave a great impression on the show and people who watch it and since he’s a underrated viillain for some people, maybe the show will give more attention to Batman comic villains who don’t get a lot of spot light like firefly, dollmaker, and maybe professor pyg ❤. Also I was generally surprised my comments were shown on the video at 00:52
Well onomapia could be a character that could give me a reason to watch this show . I'm thinking about re reading the Kevin Smith Green Arrow run . I'm into the weird obscure dc characters that the ones everybody knows Like more weird and obscure characters & less the boring played out Joker please.
I'm curious how they'll even make him work outside of comics. Seems like it'd be tricky to make a character based around onomatopoeia in a medium that doesn't have onomatopoeia.
Onomatopoeia is one of the forgotten DC villains who I learned from Mr. Rogues along with Clayface 3, The Patchwork Man, House Of Shadows ( Marvel), Thousand ( Marvel), Crash and Burn, The Mime, The Eraser, Polka Dot Man, Orca, etc. 🤓
I think Ono might get his own episode. Seeing as in one of the short clips in the trailer we see Batman having a sword fight with a man wearing a black trench coat and black hat a lot like Ono. So I really do hope we get him in a big role. Seeing as he deserves to be noticed more in my opinion.
I doubt he will appear as a cameo or something. As you said before, Bruce Timm and his team are known for providing some development to lesser-known villains like Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze. Well, I think they will give him something important.
I'm pretty sure they don't have a voice actor for onomatopoeia because he only speaks in sound effects. No voice=no voice actor. I really hope they go that route too, because it would be really unique.
It would be fun if they play with the multiple secret identities angle. It would leave Bruce, and the viewer, on edge as you never know who's an ally and who is just Onomatopoeia waiting to stab Batman in the back.
I doubt he will have any speaking lines. I feel he will be a silent assassin and you will only hear the "Bang" of a gun, or an explosive"Boom" sound effect
OMG ONOMATOPOEIA!!!!! 😁😁😁, he's by far my favorite Green Arrow Villain (Sorry Merlyn) he should stay a Green Arrow Villain this character is fucking brilliant,(he's creepy, Mysterious and Scary) it's a damn shame he never turned up on Arrow, if he did he would have been instantly memorable and he'd probably be the one for Stephen Amell's Oliver Queen/Green Arrow would be scared of, if Onomatopoeia did turn up in the Arrowverse I'd have him as a mysterious feared Mercenary who turns up in Star City with Duffle bags filled with Money and military hardware and he manipulates multiple Crime Syndicates to start a gang war, Onomatopoeia would also be wanted by The FBI, CIA, A.R.G.U.S, Interpol for Crimes and Assassinations across The World, Michael Rosembaum I think would have been a great casting choice for a live action Onomatopoeia Technically Onomatopoeia did turn up in Superman and Lois but the problem is, it's not in the Arrowverse, it's in its own Universe and it was gender swapped, if he's a guest character on this show, then sure why not, this is a character who's backstory should never be revealed at all, Keep The Mystery about him and absolutely do not reveal his name or his motivation Keep it a mystery, Kevin Smith should be proud that one of his greatest Comic Book Creations is getting his First Debut in a cartoon 😊😊😊
i think Onomatopoeia should act as like a riddler esc figure except instead of puzzles or personal trivia he's just especially manipulative and good at it too
My friend had a theory about him linked to the popular one that the Penguin is a woman in this version: the Caped Crusader is going to use Addison and Aiden Cobblepot, Oswald's twins from recent comics, with Addison (Penguin's child that most resembles him physically and psychologically) serving as the Penguin in the series (possibly with Oswald having served as the previous mob boss of the setting but being dead or imprisoned by the present) and Aiden (Penguin's son who got completely shafted out of a personality) becoming the Onomatopoeia of this setting as a combination serial killer-hitman for his family's gang. With the contrast being marked between his bland and muted personality out of costume opposite his outlandish yet disturbing persona as Onomatopoeia when out killing.
How could I not be excited for Bruce Timm and crew updating another obscure villain? I don't know if he'll be a big deal or even remotely interesting, but I want to see this star-studded team take a crack at it. Also, just gotta say, that panel of Ollie holding the arrow in Onomatopoeia's mouth... 👀 Yipe.
Nice video. I didn't even know this guy existed. But if possible, I'd like to request a video about the three characters known as The Wrath. The first version is quite literally a mirror image of Batman, as his parents were killed by cops - specifically GORDON- on the SAME NIGHT Bruce's folks died. There's been another Wrath who appeared later and then when they did the New 52, the original was rebooted. He's also shown up in the TV series The Batman. :) Just figured I'd see if you would be willing to do a video on him.
a hitman is often who I picture Ono, do I like his design, also the tv show could do something clever with it where upon they put words of his actions on the big screen with him saying them, for example we can have scene where Ono unpacks and assemble a rifle, not saying a single word before ono say "bang" where we see the words BANG on the screen in red along with him firing the bullet, that one idea how I picture they use Ono for a tv adaption.
If I ever wrote Onomatopoeia for aDC cartoon, I'd make him a metahuman who can create cones of silence around him, where only he can still talk and make noises, so out of fun he makes his own.
Na I like the fact that batman and his villains are just normal humans in a costume. Onomatopeia is just a guy with a gun, Just have him be autistic that is why he makes the noise a wired social tick,
@@SerumLakePlease Answer My Question, Do You Think These Villains Will Show Up In Either Season One Or A Hypothetical Season Two, Also Which Villains Do You Want To See Appear On The Show
It's funny whenever a comic creator sais that they specifically create a character that is unadaptable for other media. But then, a new creator(s) find a way to do just that!
I like this villian i dont care if he comes off as a joke villian, the sounds he make can be distractions to the heroes like joker laughing. Just hope he is used well in the future of the series
My personal suspicion is that Onomatopoeia is not listed because he will become *another* villain. Can't help but find some tonal and stylistic similarities between him and the pre-Joker Jack Napier, for example. Double life? Check. Gangster attire? Check. Utterly insane but cleverly hiding it? Double check.
Wow so they re-designed him in Superman literally in the past 2 years to be what every old school bad guy like this is now: A female who is super relatable and justified in her actions. To see that they are going back to his comic aesthetic in this show is reassuring, but funny to see back to back like this, since that’s not seen very often
I always wondered, does he perfectly mimic the sound or does he just the say the word associated with the sound. Like does he mimic a gun-shot or just say "Bang".
Remember when Twitter was rebranded to "Twitter no I will never call it X". That was a day. I don't call it anything because I don't want to be around it. It's okay to laugh at that joke.
Never say never, but My Adventures With Superman and Teen Titans are fairly low on my priority list. I’m more interested in talking about the DCAU shows before anything else. Mxyzptlk came fourth in my Superman villain poll, so he is coming in a couple of months.
Saying about the Trail video it got me thinking about that the villains appeared in the episode are not victims and this may be just a nitpick but you think that Mr Freeze,Clayface,Penguin and Maxie Zeus should have been in the episode some of them had genuine bad days?
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for the deep dive on Ono!
You're welcome, boss. Keep up the good work!
hey it's the guy!

It would be fun if they play with the multiple secret identities angle. It would leave Bruce, and the viewer, on edge as you never know who's an ally and who is just Onomatopoeia waiting to stab Batman in the back.
That would be cool
he actually seems like a really good batman villain
They could redo the character to perfectly mimic sounds and use that trick people. Like that bird that mimics construction noise and people's voices.
I doubt he will have any speaking lines. I feel he will be a silent assassin and you will only hear the "Bang" of a gun, or an explosive"Boom" sound effect
OMG ONOMATOPOEIA!!!!! 😁😁😁, he's by far my favorite Green Arrow Villain (Sorry Merlyn) he should stay a Green Arrow Villain this character is fucking brilliant,(he's creepy, Mysterious and Scary) it's a damn shame he never turned up on Arrow, if he did he would have been instantly memorable and he'd probably be the one for Stephen Amell's Oliver Queen/Green Arrow would be scared of, if Onomatopoeia did turn up in the Arrowverse I'd have him as a mysterious feared Mercenary who turns up in Star City with Duffle bags filled with Money and military hardware and he manipulates multiple Crime Syndicates to start a gang war, Onomatopoeia would also be wanted by The FBI, CIA, A.R.G.U.S, Interpol for Crimes and Assassinations across The World, Michael Rosembaum I think would have been a great casting choice for a live action Onomatopoeia
Technically Onomatopoeia did turn up in Superman and Lois but the problem is, it's not in the Arrowverse, it's in its own Universe and it was gender swapped, if he's a guest character on this show, then sure why not, this is a character who's backstory should never be revealed at all, Keep The Mystery about him and absolutely do not reveal his name or his motivation Keep it a mystery, Kevin Smith should be proud that one of his greatest Comic Book Creations is getting his First Debut in a cartoon 😊😊😊
i think Onomatopoeia should act as like a riddler esc figure except instead of puzzles or personal trivia he's just especially manipulative and good at it too
Onomatopia should appear in a future Batman Arkham game
Maybe Injustice 3 too
Green Arrow must be really mad that Batman stole his iconic villain.
Well Ollie did snatch many Bat & Titans foes for his CW show 😅
He owed Bats one for taking villains for his show.
My friend had a theory about him linked to the popular one that the Penguin is a woman in this version: the Caped Crusader is going to use Addison and Aiden Cobblepot, Oswald's twins from recent comics, with Addison (Penguin's child that most resembles him physically and psychologically) serving as the Penguin in the series (possibly with Oswald having served as the previous mob boss of the setting but being dead or imprisoned by the present) and Aiden (Penguin's son who got completely shafted out of a personality) becoming the Onomatopoeia of this setting as a combination serial killer-hitman for his family's gang. With the contrast being marked between his bland and muted personality out of costume opposite his outlandish yet disturbing persona as Onomatopoeia when out killing.
Gah, one of my fave villians
i want Onomatopoeia to be a main villain in a green arrow movie who agrees ? and make it happen james gunn
How could I not be excited for Bruce Timm and crew updating another obscure villain? I don't know if he'll be a big deal or even remotely interesting, but I want to see this star-studded team take a crack at it.
Also, just gotta say, that panel of Ollie holding the arrow in Onomatopoeia's mouth... 👀 Yipe.
Feels like he's just gonna be a one off villain.
Nice video. I didn't even know this guy existed. But if possible, I'd like to request a video about the three characters known as The Wrath. The first version is quite literally a mirror image of Batman, as his parents were killed by cops - specifically GORDON- on the SAME NIGHT Bruce's folks died. There's been another Wrath who appeared later and then when they did the New 52, the original was rebooted. He's also shown up in the TV series The Batman. :) Just figured I'd see if you would be willing to do a video on him.
Think I only remember this guy from that Kevin Smith comic wheee he appeared in.
Onomatopoeia also appeared in Superman and Lois but as a woman
The fact that Onomatopoeias alias is technically Deadshot
a hitman is often who I picture Ono, do I like his design, also the tv show could do something clever with it where upon they put words of his actions on the big screen with him saying them, for example we can have scene where Ono unpacks and assemble a rifle, not saying a single word before ono say "bang" where we see the words BANG on the screen in red along with him firing the bullet, that one idea how I picture they use Ono for a tv adaption.
Onomatopoeia AND Gentleman Ghost? what is this, christmas?
Bang
He doesn't have a "black and white target" on his mask, it's supposed to represent sound-waves.
and yet, when Green Arrow has him in his sights, it looks just like a target ;)
@@SerumLake - True, true, but since I often see this mistake made, I figured I'd made it clear here ^^
Cheers!
they’re gonna make kevin smith cry again i just know it
If I ever wrote Onomatopoeia for aDC cartoon, I'd make him a metahuman who can create cones of silence around him, where only he can still talk and make noises, so out of fun he makes his own.
Na I like the fact that batman and his villains are just normal humans in a costume. Onomatopeia is just a guy with a gun, Just have him be autistic that is why he makes the noise a wired social tick,
Remember, sir. It's Bill Finger and Bob Kane

It's funny whenever a comic creator sais that they specifically create a character that is unadaptable for other media. But then, a new creator(s) find a way to do just that!
Onomatopoeia should be voiced by Michael Winslow
I like this villian i dont care if he comes off as a joke villian, the sounds he make can be distractions to the heroes like joker laughing. Just hope he is used well in the future of the series
do you think they will make him a Hitman wokring for the mob?
My personal suspicion is that Onomatopoeia is not listed because he will become *another* villain. Can't help but find some tonal and stylistic similarities between him and the pre-Joker Jack Napier, for example. Double life? Check. Gangster attire? Check. Utterly insane but cleverly hiding it? Double check.
Wow so they re-designed him in Superman literally in the past 2 years to be what every old school bad guy like this is now: A female who is super relatable and justified in her actions. To see that they are going back to his comic aesthetic in this show is reassuring, but funny to see back to back like this, since that’s not seen very often
I always wondered, does he perfectly mimic the sound or does he just the say the word associated with the sound. Like does he mimic a gun-shot or just say "Bang".
1:56 Who is that he took out?
1:30 Me too.
Remember when Twitter was rebranded to "Twitter no I will never call it X". That was a day. I don't call it anything because I don't want to be around it. It's okay to laugh at that joke.
How about he kills mobsters
Onamonipea could be a corrupt politician using a guise to gain trust among the freak villains
Give him the ability to do actual finger guns and we'll talk.
do we know whos voicing him ? i loved the tad of the voice we heard
Few questions.
You ever gonna cover MAWs or Teen Titans?
Also, with STAS, you ever gonna cover Myxie?
Never say never, but My Adventures With Superman and Teen Titans are fairly low on my priority list. I’m more interested in talking about the DCAU shows before anything else.
Mxyzptlk came fourth in my Superman villain poll, so he is coming in a couple of months.
@@SerumLake I am sad that batmite never showed up in BTAS (That we know of)
Saying about the Trail video it got me thinking about that the villains appeared in the episode are not victims and this may be just a nitpick but you think that Mr Freeze,Clayface,Penguin and Maxie Zeus should have been in the episode some of them had genuine bad days?
Now for the ultimate question: Can Bruce Timm's talent overcome the handicap of JJ Abrams?
Love everything about the vid but I think it is blue rings
What if he’s the big villain and they didn’t want to ruin anything?
“Bang”
Wait. Caped Crusader's coming back? I thought WB cancelled it for a tax write off. If it comes out on blu-ray, I'll totally get it.
