Anarky is an enemy to Batman, who tries to cause chaos throughout Gotham, as his name implies. He is the main villain of the series.
History[]
In "Tests", Anarky is amused by two teenage criminals Daedalus and Junkyard Dog who express themselves through destroying art. When they were captured by Batman, he freed them and gave them high-tech weapons to continue, telling them that it was a donation. They used these until Batman came and defeated them again and they were sent to jail. Anarky frees them again and gives them even more powerful weapons. Batman uses his automatic bat-mobile to fight them while he goes after Anarky. They are evenly matched in a fight until Anarky reveals that he planted bombs on two mono rails and only gives him time to deactivate one. However, Batman is able to defuse them by using the wires and Anarky is able to escape.
He returns in the episode "Sacrifice" where he steals a box containing Ra's al Ghul from the League of Assassins. He tells Lady Shiva that if she wants it back she would have to get something from the Gotham Contagion Research Lab. Anarky then commits an attack on the city, and when Batman and Katana that Shiva and her henchmen are there. When the two groups fight each other, Anarky then seals them in it and releases a virus that turns Shiva's goons into hulking monsters and Batman, Katana and Shiva have to work together to fight the monsters and get past all the security walls. Anarky plans to turn them into monsters as well then release the virus onto Gotham itself. In the end, they escape and the lab is burned down which kills the virus and Shiva's goons are cured. Anarky later sends an apology letter to Lady Shiva and sends her Ra's box back.
In "Nexus", he bombs the mayor of Gotham City's office with one of Batman's bombs so that the police would believe Batman is the culprit. Later, Batman kidnaps Harvey Dent to draw Anarky out. Anarky briefly fights Batman and Katana, however, he is able to plant bombs on Batman, Dent, Katana, and himself. Batman and Dent's are linked so if they get too far from each other they will explode, same with his and Katana's. Anarky orders Batman to take to in a park in the city and surrender to the police or he will detonate another bomb in the city. While they do this, Katana thinks he is bluffing and rides away on her bike to find out, while Anarky follows her in his truck. After eluding the police Batman cracks the code on the bombs and places them all on Anarky. He quickly activates his last bombs before escaping through an manhole. However, no one is killed.
In "Monsters", he breaks into Dent's office and tries to convince him to join his cause.
In "Hero", after watching Batman and Katana stop Anarky again, Dent decides to work with Anarky in order to stop them. Anarky hires Deathstroke and tells Dent to make him part of Dent's Special Crimes Unit (SCU). He wants Deathstroke to not only out stage Batman but kill him to. This works at first, however, when Dent complains to Deathstroke and Anarky, Deathstroke reveals that he has different plans of his own. Anarky then tries to kill Deathstroke with a gun, but Deathstroke knocks him out and kidnaps Dent to lure out Batman. In the end, after Batman saves Dent and defeats Deathstroke, Anarky congratulates him on his victory before escaping.
In the tie in comics, he infiltrates Stagg Industries as Dr. Robert Catesby, playing Stagg to fund for his project to produce a home security system, which is used in 90% of Gotham and controls nearly all of its doors, taking advantage of the Strikeback movement. With his plan laid in formation, Anarky set a pre-recorded speech to broadcast to all of Gotham upon unlocking all doors in the city to rally up nearly all of Gotham to incite a huge riot that will tear Gotham apart. Anarky then attempts to drop Stagg to his death to a spark between the rich and poor, before Katana and Batman save Stagg and fight him. Batman overrides Anarky's speech to quell the potential of Anarky's riot. Anarky then attempts to set up an explosion that would kill Batman, being possibly engulfed in the explosion himself.
Abilities[]
- Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced): Anarky was shown, when fighting Batman on the lifts, that he has a very good knowledge of martial arts. He was able to hold his own against the Batman for longer than most others, in unarmed, hand-to-hand combat. He appears to be more of a fast and agile kind of fighter, unlike the imposing strength of The Dark Knight.
