Because someone asked... The Gotham crime lord Black Mask (aka Roman Sionis) was a rich pampered spoiled Gotham socialite. He knew Bruce and was a family friend. But while Bruce's life took a really bad turn, Roman just got greedy. He could not wait to claim his inheritance so he burned down his mansion home with his parents still inside. But his business (cosmetics) took a turn for the worse when a special face cream (that went on the market untested due to Roman's impatience) proved to be very damaging to skin. Roman went bankrupt and in a fit of insane rage, blamed his father for his troubles. He went to the masoleum where his parents were buried, attacked his father's ebony casket and carved a black mask from it. His Black Mask was a scowling, angry face.
Starting a life of crime, he formed the FalseFace Society of Gotham and raised himself as head crime lord. His calling card was pouring undilluted chemicals (from his face cream) into a mask and forcing it on his victim's faces. It left horrible disfigurments.
Roman 'Black Mask' attacked Bruce and seemed to target Wayne Enterprises. Batman went after Black Mask, and while in a struggle in a fire-engulfed house, Black Mask fell face first down onto a burning pile. His MASK was seared on his face...leaving it burned, blacked, charred and skull-like.
There's a lot more to Black Mask..(Circe was a female model who he disfigured and used as accomplance - and she wore a porcelin beauty maskl very much like Alisha 'Suger Bumps' in Batman the Movie.
Black Mask also was responsible for the death of The Spoiler in the comic continuity.
He likes to torture.

I'm assuming it's my question you answered Profgriffin? About the weapons?

Before people get too hyped up, i'm pretty sure profgriffin was just explaining the comic-book origin of Black Mask, as i'm sure no one would reveal his cartoon origin this early on. they definitely didn't reveal any origins at comic-con (except maybe Robin's)

Harley looks fantastic, enough homage to the original but keeping the unique style of The Batman.
I think I'm in love!

Yeah, I felt that it sounded a bit like an origin for Black Mask.

Yes, Sorry I should have made that clear. That was the origin for the Black Mask character in the comic books...not sure how they'll handle him in the Animated The Batman series.
I would imagine that they would keep him similar...there's no real reason to change him too drastically....is there?

WOW, i love Harleys Design. Black mask looks cool. The everywhere man is ok, I'll probably have to see him in action first. I like nightwing with shorter hair. I didnt like the mullet he had in TNBA. I'm really exited to see the future episode. Does anyone know if they are going to have catwoman in the new season. I know most people have bassically abandoned her as a charecter, but i think she has potential, especially if they show her as a villain instead of being double crossed.

WOW, I am so far behind. I don't have a WB channel (CW gonna be) so I have to wait for the seasons on DVD. I didn't know it had made it so far already, looks like i'm going to have 3 more seasons I must buy!

Arrgghh, seems as if something just doesn't want us to see that video. I'd say there were gremlins working against you, but perhaps I'd better rephrase that to perhaps jokers and riddlers? I'll be waiting patiently and praying to the video gods that you can get it up today.

That's really a coincidence, or a supernatural cause Oh well Ruseri, we'll be patient. After all it'd be totally wrong to force you to post a video you have the freedom not to show.

No worries Rus. We should all just be glad that we are getting the video at all. Let's all be patient as he is trying his best to get us the video. Plus, he has already gave us all kinds of great information and pics. Thanks Ruseri.
