Perhaps the most harrowing part of life in Gotham (after those outrageous rent prices) is the fact that you can never be sure what to expect from the city’s criminal set. And in this month’s Gotham City Villains Anniversary Giant, commemorating milestone anniversaries for some of Gotham’s biggest and baddest, those nasty surprises come as big as they get. For starters? You’d have to be the world’s greatest detective to predict that Danny DeVito, star of the 1992 cinematic masterpiece Batman Returns, would be returning to his iconic role of the Penguin nearly 30 years later…as a writer. Unexpected, to say the least. But what may surprise you further still is that this isn’t even the first time this sort of thing has happened in the DC Universe. Here, gathered for you today, is the illustrious group Mr. DeVito now joins—actors from DC projects who have gone on to write their own characters’ further adventures on the comic book page.
