  @Gateways7
  I'm more worried about @Biblio2 .

  @Lujikul Mine are mostly cards for the actual character, not something "inspired by." The clause about not mentioning the character pretty much leaves me out. Platypusburger has plenty like that though.

  How many enteries are allowed?
  
  Can be something like this? I guess everyone knows who this is.

  @Balgeron, the rules at the top of the page say "You are not allowed to mention the character at all on your card..." I think your card breaks that rule, since you literally named it Dark Knight.

  @Gateways7 , @Biblio2, @IanLowenthal, I think my Gotham stuff is also too on the nose for this contest, considering the rule that we can't reference the comic characters directly.

  But here's a link to it anyway. Self-promotion!

  @Platypusburger Enigmatic Mask, Bewildering Hat, and Cane of Conundrums, for example, don't reference the Riddler directly. He's partly shown, but not even quoted. @IanLowenthal would these count? http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/enigmatic-mask-1?list=set&set=5799

  Well, the Cane of Conundrums makes a Riddler token*. But even the others are alluding to the actual Riddler character. I think this contest is more about making fantasy characters that are inspired by the original comics. Like a a lightning witch that's evocative of Storm, not the actual mutant superhero.
  
  *(I should really go back and make those cards again with small text. The formatting looks terrible.)

  @Biblio2 and @Platypusburger Platypusburger is right. The problem lies mostly in the flavor, it is meant to be a riddler reference.
  
  @Balgeron and @MrRansom Balgeron's Entry is fine, although it would be nice if he renamed it.

  Dark Knight is just a namesake, same as calling Iron Man "Piece of Heap Metal", its not even legendary, because anybody can be Dark Knight, its not THE Batman its a masked knight. Dark Knight was called even other characters - Blade for instance has being called Dark Knight as well.
  
  Sure the giveaway is that it has Bat and dress up as Batman in medieval times and yeah, it is to be based off Batman.

  @Balgeron, your card counts, it's fine.

  @Balgeron I didn't say you couldn't use that name.
• IanLowenthal

  Well, I suppose I ought to judge this now.....
  
  1st @Balgeron with "Dark Knight"
  2nd @mithandir91 with "Patriotic Squire"
  3rd @Kiloken with "Armored Vigilante"
  
  As there were only three entries, there are no honourable mentions.
