Who is The Ventriloquist?
The Ventriloquist is a villain who causes trouble in Gotham City. He is known for his unusual partnership with his puppet, Scarface. Arnold Wesker is usually quiet and shy, but when Scarface is around, he becomes a dangerous criminal. Scarface acts like a tough gangster boss, and Arnold seems to follow his every command.
Arnold Wesker's Story
Arnold Wesker was born into a powerful family in Gotham City. Sadly, when he was young, his parents were killed. This was a very difficult time for him. To help him cope with his sadness and pain, he started using a ventriloquist puppet. This puppet eventually became Scarface, who seemed to take over Arnold's life and push him into a life of crime.
Scarface: The Puppet Master
Scarface is not just any puppet; he acts like a real person with a strong, mean personality. He often gives orders to Arnold and even to other criminals. It's almost as if Scarface is the real mastermind behind their crimes, and Arnold is just his helper. This strange relationship makes The Ventriloquist one of Batman's most interesting and unusual enemies.
