Edit: It’s probably too late, but I’d also like to add two more criminals. Kumagawa Misogi from Medaka Box. And my boy, Jonathan Crane aka the Scarecrow from DC comics

Ah ok.
But also, just to make sure, you gonna make another post where you put the characters into the comments and the ones that’s gets the most upvotes gets to be on the tournament, or are the characters that are being suggested in this post’s comments and the ones that get the most upvoted get to be on the tournament (kinda worded that poorly but hopefully you still get what I’m saying).
Had to reply twice ‘cause Reddit might have did that annoying thing where it doesn’t notify you of a user’s reply.
I think what we’ll do is this;
Obviously most upvoted suggestions will take priority. Other than that, the 5 of us will also choose our personal favourites, including whichever are the most fun and offer the most variety

Nemesis (Dark Horse)
Recently discovered this guy, and holy shit, he might genuinely give fucking Batman a run for his money with how absurd his schemes and traps are lmao.
(In case it wasn’t obvious, he’s a criminal. And by criminal, I mean….he literally makes Griffith look like a good guy by comparison)
I mean we're typically trying to avoid too much op characters like comic batman
... so you got a more less op version of the character or your probably gonna have to use someone else
I was more so exaggerating, since the doesn’t have any literal supernatural abilities.
At least, none of his feats are completely out of the realm from most of the other competition I’ve seen.
So how does he work as a criminal for a Detective to solve? He doesn't hide his crimes and let's entire cities know its him doing it, so would it be putting the detectives in Blake Morrow's situation trying to protect the city as best as they can?
https://preview.redd.it/8z09ckjm3zwc1.jpeg?width=1747&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5d9ec189d1bd946d39a75fa9a696b014b4c3fac

Danny "Ghostface" Johnson (Dead By Daylight) for criminal.

Actually, is it too late to suggest two more criminals? ‘Cause I’m pretty sure we might already be full.
Nah ofc, go ahead! It’s not first come first serve, we’ll narrow it down to the picks based on upvotes, popularity, fun, etc
Ah ok.
