Gotham's Ultimate Criminal Mastermind

"Gotham's Ultimate Criminal Mastermind." The Batman. Alexx (sic: double X) Van Dyne, script. Pre-production.

The explicitly labeled AI computer program D.A.V.E. ("The Digitally Advanced Villain Emulator") combines the "psychological profiles of the most diabolical criminals committed to Arkham Asylum" in Gotham City. Under suspicious circumstances, to be worked out in the plot, Dave gets loose into the cybernetic network and uses an automated factory to embody himself as a robot that threatens Batman. See for a highly conscious presentation suitable for cartoon TV of themes developed in 2001: A Space Odyssey, Larnmower Man, Artificial Intelligence: AI, and assorted stories of threatening machine-made-machines by P. K. Dick and others. (RDE, 11/01/06)
