Synopsis
The opening of the story includes a big battle of power between Ginger Robin and The Joker, after a long time shifting between character winning and losing Ginger Robin finally hits the last shot and the joker goes tumbling down to the ground. Meanwhile back at Mr. Rats headquarters Alfred is seen being dragged to a empty the room to be tied up and held hostage, Mr. Rat gathers up his sidekicks to talk about the plan to release the deadly rats into the town. Mr. Rat goes into the lab checking on all the diseased and starts laughing.  Batdog starts getting worried about Alfred were about  so goes to meet Ginger Robin to find out more information, Ginger Robin had received information from The Joker about Mr. Rats plan earlier in the fight so he tell Batdog want he knows. After receiving information about Mr. Rat plan Batdog rushes to the rat headquarters to get his friend back. Mr. Rat sees Batdog coming, in an attempt to fight back he realises some of his rat to bring Batdog down, after a long battle Batdog is knocked down and lock up with Alfred. Batdog wakes up in a haze of dizziness as Alfred tries to tend to his wounds best he can, making sure Batdog is strong enough to go back out and safe the town. Batdog breaks down the lock doors of the room and rushes out to try and stop the attack of the deadly diseased rats, willing to kill Mr. Rat if needs be. But the main question is will he stop the realise of the rats and will he regain the power?
Ending of the Story
The end of my comic Batdog is too late to stop Mr. Rat from releasing his deadly weapon, after getting injured in a previous attempt to stop the attack; he is lying in a corner of a nearby building being nursed back to health by Alfred. After finally waking up Batdog starts to realise he is too late to save the town from the plague, but in a last attempt to stop Mr. Rat he builds up his strength and bolts off to the control room to have a last fight with him. When Batgdog finally reaches the room, he finds out that he has got beaten to it; Ginger Robin had killed Mr. Rat before he could, the fight is on again for the ruler of the town.
Batdog











Batdog is representing the role of Batman in this changed graphic novel; I chose a dog to represent the main role as it shows the powerful control Batdog has in the novel. Dogs0 are well-known for their loyalty and obedience, but also their strength and fighting ability which Batdog needs in the role of Batman.  Batdog has the main control in the storyline; he shows his ability to win battles, the importance of looking after friends and the character he scares such as Mr. Rat. Batdog has a similar costume to Batman, sharing the magical colour of purple and the hopeful colour of yellow, the additional colour I have added is brown to represent the traditional values of protecting people in need of help.
Ginger Robin


Ginger Robin is representing the role of Robin in this changed graphic novel, I choose I cat to represent Robin because cat are well-known for being sneaky and independent.  This represents Robin because his loyalty changes between Batdog and himself many times, this is iconic as I have made the two main characters into animals which are meant to hate each other, showing the strain in their friendship. Ginger Robin finds himself in many uneasy situations, choosing between being a friend to Batdog or retrieving the power and glory for himself, these decisions helps him become a stronger character and keeps him alive in many difficult situations. His costume is similar to the traditional story with slight changes including the stiched on letters with his new name, his costume still include a cape and pants on top.
Mr. Rat











Mr. Rat is representing the role of Mr. Pyg in this changed graphic novel, I choose represent Mr. Pyg as a rat due to the way the story portrays him as being sneaky and always having a superior plan to rule the world. Mr. Rat is a complicated character, not being a high character in the novel the audience does not get a change to understand him. Many of the time he is shown in the Batman novels he has a new plan, new people working for him and new hostages. Mr. Rat costume in this story help represent his ego of wanting to be in charge, a crown to show him wanting power and a cape shown of the colour representing death and blood, what his has to do to get him to power.
Alfred











Alfred is changed into a tawny owl this graphic novel, I did this due to the connection of the values which Alfred share and the reputation of the breed of owl, they both represent loyalty and traditional values.  Alfred is as very trusted character in the novel; he helps Batdog find his good and uses it to help save lives from the evil. He is also a very skilled character, tending to all Batdogs injury’s he gets in battle, saving his life many times in the process. The costume for Alfred is a very basic smart outfit, a suit in the colours of purple, brown and yellow. These colours mean hope, magic and traditional values, all three which Alfred shares in his daily life to look after Batdog.
The Joker











The Joker is changed into a baboon in this graphic novel; I did this due to the similar colouring of the character to the baboon and the well-known attitude of being quite aggressive and dangerous, quite like the Joker in Batman. The Joker is a very twisted character, finding it hard in life to follow the correct path he goes off the rails to get revenge on his torturous childhood, hurting many people in the process. The Joker does not wear any clothing in this changed story, the Baboon is only different due to the unusual colours his coat holds such as the magical purple, natural green, blood red and the powerful blue.
