>Jack Ryder is an investigative reporter rather than just a show host
>Creeper is definitely a physical change but there’s ambiguity as to whether or not it’s truly an alternate personality or if that’s Jack’s way of coping
>In fact, a lot of Creeper’s personality just seems to be an unhinged version of Jack’s
>Has a working relationship with the Bat family, but isn’t a full fledged member, doesn’t get along with half of them
>There’s tech in his gloves but it’s for recording audio, taking pictures, et cetera
>Jack is so afraid of Creeper at first that he had Batman implant nanotech into his bloodstream to electrically shock him into falling out of Creeper mode
>Used to be colleagues with both Harvey Dent and Harleen Quinzel via his work as a journalist and hates having to bring either in
>Similar to the 97 and 2005 miniseries, there’s a horror element, both body horror and psychological
>Even Creeper’s healing factor is kinda scary and looks like his flesh is crawling back over the wound.
>Proteus returns but he shares rogues with Batman and deals with a lot of corrupt politicians
>As per the 90s miniseries, some of Batman’s villains are more afraid of the Creeper than Batman
