Batman: Thrillkiller is an alternate Batman continuity released under the Elseworlds imprint. It consists of the 1997 3-issue miniseries Batgirl and Robin: Thrillkiller and the 1998 one-shot Batgirl and Batman: Thrillkiller '62, both written by Howard Chaykin.It's 1961 and Gotham is incredibly corrupt. The police have been entirely bought by the mob, except for Commissioner Gordon and Detective Bruce Wayne. Meanwhile, two new vigilantes have shown up, Batgirl and Robin, to take down the police. During all the chaos, crime boss Bianca Steeplechase declares war on the two vigilantes... |

Adaptational Villainy |
| | Batman: Thrillkiller (Comic Book) / int_20f689e9 |
comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Two-Face in the mainstream continuity was ultimately a tragic figure who was constantly trying and failing to reform. His counterpart Duell is a Dirty Cop racketeer who ends up becoming Bianca Steeplechase's first Dragon and has zero redeeming qualities. However he is a Decomposite Character with Harvey Dent appearing separately. Killer Croc may be a violent criminal, but he's never been the bodyguard to a Nazi. At the time of the comic's release, Harley Quinn was still a villain and Joker's gleeful sidekick in the mainstream continuity, but her tragic elements are omitted in this canon. |

Adaptational Heroism: Selina Kyle never becomes a jewel thief, with her only criminal past being something in sex work. Like in most adaptations, Harvey Bullock's dirty past isn't acknowledged here. Edward Nygma is a kindly psychiatrist as opposed to criminal mastermind The Riddler. While he's implied to be a quack, he's not evil. Harvey Dent gets this by way of Decomposite Character, being a straightforward heroic DA instead of the secret identity of Two-Face. |

Ms. Fanservice |
| | Batman: Thrillkiller (Comic Book) / int_b032e4ed |
comment |
Ms. Fanservice: Batgirl is a beautiful redhead who wears tight, midriff-baring clothing and is explicitly compared to a showgirl. She uses this to her advantage, since sexist thugs tend to underestimate her. In Thrillkiller '62, she gets a scene in a sheer nightgown and one in her bra. Selina Kyle is literally a stripper, and we briefly see her performance. |

Shout-Out |
| | Batman: Thrillkiller (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: The first panel of the comic prominently features a theatre marquee advertising Ben-Hur (1959). When Bianca gets ahold of Robin's glove, she explicitly compares her plan to trace him with it to Cinderella. When describing the time skip that starts Thrillkiller '62, Dr. No is referenced. The Mr. Freeze analogue, Dr. Otto Saunders, takes his name from two of the Mr. Freeze actors from Batman (1966). |

Adaptational Wimp: Selina Kyle never becomes Catwoman, simply being a stripper and informant in this continuity. Roy Harper cameos, but as Green Arrow does not exist in this continuity, he does not become Speedy. |

Adaptation Name Change: The Joker gets a real name here, going by Bianca Steeplechase to correspond with the comic's gender change. Robin's real name is Richart Graustart instead of Dick Grayson, which is an alias he adopted. Harley Quinn is Hayley Fitzpatrick instead of Harleen Quinzell. |
