Royal Flush Gang
Ten Voiced By: Olivia D'AboThe Characters
 |
The Royal Flush Gang is a sophiscated and ruthless gang whose crimes all center around playing
cards. The members are King, Queen, Jack, Ten, and Ace. They are quite aristocratic out of
costume. An older version of the gang faced Bruce Wayne as Batman many years ago, and have
returned to Gotham, as the King wishes to face the new Batman.
Matters are complicated when Ten, a young girl named Melenie Walker , meets Terry and the two fall in love. Both struggle with the pains of their alter egos, and in the end it is Batman and Ten who face off, not Terry and Melenie. |  |
Parallels and Thoughts
 | The Royal Flush Gang is actually an a group of villians that have appeared in several DC comics, including Justice League and Starman. While the gang itself simply plays the part of the Villians Of The Week, Ten/Melenie has a much greater impact on Terry. He is forced to take a closer look at who he really is when he finds out her secret, and he hesitates while fighting her. Likewise, Melenie struggles between her feelings for Terry and the her position in the gang. The parallels between the two are reminicent of the similarities between Bruce Wayne/Batman and Selina Kyle/Catwoman, who is even mentioned in this episode. If The Royal Flush Gang, and Melenie, return, it will be interesting to see if anything further develops between Terry and Melenie, now that her other life is out in the open. |  |
