* AdaptationalIntelligence: Of a sort. In the comics, Peyton Riley became the second Ventriloquist because she went insane and believed the Scarface puppet started talking to her. Here, Riley believes that Scarface is an actual person that is only attending the meeting via phone call; upon meeting the puppet itself, she can only express disbelief at what he is before she's gunned down.
* AdaptationalJobChange: This film shows Riddler to be an FBI agent, a job title that none of Nigma's previous incarnations have ever had.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Arnold Wesker and Peyton Riley never knew each other in the comics, as Wesker had died after Peyton Riley succeeded him as the Ventriloquist. In this film, Peyton is shown working for Wesker (or rather, his Scarface persona) as a henchwoman. This also applies to Scarface himself, as Peyton herself is incredulous at the idea of what Scarface really is, while Scarface just sees her as a disposable henchwoman that's no longer relevant to his needs.
* AdaptationalSkill: Just like in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', Arnold Wesker can perform ventriloquism very well without any mouth mistakes.
* AdaptationalWimp: In the comics, Peyton Riley succeeds Arnold Wesker as the Ventriloquist, and worked with the likes of Killer Moth, Firefly and Lock-Up to attack The Penguin. Here, she's merely a henchman of Scarface's, who ultimately ends up perishing at his hands once he has no further use for her.

''Batman: Puppet Master'' is a ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' fan film set in the universe of ''Film/TheDarkKnightSaga''.

After Batman becomes a wanted criminal for the purported death of Harvey Dent, the FBI sends its greatest secret agent, Edward Nigma, to catch him. However, that isn't enough for Nigma; he wants to prove his greatness, and for him that means unmasking the Batman and revealing his secret identity. To do this, he works with the mob, led by a mysterious figure known only as "Scarface", and becomes increasingly obsessed with his prize...
Since its release (to tie in with the release of ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''), the video has been praised by numerous bloggers and reviewers for its high production values and great storytelling.
