Batty Boop (Victoria De Mare) is a secondary antagonist in the 2010 horror comedy film "Killjoy 3", as well as a secondary protagonist in its sequels "Killjoy Goes to Hell" and "Killjoy's Psycho Circus".
Batty Boop is a demonic succubus clown who makes her debut when summoned by demonic vengeance-fulfiller clown, Killjoy, after he decides he needs a posse. Along with fellow allied clowns Punchy and Freakshow, the four work to draw a small group of college students into a mirror realm, which - if they kill them there - will allow them to feast on their souls. Batty chooses the heroine Sandie's boyfriend, Rojer, and sexually forces herself onto him. However, when Rojer manages to convince the succubus that her own boyfriend is currently cheating on her, an angry Batty leaves to go confront Killjoy. The two clowns argue about whose unfaithfulness is more over the line until Killjoy finally gets fed up and kills her via external explosion.
In the next film, Killjoy - who is now on trial in Hell for allowing Sandie to best him and thus, calling his evilness and ruthlessness into question - reluctantly summons Batty so that she can help him. Batty is still angry that Killjoy killed her and becomes even moreso when she discovers that he once had a fling with Jezebeth, the prosecutor, but eventually comes around to the idea. She returns to the surface and kills a security guard at a mental institution in order to kidnap the now mentally-traumatized Sandie. After being brought into the courtroom, Killjoy goads Sandie into spouting all of the horrible things he did and how much of a monster he truly is, which puts the clown in a more favorable light with the judge, Beelzebub. Ultimately, a bloody battle breaks out in the court, pitting the clowns against the other Hellions, while the judge flees in disgust after coming into physicals contact with the virginal abductee. Sandie and the four clowns eventually manage to escape back to Earth, where the former heroine believes that Killjoy should be grateful for having done so much to save him. However, because that just isn't in their nature, they give her a thirty-second head start and then proceed to chase after her.
In the final film, Batty is shown enjoying her latest prey when she notices Killjoy on tv. The titular clown now has his own late night talk show, complete with a Batty Boop imposter, which pushes the real succubus clown into. Batty shows up at the studio and both confronts and (seemingly) kills the stand in and reunites herself with the evil object of her affection. Meanwhile, Beelzebub and his righthand woman, Jezebel, plot aboard their spaceship to destroy Killjoy and company to make up for his failure to subdue them in the previous film. Handy, a double-agent clown working for Beelzebub, manages to abduct Batty and takes her to the ship, forcing Killjoy to pursue them. On board, Batty squares off against Jezebel in a duel, with the former emerging victorious. After the ship is destroyed, Batty, Killjoy, Punchy and Freakshow are last seen entering an alternate dimension, ending the film as a cliffhanger.
Trivia[]
The relationship between Batty Boop and Killjoy very much parallels that of Harley Quinn and the Joker from the 90s animated Batman shows. Batty is a ditzy yet clever, lovestruck clown with no qualms about murdering innocents while Killjoy himself has a crazed Caeser Romero-esque personality in the early films that gradually evolves into a more jaded Heath Ledger delivery by the end of the franchise.
