Maniax

Maniax is a large street gang led by the Joker in ''Batman: Shadow War, Batman: Red War and Batman: New War. ''

Overview
The Maniax is generally made up of very violent and mentally disturbed criminals and their leader, the Joker, had brutal initian standards and forced them to survive his death traps or murder members of their own family before they are even allowed to be part of his gang. They were ruthless thugs who feared and hated Batman, and despite being fiercely loyal to the Joker, their clownish leader regularly mistreated his underlings and even sometimes killed them for entertainment or punishment. They often wear makeup to look like clowns as well as colorful outfits with their signature colors being purple and green.

The Maniax's main territory is the Industrial District with their headquarters being the Sionis Steel Mill. They are involved in gang warfare, street violence, prostitution, gang-related homicide, murder, drug trafficking/manufacturing, gun-running/arms trafficking, vandalism and degeneracy. They are the Penguin Empire's sworn enemy and also have strong rivalry with the 2-KILL and False Facers. On the streets and in their territories, they are either unarmed or carry pistols, submachine guns, assault rifles, shotguns, knives, baseball bats, crowbars, explosives and even sniper rifles as well as using weaponry from Joker's own arsenal including Joker Venom, Joker Teeth and trick Jack N' the Boxes.
