He once had the identity of The Money Spider, where he siphoned upwards of ten million dollars from US companies and sent them to third world countries, all through the internet. Anarky probably should go in the Heroes category while Batman does respect his motives, just not his methods. Although his solo series did indicate that he is the illegitimate son of the Joker, current rule of thumb is that this cannot actually be true, since Anarky is far too old to have been sired by the Joker...who has only been around for approximately ten years, just as Batman himself has been.

"Mad doctor" type who managed to take over Arkham at one point. Claims to be completely sane. In BATMAN #255, he turned someone into a werewolf (BTAS episode 'Moon of the Wolf' is based on this issue). In other exploits he has used his vast knowledge of chemistry to commit crimes, such as on one occasion when he made Batman afraid of bats and anything connected with them.
Milo has not made any appearances in current continuity. However, he is metioned on the back of the pop-up asylum given away with the 1st issue of Shadow of the Bat (special Edition). He also provides a quote in the back of the 'Arkham Asylum' graphic novel. As these are both considered current continuity, I think we can assume that he's still kicking about and not swallowed up b the Crisis. It may be that he made cameo appearances in both of these comics, but as he's fairly non-descript (no fancy costume).
