Day 16: "Mask"

The Solution

The narrator of this puzzle is Doctor Harleen Quinzel, aka Batman villain Harley Quinn. Before she started working for the Joker (let's say this puzzle is mostly in the Batman: The Animated Series continuity), she was a psychologist who analyzed costumed villains at Arkham Asylum. Each note applies to a Batman villain, and the blanks below can be filled in with that villain's real name (as we assume they would appear in the asylum's files):

Some of these characters have had different "real names" in different continuities, but these are the originals, or, the most common, or, the most famous. Probably. I think.

The highlighted letters spell the answer, PHANTASM, as in the animated Batman movie Mask of the Phantasm. But the answer to the puzzle is not "ANDREA BEAUMONT."
