Album: Gnomes with Jobs

Description: Both hands go up mid-call on this referee gnome, striped shirt and all. Nobody asked for officiating in the flower bed, but here he is anyway.

Description: A called strike gets the fist-pump treatment from this home-plate gnome, full chest protector and gear included. Someone handed a lawn ornament the final say on balls and strikes, and he is not changing his mind.

Description: This gnome blows the whistle on your garden the second anyone steps out of line, striped jersey and all. He's calling the match from your flower bed and he is not taking arguments.

Description: Stitched leather catsuit, a whip coiled tight, ears sharp enough to slice fog: this gnome remembers every frame of Batman Returns. Shrink her to garden size and she still looks ready to steal your birdbath and make you thank her for it.

Description: A golden lyre and a laurel crown replace the fiddle he's famous for skipping. This Nero gnome rules your garden the way he ruled Rome, all drama and self-satisfaction.

Description: Zipped into black and purple, this Arkham-style Catwoman gnome keeps her goggles pushed up and her whip coiled tight. She's ready to prowl the garden the second the sun goes down.

Description: Goggles flipped up, claws bared, utility belt stocked for a heist that never comes. She traded Gotham rooftops for your flowerbeds, and the tomatoes should probably worry.

Description: Sword raised, shield up, tiara catching the light, she guards the tomato patch like it's Eternia itself. Mow around her or she'll have words for you.

Description: Claws out, heels on, midriff bare: this is Catwoman dressed for a heist, not a hedge. She's still got that paw print belly ring, even planted between your petunias.

Description: Swings a claymore bigger than your fence post. This kilted Scottish warrior guards the garden like it's SummerSlam.

Description: This ginger-bearded gnome throws his arms wide by the mailbox like it's Gotham's most important corner, question marks and all. Jim Carrey's Riddler never really left the spotlight.

Description: Cape snapping, red trunks squared away, the S shield gleaming like it's still 1952 on a black and white television. He can leap tall hedges in a single bound, but mostly he guards the mailbox.

Description: Red tunic, gold M belt buckle, ready to punch a robot clean out of your rose bushes. This Magnus gnome protects your garden the same way he protects North Am, with his bare fists.

Description: Red eyes glow against pale skin on this nanite-powered gnome. Rifle in hand and a red circle blazing on his chest, he hauls Valiant's toughest antihero into the flowerbed.

Description: Trade the throne of Atlantis for a patch of dirt. This gold-armored gnome grips his trident next to a rock and seashells, ready to guard the tide pools of your lawn.

Description: Fists clenched and tubes pumping, this comic-accurate Bane gnome looks ready to break more than a birdbath. The black-and-white mask and red belt buckle make him easy to spot.

Description: Cat burglar energy lands in the yard for good. This gnome sports the goggles-and-ears look and coils her whip like she's already casing the garden next door.

Description: He's swapped foggy Whitechapel alleys for your flower beds, top hat and all. This Jack the Ripper gnome brings true crime history to your garden, gloves included, no evidence left behind.

Description: White beard, red helmet, goggles tinted the same yellow as his radiation symbol. He's been harnessing the atom since before your garden had a fence, and he still looks like he could stop the sun cold.

Description: White mustache peeks out beneath the blue cowl on this campy caped crusader gnome. He's swapped the Batcave for the flowerbed, utility belt and all.

Description: Red trunks, white striped boots, a mustache that means business. He's been slamming rivals since the Four Horsemen ruled the territory, and now he's slamming down roots between your hostas.

Description: Ever seen a mercenary retire to landscaping? This tactical Bane gnome keeps his green venom tubes and black vest, standing guard over the mulch instead of Gotham's sewers.

Description: Magnifying glass in hand, unlit pipe, deerstalker cocked at exactly the right angle. He's already deduced who trampled the petunias, and your yard just got a permanent stakeout.

Description: Smoke curls from a lit fuse in his beard as this pirate gnome grips sword and mug on a wooden deck. Skull-and-crossbones hat, striped shirt, the whole plundering look, now guarding your garden instead of a ship.

Description: Beads clatter in his braided beard as this gnome tips a feathered hat toward the garden. Compass, sword, and rings complete the look, ready to sail your flowerbeds to the horizon.

Description: Tentacles for a beard and a crab claw where a hand should be: this yard gnome answers to Davy Jones. He's traded the ocean floor for your flower bed, barnacles and all.

Description: Dark grey armor and a grey-streaked beard mark this gnome as the older, battle-worn Batman. He clutches a batarang like he's still patrolling, just from a flowerbed now.

Description: Old-school and proud of it. This light grey serial-suit Batman gnome brings the 1943 cowl and cape to your garden decades before spandex got fancy.

Description: A thick beard under that cowl says this isn't your average Dark Knight. This Victorian-era Batman gnome patrols your hedges instead of gaslit Gotham streets.

Description: The sequel serial suit gets its own gnome, dark grey cowl and all. He carries the 1949 look right down to the underwear-over-tights style, standing sentinel by the hedges.

Description: One arm cradles a black cat, and the sparkly catsuit does the rest of the talking. This is the big-screen 1966 Catwoman, traded now for flower beds instead of film reels.

Description: Blonde hair, black zip-up catsuit, and a silver belt gleaming in the sun: this is the original small-screen Catwoman. Julie Newmar's version prowls your yard now instead of Gotham rooftops.

Description: A beaked mask, a raven on his staff, potion bottles clinking in a satchel full of secrets. He already diagnosed your garden gnomes with a case of the ordinary, and he brought the cure.

Description: Skull vest, gold chain, that bald headed glare. Stone Cold clocked in for the Attitude Era and he's not clocking out for your rose bushes, so hand him a beer and stand back.

Description: Purr-fectly poised in a sparkly bodysuit and gold claws, this Eartha Kitt Catwoman gnome slinks through your garden like it's her rooftop. Even yard decor needs a signature growl.

Description: Jesse Quick races into the garden in her maroon and yellow speedster gear, ponytail flying mid-sprint. Even a gnome needs a fast lap around the flower beds.
