Anarky is a fictional character in comic books published by DC Comics. Co-created by Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle, he first appeared in Detective Comics No. 608 (November 1989), as an adversary of Batman. A former child prodigy driven to overthrow governments to improve social conditions, he has espoused environmentalism, antimilitarism, economic equality, and especially anti-statism. Anarky was used as a sporadically recurring character throughout the early 1990s, following a positive reception by readers, and experienced a brief surge in media exposure during the late 1990s. The 1997 spin-off series Anarky generated positive reviews. In 2008, he reappeared in an issue of Robin, and then became a recurring character in issues of Red Robin, authored by Fabian Nicieza, until the series was cancelled in 2011. Since 2013 Anarky has been featured more heavily in media adaptations of DC Comics properties, across multiple platforms. He made his live action debut in 2015 in Arrow, a television series based on the Green Arrow character, where he was portrayed by Alexander Calvert, once again as a villain.
