Great White is the name of a DC Comics villain. He first appeared in Arkham Asylum: Living Hell #1, and was created by Dan Slott and Ryan Sook.
[edit] Fictional character biography
In a 2003 Arkham Asylum: Living Hell six-issue mini written by Dan Slott and penciled by Ryan Sook, formerly crooked investor Warren "The Great White Shark" White, avoided prison time by pleading insanity and was sentenced to Arkham Asylum. There, among other indignities and torture, White was assaulted and locked in a refrigeration unit by Jane Doe. who was attempting to take over his identity. His injuries, compiled with excessive frost bite, left White deformed. His skin turned a pale white, and the frostbite claimed his nose, lips, hair, and several of his fingers, leaving him very much resembling a great white shark and driven partially mad. He now uses his business connections to serve as a liaison and fence for many of his fellow inmates.
In Batman #654, as part of One Year Later, James Robinson wrote "Face the Face", a story pencilled by Don Kramer and Leonard Kirk running concurently in both Batman and Detective Comics, setting up the status quo for upcoming runs of Paul Dini and Grant Morrison. We learn that Great White has been using his mob connections (as well as the new Tally Man) to kill those associated with Penguin as well as to frame Harvey Dent for their murders. Great White remains in Arkham, directing these actions from within as an alibi. Batman has since confronted him, and has threatened to tell Two-Face about the frame job, promising to let Two-Face have a shot at Great White when Two-Face is captured and returned to Arkham.
