He was introduced with a connection to Bruce Wayne and had similarities to Hush before Dr. Elliott was introduced. It was his own creator who had to dust him him off 9 years after his first use (only a villain gathering had Black Mask appeared in aside from that) that got him proper attention. However, Black Mask joined the mainstays with War Games and got a taste of being notorious atop the the underworld for a few years. Catwoman offing him in her only kill is something that Roman Sionias never quite recovered from. Dr. Arkham took his place briefly, but Black Mask while notable now is not where he should be.

I never even considered Condiment King a joke villain since he was one of three comdians under Joker's mind control in a single episode of Batman:TAS. Is Pack Rat and Mad Mod actual villains too? Well, Batman vol. 3 #54 legitimizes Condiment King giving him seven successful robberies and three murders. I am one who loves nobody villians, but this guy is one I never even catgorized as an actual low level villain.

Black Mask no longer underrated as he becomes the 13th Batman villain to be adapted into film?
https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/birds-o...ews.63625.html I was not sure of which thread to plant this on so I dropped it here.

Black Mask will be villain A and Mr.Zsasz will be villain B. I dont consider the plainclothes cameo in Batman Begins as an appearance so this will make 14 villains of Batman's rogues gallery to appear in a film as an antagonist. |

I think Mekros had a lot of potential. He showed up in Batman #501 and #502 and always has left an impression on me. He's like a self-brainwashed hitman, going around quoting Machiavelli's "The Prince" as he does his murders.

William Tockman, the Green Arrow villain who appeared in Batman (1966) two parter and fought Justice League International alongside Cluemaster or Temple Fugate of Batman: TAS?

No, he wasn't the "Top Hat & Tuxedo Variant" but it would have been silly to expect that then, or now. I mean, after the movie the comic books changed his appearance to make his Batman Begins look "official". If they've since walked it back I'm unaware of it. I prefer the original look, myself, but saying it "doesn't count" in Begins is silly.

I just got done reading "Batman: The Cult" a few days ago. How about Deacon Blackfire? He's pretty obscure, but he sure got a lot done right out of the gate. Did he ever show up again?
I've mentioned this elsewhere, but I'm fairly certain that Nolan borrowed huge chunks of "The Cult" for "The Dark Knight Rises", and simply swapped Blackfire out for Bane.

Similiar to how The Wrath was reworked for The New 52 so was Deacon Blavkfire. His story took place in Batman Eternal which I did not read cover to cover. He returned possessing Maxie Zues, who also should have been dead in a second story, third overall. Comics, go figure! What villain has the most rewrites? My guess is Dr. Death. There has been perhaps four different Dr. Deaths none replacing the other and all acting like the inirial encounter.

I should've known that, thanks. Been a long time since I read Blackest Night.

Did you get a chance to look at the Blackest Night: Batman link I sent you.
I just finished the latest Fuller House episode drop. There was a segment which referring to the San Francisco Chronicle as The Chronicle was believed by a dimwitted high schooler to be a Batman villain. Odd reference and perhaps showcasing Batman villains can come out of anything silly or serious showing the success of Batman.

i have to be honest, i did kind of enjoy seeing The Spook beheaded by Damian Wayne. sure it was a slapstick moment, but it showed what a Problem Child Damian truly was. and gave Batman a realization as to just what a danger this child was. and in comics, no character is ever truly dead.

I thought Spook would have returned by now. If everyone else can get well.Why not play up one or the other his escape artistry to get out of the beheading or come back undead and be an actual Sppok? The only thing campy about him is coincidental, the fact his name is Val Kaliban opposed to Val Kilmer, a slight name tweak and there you go. These are his appearances, but note #291-#294 is as a gathering of villains which he portrays a juror. Which ones did you read? Detective Comics #434 (April 1973): "The Spook Who Stalked Batman" Detective Comics #435 (June-July 1973): "The Spook Strikes Again" Batman #252 (October 1973): "The Spook's Master Stroke" Batman #276 (June 1976): "The Haunting of the Spook" Batman #291 (September 1977): "Where Were You On the Night Batman Was Killed?" Batman #292 (October 1977): "The Testimony of the Riddler" Batman #293 (November 1977): "The Testimony of Luthor" Batman #294 (December 1977): "Testimony of the Joker" Batman #304 (October 1978 ): "To Hell with Batman--and Back" Detective Comics #488 (February-March 1980): "The Spook's Death Sentence for Batman" Detective Comics #526 (May 1983): "All My Enemies Against Me" Then there is "Scared Straight" from Gotham Knights #46 (December 2003) that portrayed him differently and perhaps inspired Batman#657's use of the character. Morrison said he was a favorite forgotten character, why would you kill a favorite to build up one of her own? "Favorite", sure its what I would have done to Professor Pyg.

The other one I seem to be the only fan of is Rupert Thorne, has Carmine Falcone taken any role that Rupert Thorne would play as the plainclothes kinpin of the underworld who looks down on the "freaks"? Batman needs an untouchable if not plainclothes mob figure. Sure there is Penguin, but there is room for more and Penguin is likely to take to the field form time to time and direct thugs. Even so Carmine can be dead and Rupert can be related or connected to Falcone and try to pull a Palpitine and take power.

so far most writers just want to try to create their own crappy villains to make a name for themselves. then we end up with trash like Gotham and Gotham Girl. Crazy Quilt was re-invented for the new52 just so he could be unceremoniously killed off. then without explanation was simply brought back and used in a later story. i’d read all the ones you suggested to me. pretty sure they were Detective Comics #434, Detective Comics #435, Batman #252, & Batman #276 i’ll save this list have to re-read them again soon. why would you kill a favorite to build up one of her own? writers always do that. Tom King just recently did that to Bane, but back-peddaled it as soon as he got swamped with hate. that didn’t stop him from sticking to killing Alfred though, that putz.

Wait...I know Crazy Quilt made a cameo or two in King's run, but I did not know he was killed. I actually watched this new video from Gotham Rogues this morning while eating breakfast.
