Great White Shark managed to use Humpty Dumpty to negotiate with demons to give him a free pass on torture when he inevitably went to Hell, then he basically ran Arkham, at least at the end of his introductory series. Man has no place in this video.
The great white Shark has a lot of potential I think. They should make a story set in Arkham in which he controls who goes in and out the asylum. That’d allow him to: 1. Control criminal activity while being “arrested” so there’s nothing authorities can do to prove he’s behind it. He’d be virtually untouchable and one of the many horrors in the asylum. 2. Compete with the likes of Black Mask for control of Gotham’s underworld.
That defeats the point of his original story though. He went to Arkham because he's a con man who thought it would be easier to manipulate his way out of a mental health institution than prison. But he was wrong, and he's slowly dragged down to everyone else's level. Arkham Asylum: Living Hell is actually a really good comic, one of the best Batman stories out there. Idk why he was included on this list at all
It's a pretty dumbass name though, especially with Dr. added on. Also, batmans got two face, clay face and now no face. (I bet there's some other faces. Black mask, kinda close, face adjacent name)
Fun fact: Dr. No Face's real identity is Bartholomew Magen, a criminal who impersonated a scientist named Dr. Paul Dent. The irony of all is that the doctor's last name is "Dent", just like Harvey Dent a.k.a. Two-Face. It's a very odd coincidence that both Dr. No Face and Two-Face are Batman villains with something related with faces. To make it worse, there is another Batman villain known as False-Face who uses masks to impersonate others. False-Face appears in the 60's Batman show and in the animated show Batman Beyond. But that's not all. There are ANOTHER Batman villains called Babyface, who is a grown-up man with the head and face of a baby, and Man Face, who is a woman with the face of a man. Both Babyface and Man Face are exclusive characters from the animated show Batman: The Brave and The Bold. And then there is ANOTHER character called Three Face whose real name is Evelyn "Eve" Dent, a heroic female counterpart to Two-Face in Earth-Three (not the main DC continuity universe). I also have to mention Clayface who, while he is a complete shapeshifter, the original Clayface (Basil Karlo) was just a crazy actor wearing a mask that kills other actors. Seriously, what's the deal with Batman villains with face-themes?
DC could actually make The Eraser cool if they'd make him a Harvey Keitel in Pulp Fiction type character. The guy that helps other criminals with their crimes. "Erase" the giant eraser off his head, make him super intelligent and intimidating and boom, great character.
I feel the Eraser could work as a villain for a more grounded detective focus Batman story, like he could be a corrupt detective working for the mob throwing Batman off his clients crimes by tampering with evidence and forensics, if they can make a literal clown work they can make pencilman work
What if through some bizarre improbable turn of events these lamest villains were somehow the only villains in gotham? I don't mean to say they are the only villains physically in gotham city, I more mean to say that through some turn of events there are now no other villains (at all) except these? The story is seen through the viewpoint of these lame incompetent villains as they struggle with their lives and struggle to find any way at all of defeating the bat-family heroes and superheroes. It could work.
Condiment King is supposed to be lame and yet not completely unchallenging. His cunning combined with his general lack of aptitude is what constitutes the danger he represents to himself and others. A lot of Batman villains begin with that learning curve rather than being a ‘super villain’ right out of the gate. A lot of the time Killer Moth is also initially bad at what he does as he sets himself up.
Bouncer could be pretty cool if they did something like Viewtiful Joe. Hes so angry about being made fun of that he hones his skills the absolute perfection that he is able to doge anything thrown at him. Literally dancing through his opponents attacks making him virtually untouchable.
I once saw a really cool take on the Condiment King on TikTok where the guy got his name as a roundabout joke, and ended up leaning into it, using condiments to disguise the taste of poison as an assassin.
Nah, I like that he's just a goof. So many Batman villains are just straight-up serial killers, you need those guys that are just pains in the ass that bring some laughter and levity to the world.
@@jordanloux3883 I heard Condiment king has a special place in Batman’s hated villian list because the batsuit takes such a long time to clean after a battle with him
When you got to the Snowman, the first picture you used was an enemy of the Blackhawk Squadron (a team of fighter pilots that have worked with Batman, but are not Batman himself) and the rest of them were pictures of Blue Snowman, a Wonder Woman villain. As in, not Batman villains.
mr. Z actually sounds like an interesting villian. Like, imagine a Scarface situation, where in his daily life he's just a law-abiding citizen. But whenever he falls asleep, he becomes a claculated criminal.
Honestly I feel like the Bouncer could be cool as a flamboyant and elegant burglar. His concept is a bit silly, but the right execution IMO could do his kit justice.
Honestly, it's always up to the writers/directors to make the lame-sounding concepts sound cool. I mean, the basic concept of Batman is a rich human detective with a bat theme and various writers made that concept work.
Some villain reinventions: 1.) Calendar Man: a former Gotham City Historian/Librarian who runs a group “Calendar Cult” where there’s 365 members of his cult representing each day of the year. He is a Nostradamus type figure who has a “prophecy” of sorts and it is up to Batman and the reader to decide if the crimes being committed in Gotham are Calendar Man’s doing or he was genuinely able to prophesies it. You could maybe throw in elements of the Holiday Killer from the Long Halloween with different crimes for each holiday. Also he could do crimes that teach history lessons of Gotham where they thematically tie to Gotham’s past (“On This Day…”) 2. Doctor XX: a punk rock style drug dealer who utilizes an LSD type substance that allows users to astral project. 3. Ten Eyed Man: a former war vet who was blinded in battle. He then was gifted a military suit that looks similar to his traditional suit but the eyes on the suit are actually drone tech that he can control with his fingers/hand movements. The drones allow him to see with “Ten Eyes” and from ten different angles. You could also have it where him losing his sight heightened his other senses. He’ll essentially be like Punisher, Daredevil, and Doc Ock rolled into one. 4. Egghead: oh yeah, I’m going there. Instead of him being obsessed with eggs, his backstory revolves around him being a relative/descendant to the House of Faberge. He is obsessed with finding the missing Faberge eggs as he feels he is owed his families legacy.
No reason to change Egghead, he's a fun character that fits well in the world of 1960s show. Besides, your idea makes him come off as a heroic character who'd rather work with Batman to find these eggs
condement king is a threat if you have a food allergy to any of his weapons, he put one of the robins into anophalactic shock, but not only is Hot Sauce his most dangerous weapon, i think Horse Radish would be as well, that crap hurts worse going back up then going down
Captain Stingeree deserves a place on this list, as well. His villain identity was literally just the name and Sea Captain costume he wore as the owner/mascot of his seafood restaurant.
5:07 They really shilled how evil Great White Shark was in his first appearance by having villains who'd done far worse than embezzling money from old people's pensions call him the worst person they'd ever met.
How could you miss the lamest villain of them all? The Carpenter, she's just a really good carpenter. so she ends up getting kidnapped by villains and used to build their evil lairs. and once when she Confronted Batman for a fight, he just left.
Hold on, wait a minute. Cryonic Man was first introduced in 1984, Mr Freeze´s Heart of Ice Origin with Nora first aired in 1992. Did Freeze steal from Crynoic Man, if so your comment about him copying Freeze´s homework seems even more ironic. Also I feel what most people forget about a lot of these more silly villains, especially characters like the Eraser for excample is that they were made around a time where the comics essentially were only made to make new villains for the Batman 60s show with Adam West, as well as during a time were comicbooks were just a rather silly media, turtle Jimmy Olsen as the best excample.
you actually nailed it, the backstory didn’t exist until after the episode aired! and the thing that’s odder: that episode actually caused Mr. Freeze to be brought back since they killed him off a few months AFTER they introduced and killed Cryonic Man.
The other Ice guy at least had the Mr.Freeze motivation before Freeze himself did, so that's something. The eraser head guy could be cool in a goofy way. If you do weird/lame Spider-Man villains, there's the Wall, Bumbler(a miles villain) and Slyde. I hope you do X-men villains too.
How i would rework up some of these villains (Because i find some of them funny, also WIP); The Eraser: The son and potential heir of a giant cleaning company, he was a perfectionist with a dose of OCD, very germaphobic as well (he also lacked empathy). he was snubbed out of being the CEO and fell into severe drug abuse in his young adult years. he turned on the TV one time to see a News Report, apparently, the main cause of criminals getting caught was because they didn't cover their tracks much, seeing this he decides to volunteer in the criminal underworld, he serves as a cleaner who gets rid of evidence from crime scenes (Like cleaning blood, finger prints, and dissolving bodies with chemicals). He gains a name for himself, making tons of side money from his criminal hustle, seeing this he decides to rebrand accordingly. he wears a clean yellow-black (vertical) suit with matching grey pants, he also has pink hair with pink shaded glasses (his Internet profile picture is his orginal design by the way). He is a worthy foe for batman because he sometimes haults his detective work. The Bad Samaritan: (Context: this was inspired by a Solid JJ comment, things are about to get petty..) He is the rival of Bruce Wayne, he believes he is as bad as the other Wayne and Arkhams that came before him, so he decides to bully him and prank him constantly. He is an absolute prick and will do anything to get what he wants. Later down in life, he becomes a prosecutor, and a successful one at that. Then it happened, there was a leak from the media and Bruce was accused of massive corruption, he takes the case as Bruce prosecutor (This is his chance to get back at him once again), weeks go by, the case sometimes got heated or intense, but ultimately, bruce was decided to be not guilty. He was absolutely furious about this, and a few days later, he breaks into Wayne Manor to dig up dirt on him, he proceeds to accidentally reveal a hidden door which leads to the Batcave, he is absolutely stunned, and is shocked, "Atleast i can expose to everyone that Bruce is Batman!" He thought. Suddenly, BANG!, He fell to the ground, Alfred Pennyworth has killed him with a shotgun, he thought he was an intruder. he pulls out the mask from his body only to be shocked that it's Bruce Prosecutor all along. Meanwhile, in hell, he is absolutely furious, he decides to man up and go to Lucifer himself. he sits down with him and they proceed to negotiate a deal for 6 hours straight (he has a degree in Law afterall), they finally reached a deal. basically, he decides to CURSE the ENTIRE Wayne Blood Line, he also has put a curse on Wayne Manor. he comes back to life, as a ghost that can interact with objects, he decides to use the Nickname "The Bad Samaritan". He now Haunts Wayne Manor 24/7, he is a prick and is very annoying + Petty. A few of his daily antics are: Pulling out the wheels of the batwheel, Putting gum on the bottom of the table, clogging the toilet, making the shower extremely hot or cold, occasionally flickering the lights, Sharing insanely long monologues, etc. He is Alfreds arch nemesis. When the Batfamily is later introduced, they will also have to deal with him in the manor. His pettiness rivals the Reverse Flash.
I always laugh about how a lot of villains thing is just "well I'm good at this thing or I got bullied for this thing so I guess I'll just use this for crime,that'll fix it", Like some of these guys don't have any way to escape prison and just wait for big break outs and the ones that do get caught instantly I'm not even surprised the security can't keep Batman's most dangerous behind bars if Even the extras can get out
Didn’t cryonic man predate Mr. Freeze’s sympathetic origins that came from the animated series? The art doesn’t look like 90s era Batman and Mr. Freeze kinda sucked before his appearance in the animated BTAS
Wow, so they totally ripped off Cryonic Man to make Mister Freeza's origin story. How is this guy a bad villain? Sure, he died way too soon, but that seems to be a fault of the overall story, not the character concept
Actually there’s a story where Calculator is criminal mastermind with looks of decent nerdy young man. He got so good with „calculating” villain operations that he became Oracle for Bad Guys, and he organized everything right from his computer at his flat. To me he seems to be a wannabe as underrated as Killer Moth.
My pick is Condiment King, not because the character is lame (honestly I wouldn't even count the gag villains, being silly and ineffective is the entire point) but because it's lame that he keeps coming back. He was someone the Joker brainwashed and put in a stupid costume, playing him as a guy who genuinely thinks fighting with condiments is a good idea is missing the point imo.
Y'lknow, knowing he's just brainwashed makes it pretty sad how he is treated like a bona fide bd guy. The Flash whisked him away to a desert in Africa from where it took almost a year for him to get back home. Batman the humanitarian softy can't arrange some deprogramming for the poor guy in Arkham?
Killer Moth should be on here but got a reprieve in the 90s with his transformation into the mutant Charaxes.Same for Kite Man, who DC seems to like making fun of but also giving him a leg up on the other C-list characters
Lets be honest if the eraser had good writing he could have been probrably the most dangeroes and powerful batman villan or even become a justice league threat 🤔
hear me out how much of a threat would condiment king be if he used record breaking hot sauces that are like 10 million scovilles? like, imagine someone launching that at your eyes with a hose, not to mention the fumes
Reinventing Mr zzz with a different name can actually work. Just imagine a new crime lord nobody has seen taking hold of Gotham City while taking down other mob families.
Yknow, theres this one forgettable villain I vaguely remember- he was this clown guy who was always smiling... I can't put my finger on the name though...
On your latest video, you said your channel was dying. I really hope you dont stop making videos. I rewatch your videos often or make playlists to listen to while doing stuff. I dont have the attention span to read comics. (Im older than 25 younger than 35 its not a phase mom) so its nice to just listen to comic stuff.
If the Eraser can erase anything, he has the potential to be a very strong villan, and maybe Polka Dot Man’s dots can be used like the spot in marvel, or the calculator could add the multiply the damage of his attacks, or even divide incoming attacks, that would be SO cool😭🙏
I it bother me when condiment king is put with those other villain CK originated from the animated series where he was a comedian hypnotized by the joker to become a ridiculous villain, he was meant as a parody of the villains like crazy quilt, the eraser, kite man, ect... but he ended up classed with them
A lot of these villains are goofy but could be really terrifying if written right like the calculator he could be like a genius who calculates his plans down to the detail and batman has to try to stay one step ahead of him but it's always one step behind
Imagine if he would calculate even his calculations which would ultimately lead to his defeat and make him snap after finding even the smallest mistake in his plan.
I think itd be really cool if they made bag of bones into something unique. Like how they did with kite man who has a good backstory. Like if bag of bones was dropped in the same acid as joker but turned out lame and they find a situation he can be useful in, like a rainbow themed museum and he steals a purple thing and no one sees him and thats his greatest accomplishment. DC hit me up.
Say what you want about Cryonic Man, at least his wife wasn't his own mother. Phil wasn't sick, just desperate. Also, I think a few of these lame villains can be reworked if done correctly.
I'd love to see stupid Batman villains rewritten in a super dark way, but keeping their gimmicks. Like that ketchup guy straight up poisons food of random civilians as he walks by or something.
"Victor Freis" was created in 1992 by combining the back stories of Mr.Zero (1959) and Cryonic Man (1983) and the name "Mr.Freeze" came from the 1966 Batman television show. Mr. Zero didnt have a wife, he was just a mad scientist who had to wear a cryosuit because of a lab accident. Cryonic Man wasnt a scientist , he and his wife were two of the five people who agreed to be put in cryogenic sleep in the 1940's to escape the Holocaust, when he was awakened 40 years later he discovered that his four fellow "lab rats" had organ failure and he set about harvesting new organs for them utilizing the medical technology he found in the now abandoned lab.
Comic idea: Bat-Mite makes all of Batman’s shitty villains into scary, intelligent, and competent versions of themselves much like Box Ghost from Danny Phantom going from comic relief to threat.

"Nunnanun-naaaaahnun!"
@@Klausinator451 Good one, dude. 😂😂
@@m.lanzoni9306 thanks lol. I was quite proud of that one.
DC could actually make The Eraser cool if they'd make him a Harvey Keitel in Pulp Fiction type character. The guy that helps other criminals with their crimes. "Erase" the giant eraser off his head, make him super intelligent and intimidating and boom, great character.
Just give The Eraser pink hair lads (remove the mask), that would greatly improve his design.
I feel the Eraser could work as a villain for a more grounded detective focus Batman story, like he could be a corrupt detective working for the mob throwing Batman off his clients crimes by tampering with evidence and forensics, if they can make a literal clown work they can make pencilman work
Yes, but that outfit has got to stay in some form, it's too instantly iconic to huck.
What if through some bizarre improbable turn of events these lamest villains were somehow the only villains in gotham? I don't mean to say they are the only villains physically in gotham city, I more mean to say that through some turn of events there are now no other villains (at all) except these? The story is seen through the viewpoint of these lame incompetent villains as they struggle with their lives and struggle to find any way at all of defeating the bat-family heroes and superheroes. It could work.
Condiment King is supposed to be lame and yet not completely unchallenging. His cunning combined with his general lack of aptitude is what constitutes the danger he represents to himself and others. A lot of Batman villains begin with that learning curve rather than being a ‘super villain’ right out of the gate. A lot of the time Killer Moth is also initially bad at what he does as he sets himself up.
Bouncer could be pretty cool if they did something like Viewtiful Joe. Hes so angry about being made fun of that he hones his skills the absolute perfection that he is able to doge anything thrown at him. Literally dancing through his opponents attacks making him virtually untouchable.
I once saw a really cool take on the Condiment King on TikTok where the guy got his name as a roundabout joke, and ended up leaning into it, using condiments to disguise the taste of poison as an assassin.
Nah, I like that he's just a goof. So many Batman villains are just straight-up serial killers, you need those guys that are just pains in the ass that bring some laughter and levity to the world.
In a way this is true. In his debut in BTAS the Condiment King was a comedian that was brainwashed by the Joker.
@@jordanloux3883 I heard Condiment king has a special place in Batman’s hated villian list because the batsuit takes such a long time to clean after a battle with him
When you got to the Snowman, the first picture you used was an enemy of the Blackhawk Squadron (a team of fighter pilots that have worked with Batman, but are not Batman himself) and the rest of them were pictures of Blue Snowman, a Wonder Woman villain. As in, not Batman villains.
and she(Blue Snowman is a woman) is one of Wonder Woman’s oldest and deadliest rogues
It's also funny because Snowman's backstory alone is perfect fodder for this type of video.
For a channel all about comics, this video feels really misinformed and surface level
@@WillKarleskint tbh that's how a lot of comic book channels are
you'll always find the same picks for "worst batman villains" on these lists
I'm surprised that Batman Who Laughs wasn't on here.
Why, the bat who laughs is one of the most terrifying concepts. A batman that gets corrupted by the joker. There is nothing lame about that.
mr. Z actually sounds like an interesting villian.
Like, imagine a Scarface situation, where in his daily life he's just a law-abiding citizen.
But whenever he falls asleep, he becomes a claculated criminal.
The Great White Shark actually could be a side story in an Arkham game.
any lame villain can be a legit threat in the hands of a good writer and no one telling them no.
They should do something like Marvel did with “Superior Foes of Spider-Man” and have the five lamest villains team up. It was a hilarious series.
There was something like that, The Misfits. Batman: Shadow of the Bat issue 7, 8, and 9.
Ah thanks, I’ll have to check it out
Honestly I feel like the Bouncer could be cool as a flamboyant and elegant burglar. His concept is a bit silly, but the right execution IMO could do his kit justice.
Batroc the Leaper works for marvel, could see how they could make this guy work too lol
Honestly, it's always up to the writers/directors to make the lame-sounding concepts sound cool. I mean, the basic concept of Batman is a rich human detective with a bat theme and various writers made that concept work.
Some villain reinventions:
1.) Calendar Man: a former Gotham City Historian/Librarian who runs a group “Calendar Cult” where there’s 365 members of his cult representing each day of the year. He is a Nostradamus type figure who has a “prophecy” of sorts and it is up to Batman and the reader to decide if the crimes being committed in Gotham are Calendar Man’s doing or he was genuinely able to prophesies it. You could maybe throw in elements of the Holiday Killer from the Long Halloween with different crimes for each holiday. Also he could do crimes that teach history lessons of Gotham where they thematically tie to Gotham’s past (“On This Day…”)
2. Doctor XX: a punk rock style drug dealer who utilizes an LSD type substance that allows users to astral project.
3. Ten Eyed Man: a former war vet who was blinded in battle. He then was gifted a military suit that looks similar to his traditional suit but the eyes on the suit are actually drone tech that he can control with his fingers/hand movements. The drones allow him to see with “Ten Eyes” and from ten different angles. You could also have it where him losing his sight heightened his other senses. He’ll essentially be like Punisher, Daredevil, and Doc Ock rolled into one.
4. Egghead: oh yeah, I’m going there. Instead of him being obsessed with eggs, his backstory revolves around him being a relative/descendant to the House of Faberge. He is obsessed with finding the missing Faberge eggs as he feels he is owed his families legacy.
Does he still say "eggsellent"?
@@octaviusroosevelt7355
🙄 fine. I’ll make an “egg-ception” and he can use that phrase. 😂
No reason to change Egghead, he's a fun character that fits well in the world of 1960s show. Besides, your idea makes him come off as a heroic character who'd rather work with Batman to find these eggs
condement king is a threat if you have a food allergy to any of his weapons, he put one of the robins into anophalactic shock, but not only is Hot Sauce his most dangerous weapon, i think Horse Radish would be as well, that crap hurts worse going back up then going down
Captain Stingeree deserves a place on this list, as well. His villain identity was literally just the name and Sea Captain costume he wore as the owner/mascot of his seafood restaurant.
5:07 They really shilled how evil Great White Shark was in his first appearance by having villains who'd done far worse than embezzling money from old people's pensions call him the worst person they'd ever met.
I hope you do more videos like this for other heroes. There are just so many weird and obscure villains out there, especially during the Silver Age.
How could you miss the lamest villain of them all?
The Carpenter, she's just a really good carpenter. so she ends up getting kidnapped by villains and used to build their evil lairs.
and once when she Confronted Batman for a fight, he just left.
Hold on, wait a minute. Cryonic Man was first introduced in 1984, Mr Freeze´s Heart of Ice Origin with Nora first aired in 1992. Did Freeze steal from Crynoic Man, if so your comment about him copying Freeze´s homework seems even more ironic. Also I feel what most people forget about a lot of these more silly villains, especially characters like the Eraser for excample is that they were made around a time where the comics essentially were only made to make new villains for the Batman 60s show with Adam West, as well as during a time were comicbooks were just a rather silly media, turtle Jimmy Olsen as the best excample.
you actually nailed it, the backstory didn’t exist until after the episode aired!
and the thing that’s odder: that episode actually caused Mr. Freeze to be brought back since they killed him off a few months AFTER they introduced and killed Cryonic Man.
The other Ice guy at least had the Mr.Freeze motivation before Freeze himself did, so that's something. The eraser head guy could be cool in a goofy way.
If you do weird/lame Spider-Man villains, there's the Wall, Bumbler(a miles villain) and Slyde.
I hope you do X-men villains too.
Batman has a genuine fear of condiment king 😭 he’s the one and only person that scares him
4:34 AHHHHHHH HELL NAH, BATMAN FOUGHT AGAINST A CAMERA MAN FROM SKIBIDI TOILET?!?!?!
YES 😈😈😈😈
How i would rework up some of these villains (Because i find some of them funny, also WIP);
The Eraser: The son and potential heir of a giant cleaning company, he was a perfectionist with a dose of OCD, very germaphobic as well (he also lacked empathy). he was snubbed out of being the CEO and fell into severe drug abuse in his young adult years. he turned on the TV one time to see a News Report, apparently, the main cause of criminals getting caught was because they didn't cover their tracks much, seeing this he decides to volunteer in the criminal underworld, he serves as a cleaner who gets rid of evidence from crime scenes (Like cleaning blood, finger prints, and dissolving bodies with chemicals). He gains a name for himself, making tons of side money from his criminal hustle, seeing this he decides to rebrand accordingly. he wears a clean yellow-black (vertical) suit with matching grey pants, he also has pink hair with pink shaded glasses (his Internet profile picture is his orginal design by the way). He is a worthy foe for batman because he sometimes haults his detective work.
The Bad Samaritan: (Context: this was inspired by a Solid JJ comment, things are about to get petty..)
He is the rival of Bruce Wayne, he believes he is as bad as the other Wayne and Arkhams that came before him, so he decides to bully him and prank him constantly. He is an absolute prick and will do anything to get what he wants. Later down in life, he becomes a prosecutor, and a successful one at that. Then it happened, there was a leak from the media and Bruce was accused of massive corruption, he takes the case as Bruce prosecutor (This is his chance to get back at him once again), weeks go by, the case sometimes got heated or intense, but ultimately, bruce was decided to be not guilty. He was absolutely furious about this, and a few days later, he breaks into Wayne Manor to dig up dirt on him, he proceeds to accidentally reveal a hidden door which leads to the Batcave, he is absolutely stunned, and is shocked, "Atleast i can expose to everyone that Bruce is Batman!" He thought.
Suddenly, BANG!, He fell to the ground, Alfred Pennyworth has killed him with a shotgun, he thought he was an intruder. he pulls out the mask from his body only to be shocked that it's Bruce Prosecutor all along.
Meanwhile, in hell, he is absolutely furious, he decides to man up and go to Lucifer himself. he sits down with him and they proceed to negotiate a deal for 6 hours straight (he has a degree in Law afterall), they finally reached a deal. basically, he decides to CURSE the ENTIRE Wayne Blood Line, he also has put a curse on Wayne Manor. he comes back to life, as a ghost that can interact with objects, he decides to use the Nickname "The Bad Samaritan". He now Haunts Wayne Manor 24/7, he is a prick and is very annoying + Petty. A few of his daily antics are: Pulling out the wheels of the batwheel, Putting gum on the bottom of the table, clogging the toilet, making the shower extremely hot or cold, occasionally flickering the lights, Sharing insanely long monologues, etc. He is Alfreds arch nemesis. When the Batfamily is later introduced, they will also have to deal with him in the manor. His pettiness rivals the Reverse Flash.
Alfried wouldn't kill him straight away
@@tfordham13 True
The Great White Shark ironically has the funniest origin story on this list, at least he sort of got his comuppance for destroying all the pension.
Shark: You're Joker. You kill people.
Joker: Hey, at least I don't steal their kids' college funds.
I always laugh about how a lot of villains thing is just "well I'm good at this thing or I got bullied for this thing so I guess I'll just use this for crime,that'll fix it", Like some of these guys don't have any way to escape prison and just wait for big break outs and the ones that do get caught instantly I'm not even surprised the security can't keep Batman's most dangerous behind bars if Even the extras can get out
Didn’t cryonic man predate Mr. Freeze’s sympathetic origins that came from the animated series? The art doesn’t look like 90s era Batman and Mr. Freeze kinda sucked before his appearance in the animated BTAS
I dunno. Mr.Zzz sounds like a fun minor villain.
Created by Paul Dini himself.
“how do we know he’s actually asleep?”
“💤”
“I can’t believe I doubted him”
Wow, so they totally ripped off Cryonic Man to make Mister Freeza's origin story. How is this guy a bad villain? Sure, he died way too soon, but that seems to be a fault of the overall story, not the character concept
Actually there’s a story where Calculator is criminal mastermind with looks of decent nerdy young man. He got so good with „calculating” villain operations that he became Oracle for Bad Guys, and he organized everything right from his computer at his flat. To me he seems to be a wannabe as underrated as Killer Moth.
The Eraser could be a really cool villain if they just rebooted him into some Frank Miller style cleaner.
My pick is Condiment King, not because the character is lame (honestly I wouldn't even count the gag villains, being silly and ineffective is the entire point) but because it's lame that he keeps coming back. He was someone the Joker brainwashed and put in a stupid costume, playing him as a guy who genuinely thinks fighting with condiments is a good idea is missing the point imo.
Y'lknow, knowing he's just brainwashed makes it pretty sad how he is treated like a bona fide bd guy. The Flash whisked him away to a desert in Africa from where it took almost a year for him to get back home.
Batman the humanitarian softy can't arrange some deprogramming for the poor guy in Arkham?
Killer Moth should be on here but got a reprieve in the 90s with his transformation into the mutant Charaxes.Same for Kite Man, who DC seems to like making fun of but also giving him a leg up on the other C-list characters
Didn't killer moth appear in teen titans and he had a bratty teen daughter ?
I forgot as i haven't seen the show in years
@@errorbirdesther he did, in his Charaxes form
@@errorbirdesther
Yeah. That show had a lot of unconventional takes on D-list villains.
Mr. Freeze's origin wasn't revealed until after Cryonic Man's appearance. So any copying would have actually went the other way.
This video is literally helping me fight crippling holiday depression. Thanks for this
All these are possible through Jesus Christ feel better
My OCD was very strong at Christmas. I hope next Christmas is better.
Me and my cousin have decided to finish the superhero book next year
Best of luck!
@@Zanemob Thank you 😁
Lets be honest if the eraser had good writing he could have been probrably the most dangeroes and powerful batman villan or even become a justice league threat 🤔
Bag of bones walked so doctor phosphorus could walk a little faster, so that blight could run
So Mr. Freeze from the animated series onwards is basically just a fusion between the classic Mr. Freeze and Cryonic Man?
hear me out
how much of a threat would condiment king be if he used record breaking hot sauces that are like 10 million scovilles? like, imagine someone launching that at your eyes with a hose, not to mention the fumes
Reinventing Mr zzz with a different name can actually work. Just imagine a new crime lord nobody has seen taking hold of Gotham City while taking down other mob families.
In fairness to Condiment King, originally he wasn't even a real villain, just some random schmuck who got brainwashed by the real villain.
*4:30** "Until he fucking died" made burst out laughing cause of how unexpected it was*
Ten-eyed man just like a villain version of dream core lol
Merry Christmas Mullet, this has the lighthearted energy that's good for the holidays.
0:04 who is this villain?
Arnold Wesker
Greg
You know whats even better? They retconned the Penny Plunderers giant penny in the batcave. It wasn't even originally gotten there.
I always assumed it was a trophy that had something to do with Two-Face. You live, you learn.
@@Aivottaja wasn't even involving two-face post retcon. They made it the Joker's
2:17 The kite man one really caught me off guard.
The Eraser's actually pretty cool! He can erase any evidence at a crime scene
The snowman looks like a Scooby doo villain
I thought he was the pillsbury doughboy
If your villain embodies an inanimate object or like…just a gun, they’re probably gonna suck.
Calculator podria funcionar como el villano principal de una película live action
Yknow, theres this one forgettable villain I vaguely remember- he was this clown guy who was always smiling... I can't put my finger on the name though...
merry Christmas chat
also mullet man should make an individual condiment king video
On your latest video, you said your channel was dying. I really hope you dont stop making videos. I rewatch your videos often or make playlists to listen to while doing stuff. I dont have the attention span to read comics. (Im older than 25 younger than 35 its not a phase mom) so its nice to just listen to comic stuff.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays! Ultimate chad move uploading on Christmas day.
If the Eraser can erase anything, he has the potential to be a very strong villan, and maybe Polka Dot Man’s dots can be used like the spot in marvel, or the calculator could add the multiply the damage of his attacks, or even divide incoming attacks, that would be SO cool😭🙏
Even the lowest tier of Batman’s rogues has some banger characters, or at the very least, Most feel that they’re so bad, they’re good
I it bother me when condiment king is put with those other villain
CK originated from the animated series where he was a comedian hypnotized by the joker to become a ridiculous villain, he was meant as a parody of the villains like crazy quilt, the eraser, kite man, ect... but he ended up classed with them
A lot of these villains are goofy but could be really terrifying if written right like the calculator he could be like a genius who calculates his plans down to the detail and batman has to try to stay one step ahead of him but it's always one step behind
Imagine if he would calculate even his calculations which would ultimately lead to his defeat and make him snap after finding even the smallest mistake in his plan.
The Suicide Squad movie (The one with King Shark) actually turned Polka Dot Man into a credible threat.
Batman could cure all of “mad hatter”’s problems if he bought him an Alice Margatroid fumo
You bet in a manga, all these guys would put on a great fight lmao
Also the Great White Shark got a sick look
I think itd be really cool if they made bag of bones into something unique. Like how they did with kite man who has a good backstory. Like if bag of bones was dropped in the same acid as joker but turned out lame and they find a situation he can be useful in, like a rainbow themed museum and he steals a purple thing and no one sees him and thats his greatest accomplishment.
DC hit me up.
With the right individual or creative team(s) every character can be made worthy!!!
Say what you want about Cryonic Man, at least his wife wasn't his own mother. Phil wasn't sick, just desperate. Also, I think a few of these lame villains can be reworked if done correctly.
What an odd thing to say. I mean, is there a villain whose wife was his own mother?
I’d love Lenny Fiasco, aka The Eraser, to appear as a side villain in a Batman movie, where he is an evidence-eraser for hire.
5:38 Jeesh, burning hell's a kinda overkill for such a lame villain.
These villains can be handled by the police easily and don't even need Batman like Kitaman shoot holes in his kite
I think Cryonic Man's story was his orginally, but used with Mr. Freeze in BTAS, which used the Penny Pincher's big penny with Two Face.
I'd love to see stupid Batman villains rewritten in a super dark way, but keeping their gimmicks. Like that ketchup guy straight up poisons food of random civilians as he walks by or something.
2:22 - 2:28 *Crickets in the audience. Cluemaster cues the Price Is Right Fail Horn*
3:07 Frosty has fallen on hard times ever since he decided to move to Gotham.
"Victor Freis" was created in 1992 by combining the back stories of Mr.Zero (1959) and Cryonic Man (1983) and the name "Mr.Freeze" came from the 1966 Batman television show.
Mr. Zero didnt have a wife, he was just a mad scientist who had to wear a cryosuit because of a lab accident.
Cryonic Man wasnt a scientist , he and his wife were two of the five people who agreed to be put in cryogenic sleep in the 1940's to escape the Holocaust, when he was awakened 40 years later he discovered that his four fellow "lab rats" had organ failure and he set about harvesting new organs for them utilizing the medical technology he found in the now abandoned lab.
Comic idea: Bat-Mite makes all of Batman’s shitty villains into scary, intelligent, and competent versions of themselves much like Box Ghost from Danny Phantom going from comic relief to threat.
I would also like it as a episode to a animated show
Stupid supervillains in general are always top tier amusement 🤣
Maybe the snowman has a good personality 💀💀
someone needs to give Dr. Noface a redo, he could be one of the scariest and most gruesome villains in comics
I honestly see potential in characters like the shark dude and the bad Samaritan
You my favorite TH-camr keep up the good work I rarely comment ❤
