16 Bizarre And Forgotten Batman Adversaries Who Deserve To Appear In The Next Movie

Batman is a long-running American comic book series created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. It revolves around the DC Comics superhero Batman. The character was first introduced in Detective Comics #27 in May 1939. In his 80 years of fighting crime, Batman has encountered some truly bizarre villains.

The Batman has more Batvillains than you can shake a bat at, including Catwoman, Penguin, Falcone, The Riddler, Hush (because the Riddler stole his entire act), and, of course, the Clown Boy. With a new Arkham show on the way and a sequel all but certain, it's time to consider Robert Pattinson's cinematic future and all the villains he'll be facing (or kissing?) there.

Do you think a guy who ties people up and feeds them to rats is strange? Take a look at Condiment King. When the Joker introduces his daughter, Duela, you realize he's truly twisted.

Consider the Calendar Man if you think the Riddler has too narrow an aura. Some of Batman's foes have a reputation for being exceptionally bizarre.

These aren't all of them; in fact, they're not even the majority. However, these are some of the strangest foes the Bat Dude has ever faced.

Well, we shouldn’t judge writers too harshly.

It is hard to come up with a new villain for every episode. You can do it for some time, but once you’ve covered all the usual powers an evil mastermind should have (freezing people, igniting them, electrocuting them, turning them into mutants, etc.), you are left with not much else.

Then, you need to be creative. There is a famous episode of Lost in Space when the writers had no ideas, so they came up with a rebellion of vegetable people.

Yes, people dressed as vegetables. The actors couldn’t believe what they were forced to shoot and viewed it as a joke.

And the episode now has cult status. You can literally see how actors are trying not to laugh and rolling their eyes.
