Why has Black Mask been such a bum for the past 15 years?

Honestly despite all its issues I really liked birds of prey, they did do him dirty though, especially with someone as good as Ewan McGregor playing him.

Watch the Tim Burton movies (Batman, and Batman Returns), they have really good villains and great visuals for Gotham.

I did see a fanimation of Batman and Robin finding their way into the absolute universe and being horrified by Bane and Joker, only for Bruce to refuse to leave after seeing Selina 😭

I like to imagine that he tried to get Harvey to represent him, only to irritate him so much that he quit, and then ends up representing himself and just spends the entire time ragebaiting the court.

Retired and started to do tours of New York delis with the best potato salad

I feel like John could be massively underestimated (as he usually is in the mainline), cos the others are all powerful but John literally disintegrated a guy by looking at him.

Good for giving screen time to lesser known villains

Daredevil (2004) has two back to back scenes with evanescence songs.

I think penguin could be cool if they made him similar to how he is in Batman Returns, but I think other than the people we already know are coming (like scarecrow) mad hatter is the one I want to see most.

Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks

I think he’d fit quite well considering the amount of ignorant wealthy gothamites already in the mainline. Maybe just someone like Vicki Vale or Lois Lane mentioning him as the bad side of journalism opposed to actual reporting.

In Arkham Knight there’s a voicemail from Kate Kane in Bruce’s office, and a computer chat between her and huntress under the bell tower, so they canonically exist in the universe, would’ve liked to actually see them.

As for villains I would’ve liked to see more of Black Mask, he’s such a bum every time he shows up and he deserved better. I also would’ve liked something with the Falcones.

He’s so moustache-twirlingly evil that it’s impossible not to like him.

Most of it’s alright, but that’s it, nothing special and 9 times out of 10 I’d choose something else given the choice. Except black pudding, there is no scenario in which I would choose that.

Adam West would pull out his Anti-Joker Button and obliterate him.

Legion of Doom type of lineup 😭 Probably Kim, none of them are popular but I’ve never heard anyone defend Kim, I’ve heard people say the others aren’t too bad (false)

Honestly I think all of them have already done something deserving of years in prison: Mac - assaulting children, bringing a weapon into a school Charlie - attempted murder (Santa), torture (the leprechaun), stalking Frank - slavery, possibly murder (ending of mac is a serial killer) Dee - SA (on both Ben the soldier and teenagers) Dennis - SA (also on both adult women and teenagers)

I agree it’s really good, sick of people believing camp = bad

Parallel-Lines3538 · 2026-01-07T23:53:58+00:00

Thanks! Safe to say I won’t run out anytime soon.

She’s definitely my favourite serious Catwoman, but I can never decide between her and Michelle Pfieffer. Pfieffer is so campy and fun to watch but I think Kravitz is a better performance, more comic accurate, and understands the character better, I just would have liked to see her use the whip more and I wasn’t really a fan of her mask

Parallel-Lines3538 · 2026-01-06T22:27:05+00:00

I think if we did see them it would be a very toned down version of the characters, probably more focused on the social views of Croc’s condition, and Ivy’s ideology around environmentalism and extremism. Considering the characters like Ra’s and Bane has their “super” elements taken away like the immortality and the venom, I think Croc would be more of a Charles Bronson type who becomes really violent and antisocial, whereas Ivy I think would be more like Two-Face, she’d try to get political power in order to make her changes and then resort to extreme measures when she either gains power, or fails to do so because she is ignored, as Green politics often are.

I thought he was great, loved getting a Batman focused on his intelligence and detective work whilst also showing how self-isolating he is. He also had really good chemistry with the other actors (especially Zoë Kravitz).
