10 Weirdest Batman Villains

[@DreamDragoness25]

Babydoll's episode actually made it on the list of "Saddest Batman: The Animated Series moments."

[@brucemorris3830]

Well after all... she didn’t mean it....

[@abramsullivan7764]

What episode is that?

[@robynvorsa9283]

The trouble was, the comics code really took the bite out of stories and that is why the villains were so weak. I did love Baby Doll though, that episode was so dark and heartbreaking.

[@Steve_Zilla]

I love that you included the Flaming Lips in this video. “Bad Days” is the best song from the Batman Forever soundtrack!

[@MrWhitman]

You were kind of wrong about Baby Doll's motivation. For one thing, SHE was the one who cancelled the show. The primary thing though was that the show WASN'T what she wanted. She wanted to fit in. The show was a WAY to fit in but she knew that it was still just pretend. So that whole thing was just a desperate attempt to find her place knowing full well it wasn't. That's why she ended up defeating herself in the end. She didn't have a working plan and she knew it. So she was just grasping at straws to find a place that she felt didn't exist. If you see the sequel to the episode, it shows that even Batman couldn't help her there.

[@sarahleonard7309]

This was one of the villains I felt really bad for, despite the nasty things she chose to do. She was clearly in pain.

[@MrOrcshaman]

Dude, the clock king was an amazing character. The concept being a man who was so tightly wound could fight batman understanding his every move and dodge them all. Also his voice actor was amazing (I'm talking about BTAS version)

[@TheZowwee]

I could watch this for hours! With as many weird batman enemy's there are; you could make a much longer list! This was very enjoyable! Great work Minty! I sure wish I was a little younger in the 90's so I could have got into watching the Batman animated series. I was in high school at that time. Sadly I was past the age of coming home after school to watch cartoons. As I got older and more into The Bat (and learning the great Mark Hamill was the voice of the joker) I really started to get into the animated series.

[@darkashtar]

The Calculator has also been overhauled in more recent times, he's kind of become more of a criminal version of Oracle functioning as more of a hacker and information broker for villains. It's kinda funny that some of the sillier enemies have gotten more interesting in more recent times.

[@GrandmasterDevo]

I heard of that Calculator before this old goofy one.

Minty: Great video! I was a comic book nerd, and Batman was one of my favorite heroes of the 80's/90's/2000's. As for his female villains, I could think of some things to do with Catwoman and Harley Quinn in the bedroom. I mean, Dayum!!!

[@Kingcj2001]

This is a great list, but I'm shocked that you didn't include Simon the Pieman. In the 1968 cartoon The Adventures of Batman, there was a villain terrorizing Gotham who just so happened to be a pastry chef. Yes, the nefarious Simon the Pieman, who also had a Russian Femme Fatale sidekick for some reason, menaced the Caped Crusader multiple times as the show tried to make him the ultimate foe of the World's Greatest Detective. Remember, folks, pastry chefs are evil - that was the lesson, I think...

[@palaceofwisdom9448]

Considering the current obesity epidemic, Simon the Pieman may have been ahead of his time. Some diabolical plans unfold more slowly than others.

[@PictureProductStudio]

Do you happen to know that Calculator has since evolved into an information broker and a longtime fan-favorite character? He managed to score several appearances in other media, as well, being rather notable on "Arrow". I wouldn't exactly call him nearly as weird as, for example, Condiment King. Plus, I can safely say that Batman's Rogues Gallery is all the more appealing thanks to all the weirdness: we've got to a point where it is actually an interesting question whether there's something wrong with Gotham (it is, in most versions).

Nice video Minty, and good selection. It does tread a fine line between "weird" and "pointless", but that's all down to interpretation anyway. he likes of Polka-dot Man and Calculator Man are useless as villains, whereas Egghead (created for the classic series) has a knowing silliness and charm to him; Mr. Freeze is a bit of a "hmm" entry as it might be more down to mis-cast Schwarzenegger's bad performance, as many villain's portrayals have wildly varied over the yeas (The Joker himself included). How about a 10 Weirdest 'He-Man' characters or 10 Weirdest 'Doctor Who' monsters? :)

"The Calculator" is now just Calculator and he is basically Villain tech support in the DCU. He is used in the game DCUO as the opposite of the Justice League's use of former Batgirl, Barbra Gordon's, Oracle to relay tech support and communication. There are two, sort of, bad villain's from Batman: The Animated series. Pack Rat a criminal who commits crimes to collect junk and refuse and Condiment King who commits crimes using ketchup and mustard firing guns, but as both were brainwashed by the Joker into being these villains I don't think they count.

Ok let me suggest a few of more recent ones. Johnny Karaoke, a singing yakuza assassin with Geisha themed back-up dancers. While most of the goofier members of Batman's Rogue's gallery come from the 60s and 70s this guy was actually created in 2007! Orca. A mad scientist who transformed herself into an anthropomorphic killer whale woman. She probably would have made a welcome addition to Aquaman's rogue's gallery but hoo boy did she look silly running around Gotham. Created by legendary GI Joe writer Larry Hana in 2000. Mortimer Kadaver, this decisively on-the-nose named villain is a gangster who lives in a haunted house and is obcessed with torture and death. He basically looks and acts like an evil version of Gomez Adams. Created by Alan Grant in 1988.

Hear are some more weird recent ones. Dr. Freak a hippie mad scientist who wants to hook Gotham City on a drug called LSD 2000. (Introduced in 1996.) Mother Grimm, a kindly old woman who maintains a gang of fairy-tale themed criminals while luring homeless children to her giant underground amusement park. (Introduced in 2001) Curtis & Brigit Eisenmann. Curtis is a former GCPD helicopter pilot who was disfigured in a crash that he blames Batman for. He comes back in a suit of armor looking for revenge but the real villain is his mother Brigit a nazi mad scientist that wants to have Batman's babies. (Created in 1991.)
