Gentleman Ghost Origin - This Obscure Ghost Criminal Is Batman & Hawkman's Oldest & Brilliant Foe

[@kenb2671]

I remember the Gentleman Ghost from The All New Superfriends Hour. He took his revenge on Superman and Wonder Woman by turning them into ghosts. It was a great series with the GG being one of their most formidable foes.

[@damianprock1650]

Yet the prison he's incarcerated at is Blackgate from Gotham City, Batman's hometown

[@angrygarbanzo5436]

Finally, a villain with some drip.

[@jamestoner3900]

I was first introduced to Gentleman Ghost from Batman: The Brave and The Bold, I freaking love him, he is underrated as a villain and deserves more credit, I am so glad he has a Lego Minifigure, it's a shame Gentleman Ghost isn't in DC's Arrowverse, The Writers will probably regret not putting him in at all, he probably would have been a Villain on DC's Legends of Tomorrow, i would have put him the Third Season as an Antagonist, I Hope Gentleman Ghost appears in a Live Action DC Movie one day, Jude Law is the perfect actor to play this Ghostly DC Supervillain in Live Action, Law was born to play him, he was also a villain who was seriously considered to appear in Batman: The Animated Series but sadly never did, had he though it would have made him a but more memorable and a bit more recognized, it's also cool that despite being primarily a Hawkman/Hawkgirl Villain, Gentleman Ghost has also Fought Batman and The Justice Society of America,

[@Karlos1234ify]

He was a beast on the Brave & the Bold. Him & Equinox

[@damianprock1650]

Yep

[@peterstoric6560]

I grew up watching brave and the bold and I never realized how obscure some of the characters were. I remember talking to one of my friends and mentioned booster gold, assuming he was common knowledge, and he’d never heard of him

[@Wi-Fi-El]

I could see Gentleman Ghost making a great movie adversary. Maybe Robert's Batman is descended from the executioner who put an innocent Craddock to death, and Gentleman Ghost is hunting down the descendants of the judge, jury, etc. Maybe Gordon is the descendant of the arresting officer, and two-face is the heir to the judge who sentenced Craddock

[@marcanthonymendez494]

Cool plot

[@mcswaggins4123]

A better plot than what most superhero movies give us today...

[@Kal-Grayskull]

Please do one for Anarky, he’s one of my favourite underrated DC villains

[@ericokonkwo7771]

Imagine if the Gentleman Ghost was the 13th Ghost in the 2001 film 13 Ghost and Actor Tony S., interesting Plot Twist! Also Imagine Gentleman Ghost vs. Deadman, interesting Fight/Battle!

[@ivane5110]

I always liked this character, but when I was a kid his ghostly nature was still in question (at least in all of his appearances I read), which I preferred. It was fun looking for clues about "is he or isn't he?" But, I'll always consider him an Earth-Two Hawkman villain since that Golden Age reprint was my introduction to him. Its a shame though that Crisis couldn't have held off long enough to find out if the Earth-Two and Earth-One Gentleman Ghosts were one and the same and if not, which, if any, were really ghosts.

[@grumpyorgre2336]

In one comic continuity gentleman ghost was a British highwayman who could communicate with and talk to ghosts and spirits

[@damianprock1650]

You just wait til he faces Danny Phantom

[@Synthetic_Soul_CH]

A Horror Batman Movie featuring Gentleman Ghost would have some real potential

[@LarryCucumber]

Big fan of the description talking about a completely different DC character

[@randomcanadianguy9740]

I love how everytime i saw a video about a weird villian of dc or marvel, i suddenly see one of your video talling about that exact villain and i love it

[@alfonsopina3976]

Mads Mikkelsen would Made a Great and Outstanding a Satellite Award for Best Actor in a Series, Drama/Genre, BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role to Bring The Character of Gentleman Ghost/ Gentleman James J. Craddock to life in The Batfleck Universe, and a Chance square against Batfleck, Charlie Hunnam as Green Arrow, The JLA, Justice League Dark, and The Justice Society with Guillermo Del Toro as Director, Martin Scorsese, Zack and Deborah Snyder as Executive Producers, and Story by Lionel Wigram, Jai Nitz and Jeff Lemire

[@MissyFaith1971]

It would be good to see both Gentlemen Ghost and Deadman in some capacity in movies. Maybe a Justice League Dark movie. I remember Batman was featured in an animated Justice League Dark movie

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

Out of the 5,000+ D.C. characters there has to be a better match up for this character than Batman!!!! I would hate for the introduction to the underworld or horror in comic movies to be introduced by Batman!!!!

[@davidbanner7804]

Deadman, zatana, Jason Blood/ Etragan or dr. Fate all would be better foil for Gentleman ghost than Buttman

[@wesstewart2677]

I agree but I think it depends. If they do a version where it’s ambiguous if he’s a ghost or not but it’s revealed in the end he’s human than sure he could be a Batman villain. But if he’s actually a ghost then it’d make more sense for him to be at least a Zatanna villain.

Question, canonically, which side is his monocle supposed to be on? It seems to flip back and forth from appearance to appearance (maybe he rotates it to keep his vision even.)

[@markmurphy8658]

you forgot that he was in the super friends. after superman and wonder woman.

[@theghostmaker45]

It's weird he's a ghost and he can be seen but Deadman can't be seen how does that work

[@astrocitizen]

DC's horror anthology GHOSTS had a host in its later issues that was a virtual dead ringer for the Gentleman Ghost called Squire Shade. The only noticeable difference between them was that SS wore pince-nez while GG wears a monocle. It would make for a nice fake out if a DC movie looked to be having the Gentleman Ghost pop up, only to reveal it's the Squire Shade as a sort of supernatural confidential informant.
