Like PART 1, make sure to correct me on any incorrect info or villains I missed so I can make sure to fix it in the future compilation video. Thanks!

[@gavinpower2020]

gotta do your due diligence and play suicide squad kill the justice league. if you want to get super crazy you can try liking the game too

[@braynap8283]

Though these villains are returning villains. They're very different versions of the villains we know. Im talking about the Audio Dramas on Spotify of both Batman Unburied(2021) and Ridder: Secerts of Gotham(2022). An example is the Ridder, which is more part of the Bat-Family than he is a villain. Knowing Batgirl and helping Batman a few times, or Azrael, being the main villain of Secerts of Gotham, killing unknown rogues as to please his God, and kill Ridder last.

[@nightspawnson-of-luna4936]

I'm assuming that the WW2 Tank posesed by a confederate ghost is some other hero's villain then...Because I'm pretty sure that was a villain on Brave and the Bold

Quick correction: The Long Halloween comic actually ends with the reveal that there were multiple Holiday killers; Gilda and Harvey doing the inital killings and Alberto coming it at the end as a dillusional scapegoat.

[@paulakroy2635]

No Alberto and Gilda both did the killing. Harvey didn’t till the end. Gilda couldn’t have been holiday the whole time because Alberto had to fake his death

[@UnderTheUmbrella_]

@@paulakroy2635 Oh oops. I misremembered, but the point still stands Gilda was always Holiday.

[@spencernaugle]

If I remember correctly, the reason that story is so iconic is because they left it ambiguous who did what. A classic case of ending a story without actually explaining anything so people theorize about it forever. Like inception, or total recall, or depending who you ask, The Killing Joke

[@mikhaelgribkov4117]

@@spencernaugle no, wtf are you on about? She literally explains that she did the killings. The story is overhyped ass with people headcanons giving it more depth than there actually is.

[@enriqueaquiahuatl8554]

As a fun fact, the giant penny isn't even necessarily a reference to the Penny Plunderer. The penny's origin was retconned a few issues after the Penny Plunderer's debut to be related to the Joker, and over time, it has been attributed to other villains like Two-Face. The Penny Plunderer has been so disrespected that DC has tried to disconnect his own memento from him. I expect DC to realize their mistake and feature the Penny Plunderer as the main villain in The Batman sequel, and then give him his own TV series

[@percher4824]

But does it double in size every day?

[@jamemhm]

A potential addition: In the Batman: The Brave and the Bold series, Calendar Man does make his first on-screen debut, but he isn't actually able to summon holiday icons. This power belongs to Calendar King, who is Calendar Man given reality bending powers by Batmite. Calendar King may be considered as a separate villain, but I can't remember if you counted villains with the same identity (like Firefly and Phosphorus).

[@shaggyrogers8869]

He did court them

[@icantnotthink3282]

Weirdly enough. I'd honestly consider Calander King and Man to be the same but not Phosphorus and Firefly. Like it feels more like the difference between King Joker and Joker vs. Twoface and Judge, which feels more seperated

[@a1rg3ar31]

@@icantnotthink3282 There is a Batman villain in the comics called Doctor Phosphorus, but he's unrelated.

[@TheYoda50]

I defintely think a follow up video could be done where you tally each time a villain has shown up. I'd be really interested to see how often the joker is in batman related media

[@henrytyrrell5238]

!!!!

[@cherishporter5314]

I like that idea. but the only problem!, is that most of the reoccurrences are going to be just the joker. which might get kind of repetitive after a while.

[@henrytyrrell5238]

@@cherishporter5314 maybe instead of doing each film in turn and the villains that appear in them, you could do the villains and all the media they appear in? (So the Joker would be first, then as the list goes on it’ll be more obscure villains)? Idk!

@@cherishporter5314 it would allow for less repetitiveness and to be able to see more closely how each villain evolves between all their appearances!

@@cherishporter5314 I think sort of a shorter video where its like Joker at first with x number of times, then so and so forth. Obviously its all joker but who would be second? Thrid? and so on

I have to say every time there's a dramatic reimagining of the Rougues the art directors always cook so hard with Scarecrow specifically, I've yet to see a bad Scarecrow

[@MrMadshepherd]

As an Arkham fan I was very annoyed every time a new villain appeared on this list JUST before their Arkham debut happened meaning that Arkham’s games got little mention

[@AussieDragoon]

what about KGBeast being in Batman v Superman? He's the guy working for Luthor who Batman shoot in the Warehouse to save Martha.

[@shokkushock]

Yeah and there was a KGBeast in the Justice League show

@@drikeatmeyhe added Catwoman, Birds of Prey and Pennyworth…. I mean I think we all know that JL animated not only clears these ALL three of those shows, but it actually features a guy. I think you might know him. Cape, cowl and pointy ears. Goes by the name Batman.

[@Weezing336]

Gentlemen Ghost I'd argue is more of a Hawkman enemy, but whatever. Tweedledee and Tweedledum aren't just henchmen. I don't know how they've been used in modern comics, but they began as main antagonists and had no relation to the Mad Hatter.

[@FernandoGonzalez-hu3id]

I Mean, Hatter, Alice, the White Rabbit and the smoking catterpillar all make the cut, but the twins didn't... also Chesire did not make the cut, but I understand that one

[@GamerSlyRatchet1]

Thank you for these videos. I'm impressed by how much Batman media you include. A lot of hard work went into them and I'm always very fascinated by Batman villains, no matter how obscure. My only two nitpicks: Tweedledee and Tweedledum are usually independent criminals and have only been linked to Mad Hatter in adaptations and more recent comics like Paul Dini's Detective Comics run. The second, you missed Matatoa in Beware the Batman. He has a minor role, but he's from the comics, he's not anyone's henchman, and I think him being named and his background being discussed distinguishes him.

[@lmgentri]

Reccollect is the GOAT of media deep-dives. Heavily slept-on.

[@agedstring]

Glad to know that not only was Beware The Batman featured (of course) but that it was present in the thumbnail. I've had a fascination with obscure early-2010s action-driven serialized animated shows (Tron Uprising) and black sheep adaptation of a popular superhero franchise (Spider-Man The New Animated Series) as of late, and I was wanting to watch that show any way I could

[@DaltonSnare]

It's on Max if you have that!

[@jaydeem1264]

I love how much joy you take in doing this, it really radiates through the whole thing.

[@tartarsocks]

I prefer to think that it's not the lighting that makes you blue, you just happened to get back from a blue man group audition before filming this. Anyways, another reccollect banger, let's go

[@eggshelf]

[@tartarsocks]

@@eggshelf didn't even audition yet, just blue himslef prematurely

[@ggnicklu]

Always love your deep dive... challenges? I don't if I should call em that. Anyway, great job, mustn't be easy researching these obscure media

[@ytm23ak]

You continue to blow me away with the effort that goes into these media rabbit holes. The dedication to research then edit these behemoths is crazy.

[@BLBborn]

Pennyworth's Raven Society was originally considered to be the villain of the 1990s' Batman Returns but Penguin obviously got the roll instead. The plot was supposed to be a sort of Batman esque Maltese Falcon storyline featuring ravens instead of falcons.

[@reallygoodname]

Once again, your special ability of making me watch hours of deep dives of franchises I had no interest before is astoundishing. I am not a Batman fan, so I don't really have anything to contribute, but maybe there could have been a mention of the canceled 2022 Batgirl movie that had Firefly as a villain.

This was an amazing series! Though if you REALLY wanted to check every nook and cranny, do board / tabletop games count? Theres multiple boardgames based on batman, some of which come with figurines to represent the characters such as Batman Gotham City Chronicles from Monolith. Theres even a Batman Miniatures game from the company Knight Models where you can create a team of heroes/villains to fight with. It even included both Comic Bane and Dark Knight Rises Movie Bane as two separate characters!

The Telltale series is AMAZING. I recommend you play it, especially if you're a fan of the recent film. Since said film stea- err, 'borrows' a few plot points.
