Last time we discussed The Top 5 Worst Batman Villains Here’s what some of you had to say:

Chonn Xena: “I relish the opportunity to point out that you forgot Condiment King. This article doesn’t cut the mustard. The writer is going to have to ketchup.”

Spacecowboy: “Kinda surprised to see Penguin on the honorable mention.”

Smart Mark: “Aw poor Anarky. I thought he was cool. His limited series was fun, where he had a secret base under the Washington monument and he found out Joker might be his dad, even though it made no chronological sense…”

Zeke the Plumber: “Film Freak is pretty lame. He’s just a guy with above average intelligence who’s obsessed with movies.”

D2Kvirus: “The Schumacher springs to mind…”

James Fabiano: “Killer Moth was redeemed when he was Kitten’s father in Teen Titans. Also led to the coming of…SILKIE!”

R. Dalziel: “This list begins and ends with Maxie Zeus.”

Sting Rey: “calandar man, technically every day has some sort of historical significance.”

Mojotheclown: “Man-Bat for me.”

El Atomico: “just my opinion, but I thought most Batman villains were lame, even the ‘big’ ones like Penguin and The Riddler, they seemed more like Dick Tracy villains. I hated the Joker (go-away heat) until Killing Joke”

SaintOrleans: “Cornelius Stirk
Ratcatcher
Calendar Man: Yes I’ve read “The Long Halloween”. He didn’t drive that plot either.”

duh: “Ten eyed man?”

Great stuff and thank you to everyone who commented last week! Too many great comments to list so go and check it out! This week we discuss…
