| Topic | Which supervillain's backstory is the most tragic? |
| spanky1 07/18/18 11:09:58 AM #24: | A lot of Batman villains are very sympathetic. I can't remember all the names so bear with me. Also I'm going by the cartoon, since that's canon. You got Mr. Freeze trying to save his wife. You've got that woman who is stuck in a little girl's body. That'd piss anyone off. You have the puppet dude, split personality, his real self is a broken terrified man, but he can accomplish things through his puppet. You've got Croc, a circus sideshow. You've got that one masked lady who thinks she's hideous but is actually gorgeous, clearly severe psychological problems and obsession with social pressure from society on beauty. You've got Clayface, a man who got by on his looks disfigured in an accident and went to desperate measures to get his face back. You've got Two-Face, a man with a split personality and severe anger problems, who gets severally disfigured by acid. You really feel for all these bad guys. I believe Batman is at his best when, at the end of the story, when the threats are overcome and the danger has passed, Batman talks the villain down, and they break, and realize how messed up they are. Batman is at his best when he wants to help them. Sadly, they never portray this Batman in the movies very well. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
