10 Comic Book Movie Henchmen Who Deserve Way More Praise

10. Barsad - The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

If you're going to willingly sit in crashing planes, or quietly accept that your leader is going to kill you, you have to be a truly die-hard devotee to a cause.

First of all, we only know this guy's name because of his IMDB credit. If we said this guys name was Captain Leather-Daddy Babyface you'd have no way of arguing that it wasn't. But thanks to Josh Stewart's surprisingly recognisable face, we can ID this man and salute a hero credited only as "Barsad".

In the opening scene with the airplane, Barsad leads the dummy transfer that gets Bane on the CIA plane in the first place. When Bane fights Batman in the sewers of Gotham, he silently cheers for his boss' strength as he beats and breaks an adult man in a black Halloween costume. He even becomes the voice of the siege of Gotham when negotiating with the military.

All of these attributes make up a character who should have had an ending resolution. Instead, we aren't even sure if he dies during the climactic events at the end of TDKR. Fingers crossed he didn't...

God bless you Barsad. The movie might have forgotten about you, but we haven't.
