10 Crazy Villains The DC Cinematic Universe Will Never Admit Exist
3. Batzarro
Most comic book fans, especially fans of Superman, will have heard of Bizarro, but not many have heard of Batzarro, and there's a reason for that. Fans who saw him in the comics are probably still shoving soap in their eyes, trying to wash out the terrible disease that undoubtedly shifted from the pages. A Bizarro version of Batman first appeared in 1966, but Batzarro more specifically debuted in 2002. He's the antithesis of Batman in every way, wearing an upside down bat symbol on his chest, calling himself the world's worst detective, and often repeating thoughts already shown in his thought bubbles on previous comic panels. Superman is allowed to have some slightly ridiculous villains, since he was in many ways the first superhero, so a lot of his early villains were kind of weird, because writers were still exploring the genre. But introducing Batzarro in 2002 was one of the greatest mistakes DC writers have ever made. Batzarro would fit in better in a CollegeHumor skit than a Batman comic. It's enough to make even the greatest Batman enthusiast embarrassed to admit they ever read Batman at all.
I'm an entertainment writer, as well as a fantasy, science fiction, and dystopia author. I began writing my first book, a medieval fantasy novel, when I was 12 years old. While I never published that work, it was instrumental in jump-starting my writing career, as I branched out into other stories and worlds, including space opera and dystopia. My first published work, Finding Sage, was completed and released in 2014. While working on Finding Sage, I began to expand my writing skills into other areas, picking up entertainment writing at first as a hobby, and then as a more serious undertaking. I now write for four websites and blogs, and continue working on writing more books.
