While the DC Universe has long been accessible to both young, and adult fans, their are aspects of mythology which are darker than others, especially in the brutal limits of Gotham City, where Batman fights to protect the citizens from some of the most deranged villains in the entire DC landscape. While it us up for endless debate as to who the most twisted of their rogues are, a top contender for "Most Evil Man in Gotham' is Victor Zsasz.

A former wealthy business owner, driven to insanity by the loss of his parents and the disintegration of his business, Zsasz believes that life is meaningless, and that people need to be freed from the burden of being alive. A cold-blooded killer, who slaughters his victims with a knife, before scarring a tally mark into his own skin, Zsasz is unique in his actions, as he is a completely erratic and unpredictable murderer. 

With the DC Extended Universe looking to have a more gritty, realistic take on some of it's most memorable characters, Victor Zsasz would be a perfect fit for this new universe, perhaps as part of the upcoming standalone 'Batman' film. While he may not have any super-powers, Zsasz would be great reminder that, for all his skills, Batman is still just a man, as he fights to take down a fellow mortal who has no abilities, except a desire to take the lives of others. In past adaptations, the violence committed by Batman's rogues has been largely blood-less and left to the imagination, but the new DC Extended Universe could allow for Victor Zsasz to be the most violent villain Batman has ever faced on screen, giving fans a look at the real levels of brutality that often exist in Gotham City,
