7 Great Batman Characters Yet To Appear In A Movie

5. Kite-Man

Kite-Man is inherently ridiculous - there's no denying it. If you thought a grown man running around at night dressed as a bat was silly, then Charles 'Chuck' Brown's MO might take the cake.

So how is it that the character actually fits so well into the Batman mythos? For one, Bruce Wayne''s world has always been campy fun to a degree (think Adam West's 1960s Batman TV series), but by taking the character and placing him in Gotham's Gothic atmosphere, the character acts as a bit of comedic respite, thanks to current Batman writer Tom King.

It's OK for Batman to crack a smile now and then, y'know.

Who Should Play Him: It has to be someone capable of comedy and tragedy (in current continuity, Brown's son was murdered by the Riddler, which prompted him to become Kite-Man), so a comedic actor with a knack for pathos would be ideal. Ben Stiller, Steve Carell, and even Adam Sandler fit that criteria.
