8 Villains That Need To Appear In Batfleck's Arkham Asylum Movie

6. Professor Pyg

Batman Villains
DC Comics

Created by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, Professor Pyg is a relatively new addition to the Batman mythos but boy did he leave a strong first impression, leading to a recent role in the Batman: Arkham Knight video game.

Pyg can provide a true body horror element that will shock viewers to their core. A murderous schizophrenic, Pyg is obsessed with 'perfecting' the human body by any means necessary. Unfortunately for his victims, any means necessary includes gender realignment, lobotomization , hammers and ice picks. A man not afraid to use power drills on his victims in order to convert them into mindless slaves, Pyg is nearly successful at converting Robin into one of his prized Dollotrons before Batman is able to save the day.

When Grant Morrison refers to villain as "one of the weirdest, most insane characters that's ever been in Batman.... genuinely disturbed and disconnected.", you know he'll bring something to the big screen that Batman has never had to contend with before. High praise coming from the creator of Arkham Asylum.

The pig mask and bloodied surgical gown alone make for nightmarish viewing. Through the prism of Affleck's visual approach, Pyg could truly provide a grotesque challenge for the Dark Knight to overcome.

Oh and he currently resides in Arkham Asylum. Handy that.
