10 Video Game Bosses Who Can't Do Anything Right

6. Electrocutioner - Batman: Arkham Origins

This one’s pretty similar to our Mysterio entry in Spider-Man 2. In Arkham Origins, Black Mask hires a series of assassins to hunt down Batman and put an end to him. The first of these is encountered on Penguin’s ship. After fighting your way inside and making your way through the bowels of the ship, Batman comes to a large arena filled with numerous Penguin goons.

Enter the hilariously named Electrocutioner; a man with powerful electrified gloves who, like many villains on this list, talks a big game that he can't back up. He says he will kill Batman, then revive him by jumpstarting his heart, purely so he can kill him again. There’s just one problem, Batman’s suit is pretty much shock proof. The Electrocutioner tries to electrocute him and Batman doesn’t even flinch. One quick flying kick to the face and it’s night night Mr Cutioner.

Unfortunately for ol’ sparky, his night only gets worse from here. When Black Mask is revealed to have actually been The Joker all along, he isn’t very impressed with Electrocutioner's poor performance and proceeds to shove him from a very high window. Electrocutioner plummets to his untimely death where one final humiliation awaits him, as Batman cheekily nabs off with his electric gauntlets.
