10 Video Game Bosses Who It Would Suck To Work For

There can't really be a worse person to work under than the legendary Clown Prince of Crime, can there? He is an utter legend when it comes to villainy, favouring causing utter chaos over practically anything else. The Caped Crusader's archvillain delights in torturing and driving Batman to his absolute wits end, using any means necessary.

Summarising his laundry list of crimes is almost impossible, but the Arkhamverse Joker works his way into every aspect of the plot, even after his death. He is undeniably a homicidal maniac, and that's sort of a textbook reason to not want to work for someone. Despite this unhinged state, he's also a viciously calculating strategist to boot, managing to overthrow Black Mask and take over his criminal organisation single-handedly, whip up a host of villains in a feeding frenzy for Batman and still be the most unpredictable person in the room.

Working for The Joker would suck because you'd be under threat of a textbook violent outburst, but you might be on the receiving end of Bruce Wayne's ever-expanding arsenal of (definitely not lethal) gadgets and gizmos. That fluid beat-em-up combat can't be very fun when you're on the receiving end of a 30-hit combo, can it?
