Batman: Arkham - Ranking EVERY Villain Worst To Best

19. Professor Pyg

Oftentimes, villains have a deep and tragic motivator behind their unspeakable deeds. In other cases, they're just completely mental. Professor Pyg is the latter.

Described in-game as an obsessive perfectionist, Lazlo Valentin was a neurosurgeon-turned-ringmaster of the travelling Circus of Strange, whose schizophrenic tendencies resulted in a split personality named Professor Pyg. He began to abduct people on his travels, seeking to remove their imperfections by turning them into the mindless Dollotrons.

Batman tracks Pyg down by following a trail of strung-up bodies around the city, each discarded for being "imperfect". At the Pretty Dolls Parlour on Founders' Island, he is set upon by Pyg's Dollotrons, but manages to fight them off and incapacitate the professor with one mask-smashing punch to the face.

Aptly voiced by the wacky A-Team actor, Dwight Schultz, Professor Pyg is one of the most insane people Gotham has even seen. Let's hope the padded cell he'll spend the rest of his days in lives up to his outrageously high standards.
