Gotham: 10 Things You Need To Know About Professor Pyg
4. He Doesn't Get Along With Other Bat-Villains
DC Comics
Here's another thing about Pyg: he's never been a team player.
This can probably be owed to the fact that, as a relatively new addition to the Bat-canon, he's automatically placed against the old-guard of DC's foes.
Gotham's done well to show the many, many internal divisions that plague the city's underworld, but with the 'Rise of the Villains' now well established, it'll be interesting to see how the city deals with this new wave of gimmick-oriented evil doers.
In the New 52, Pyg crossed with both Bane and Scarecrow in his attempts to establish control over Gotham City. Expect to see similar sparks fly if he proves to be more than a one-and-done character.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
