Gotham: 10 Villains That Should Appear In Season 4
5. Professor Pyg
DC Comics.
By far the creepiest villain to have been added to Batman's rogues gallery in DC's modern era, Pyg (Lazlo Valentine) is a psychotic killer obsessed with zombifying people. He's also, wouldn't you know it, due an appearance in Gotham's next season. Woo.
Pyg's the type of villain that manages to get underneath everyone's skin, and the fact that Gotham is looking to bring the character to the small screen shows that, much like with Scarecrow, they're looking to up the series' horror elements. Seriously, this is a character that you just don't make fun of - he's that sinister.
While we're yet to hear anything on the casting side of things just yet, it's likely that Pyg will be making an appearance in the second half of the coming season. At least audiences will have ample prep-time to deal with whatever Lazlo will be throwing at them?
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.
