Batman By The Numbers: Bat Villains Who Need Their Own Movie, Ranked

There’s arguably no superhero in existence that has been
reimagined, redefined, or reinterpreted more than Batman. 
No matter how many times he’s been rebooted, audiences are always
willing to come back to Gotham City’s greatest defender. 
With so much Bat content out there, there’s plenty to dissect,
analyze, and of course, rank!  This podcast is dedicated to
a surgical evaluation of Batman’s history, with a focus on
ranking several topics in the world of Batman, among other
classic Bat themes and characters.


Join hosts Daniel Cohen, Pop Break’s former
Film Editor, and Kris Ingersoll, co-host of the Media/Lit
podcast, as they bring on several guests every month to
share their passion for the one and only Dark Knight. 
From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left
unturned.  Bottom-line: If you’re a Batman fan, this is
required listening.


We all know Batman has a deep roster of villains.  In fact,
he has such a deep roster, that many of them haven’t gotten the
call yet to the big screen.  Out of all the villains who
have yet to make their live action film debut, who do we want to
see most make the leap?


That’s what we’re here to determine, as we rank the villains we
want to see most in a live action movie who have yet to
appear.  It’s time to celebrate the bench players of the
Batman rogues gallery; Mad Hatter.  Clayface.  Calendar
Man.  Firefly.  And plenty more, as Daniel and Kris are
joined by Podcasting Director of the Pop Break, Alex Marcus, and
returning guest, Perry Constantine of the Superhero
Cinephiles Podcast.


This is a wild countdown as rankings were all over the map for
this one.  The crew discuss each villain’s potential in a
Matt Reeves movie, as well as in the new James Gunn universe,
with plenty of pitches and theories to go around. 


Also, as an added bonus, each crew member did a bit of fan
casting, as for the ten names we ranked, everyone assigned their
dream casting choice for each villain role.  Were there any
crossovers?  You’ll have to listen to find out.


If you’ve been craving an episode about underrated Batman
villains, this is your dream episode.
