And was having, as were most everyone on the show, a most Egg-selent time! The cast had way too much fun, actually getting in an egg fight with actual eggs at the end of one Egghead episode!
I used to think of Clock King as a Green Arrow villain too, but that cover they showed of Star Spangled comics was golden age, and housed a solo Robin series for years, much like Strange Tales originally housed a solo Johnny Storm series for a few years. The Star Spangled comic series actually allows (super trivia alert!) Robin to claim more Golden Age comics appearances than Batman! So if clock king was a Robin foe first, then I guess he can be considered a Batman/Robin foe before being a Green Arrow foe. But I still consider him a GA rogues member since GA has so few (Vertigo, Merlin the black archer).
@@lathanfitzpatrick3531Maybe if in the next Matt Reeves Batman movie they decide to include the villain, they could say he’s the one who has been distributing the “Drops” around Gotham City for a while but he still has a comic accurate look, a top hat with a set of dark green clothes, but he still keeps a pocket watch which he uses to keep his underlings in check. He also mentions that the drops are meant to make a personal wonderland for the people who take the drug.
Egghead’s my fave from this list. Vincent Price played him perfectly. Loved his obsession with eggs; he even had an assistant named Miss Bacon. 🍳🍳 + 🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓 😇 In one episode, he kidnapped Comissioner Gordon in exchange for a.10 cent ransom for each and every egg consumed. He and King Tut even deduced Batman’s true identity. King Tut was also fun. In one episode, when he admonishes his men: “There will be no violence! I hate violence! But I love torture! Such clean family fun!” Clock King was also seen in the 1960s Adam West Batman series, played by Walter Slezak.
you can say wathever you want about professor pyg, he maybe... unusual but he is the ONLY batman villain that actually scares me, i mean when i read the Grand Morrison comic he just straight down terrefied me (just imagine my reaction when i dicovered that he was in Arkham Knight) i mean think about, for exemple everytime i look at the joker is impossible to at least smile at him, with professor pyg there's nothing to smile about.
+Rafael Couto I must respectfully disagree. Viewed correctly, Professor Pyg is just a horribly misguided genius with a god complex, believing he is correct and everyone else is wrong. The Joker on the other hand is so unpredictably psychotic that no other villain really wants to work with him. Plus there is that scary clown face. Clowns have frightened me my whole life.
I genuinely like Professor Pyg and Clock King. The final page of Batman and Robin 1 featuring Professor Pyg placing a human mask on a person was what sold me into Batman. As for Clock King, while I feel Sean McKeever's run was littered with editorial mandates (too many evil Titans shortly after one another,) he was able to evolve a campy villain to someone more sinister.
Edwin Camacho Pyg is the greatest Batman villain to come out in the last decade. Twisted, talented, and he leaves a lasting impact wherever he goes. What he does can never be undone, yet he kills very few people.
Stan McSerr Well, yes and no. This Mad Hatter was obsessed with hats and wanted Batman's cowl above all else. Thank goodness for bat anti-radiation pills...
Okay this gets a little complicated. Fact is that there were TWO Mad Hatters. The one in the 1960's with the hat fetish was a copycat who Batman THOUGHT was the original (later finding out that the original had never actually left Arkham) so he WAS and he wasn't
Ahh its got to be out of Mr mxyzptlk but I actually like that characters since he can erase superman or anything for that matter. I think the weirdest could be The prankster or Toyman.
+Shane Pleasants wel since they in the comics litarlly say that he was inspired by Alice in wondeeland, does that really make it a rip off? Its more like he is addicted to it Making it more like a mental illness. That us what i think
king tut! I love him because you can tell how much fun the actor was having with the character. like he would just try to get a rise out of his scene partners and really ham it up. some fine quality camp right there!
Adam West told the story behind the egg fight at the end of the Egghead episode. They got hundreds of real, old rotting egge from surrounding chicken farms to use in the scene. Afterwards the clean up crew was able to get rid of eggy mess, but not the odor. The next couple of episodes were shot with rotten egg smell everywhere.
For those who don't know, Egghead was played by actor Vincent Price, before he became famous for the creepy horror lines in Michael Jackson's "Thriller" (1982)
Egghead and Condiment Man both were very weird.. but their puns were absolutely to die for. A steady diet of them are very cheesy, but make a delicious omelet for the mind. Mad Hatter, though.. totally weird in the psychotic way.
Juan Carlos Cavero Gamarra , the first is a good idea.. we could dish it out and not have our brains scrambled while we are being saucy. I relish the idea, and it would go over easy, I believe. I don't think nap time is a good idea, as the days of my life flow too fast, and I also spread too thin out on the surface to lay down on the job.
What some people don't remember is that Condiment King was actually created by the Joker when he decided to hypnotize three random comedians. Why they decided to make him a recurring villain I'll never know.
This is a pretty good list, although you should've mentioned that Clock King (who by the way also appears in "Arrow") in "Batman: The Animated Series" only gained control over time in his second appearance by stealing a time manipulation invention from the scientist who invented it, and Condiment Man wasn't actually a criminal but a normal comedian brainwashed by Joker.
3:00 it was in The Batman that he could control time. In Batman TAS he could just time things out very well, even Batman himself. Surprised he's on here, I really only think of the TAS version and that one locked Batman in an air tight safe to suffocate, so yeah more terrifying than wired for me, time puns and all.
Daniel Vaughan Oh, right! I forgot about that trap. That was brilliant. Sealed in a time release vault with a device that sucked the air out of the room. The device was wired to explode if tampered with. That was one of his closest calls in that show. Thank god Clock King used a cassette tape...
Other Honorable mentions include; -Zebra Man -Kite Man -Orca -Eraser -Captain Boomerang -Mine -Killer Moth -March Harriett -Zodiac Master -Cat Man -Gentlemen Ghost Thank you Lego Batman movie for reminding me of them.
Star Child He loved it. So much so that he kept throwing eggs at Adam West and Burt Ward after the director said cut. When told he should stop, he replied, "With a full arsenal? Not a chance!"
Batman The Brave and the Bold is one of the most enjoyable “modern” cartoons Massively underrated Clock King can be a great villain if written seriously and Pyg is horrifying
So Roddy McDowell voiced the Mad Hatter in the cartoon? He was the Book Worm in the 60s TV show! And who didn't love Victor Buono's King Tut! Abuhrahbusimbutoo!!
Mad Hatter is legit cool but you left out Eraser, Kite-Man, King of Cats, and the friggin' Penny Plunderer? WTF?! Flamingo frustrates me since I absolutely love his look but his origin just doesn't work.
Clock King is more of a Green Arrow villain, really. Also, Condiment King (along with Pack Rat and Mighty Mom) were intended to be jokes. In BTAS they were comedians that the Joker hypnotized into thinking they were costumed criminals.
Both Polka-Dot Man and Condiment King popped up in the comic miniseries "Final Crisis: Run," in which General Immortus assembled a team of loser villains into a somewhat more impressive force. Things fell apart however, and the Human Flame (a Z-list Martian Manhunter enemy) wound up choking CK to death on his own condiments, while PDM got ironically splattered by an airborne manhole cover.
Humpty Dumpty could've been on this list. Worst part of it is that he's not a villain in his own mind and perhaps the most tragic of characters in his own right. I'd also put out, "The General" who was an 8-year-old kid who managed to unite and control the gangs of Gotham.
Egghead, King Tut, Batmite, Clock King, and Calendar Man are my Favorite Weird Batman Villains. But Egghead is on the Top of my Favorites List. He’s so awesome also he’s played by Vincent Price. Egghead is too cool and very Egg-quisite.
Yes, the great Vincent Price. Actually, in 60s Batman was very common to have stars from that time as guests or villains, Mr. Price was one of them, and Egghead was brilliant.
Radu Dracula Well, there is an Egghead in Marvel, but he isn't egg themed or campy. He's a black hearted bastard with an intense hatred for Henry Pym. He just happens to have a very egg shaped head.
motor4X4kombat MAN IF Eggman was voiced by Vincent PRICE IN SONIC CD AS HIS FIRST AND ONLY ROLE IN A VIDEO GAME BEFORE HIS DEATH ON OCTOBER 2666th 1993!!!!!!! (everybody laughing while the Seinfeld theme song plays.)
Wasn't Calander Man updated recently with actual powers? The Batman the Long Halloween awkwardly has Holiday doing the same thing (with Calander Man knowing who he is).
Special mention should have been given to Calendar Man's Rule 63 version, Calendar Girl, who, though equally ridiculous as a villain, was much more tragic as a character.
what about the Penny Plunderer. it's even weirder because they took him trying to crush batman with a giant penny and gave it to two-face after they wiped him from continuity
