I don't really have any actual exposure to the character so don't have much of a direct opinion on if I want to actually see it but I do wonder when we're going to see adaptations start bringing Punchline into things. Seems like a character DC's gotten really big into pushing and her role as a Harley replacement does feel pretty natural since Harley's kind of outgrown that by now. I think Punchline's off to a pretty strong start. What helps is that she isn't another Harley Quinn (in that she was already a murderous sociopath before becoming his partner) and was using Joker as much as he used her. And now she's leading the Royal Flush Gang. |

Yes. As long as we're dedicated to falling on the blade of endless grimdark, I want someone to take a shot at modernizing him. Or, bar that, have his goofy as struggle to adapt to the modern tone of Gotham. |

Calendar Man has been in the Arkham Games as an Easter egg but would like to either see a battle in a future game or Main boss on a movie

Or if you do a Mad Hatter add TweedleDee and TweedleDum into it too

Granted, The Batman wears its "Long Halloween" inspiration on its sleeve, but Calendar Man would work brilliantly in that sort of detective-style Batman movie.

Yeah, I was going to suggest someone like Calendar Man or Victor Zsasz as a movie villain. They'd be great for a live action Batman that is leaning more into his detective side.

Give me Hush in a f***ing movie already. Second dude that comes to mind is Clayface. Hush got the animated film/films(wasn't it two films). No idea if he has appeared after that. Live action.... gimmie Egghead or King Tut. Hush was one animated movie, though the focus was more on whether or not Batman and Catwoman could trust each other/fall in love. Also they decided to change the story so Hush was just The Riddler rather than a separate character. |

Hush was also in the Batwoman show, but he was kind of a goober.

I know he often appears as more of a minor villain in a lot of shows and games, but I feel like the Mad Hatter has a lot more legs as a villain than he gets, especially if you include the Wonderland Gang as possible henchmen. I remember people wanted him in the Nolan-verse as a pedophile lol Gotham used him really well, to be fair. I took him far more seriously as a lead villain than Fish Mooney or Hugo Strange, for sure. |

Read and didn't care for the comic. |

The Fox series of Gotham was good for this because the casting allowed these minor villains to steal the show. The guy who played the Mad Hatter was very Russell Brand inspired and Victor Zsasz being played by NoHo Hank from Barry was smashing. The whole Butch to Solomon Grundy arc was good too.

Prometheus needs more play not that weird arrow version Kind of a problem I have with Prometheus is that I feel like his entire premise is just trying way too hard to be Opposite Batman. I feel like that dynamic works better when it's more subtle like with Black Mask. |

A lot of his lower tier characters I found aren't entirely great for Cinematic purposes. They can work for a TV Show but I'm not sure they'd work for a full picture.
That said I'd love to get an actual Riddler movie... I like Forever but Jim was full on 1966 Batman mode... and I didn't really like his portrayal in The Batman at all... and basing him off the Zodiac Killer is just a weird as f*** way to go with it...
Riddler is a man that obsessively needs to prove he's the smartest guy in the room.. he's not a serial killer and honestly most of the time he's just a thief... cause he's trying to get Batman's attention.
Other than him... who they've had two attempts at...
Hatter could be fun, An early movie where he's focused on the Gangs with Black Mask...
or a big detective story where the villain eventually turns out to be Clayface.

Been wanting a Mad Hatter centered movie for years Do you realize how creepy you can make this man with the Alice stuff plus him having ways of f***ing with your head. He would be despicable |
