    I don't understand your problem with this

    he was jumped in the Batcave, pumped full of heroin, and dumped in an alley

    what else would you expect him to do in that situation

    Seems to be exactly what a supervillain would do.

    But hey if you wanna talk about a definitive run for a street level hero with a tortured past I just ordered all 3 ultimate collects of the Bendis/Maleev Daredevil, which I read in singles but now I can finally put on my bookshelf.

    I'm gonna go out and a limb and say that Dr. Hurt was a bit lame.

    He was defeated by a banana peel.

    I remember when everyone thought he was The Devil and I was really hoping he wasn't because that would have been so ridiculous.


    And then the actual reveal was like 20x even more ridiculous.

    I was hoping the thread would be more about the 1960s Batman TV series, currently airing 1-2 times every night on The Hub. It had a lot more well-known guest stars than I originally thought it did. Last night I was watching an episode and the guest villain looked familiar. I'm thinking, "I know that guy. Who's that guy?" and then the second episode of the two-parter rolled credits and it turns out it was Art Carney. They also had episodes with Vincent Price, Milton Berle, a brief cameo by Jerry Lewis, and several other names where I had no idea they appeared in a Batman episode.

    I saw the 1966 Batman movie a week or so ago.

    It was glorious.

    "Not in this dimension."

    Morrison writes the best villain dialogue, and Dr. Hurt is him just turning all the valves to eleven. He's so cartoonishly evil he becomes intimidating.

    Batman running along the pier with that bomb over his head is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

    yes but he is also Bruce Wayne's father and possibly also The Devil

    I know this is in a comic involving a man dressed as a giant bat, but

    that whole thing is just waaaaaay too ridiculous

    I'm talking about Batman R.I.P.

    the issue where he actually died

    and none of those issues are resolved

    the one where at the end you're thinking

    "ok, according to this, Batman died in a helicopter crash, caused by doctor hurt, who seems to be Bruce Wayne's father, and also maybe the Devil"

    everything is resolved in literally real life years later

    but that issue is basically a giant clusterfuck

    really because at the end I was thinking "that dude is totally insane and can't be trusted to tell the truth about anything, who knows who he really is", and I was right

    plus Batman didn't die in that crash, you should read the follow-up trade Time and the Batman

    Yeah that's right. I remember taskmaster got pretty far, or his defenders were just really vocal.

    Hmmm

    I guess Loki is a good enough choice

    And while I love Taskmaster (and I do) he really is a villain for guys like Cap and Wolverine, he's not a Doom or a Loki or a Magneto, those guys are the real heavyweight villains.

    Actually thinking about it I would have gone for Thanos but whatever.
