Yeah. He was supposed to be portrayed by Clint Eastwood in the Adam West series. Man that would've been something to see. But that was shot down because it didn't fit the mood of the show or the audience. He's just such a great villain though. The way he was done in Animated Series was just great. Especially when he developed a third personality that was out to kill all criminals, even himself.

I think Galactus would work rather well in a movie with a stretching man, a walking rock, an invisible woman, and burning guy. Oh yes and some flying silver dude on a surfboard. They've already crossed the line. They really can't hurt themselves with some giant purple hatted guy. Now that guy's iconic.

Back to Batman, as for D grade villains, if they break out King Tut, I think I might be moderately pissed. What a lame villain, it would be almost as lame as putting in Calendar Man.

I would love to see Poison Ivy use her skills to age herself. Being only a teenager has actually made it impossible to get across one of her most powerful weapons: seduction. She's not just someone with plant powers. If you want that you should bring in the Floronic Man.

I've always liked the tortured nature of Man-Bat. And seeing as there is only two sympathetic villains on the entire program, and one of those has taken himself out of the running, Langstrom not wanting to be a villain would fit in well to fill that void. He doesn't have to be full on goody-goody. Even AS Langstrom had that pesky little problem of part of his personality actually being Man-Bat and wanting to set its physical form free once more.

I still think Nicholson's Joker was lacking something. He just didn't feel like Joker to me. Maybe because he wasn't that funny, and he never tried to be funny either. Joker to me is that villain who acts like a carnival clown goes to a grade school festival and then gasses the crowd while tying a balloon elephant. And I just didn't feel that there.
