Zsasz has always creeped me out the most because he is the only villain that I thought could actually exist.
***** Most Batman villains are plausible except Bane, Killer Croc, Solomon Grundy, Clayface, Poison Ivy, and Mr. Freeze.
The rest are just crime bosses and serial killers.
Well, bane could exist. Like in the Dark Kinght Rises, he wasnt using venom he was just numbing any pain that came to him so he couldn't be hurt. But he is the least realistic of the realistics
Even Catwoman in Arkham City didn't want to mess with Zsasz
***** Joker could exist my friend.....
Brandon Tjon Eh, anymore, since he become a Devil :V
Such an underrated villain.
Good thing he will be in Birds of Prey
@@SM-rn8sq dude you reply to his comment after 3 years, what an actual fuck, are you maybe related to my father going in store before 2 years and never comming back?
Quartz omg calm down
@@quartz6286 stfu
@@quartz6286 What's wrong with that? And you technically just did too
"Everyone out....PLEASE!" Ha.
lol
screenwriterjohn at least he said please
Zsasz is a badass
The actor who play Zasaz in Gotham fits so much O_O
He also appeared on the Flash one time. He played the Mist.
***** I don't think that he does. He looks like a kid. Also it's Zsasz
***** Maybe because he works for Carmine Falcone, who ordered him to use a gun (Falcone prefer clean hits it seems). I think if Zsasz would be allowed to do what he want to do (He was defiant when Falcone ordered him to stand down and let Bullock and Gordon, leave his house alive). But it would be more fun if he used knives or did some kills outside the mob with a completely different MO (like using knives), behind Falcone's back... (Or he might become an accomplice to Penguin, who is currently on the rise and already has shown to be very cunning and can be very violent from time to time.)
gokulauri bcuz at this time he is young
***** he uses guns because this is a origin story, he has not discovered the pleausre of could metal in hot human flesh ( yet )
Those telephone missions always creeped me the fuck out.
I really hated answering those phones as well
I thought they were annoying
+Ty_Dow Ring Ring...
those telephone missions remind me of the movie phone booth
+Garrett Knisley Hello there want to play a game? "Ring Ring Ring" better answer that phone.
Joker was right, it only takes one bad day
This dude just snapped. I read that that out of all the villains he fought even the The Joker, Batman hate Zsasz the most due to his crimes.
I like the quote but the whole point of its source was that the joker was wrong.
I believed not completely wrong.
I find the guy who played V.Z. in the show Gotham to be very fascinating... he must of had hell of fun getting into that character mind-set.
And then the punisher steals that line
The Gotham representation of Zsasz is easily the best one ever. The hitman thing is just amazing.
I reckon as the seasons go on Zsasz will give up being a hitman with no one to employ him and become the evil serial killer he is in the comics and Arkham games.
Xehanort10
That sounds fair.But we already saw him working under Penguin so maybe they will do him with another character or different story.Problem is the actor also act as THE MIST in CW FLASH.....and he seems like a part timer.
and just as well, he could be one of the few guest characters to appear during season 6 of Teen Titans
yes definitely!!
LordSylvestrion yeah I like that he isn't a serial killer
"The darker side of Batman's world."
There was a bright side?
Rob Stefani kinda
60's Batman, Condiment King, Silver Age, Robin, Lego Batman, Batman Cartoons, etc
DarkER.
good point
Seeing as Batman is friends with a literal alien, I'd say his bright side comes from other heroes
The reason why Zsasz is the most horrific Batman villain is because he is actually the most realistic one.
There is nothing entertaining, charismatic, funny, larger than life or likeable about Zsasz.
There are a lot of people lile Zsasz in this world...
Alyourpal so what? :P
Owari Dragon Actually, being charismatic and being evil is not some kind of phenomenon, see most dictators and cult leaders.
Take a good look into the eyes of a monster! A deeply disturbed killer; a man responsible for the murder and subsequent mutilation of over 100 men, women, and children! You're looking at... Zsasz!
Owari Dragon well in Gotham he is very entertaining, charismatic, funny, and likeabke. But I get your point
A villain who's realistic can be the most scary.
That's why I think characters Victor Zsasz and Heath Ledger's version of Joker are so scary.
An insane killer who came from a happy family; kills to give his life meaning; and thinks he's helping people by killing them.
An insane Anarchist who wants to watch the world burn for his own entertainment; takes control by striking fear into everyone's heart; and wants to prove everyone is just as insane as he is.
"Victor's ass"
I'm laughing so hard while listening to him saying it
Wolvakiin glad I wasn't the only one hearing that hahahaha
If Joker or someone really wanted to Mess up Zsasz and All of Gotham... they would drug him, give him surgery to remove all his marks. So when he wakes up they can say "Sorry buddy all gone, I guess you got to start over from scratch".
"Give him surgery to remove all the marks" yeh, that ain't happening bro
Then he'll just kill the doctors
I actually think Penguin's the scariest Batman villain. Why? Because unlike other classic villains like The Joker, Riddler, and Zsasz, Penguin's perfectly sane. While other villains kill and torture because they have a compulsion to do so, Penguin's sole motivation to do so is because he watching other people suffer.
Sorry, did you call him sane? You realize you said he enjoys watching people suffer, right? No sane person does that. He also (if I'm remembering correctly) lives with penguins, and uses umbrellas as his main weapons. Not exactly normal.
DannyMorrs
He still chooses the inflict pain though. It's not like Zsasz here who has a compulsion he can't control
TheMightyWill I'd say both are insane, but in different ways. Zsasz kills because of his supposed "mission" in life, while Cobblepot kills due to enjoyment. No "perfectly sane" person does that, as normal people usually don't like giving or receiving pain (BDSM is up to your opinion). Choosing to inflict the pain might even make the Penguin more insane than if he couldn't control it, as he has no motive: he simply loves death and pain.
I do agree with you, though, that Cobblepot is one of the few Batman villains who could still seem normal to society. He could blend in until he wants to be seen, and then show how sadistic he is.
DannyMorrs Not being normal doesn't mean your insane. So what he enjoys the company of penguins. Lots of people have strange and exotic pets. He uses umbrellas as weapons. So do the Kingsman agents. As for enjoying watching people suffer, have you ever watched a fail video? Have you ever laughed when a guy falls on his butt or hits his groin? Penguin just takes it to a MUCH higher level. He's sane. Just evil.
k9commander
I agree with all this. And I'd also like to add that Zsasz genuinely believes he's doing the right thing, he actually thinks killing people is helping them. The Penguin knows full well just how fucked up his actions are.
"I'm going to take my time Batman! After all... You took yours!"
Time out....and love this one of his speech in the game over 🙂.
I have a game,just for you
He's running out of room......
rob theberge he'd probably kill himself or just cut over old tally's if he ever ran out of room on his body
Wardog261291 Funnily enough, in a story he ran out of room, so he tried carving the mark in his dick.
Lex Dragon .......thanks, i just doubled over at the thought of that
***** well yeah but he'll eventually use that
***** I've seen him with marks in his head before. That's why he shaved it in the first place right?
Victor Zsasz was freaking scary in Batman Arkham games and his voice is so evil and Danny Jacobs captures Zsasz perfectly with the voice in the games . I really hope he appears in Arkham Knight too ! :)
He is one the scariest villains ever .
I absolutely love Anthony Carrigan as Zsasz! He brought a twist to the character, he brought some humor but he still kept that same mentality that makes Victor Zsasz as iconic and creepy as all batman fans know him as
I've been a long time fan of Zsasz and he's always been one of the scariest villains to me. He frightens me because he's the most realistic of all of Batman's rogues.
Though I realize *the MAIN reason* they don't permanently kill off villains in comics is because *they're popular* and it be too much of a hassle to make a new villain every month. Zsasz is one of those sick fucks who just needs to be put down permanently. sometimes its necessary to kill. Someone who refuses to kill another may appear to be morally righteous, but they’re really just selfish. They are unwilling to set aside their conscience, beliefs, and sense of self-righteousness to save innumerable people’s lives. Their own guilt and feelings are prioritized over others safety. killing may be wrong morally, but in reality, sometimes morals and guilt need to be set aside for the sake of others. I know its taboo to bring up anime here but Ya know Future Trunks from DBZ was kind, humble, helpful but easily the most lethal killer in that series if you threatened innocnet people haha Wolverine is the type of hero who will do it then be like “Yea okay slap me on the wrist….I’m not sorry though bub”. Ehh it was just something I was thinking since I just watched them. Anti-heroes For Life Lol
JaxBlade FUCKIN AGREED
How many people can you kill before your view of the world is prefect? None of us are gods so we shouldn't be killing anyone. That's what prison is for, to punish people for wrong doing. Besides death is supposed to the a rest of eternal peace. Why give peace to the wicked when you can make them suffer for the rest of their lives.
In the words of rorschack men go to prison. Dogs get put down.
You can't always just lock them up . Zsasz and Joker escape on a regular basis to kill again.
Ill put it to ya like this. Lets say you have an innocent lil daughter who one day gets abducted raped cut up and the person who did it gleefully did it. and he gets caught and he's locked away but he escapes and does it again. and ya lock him up once more and he escapes once again yadda yadda you see where Im going. All those innocent lives couldve been saved if someone just took him out. Again like I said why I like Wolverine, Punisher, and Future Trunks lol they don't play that shit they will end you and have a BBQ afterwards. If you're gonna try and say that whole judge jury executioner thing and no right to, many people have said this before and no offense I agree to disagree and will not be swayed. Anyways these comic villains are only still around cause they're Popular that is legit the main reason.
It's guys like this make me wonder: Is the Death Penatly Illiegal in Gotham? Because if it where up to me I would have put this guy down a long time ago. He's beyond help.
Jaeger Newman thing is, you kill one and two more pop up. Gotham is a truly wretched city and if the foes aren't made there, they want to try their chance at killing the bat.
All the more reasons to put guys like these down. Better to deal with stupid rookie criminals rather than criminals like Zsasz or the Joker. Besides, they're just going to break out of prison anyway.
Jaeger Newman The whole point of Batman's rogue gallery is the majority of them are criminally insane, which is why nearly every Batman villain has been to or is in Arkham Asylum. If someone is proven insane, you legally can't execute them. I think Joker actually has been on death row after it was determined he was beyond psychiatric help, but managed to escape. I've actually seen a few villains on death row after leaving the asylum, like Killer Croc, but as you could imagine, they escape.
Makes me wish the Punisher operated in Gotham, he'd eat guys like Zsasz from dinner.
Come to think of it, all member of the Suicide Squad are death row inmates.
[edit] Wait, i take that back, only some of them are death row, others have life sentences.
here's an idea for 2 comic top 10's
top 10 worst comic stories from Marvel
top 10 worst comic stories from DC
***** If we're talking anything I've heard of released by each company?
I can at least give you Marvel:
10. Ravage 2099 (From the already weak first issue that is so lazy that the protagonist's last name is ACTUALLY Ravage to the bizarre initial costume to the ultimate turn of the character becoming Eco-Wolverine, this thing was a mess.)
9. US-1 (And now for something completely different, we have this goofy slot car tie-in work. How goofy, you may be asking? The series ends with him as a space trucker goofy. And no, not like Alien, I mean HIS SEMI-TRUCK CAN GO INTO SPACE.)
8. Cable: Blood and Metal. (Cable is a colossal jerk, the timeline shenanigans are nonsense and the art is an early 90s Mess straight from Rob Liefeld's pen.)
7. The Adventures of the Kool-Aid Man (It's a comic about the Kool-Aid Man where the first issue features a kid kissing him in congratulations and his villains being dumb jerk predecessors of the Angry Sun.)
6. Ultimatum (Couldn't let this kill crazy story off completely if we're strictly talking about Marvel here. It's not AS bad as some want you to think it is, but it's still pretty darn bad.)
5. Secret Defenders #9-10 (Yeah, to anyone who thinks Rob Liefeld is the absolute worst comic art gets, I'd dare them to look at any of this art and still say that.)
4. Maximum Clonage (Really, what position you give One More Day and what position you give this depends on whether hard to repair or ignore writing (One More Day) or terrible artwork (this) is your bigger sticking point. Me, I lean on the writing that's hard to repair or ignore.)
3. One More Day (Spider-Man, who if Marvel wanted him to be good, would learn some G-D RESPONSIBILITY, makes a DEAL WITH A DEMON selling his marriage to keep an eighty-something-year-old who TOLD HIM TO LET HER PASS alive. Wow. DANNY FENTON would tell you to be more of a man.)
2. Avengers #200 (The story comes and goes and what's happened? Well, it's been revealed just how okay your editorial staff might be with rape, you've almost ruined your most important superheroine who's not tied to the X-Men AND you've wasted our time with a boring double length story that is terrible as a milestone.)
1. Marville. (Could it be anything else? Every issue goes lower and lower into the depths of Bill Jemas' twisted brain and, though judging individual issues nothing is worse than Avengers #200, it's FAR WORSE as a collective.)
Volvagia1927 decent list though i wouldn't put Kool-Aid man on there and would of put Sin's Past on there since it did single handily ruin the character of Gwen Stacy and would of just put the Clone Saga as a whole instead of just Maximum Clonaga, and maybe swap either 10, 9, 8, or 7 for Ultimate's 3.
At #2 are you talking about Black Widow?
TheMasterQuests no Ms.Marvel
*****
What'd they do to ms Marvel exactly?
I always felt that Zsasz was a reminder to Batman of what he could have become. Of what he might be. A kinda of way for Batman to have to study himself and question his own life and crusade. What would have ahppened if Batman had fallen fully into the darkness after his parents died? What would have happen if Batman did again?
Or he just a creepy bald guy.
You're right. Most if (if not all) of Batman's does are meant to personify an aspect of his personality.
***OF
*** FOES. Dang it!
he a beast on gotham
Probably my favorite Batman villain. All that matters to him is his kill count, stunningly engraved onto his flesh. Ruthless, yet not mindless. I love it.
Zsasz is one of those villains that I really think the GCPD should have a "shoot on sight" policy for.
I like him in Gotham. He has no eyebrows and a girl squad
I love it when he goes PWEEAASE!!!
One of his hench(wo)man also lacks an eyebrow. And I do wonder what they did to Butch before handing him over to Penguin.
+jdcv17 they lobotomized him
+Ryan Hunter So, that's why. Thanks.
your the best bro. Everytime I want to see a origin story I come here thanks man
Anthony Carrigain did a great job on his character 💯
finally i was waiting for this for a long time
Can you make Professor Pyg.
Finally! I've been waiting for this so long...
I think I can understand why Victor did what he did.
We all have the feeling of emptiness in us, at least sometimes we do.
But death is not the answer - the REAL answer is to live on with our lives until the day of finding that one thing or person that can at least help fill that void for real.
Tom Sanders
what?
Tom Sanders
I am serious, though don't get the wrong idea of me.
He did find something to fill the void, gambling and when that turned on Him He perceived He had nothing else to live for; so He turned to murder.
To a desperate (in the true meaning of the word), sociopath murder is an acceptable approach to solving a problem.
I never watched Gotham but I watch The Flash and I'm shocked that Victor Zsasz is The Mist in The Flash TV.
which Zsasz? the one from Batman Begins or the one from the Gotham TV series?
Gotham tv series.
Chris Redfield much obliged, just as well, have you ever thought about seeing on Teen Titans?
Nope,i dont like Teen Titans... :/
Chris Redfield you will once you see Zsasz attacking Terra and her two friends and Beast Boy bleeding to death from the final blow
Cum loud? - Well, i would, but the neighbours would complain.
yes i know, he said "Cum Laude" which means "with praise/honours/distinction" - whichever you wanna use....
😂😂😂
+Michael Bradley No, you're right, it's pronounced "ko͝om ˈloudə" or "Koom Laow-deh/Low-deh". I get the sense they give this dude a script and have him read it in one take.
+Michael Bradley That definition can work for both.
What a nice video you got there
Thank you very much for a wonderful choices
0:45 that guy on the left looks like Donquuixote Doflamingo from one piece
Julian R. 😂😲💀
So batman, you think you can beat me?
what your Haki look like?
I’ve been into comics and stuff a lot more recently and had to watch this because zsaz was mentioned so often throughout 2 games and 3 comics
I love Victor Zsasz, he will always be one of my most favorite Batman villains.
The potrayal of Victor in the tv show "Gotham" is outstanding!
It’s honestly refreshing how…straightforward and to the point Zsasz is compared to other Batman villains. Instead of running with any special gimmicks or themes like so many others, he simply makes his mark as the most psychotic serial killer Gotham has ever seen
I flippin' LOVE Zsasz!
He is one of my favorite Batman villains!
This was interesting to see
So WatchMojo.. you've done Scarecrow, Black Mask, Two Face Joker and now Zsasz. If you could do Firefly next then my favorite Batman villains would all have a video ^-^
I like Victor Zsasz. Hes the most realistic villain of them alll , and could live near you. That DC came up with such a dark killer is awsome, when you think of guys like the riddler or those over- the- top comiccharacter like the Thanos or Galactus. He could really be out there.
What makes Zsasz even more unique and complex is that his name is a Plaindrome meaning his name is spelt the same forwards and backwards
Best actor and acting in Gotham episodes, haven't seen better Zsasz other than the one in Gotham.
Cool video
When I was little, I never wanted to answer the God damn phone in Arkham City. That freaked me out
You cant deny that Batman has the most and the best villains
A villain who's realistic can be the most scary. That's why I think characters Victor Zsasz and Heath Ledger's version of Joker are so scary. An insane killer who came from a happy family; kills to give his life meaning; and thinks he's helping people by killing them. An insane Anarchist who wants to watch the world burn for his own entertainment; takes control by striking fear into everyone's heart; and wants to prove everyone is just as insane as he is.
Joshua Oh and don’t forget Professor Pyg that guy freaks me out!!
Basically he feels like a hero but is a psychopath?
I Just Work Here pretty much, but isn’t that most villains though
really cool origin
dem telephone missions never get old
Victor Zsasz is by far my favourite
3:50 Why did I laugh?
Also top ten masked video game or anime characters?
The ideal villain for real life and the beginning if the Batman stand alone movie.
Along with professor pyg.dollmaker and zsasz the team up with them would be horrendous in any case and I would love to see them being more on the big screen personally.
Zsasz is a personal favorite of mine. I also like the Arkham City interpretation of the Calendar Man.
I love this guy
In Gotham the actor nailed him!
Love that show
no rhyme, reason, or tragic backstory. just pure psychopath. He's my favourite batman villain.
He sees life as suffering and therefore death as relief. Thus, he believes that by killing people, he's actually helping them.
I always saw zsasz motivation to Killing peaple like Gaara at the begining of Naruto, he is Killing to fill alive
Victor Zsasz vs The Joker
Who would win?
Raiden Patriot Joker. The Joker can get in your head, no matter how fucked up you may be.
ravager48 I'm just wondering how, considering that Zsasz sees humankind as zombies and the Joker's really no person to give him any doubt of that with his disregard of lives or the suffering of others.
Raiden Patriot They won't fight, look at Batman: Arkham Asylum (the video game by rocksteady) and see how Joker handles Zsasz, he uses him as a mere tool for his games...
Raiden Patriot The Joker
Raiden Patriot Joker, because plot armor
can you do more like this
Oh snap...He was in Batman Begins
You guys really need to do origin videos for villains of the flash like The Rogues (together or individually) The Reverse Flash (both Eobard Thawne and Hunter Zolomon) and Gorilla Grodd, all those characters named are awesome villains that people should know more about 👍
This guy is one of my favorite villians he's so psychotic and weird
he is any of my favorite batman villians
I love zsasz sm
An awesome video would be TOP 10 FANTASTIC FOUR MEMBERS.
Zsasz is the villain that makes you want more from Batman. Ok, don’t kill, but don’t just beat up and lock up either. Pull a bane and break their back, blow acls, break their arm in several places. They deserve more pain and for it to be impossible to wreak havoc ever again.
The actor who plays The Swede in "Hell On Wheels" would make a perfect Victor Zsasz!
Zsasz almost reminds me of the character Kevin Spacey played in the movie "7"
I knew about zsaz as the payphone killer and how he became a serial killer, and then i saw the clip from batman arkham city.
What's the name of the background music?
It's also shown in the tapes found in the Arkham Asylum game that when Zsasz believes he is 'missing a mark', it will become his obsession till he hunts the person down and kills them.
mad hatter scarecrow hush and victor zazs are awesome 😁
I first saw him in the Arkham City game and so i started learning more he is a fun bad guy
I remember in the DC Comics Miniseries by Greg Cox including Crisis on infinite earths and 52, that Victor Szasz was the Question then he passed his mask onto Renee Montoya.
I'm pretty sure that's wrong.
Zsasz is my favorite villian in Gotham The actor who plays him just plays him well
Question: if he cuts tallys into his skin after his kills what happens if he runs out of space?
can you do daredevil bullseye please....
cause I always look at your chanel for origin
awesome
This might just be my own revelation but does anyone think that the actor that plays Victor in Gotham appears in the video for Soundgardens Black Hole Sun? Not sure if it's just me or not
In the game (arkham games) in his bio it say he saving a special spot for Batman
This character would make a great retcon simply change the main phsycologist as Harley Quin and boom suddenly you can have a much larger backstory as Batman might tap Harley for info on Victor or might have Nightwing do it for him.
Victor Zsasz is the best Villain in Batman's Rouges Gallery. He's my absolutely favorite.
villains like these always intrigue me because they are really nothing more different than the henchmen that fight with top villains but for some reason they have this kind of plot device on them that makes them so lethal and somehow they always end up doing some of the worst things and still they can out with the main hero.
He's got the best last name ever. Also he's really creepy but cool at the same time.
would love to see victor and joker go at it
Victor zsasz. Probably the most realistic batman villain there is.
Plz do top 10 best epidemics in history
Tell me if I'm wrong but Zzazz sounds like the insane version of hitman
I thought they made a video for me for a second! lol
Never noticed hes in Batman Begins before.
I really wish he would have a big role in a film rather than a few seconds.
He’s not tactical enough to give batman a movie length challenge. Szasz is just a scary pyschopath that fuels the development of the batman character. It’s a vast display of Batman’s morals. And just as much shoes the stark difference in their outcomes while having similar stories. He should def have a cameo or a 5 min scene in a film
Soo cool
In the Gotham show the guy that played him looked like deadpool from the wolverine origins movie just with a mouth and nose
Top 10 movie and videogame weapons
