Robert Pattinson Is Right: This Obscure Bat-Villain Would Be Great For The Batman 2

Summary

• Including Condiment King as a minor antagonist in The Batman 2 would highlight the true scariness of main villains Riddler and Joker.
• The brainwashed version of Condiment King could be depicted as terrifying, showcasing the Joker's ability to manipulate and control people.
• Condiment King could be reimagined as a serious, deadly character, proving that adapting this outlandish villain is not out of reach for The Batman 2.

The absurd Batman villain Condiment King was jokingly named as a potential villain in The Batman 2, but this comedic criminal could actually work for Matt Reeves’s dark and serious DC film series. Condiment King has long been one of the most intentionally goofy DC villains, and as such, often joked about when the discussion of prospective villains in upcoming live-action DC movies and shows comes around. However, the specifics of the bizarre character's life and origin story suggest the expanding world of The Batman would be able to adapt him for its world, despite how tonally jarring this would otherwise seem.
Condiment King debuted in Batman: The Animated Series' “Make ‘Em Laugh” episode, in which he was an unwilling pawn of The Joker. The popular Gotham City comedian Buddy Standler was brainwashed by The Joker (using technology stolen from The Mad Hatter) to become a “silly” criminal, armed with ketchup and mustard guns and hot sauce packets. While Condiment King was never a true supervillain in the animated series, he proved popular enough to receive a counterpart in DC’s mainstream post-Crisis and post-Flashpoint continuities: the relatively harmless Mitchell Mayo. Due to this set up, The Batman 2 story could add Condiment Man to the movie far easier than it might otherwise seem.
