Batman Villains Who Deserve A Chance On The Big Screen

2. Hush

Tommy Elliot is one of Bruce Wayne’s oldest friends. He also just happens to be one of his deadliest rivals. It seems like an old Batman rival trick at this point, but Hush knows how to manipulate the other Gotham villains to do his bidding. Unlike characters like the Joker or Penguin who might pay other villains to work for them, Hush can often have people do his bidding without them even realizing it.  

Sure, he asks some people for help sometimes, like my boy Clayface is a very emotional confrontation I don’t want to spoil in the original Hush story line. Hush knows exactly what buttons to push to get Batman extremely angry and emotionally vulnerable. Not only is he a physical match for Batman, but he is a mental equal to him that forces Batman to dig deep and think differently in order to take him down. A battle between two old friends might be a tired trope at this point, but it could be handled well if talented screenwriters are attached to the project.
