Batman Villains Who Deserve A Chance On The Big Screen

4. Black Mask

Black Mask is one of the most twisted figures in Gotham. Roman Sionis is a kingpin with a fetish-like love for masks who will do anything to remain at the top of the criminal underground. Roman was born into a wealthy, elite family that always cared more about money than his own well-being. Upon his birth, he was dropped by the doctor. Instead of freaking out about their son’s health, the wealthy parents covered up the whole fiasco to ensure their friends wouldn’t hear about it. He grew up and was forced to endure the social fakery of the social elite as his parents constantly sucked up to the Waynes despite hating them. Roman soon became obsessed with the different masks people put on to get what they need.

Roman has no limits when it comes to getting what he wants. He has tortured Robins and burned people alive just to secure his position. He is one of DC’s most sadistic villains, and I think his backstory and emotional head space could work well in a movie. Black Mask might be appearing in Batman’s backyard sooner than we think. David Ayer’s recent tweet might be a subtle hint that Sionis will be setting up shop in Gotham soon.
