>>101133591Honestly, I can understand and accept why Hugo was killed off. At the time of his debut, cool as he was even then, he was little more than a standard pulp villain, and Batman was really trying to move away from that and become a more unique character (and the introduction of characters like Joker, Catwoman and Penguin is a huge reason why he succeeded).
As it is, I think it's for the best Hugo was eventually brought back and, for the longest time, only used by writers who really cared about him. It allowed him to maintain a record of consistency + quality no other Batman villain ever did.
With overexposure, he would have become just another mad scientist (as he is often treated as now).
>>101133062A stillborn character if there ever was one.
Started out poorly, was forgotten, and any hopes she had for a revival were dashed with the introduction of Harley Quinn, and then she only got worse.
Never had potential, and never will.
>>101133399Croc's introduction was absolutely fucking boss and it saddens me he was so quickly reduced into a dumb lizard monster.
>>101133496I've gone from despising Black Mask to appreciating him for his original Doug Moench storylines and his goofy liners in Under the Red Hood.
I like Roman as long as they don't try to hype him as the big bad overlord of Gotham crime.
>>101133539I wish she had teamed up with Penguin at least once
