Bat-Mite and the Fearsome Foot-Fighters

Filed under: Action, Warner Brothers, Fandom

The Penny PlundererThe new Batman flick hasn't even opened yet, but let's talk sequels! Would you go see the next movie if the villains were the Fearsome Foot-Fighters, bad guys from the country of Karonia who are also acrobats? Probably not. The Onion has a great piece highlighting some of the forgotten (and deservedly so) criminals from the Batman comics of the 40s through the 80s. My favorite is The Penny Plunderer, a guy who sold newspapers and got fired for pinching pennies. So what does he do? He becomes a criminal mastermind committing penny-themed crimes! That's him in the pic, throwing a roll of pennies at the Cape Crusader. Imagine trying to make that into a movie in 2005.
