Morrison's new rogues are awesome!!!!
I am loving Morrison's new rogues!!! I mean, I love all the old Arkhamites and all, but it's great to see some fresh faces. I love Jason as the Red Hood with red guns, I think he should stay like this. Flamingo is brilliant, but I prefer to see him as Quitely drew him. Le Bossu was very original and I love his whole gargoyle henchman shtick. And Professor Pyg too!! I am very impressed with these new villains.

Professor Pyg and Dr. Hurt are two of my favorite Batman rogues, period. Perhaps its because Morrison is writing them, but they are so interesting, so creepy, and I want to see more of them.

my only problem with a villain like Pyg is...how does he make a comeback? i mean he can be taken too comical and then just become a joke villain...or do you want to push him WAY over the edge where were reading Saw in comic form? |

They're creeping the hell out of me. I can almost smell the burning and rotting flesh.

A much-needed revitalization/refreshing of an increasingly stale cast of villainry.

I enjoy Dr. Hurt and Dr. Pyg. Dr. Pyg especially creeps me out. Flamingo is just ok, some nutjob who is overpowered killer, too generic for me

the hype that was brought up in issue 5 definately gave him the push needed but the lack of characterization in 6 killed him for me. |

Hurt has become one of my all time favorite comic villains, so I agree.

Can someone tell me what's up with Dr. Hurt exactly? Was he the devil as in Satan or just an evil dude? I haven't read RIP yet, but read what happened, but don't have all the details.

Prof Pyg is one of my favorites. That panel with him going oinkydy oink oink to Damian's face won me over. I liked him but after that scene I freaking loved him.
Flamingo was a big meh for me. I find it Extremely hard to believe that an Spanish speaker would call himself El Flamingo. It sounds funny in English Context but it sounds moronic in an Spanish context. And his characterization didn't help. And Hurt to me was more of a plot device than a character. But still Kudos for Pyg. Best new villain since Scarface a.nd the Ventriloquist

Pyg was awesome. Flamingo felt kinda wasted, but he was still cool. Dr. Hurt, man... how can you make a better villain than the devil!?
The only one I have not enjoyed is his work with Jason. For some reason the way Morrison writes him annoys me.

Pyg is the best of all the new bunch.
I liked the new red hood as well. Flamingo was wasted. I hope he is not dead and used again soon.
