Villains try to prove themselves by facing the Bats...

...and not all of them are quite on the level of the Joker and Two-Face.

"He said his name is what?"





The Gotham press, however, assumes they all are as dangerous as the Joker...



Makes you wonder how they report this guy...






So, some good things can come from facing dangerous menaces such as this, if you're Dick Grayson.

Maybe it's Bruce, himself, that tries to enhance the reps of his less impressive foes...



But, there are some images that even Bruce can't help...



And, any look at the less impressive members of the Batman Rogues Gallery isn't complete without this one...



Yet, demonstrating that just fighting Batman can make your rep, someone actually thought Crazy Quilt was a legacy worth taking over.

As my mother says, if you cant say something condimentary, then don't say anything at all.

You should be....

Olive this thread so much.

other than diabling people with the terrible stains - or if you are sensitive to such things as tabasco or mustard and giving you a histamine reaction, what are his powers?

Of course facing the Condiment King allowed Dick to mustard up the courage to kiss Babs (wait, that's been used, dammit, sorry.,..)

The upgraded version who returned years later was basically a one person walking chemical weapon.

Consider the chemical properties of certain spices, he can do things to your mucous membranes that would have troops of SAS and Marines pleading for mercy (or possibly some nice soothing yoghurt). The Scoville Scale isn't just there for chilli cookouts.
