    Black Mask

    Character » Black Mask appears in 449 issues.

    So they succeeded in making him even more retarded.

    Seriously WTF is wrong with DC,first they butcher Mr Freeze's origin and now apparently Black Mask is less of a crime boss and more interested in being the worlds number one mind controller.His mask just happens to give him mind control abilities and now he and Hatter hate each other cause there cant be 2 mind controllers in one city.Now that folks in the definition of retarded

    @entropy_aegis: I just got around to reading it. I don't know much about Black Mask. Did he always have mind control abilities, or is that a New 52 thing? Also, do you know what about the mask lets him do that?

    @Kal'smahboi: It's a new ability from the new 52. Black Mask was so awesome before this. He was a badass torturer who killed a Robin and became the top crime lord in Gotham at one time.... now... a mind controller....

    Stephanie Brown. She was later retconned back to life, making it to where she survived what Black Mask did and faked her death.

    LMAO. It's to be expected by now.

    Might as well have just kept him dead.

    What I don't get is that some people keep saying that Daniel has good ideas, but which are those "good ideas" exactly? Peacock? Catgirl? Mr. Toxic? C'mon! The only decent character Daniel has created is the Dollmaker, and even he looks terribly generic.

    He went from undead mob leader to mind control what. He had not much character on him before. He killed a robin but that is about it. I don’t care much for him.

    @The_Tree:I thought he was zombie or undead so he was deader.

    Freeze's origin was good, but dang, it pales in comparison to the BTAS one. So we are agreed there.

    And I find most of the stuff that happens in Batman books to be things that aren't worth my time, such as what was then Daniel's Detective run..

    Eh, this is lame indeed, but not as bad as what they did to Freeze.

    Past versions of him i think have been alittle on the rushed side, But im hoping with the new Arkham Origins: he is given alittle more life. So far i like what theyre doing with Him, but im not gonna lie, i liked the whole Batman AC Black Mask-just wish they did alil more with the character in the game.
