Chip Zdarsky’s nearly three-year Batman run has had soaring highs juxtaposed with some crashing lows, though fans still enjoyed some of the most interesting stories the Caped Crusader has had in a while. But Zdarsky’s use of new and old villains has stood out at the core of his narrative.
Many of Zdarsky’s new villains have already made themselves out to be iconic despite their recent addition to the Batman mythos. Returning villains from past stories also have great moments where they shine within the series, although some had a better impact than others.
Given that The Gotham War started as a moral conflict between Catwoman and a Zur-en-Arrh-influenced Batman regarding the moral nuances of defeating crime, Vandal’s addition to the plot was a sharp juxtaposition. What was even stranger was that Vandal did not simply disappear after the storyline but continued to show up as a side villain and eventually became the new Police Commissioner of Gotham City. How Vandal managed to secure this position was largely glossed over, making it extremely far-fetched how someone like him –who at worst would have a notorious criminal past or at best have no public history to validate his qualifications to take on the position– could become Commissioner out of the blue.
