Cluemaster

My rules forbid me from putting The Riddler (my favorite Batman villain of all time; no contest) on this list, so I’ll put his knockoff on here. But that’s not all that Cluemaster is. He’s actually a pretty cool villain in his own right.

Arthur Brown (still didn’t need to look up his real name, because I only know unimportant things) was a failed game show host who decided to become a master criminal (like you do). And he would leave game show-esque clues at the scenes of his crimes for Batman to figure out.

I LOVE THIS.

I am one hundred percent convinced that the world would be an infinitely better place if Alex Trebek was out there running around stealing priceless artifacts.

Cluemaster was actually even a Justice Leaguer at one point. Yes, it was the Justice League Antarctica, BUT IT STILL COUNTS!! Unfortunately for Artie, his legacy was more important than he was, as his daughter Stephanie Brown would go on to become Spoiler, then Batgirl, then Spoiler again, because DC reboot stupidity. But yeah, she overshadows the heck out of her dear old dad.
