STUPID QUESTION ABOUT BAT-VILLAINS

[T. Paul Stiles]

I've never been a real Batman reader and I wanna know if Batman's villains have ever teamed up on him a la Spider-man's Sinister Six or Flash's Rouges Gallery.

Thanks in advance for your help :)

Certain villains have teamed up before but rarely en masse. Batman's Rogues are more like crime bosses much of the time and as such are in competition with one another.

[James T. Rios]

I actually don't know. Does Jeph Loeb's 'Hush' count? It wasn't really en masse, more like a conspiracy-type theme. But still, it featured almost all of Batman's major enemies.

[S.A. Parvaze]

Jeph Loeb's stuff is probably only place where that's (sort of) happened, post-Crisis. But yeah, he mostly takes them on in ones or twos -- they're all just too crazy to get along.

Long Halloween had an assortment all working together, as did Dark Victory (both written by Loeb). There were at least six of them in the group, weren't there? There was no official name for them though, they were just working together at that point in time.

[Liam Creswick]

Didnt the all band together beacuse it was like Flaconies Mob vs The Freaks (aka, most of Batmans villains). I remeber a pannel with Two Face sitting behing a desk, with Joker, Poison Ivy, Grundy, and some others all around them. Anyway, I guess thats about the only occation and every one but them referd to that groups as "The Freaks"

[Adam Chapman]

That's the moment I was thinking of, in particular. A cool moment, for sure. :D

[necrosNWJP]

I don't see any of Batman's enimies teaming up. If they do, it's usually a short time alliance, usually ending with the two villians turning on each other. I mean come on, most of these guys are flat out psychos.

Speaking of stupid questions, here's mine: who is Hush? has his identity been revealed?

[Fanatix]

It's still thomas elliot whos the official hush.
It's entirely possible that it could end up being a plethora of villains, maybe even multiple who have donned the bandage wrap. It's already been clay-face, Jason todd, thomas elliot, and two-face. With jason and riddler both claiming to have been the masterminds behind it.

But as of right now, "hush" is still supposed to be elliot with prometheus as a bodyguard.
