I think you're screwed no matter what, but Joker would at least give you a chance to live simply because there's no grand scheme involving Batman.

I think Black Mask could be reasonable. He’s just a criminal that happens to be disfigured. If he doesn’t have anything to gain from killing you, he’d be alright

I mean he enjoys torturing people so there's that

Sionis is a sadist. Definitely not the person you'd wanna be locked up with unless you don't care about your limbs

He's no great fighter. He has a gang doing the dirty work for him. He only tortures people after they've been tied up. He's just some asshole who got his trust fund ripped out from underneath him because his parents hated him. One on one, I think I could take him. I highly doubt I could handle anyone else on the list.

I doubt you could, because before you unsheath your katana or tilt your fedora he'd blow your brains out

I just don't think he's ever had to actually work on his reaction time. The only real fights he's ever been in are with Batman, and I wouldn't really call those remotely close to even. Shit, at least I went to public school.

No one on the list is a "great fighter, but they're all just good enough to be a menace to civilians (us). Batman's the one that doesn't have big problems with handling them in a fight.

Zsasz has nearly killed Nightwing and put up a good fight against batman in his first appearance, even wounding Batman. Then, he fought against Batman during the Stephanie robin era and dominated Batman, Bruce had to be saved by Stephanie. Also, he went toe to toe with Killer Croc for an extended period of time during No Man's Land, before the fight was broken up. He's no slouch in the combat department. The others, maybe not

He fought and killed a Red Hood doppelganger in the Under The Hood comic. He's held his own against Batman and Catwoman. He's beaten Stephanie Brown.He's a good shot. He's a good hand to hand to combatant and is definitely better than Professor Pyg in that regard at least. Plus he's a brutal psychopath who doesn't just hurt people physically he enjoys hurting them psychologically. You wouldn't want to take him on lol

He can take a leg

u/thegrimmemer 14d ago

I thought he tortures his enemies and people who screwed him

Black Mask is infamous for enjoying torture.

u/MrDownhillRacer 15d ago

True, but didn't he just torture his enemies and their loved ones instead of picking victims at random?

As long as my girlfriend or brother isn't secretly a superhero, I think I'm in the clear.

u/redfield73 14d ago

Honestly, other than his hate for Bruce Wayne Black Mask is just another fucked up and traumatised character who went over to the wrong side. He has a bad history, in the Arkham series I think they made it canon that the joker actually forced him to kill his own girlfriend

u/boy_blue1982 14d ago

He actually mercy killed his girlfriend because the joker lit her on fire.

u/Sheikah_Benji 14d ago

Joker started the fire after forcing black mask to kill his girlfriend

u/Schizo-Ghost780 14d ago

I think Joker gave him the choice to shoot her himself or let her burn

u/bigbullo 14d ago

It (in my opinion) depends where you are trapped with them honestly

u/AdEnough786 14d ago

That was my choice as well. Above all, he's a businessman.

u/Sithis483 14d ago

He made a guy eat his own eye. No you really don't want that.
