Batman has fought many ruthless
characters in his career but this one
may be the most soulless of them all
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we
will explore the comic book origins of
Victor Zsasz in my opinion mr. zas is as
much a danger to himself as to others
and prison is probably not the best
environment for his rehabilitation as
with most comic book characters they’re
often reimagining and different versions
to a character’s path we’ve chosen to
primarily follow the storyline which
unfolded in 1992 s shadow of the bat
numbers 1 to 4 which was expanded upon
in 1996 is the Batman Chronicles number
3 hello everyone my name is Victor Zsasz
vicious and remorseless Victor Zsasz
first appeared in the Arkham Asylum
story arc that opened the shadow of the
bat series in 1992 although this was as
his first appearance he was treated as a
longtime foe of Batman zaz was revealed
to be a serial killer who had at this
time killed more than 40 people his
calling card was to pose his victims in
lifelike tableau
zaz also had the unnerving habit of
carving a new tally mark into his skin
for each person killed
twenty-eight in this story Batman had to
discover house as who seemed to be
securely incarcerated was still
apparently committing crimes although
readers learned a lot about saz’s
character they didn’t find out much
about how he came to be a serial killer
that full origin came a few years later
in 1996 the villains origin story was
told during a session by dr. temple the
psychologist assigned to work with him
in Arkham Asylum
zaz began his tale by talking about how
he looked into his own soul and became
the serial killer he is now he then
started from the very beginning
according to zazz he had had a very
happy childhood he was raised by loving
and caring parents who were also quite
wealthy in school he was a model student
and graduated cum laude from college
soon after graduation he amassed his own
fortune through his intelligence and
business acumen his parents death when
he was 25 years old disoriented the
young man to distract himself he began
gambling soon this moved beyond a
distraction and became an addiction in
one memorable night he ended up
impoverishing himself through a
high-stakes game against the penguin
that night he gazed into a mirror and
saw his own soul or lack thereof
zaz formed the opinion that there was
nothing to his life and nothing to
anybody’s life he came to see himself
and all humans as nothing than mere
robots or zombies saz decided to commit
suicide but was interrupted in his
attempt by an old man who wanted to rob
him the young man easily got the upper
hand on his assailant when he did so he
had a revelation
since all people were nothing but
zombies he could save them from their
empty lives by killing them and by
killing them
zaz found a purpose for his own life he
essentially became a serial killer so
that he would have purpose and to not
feel bored or helpless with himself
hello Batman do you recognize my voice
victor says in the flesh
Victor Zsasz is one of the most brutal
of all of Batman’s crazed foes perhaps
to existential and violence to be used
exclusively on animated TV shows zaz has
nevertheless made brief appearances in
live-action Batman properties and in
video games he’s a fascinating character
who fits well in the media properties
that emphasize the darker side of
Batman’s world there are 50 cops in here
try something everybody out

would choose people for the mob doesn’t
