8 DC Characters Who Are Way Better On TV Than Film

Victor Zsasz

As a serial killer who carves a tally mark on his body for every person he murders, Victor Zsasz isn’t exactly someone you’d expect to enjoy a beer and game of football with. Naturally, when the character, played by Tim Booth, made a brief appearance in Batman Begins, he was pretty much the serious, maniacal murderer you’d expected to see.

Anthony Carrigan’s Zsasz on Gotham, however, is nothing like Booth’s interpretation. On paper, it shouldn’t work, but Carrigan’s unique, somewhat comical, portrayal of the killer has become a real highlight of season 4. His quips and morbid sense of humor are hilarious and he’s undoubtedly become one of the best recurring villains of the show. In many ways, he’s the character that encapsulates the program’s quirky tone the best.

Look, Zsasz will never be a villain on the same level as the likes of Joker, Penguin, or Two-Face. Even so, Carrigan has done something different and interesting, turning this deviant into a bona-fide fan-favorite and making him more popular than he should have any right being.
