Thank you, Wired, for inviting me to discuss these villains. That was fun.

The way he dismissed Jared Leto’s Joker as a ‘superficial punk’ was on point. 😂

So.. Gotham doesn’t need batman, they’re in dire need of psychiatrists.

Surprised he didn't comment on the fact that Harley Quinn was a therapist. One would think that would be an interesting notion when it comes to exploring her own mental health.

The dismissal of Leto's version of Joker was brutally true. I love that dude spent about ten seconds on it and just immediately moved on abruptly.

Everytime a professional, in this case Travis, says Heath Ledger did a great job, it warms my heart. So sad we lost him so early.

I honestly don’t think Catwoman is a villain and more an anti-hero character

I love that he didn't go deep with Leto's Joker.

I think what's interesting about him noting tardive dyskinesia in the Heath Ledger Joker is that the tongue flicking was originally due to the lip prosthetics coming loose and then Heath just made it part of the character.

I love how they got Hugo Strange to come in and talk about the other Batman villains.

I think the scariest now was dano's riddler, you got the egotistical megalomania of the riddler, with a little of the zodiac killer, and just a dash of jigsaw, the fact that he also got a following, and these people were willing to also murder is just chilling

Im actually very impressed. This guy obviously knows a lot about psychiatry, go figure, but I was pleasantly suprised to see that he's very well versed in Batman knowledge and lore.
