Would The Undertaker Make a Great Batman Villain?

As a pro wrestling fan who just LOVES The Undertaker, if you tweak his story a little bit, he could be a great Batman Villain. The Undertaker is not a bad guy — he's more of an anti-hero. However, he's had some bad guy characters over the years that could work. He's had multiple alterations to his character — a funeral director/mortician, a dark cult leader, a badass biker, and the Phenom. Let's explore how The Undertaker could transform into an iconic Batman villain.

As a Funeral Director/Mortician

As a funeral director/mortician, The Undertaker could be... lame. I don't see how a funeral minister would be an interesting villain against Batman. It's not like he's going to bring his parents back to life or anything of that sort. The idea of The Undertaker maintaining control over death would make for an intriguing subplot, but not a threatening one against Batman.

As a Dark Cult Leader

As a dark cult leader, The Undertaker could be cool. I can see some cool dynamics that he can bring, some supernatural warfare. Imagine a cult that worships death and the afterlife, led by The Undertaker, inciting chaos in Gotham. His imposing presence could make Gotham feel like it's on the brink of something sinister. Alongside this, there could be a supernatural twist, making the conflict more than just a typical battle of personality.

As a Badass Biker

The only way 'Taker will look like a threat as a badass biker is if one of the Batmobile's tires bursts while they are having a race. He could also be a Ghost Rider-like figure without the Spirit of Vengeance bit. This would put him in direct conflict with Batman, who is constantly battling supernatural foes. The metaphorical 'Growler' dies and is reborn every time he gets into another wrestling match, symbolizing his eternal struggle and rebirth.

As the Phenom

As the Phenom, The Undertaker could be great. His presence and dialogue delivery could be perfected if it's done right. He could be this supernatural figure that is unpredictable, capable of being your friend and your worst foe. I literally can write a whole novel on his backstory. Call me DC. The idea of The Undertaker as a supernatural being with a complex and dark origin story has endless possibilities.

Even though this question was random, it has the potential to be a banger. With a little creativity and a good storyline, The Undertaker could become a compelling and unexpected Batman villain.

Plot and Supporting Cast

The plot could be that The Undertaker is expanding his Ministry of Darkness into Gotham City. First, he will create a monopoly on coffins, then start killing people to “grow” the business. "Holy Cow Batman this guy is darker than the Bat Cave!" The Undertaker would tower over Batman and Robin, presenting them with an imposing foe. His accomplice in crime would be the Billion Dollar Princess aka Catty Woman. The Dead Man is a man of few words, so his spokesperson would be the eerie Paul Bearer. The Undertaker would be joined, of course, by his brother Kane. Together, The Undertaker and Kane would make the Joker and Penguin seem like sissies.

Conclusion

The idea of The Undertaker as a Batman villain is out there, but it has the potential to be a unique and captivating storyline. With a little character development and a compelling plot, The Undertaker could become an iconic and unforgettable Batman villain. So, let's explore this interesting scenario and see where it takes us.
