Pop Stars Who Are Basically Batman Villains

Mikey McCollor

Obviously you have to be insane to go up against The Batman. No one's going to argue that. But the music industry? If that record doesn't sell, they can do a hell of a lot more damage to you than Batman ever could. So what kind of sick person willingly decides they want to perform before millions? The same kind of psychological profile as those who turn to a life of crime in Gotham City. Here are some pop singers who are essentially Batman villains.

 

Ke$ha - Bane

Like we expect Bane to do in The Dark Knight Rises, Ke$ha has launched a full-scale terrorist attack, except instead of attacking Gotham City, she's attacking common decency and non-alcoholic toothpaste.

 

Katy Perry - Harley Quinn

Both Harley Quinn and Katy Perry acted goofy enough around their darkly comic true love (The Joker/ Russell Brand) to make them seem sillier by association.

 

Kanye West - The Riddler

Let's talk for one second about people with an over-inflated ego who aren't as great as they think they are. But besides that obvious comprison, Kanye and the Riddler have one other similaity: The Riddler deduced Batman's true identity, while Kanye West one time said "Too many Urkels on your team, that's why your wins low", meaning that they both had one shining moment that was clearly the greatest thing they were ever going to do in their lives and probably should have just died immediately afterwards.

 

Carly Rae Jepsen - Mr. Zsasz

Mr. Zsaz spent the entirety of Batman: Arkham City forcing you to call him maybe.

 

Josh Groban - Firefly

Josh Groban is basically Firefly because who is Josh Groban and also who is Firefly?

 

Miley Cyrus - Two-Face

Now, it's important to note that Miley Cyrus isn't like Two-Face because she treats Hannah Montana like a second identity. She's like Two-Face in that whenever one of her henchmen screws up she flips a coin that decides if they live or die.

 

Celine Dion - Ra's al Ghul

Man, I did not know that Celine Dion has literally been alive for centuries, plunging herself into the bubbling, madness-inducing Lazarus Pits whenever she was near-death. It's so weird the stuff you find out when you start following links on Wikipedia. You just fall into an information rabbit hole, am I right?!
