Dr. Schivel

Dr. Schivel is a colorful villain inhabiting the pop-art, campy world of DC's Batman '66, a continuity based on the classic 1960s television series. He operates as a rogue adversary to Batman and Robin, and has crossed paths with agents from U.N.C.L.E. and British spies Steed and Mrs. Peel.

Stepping out of the sun-drenched, pop-art world of DC's Batman '66, Dr. Schivel made his debut in 2014 courtesy of creators Jeff Parker and Rubén Procopio — a Modern Age villain tailor-made for that gloriously campy corner of the DC universe. With a modest but memorable 13 appearances spread across crossover gems like Batman '66 Meets the Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Batman '66 Meets Steed and Mrs. Peel, he's the kind of colorful rogue who thrives in the company of Batman, Robin, and even the chilling Mr. Freeze. If you love the bright, tongue-in-cheek aesthetic of the classic TV era reimagined on the page, Dr. Schivel is a delightful piece of that puzzle worth tracking down.
