Hue Vile

A sinister newcomer to Gotham's rogues' gallery, Hue Vile burst onto the scene in 2021's Detective Comics #1035, conjured by the acclaimed creative team of Mariko Tamaki and Dan Mora during one of DC's most critically celebrated modern runs. Brief in catalog appearances but unforgettable in company, this villain shares Gotham's dark corners with Batman, Bruce Wayne, Barbara Gordon, Oracle, and the Penguin — a murderers' row of DC's finest that speaks to just how high-stakes Hue Vile's introduction really was. Five appearances may be a slim dossier, but in comics, a sharp debut in the right book with the right creators is exactly how legends begin — and this one is well worth tracking down.
