Who is Lazlo Valentin?

Lazlo Valentin is a DC Comics villain who debuted in Batman Incorporated #3 (2012). Known by the alias Professor Pyg, he is a deeply disturbed criminal whose twisted obsession with 'perfection' drives him to terrorize Gotham City.

Lazlo Valentin is a Modern Age DC creation who stepped onto the page in Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham's Batman Incorporated #3 in 2012 β€” a memorable debut in one of the most ambitious Batman runs of the era. With 25 catalog appearances spread across Batman, Detective Comics, and even Adventures of Superman, he's carved out a genuine footprint in the DC universe despite not being a household name. He keeps remarkably charged company, sharing pages with Batman, Bruce Wayne, Robin, Selina Kyle, and the unforgettable Professor Pyg, placing him squarely in Gotham's darkest, most psychologically complex corners. For readers who love the layered, Morrison-inflected side of modern DC, Lazlo Valentin is exactly the kind of character worth tracking down.
