Who is Condiment King and what are his powers? The Batman star Robert Pattinson names his favorite DC villain

Robert Pattinson, the new DC superhero Batman, in an interview has revealed all about his favorite DC supervillain and the choice may shock many fans. DC Comics has an array of superheroes and villains, but few would anticipate who among them is Pattinson's favorite supervillain. During an interview with Brut México, the The Batman star revealed,

"There's a bad guy in the Animated Series called Condiment King. I just think it's the greatest idea. It's a guy who sprays mustard and ketchup at people, and I just think it's such a great idea for a bad idea... They just get covered in mustard."

Pattinson's co-star Zoë Kravitz, who has obviously heard of this before, chimed in saying,

"You're really sticking with this."

Condiment King was created by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini for Batman: The Animated Series. He is a DC Comics villain who uses a variety of condiments as his weapons. The villain is usually portrayed as a comic relief in scenes.

Condiment King first appeared in season 3 of Batman: The Animated Series as a ridiculous character staging a hold-up in a fancy restaurant and threatening its patrons with ketchup and mustard guns.
