Doctor Aesop

A sinister addition to Gotham's rogues' gallery, Doctor Aesop stepped onto the scene in 2009, conjured by the celebrated creative team of Paul Dini and Dustin Nguyen during the Modern Age. With only a handful of appearances to their name, this rare villain haunts the pages of Batman: Heart of Hush and Gotham City Sirens: Songs of the Sirens, rubbing shoulders with some of Batman's most iconic adversaries — Hush, the Riddler, the Penguin, Scarecrow, and Catwoman. That kind of company makes Doctor Aesop a genuine collector's curiosity: a fresh face in one of comics' most storied criminal underworlds, born from one of DC's most beloved Batman storytellers.
