Have you ever watched a movie with a notable villain and just thought, 'Wow, he's actually pretty cool!'? Okay well maybe it's just me. I have always had a thing for being intrigued by the villain.

Joker: The Joker made his very first appearance in Batman #1 and has been known ever since as his most notorious enemy. He is a known psychopath with a very dark and sick sense of humor. He changed things up for a time by changing his game to jokes, but soon returned to his dark and twisted ways.

Lex Luthor: Lex made his first appearance in Action Comics #23 who we find out was a childhood friend of Superman. A lab fire left him bald and he blamed Superman for it even though he was just trying to save him. After this, he chose a dark path using his power to drive his reign of destruction. He also served as President.

The Govenor: I'm sure many of you know who this is. He is the main villain in the famous TV series 'Walking Dead.' He made his first appearance in the comic book series Walking Dead #27. He is known as the brutal, and quite insane leader who is known for killing many of the main characters in both the comic series and TV series.

I thought I would help the guys out with costume ideas just in time for the Krewe de Bayou's Red Hot Vixens & Villains Mardi Gras Ball. It is set for Friday, January 30th at the Petroleum Club's La Marquise at Parc Lafayette. Tickets and tables are still available. You can get yours and find out more about the ball here. See you there!
