The Sword Swallower is a minor antagonist in Tim Burton's 1992 superhero film Batman Returns. He was a thug who worked for The Penguin as a member of the Red Triangle Circus Gang.

He was played by John Strong.

Biography[]

The Sword Swallower follows the other goons when The Poodle Lady blows up a building. Batman suddenly appears to halt the crime and draws the sword from the man's mouth and incapacitates him but he apparently manages to escape. Later, he tries to steal a child in accordance with The Penguin's plans to kidnap the first-born sons of Gotham but is arrested by Batman.
