Victor Zsasz is a minor antagonist in Batman Begins, the first installment of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy. He is an assassin working for crime boss Carmine Falcone.

He was portrayed by Tim Booth.

History[]

Zsasz was a professional assassin operating in Gotham. Prior to the movie's beginning, he was arrested and put on trial for his crimes. Assistant district attorney Rachel Dawes stated that Zsasz murdered people for the mob and was one of Carmine Falcone's many thugs. However, Dr. Jonathan Crane testified in Court that Zsasz was legally insane and should be transferred to Arkham Asylum for rehabilitation.

During Ra's al Ghul's reign of terror, Victor Zsasz was released from the asylum alongside the other crazed inmates. In the streets of Gotham, Zsasz almost attacked Rachel and a little boy she was trying to protect, but was stopped by Batman.

Trivia[]

  • When Zsasz is released from his cell and turns his head, one of his trademark tally marks is exposed.
  • In the movie, Zsasz has no dialogue, and does not appear to be insane unlike the comic book version.
  • A promotional website for The Dark Knight reveals that Zsasz is still at large.
  • Zsasz also appears in the video game tie-in, with Tim Booth reprising the role.
  • Zsasz's portrayal as a mob enforcer and hitman would later be carried over into his next two live-action appearances, first in the 2014 television series Gotham and then the 2020 film Birds of Prey. In Gotham he is shown to be a hitman for that incarnation of Carmine Falcone.
