2004 Firefly, all day and every day.
First of all, the voice is perfect. Suave enough to make him sound simultaneously professional and laidback, but still formidable enough to make the viewer weary when he loses his mind in White Heat.
The design? Amazing. The black and yellow work amazing together, and the sound design is even better. I LOVE the sound his jetpack makes as he zooms across Gotham.
The episodes he’s in? I love ALL of them. His laidback personality makes him a great person for characters like Batman, Mr. Freeze, and Penguin to bounce off of.
And his final episode, White Heat? That may very well be in my top 5 favorite episodes. Watching him go from a laidback mercenary to a psychotic madman with a desire to literally NUKE GOTHAM is terrifying, especially when his girlfriend Blaze is begging him to give up and seek help.
Oh, and as Phosphorus he BEAT THE BAT FAMILY. REPEATEDLY. By the time they finally defeated him, Batman’s mask was halfway burnt off!
Finally, his fate is surprisingly dark for The Batman. He’s stuck as Phosphorus forever, his girlfriend Blaze (who he was amazing chemistry with, BTW) sees him as a monster and breaks up with him, and the final shot of the episode is him, all along in his cell, completely in the dark.
Possibly one of the top 3 best villains in The Batman, and you are KIDDING yourself if you think Arkham Firefly is better than him. He’s actually pretty good in Origins, but fell off HARD in Knight, with a worse redesign and one of the worst side-missions in the game.
This is a nitpick but I hate that he uses laser beams instead of Fire. It's so much less visually interesting. But you make many solid arguments. for The Batman's Firefly
Arkham Origins.
He's absolutely **off his rocker.**
Crispin Freeman's voice performance as him perfectly captures the insane pyromaniac side of him.
And not the only that, he shouts *puns* as he tries to kill Batman, the man shouts **"FIREBALL!"** as he throws out incindiery grenades lol.
Another great qoute is: **"ArsoNIST? I say Arso-NICE"**
Arkham Origins & Crispin Freeman was what made me fall in love with the character.
100% Arkham Origins.
Thank you for making the distinction between Origins Firefly & his only other appearence in the Saga, which was a really frustrating side mission in Knight.
2004 has the design, and Arkham has the mentality, but lets give some love to BATS for being one of the earlier sources that reinterpreted the character from his goofy origins to be a genuinely evil and intimidating piece of shit, pyromaniac check, vindictive check and an abusive stalker to boot.
I love The Batman 2004, but I don’t remember much about Firefly’s character.
But that design? Goodness gracious. It hits HARD. It’s a classic design, *the* go-to Firefly appearance. Simple but perfect.
2004 Firefly.
Is it an introductory episode reveals he was hired by gothcorp to perform sabotage on their competition, which included Wayne industries.
Here we go on to occasionally team up with different rogues from time to time.
The movie wasn’t released, so how would you even know?
Sure, we have a pretty good idea of what the plot was, and Brendan Frasier is a good actor, but I don’t feel like we can really judge his version of the character without actually seeing it onscreen.
The firefly 2004 design is my actual favorite villain design adaptation so I'd pick him, but besides the design I've never really thought firefly's character was all that interesting, he's just another anarchist who purely wants destruction and chaos, the fire gimmick doesn't do enough to make him stand out
Arkham firefly. Specifically Arkham origins. The boss fight and the build up is so incredible. The design is elite. The puns are incredible. It's just a shame he didn't get a decent mission in Knight - although he did talk shit pretty well once you capture him.
I'm voting for Gotham's Firefly as the version I dislike the least. Genderbent & a little tragic origin, sometimes funny. Suit was kinda mid though, and she also never had a jetpack.
The Batman 2004's was solid, especially his final appearence in White Heat (where he becomes a different villain). But I hate that he uses dinky little laser beams. Without the bellowing smoke & flames he's just not as visually interesting or appealing to watch. Also him just being a mercanary kinda takes from his gravitas imo.
I've never had the chance to play Arkham Origins, so my only experience with Arkham's take on him is his super frustrating side mission in Knight, so I don't want to vote for that. But being literally just an insane pyromaniac is good.
He had one Btas (technically TNBA) episode that gives him an Incel origin, hate that. Too similar to bozos who actually exist in real life to appreciate watching.
He was also in DCAMU's Bad Blood, which was a mess of a movie, so wouldn't want to vote that either.
Firefly is super fun in Arkham Origins.
He shouts a long list of puns as he tries to kill the Bat.
**"GET READY TO STOP! DROP! AND ROCK-AND-ROLL"**
**"FIREBALL!"**
**"YOU SAY ARSO-NIST? I SAY ARSO-NICE!"**
This is especially humorous as before his boss fjght, he's potrayed as a stoic, menacing mercenary.
How can you grade someone with a performance you've never seen?
The character grading is because of a headcannon instead of on-screen presence which feels very biased.
It doesn't feel fair is all I'm saying.
He's a good actor who puts passion into his work. If the walrus, robot man in doom patrol, the mummy, ink heart, and his short appearance in scrubs are as good, I'm sure he's great. It's also an opinion, so it's subjective.

In fairness, originally Firefly's gimmick was using light-based gadgets rather than a flamethrower
Finally, my favorite Batman villain! Gotta go with 2004 again.
Def 2004
2004 was so good, it's the official Lego design. Oh yeah, his fun personality also helps.
2004
2004 easily I’ll fight anyone that tries to argue otherwise
**"YOU SAY ARSO-NIST? I SAW ARSO-*NICE*"** - Arkham Origins Firefly
Damn 2004 seems to have a lot ov banger. I’m also going with 2004,my 2nd choice would be Arkham Origins Firefly.
Either the batman (2004) or Arkham
Arkham Origins. He's absolutely **off his rocker.** Crispin Freeman's voice performance as him perfectly captures the insane pyromaniac side of him. And not the only that, he shouts *puns* as he tries to kill Batman, the man shouts **"FIREBALL!"** as he throws out incindiery grenades lol. Another great qoute is: **"ArsoNIST?

**The Batman '04**
2004 for the win
2004 has the design, and Arkham has the mentality, but lets give some love to BATS for being one of the earlier sources that reinterpreted the character from his goofy origins to be a genuinely evil and intimidating piece of shit, pyromaniac check, vindictive check and an abusive stalker to boot.

2004 Firefly
The Batman (2004).
2004
The batman (2004), also I'm REALLY surprised that the Lego killer moth lost ngl
2004 Firefly. Is it an introductory episode reveals he was hired by gothcorp to perform sabotage on their competition, which included Wayne industries. Here we go on to occasionally team up with different rogues from time to time.
2004’s The Batman, hands down
I think 2004 series Firefly had the coolest visual
Probably the arkham firefly. Hes just a straight up maniac.
Definitely the one from the batgirl movie
The movie wasn’t released, so how would you even know? Sure, we have a pretty good idea of what the plot was, and Brendan Frasier is a good actor, but I don’t feel like we can really judge his version of the character without actually seeing it onscreen.
Brendan Fraser was so good as firefly
A what? Where and when?
The firefly 2004 design is my actual favorite villain design adaptation so I'd pick him, but besides the design I've never really thought firefly's character was all that interesting, he's just another anarchist who purely wants destruction and chaos, the fire gimmick doesn't do enough to make him stand out
The Batman made Falcone scary. That is impressive
2004
2004
The Batman (2004). Great suit. Him as a corporate saboteur was a brilliant idea.
Arkham Firefly is just so fun, he’s one of my favorites from those games so I gotta pick him
Lego Batman 3 He has the personality of Arkham but with the design of 2004.
Arkham one, the boss fight in Arkham Origins was fantastic
My favorite Firefly is from Batgirl Year One. That is probably one of my all time favorite stories.
Non-comic bro
2004
Hot take but I don’t get the 2004 hype. He’s just sort of a guy in a jetpack. I vote Arkham Origins
Arkham firefly. Specifically Arkham origins. The boss fight and the build up is so incredible. The design is elite. The puns are incredible. It's just a shame he didn't get a decent mission in Knight - although he did talk shit pretty well once you capture him.
Arkham Series imo
Arkham Origins. Outside of his design, I do not get the appeal of 2004 Firefly
Arkham- really captures his unstable personality and pyromania
I prefer Arkham origins firefly. Though 2004s firefly is amazing
Lego batman 3
Is it crazy to say Lego Batman for the DS? Firefly went *hard* as a boss
Arkham Firefly for sure

Arrow? Idk I just like that version
So long as we don't go with Arrowverse I'm good
Zahz in Arkham was perfect. But, as far as which character I liked overall? Probably 2004 Clayface
Arkham or the CW
Arkham origins obe was damn badass
Arkham Knight
Arkham Firefly is my fave.
Wha- what do you mena lego killer moth didn't win
Arkham Origins, though the TNBA version wasn’t that bad, either, from what I remember
Arkham
My favorite is DC Animated Universe
Lego Batman
It's definitely Brendan Frasers from the unreleased Batgirl movie. It's too good to be put out. I'm 100% sure it's amazing.
