Circus of Strange is a fictional organization appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.

Publication history

[edit]

The Circus of Strange first appeared in Batman and Robin #1 (August 2009), and were created by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely.

Fictional team history

[edit]

The Circus of Strange is a criminal group led by Professor Pyg which first became known to Batman and Robin when they captured one of its members, Mister Toad.[1][2][3][4][5] When the Circus of Strange members Big Top, Phosphorus Rex, Siam, and the Dollotrons storm the Gotham City Police Department, Batman and Robin help to fight them; four police officers were killed and six other police officers were injured. During a training exercise, Robin is captured by the Dollotrons.[6] Batman discovers that Pyg is planning to make specific people into his Dollotrons. When Robin regains consciousness, he meets Pyg, who prepares to transform him into a Dollotron. When Batman arrives, Robin breaks free and helps to defeat Pyg.[7]

Following The New 52 continuity reboot, the Circus of Strange members are shown to be a part of Leviathan.[8]

Members

[edit]
  • Professor Pyg - The leader of the Circus of Strange.
  • Big Top - A bearded fat lady who wears a tutu.
  • Dollotrons - The brainwashed, doll-masked minions of Professor Pyg and the Circus of Strange.[9]
  • Mister Toad - A toad-like member of the Circus of Strange.
  • Phosphorus Rex - A pyrokinetic member of the Circus of Strange.[10] An alternate version of Rex appeared in Batman in Bethlehem.[11]
  • Kushti - Conjoined triplets who are members of the Circus of Strange.

Members of the Circus of Strange appear in Beware the Batman, but not as a group. Professor Pyg (voiced by Brian George) and Mister Toad (voiced by Udo Kier) are depicted as eco-terrorists. Phosphorus Rex (voiced by Greg Ellis)[12] is depicted as a lawyer named Milo Match who works for Tobias Whale.
