* [[DC Comics]]' current [[Dork Age]] appears to support this belief, as several villains have been reinvented in disgusting ways to increase their popularity. [[The Joker]] went from the joke-themed villain he'd been in the [[Silver Age]] back to his originallyoriginal characterization as a murderous psycho, getting away with things like crippling [[Batgirl]] or killing Robin because of his [[Joker Immunity]]; Doctor Light, once one of DC's dorkiest villains, was reinvented as a rapist in ''[[Identity Crisis]]''; Killer Moth was turned from a garish masked villain into a cannibalistic moth-man by a [[Deal with the Devil]]; the list goes on and on.
