Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje Is Killer Croc

[matt47]

He looks great but I can't help but see him as a hybrid of The Lizard and Electro in these shots.

You've ruined Croc for me now

 

[Rowsdower!]

Croc looks fanf***ingtastic. Much better than I ever imagined he would look in a movie.

 

[TheDailyPigMan]

So what's the deal with Killer Croc? Is it a skin condition? Perhaps this was covered already. Do we think the film will portray his transformation differently? I never read any comics growing up and know nothing about Killer Croc...but reading up on Enchantress, is it possible that she uses her magic to give him his power/deformity?

 

[Gamma Goliath]

It'll likely be a condition/mutation. I really wouldn't want him to get his affliction from enchantress.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

He looks so creepy!

I love it.

That's fine, but if it's just a natural condition/mutation, then Killer Croc isn't really powerful, he'll just look weird. But if it's a spell from Enchantress, then I can see him being powerful.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Typically his super human strength and tough skin makes him pretty dangerous

How did he develop the mutation? I need a good story to believe his mutation causes super strength.

No stories, but Wikipedia does a damn good job of putting it in a nut shell

Killer Croc's backstory explains that he was born with a condition resembling epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, a disfiguring skin disorder. However, it is actually a form of regressive atavism, meaning that he has inherited traits of ancestral species of the human race such as reptiles. This condition has been augmented by the presence of a metagene. Consequently, he has several extraordinary physical abilities relating to his endurance, strength, and speed making him able to lift up to level of 20 tons with all his force.

His skin is hardened to the degree that it is nearly impenetrable to ordinary forms of abrasion including high caliber weapons fired from a distance. He possesses a degree of super strength; for example, he was able to tear a bank vault door off of its hinges with minimal effort. He has demonstrated regenerative powers allowing him to heal and restore lost limbs and teeth. He possesses superhuman reflexes and speed, especially while he is moving underwater. Killer Croc also has an enhanced sense of smell. Once he has become familiar with a person's scent he can track them from miles away. As his appearance and personality has grown more and more bestial, his misanthropy has increased dramatically. He is jealous and hateful of "normal" people and often lashes out violently without provocation. As a result of these feelings of jealousy, Croc will often entertain himself by grabbing a hold of small, pointy objects, as a source of comfort.

Croc's main weakness is consistently portrayed in most adaptations, aside from The Batman series, as being his low intellect. He typically resorts to brute force to solve most of his problems, allowing Batman to outmaneuver him in combat by thinking his way through the problems he faces in defeating the powerful Croc. Batman regularly describes his foe as an animal rather than a man. He acts almost solely on instinct and hardly ever takes the time to plan or rationalize his actions.

obviously his strength and abilities probably wont be as extreme as in the comics, but i think you'd get the gist.

[Loki882]

The current New 52 comics have depicted Croc as more intelligent (with the whole "King Croc" thing). He's no genius or anything, but he's also no idiot either.

 

[Wildcard]

This is badass, I can't even put into words just how much I love this design. t:

 

[Zordan]

A member of the New Zealand motorcycle gang The Mongrel Mob.

[jasontodd]

I love Croc being wheeled in with a mask on ala Hannibal Lector.
