    He should just be a crocdile.

    Not even, like a giant talking crocodile, just a regular crocodile who just happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. There's a bank robbery and the crocodile just happens to crawl in there. Nobody realizes he's just a crocodile so all the civilians are like "OH NO IT'S KILLER CROC!" and the robbers are like "LETS GET OF OF HERE!"

    Then the crocodile's just laying there underneath the skylight soaking up sun when Batman shows up. They wrestle for 10 pages and send him to Arkham and keep flushing him down the toliets.

    Yes. And Clayface should just be a piece of clay pottery that happens to be at the crime scene. And Mr. Freeze should be a tray of ice cubes. And Poison Ivy should be a patch of grass at the murder site.

    I always felt like Croc needs to be Batman's most physically dangerous foe, last I heard he was outclassed by Bane wich is sad since Bane got a massive intellect + other things at his disposal so physical superiority should really be Croc's thing, couple with his regeneration and some stealth elements like in Arkham Asylum he could be one badass and dangerous villain. Grundy is allowed to be stronger since he is not only a bat villain.

    The first step DC should make in order to make Croccool would be to stop writing him has a fool and an easy takedown for Batman. I agree with the others that say Arkham Asylum had the right idea, but I am not so sure it would work in a comic setting. Making him bigger than Bane was a good start, it makes him physically imposing, the problem however is keeping him interesting by not giving him stupid reasons to catch Batman's eyes. Him busting out of Arkham and retreating to the sewers before jumping people to eat would get old fast. The recent Batwoman issue seemed to do something interesting with him.
