Talk:Killer Croc

More out-of-control labeling

There is nothing in this article (or, to my knowledge, in the comics) to suggest that he is a terrorist or a cannibal. Also, the article clearly states that he is legally sane, precluding him from having mental illness, or from being a psychopath or a sociopath. Learn what these labels actually mean before ascribing them to a character. --Treybien 16:50 May 17 2006 (UTC)

• Wrong on a number of counts. The character has been depicted as being committed to Arkham Asylum, and has eaten both living and dead human flesh. The terms "psychopath" and "sociopath" easily apply to Croc, since entire point of the character is that he thinks with what we refer to as the "reptilian brain". And on top of all that, it's nonsense to say that being deemed "legally sane" precludes one from having mental illness, certainly not sociopathy--jails are full of these types of people. You have a good deal to learn yourself, it would seem.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.22.210.129 (talk) 13:31, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

There isn't enough info detailing the exploits of Killer Croc. For instance, do you know that he nearly killed Batman on one occasion? Yes...He Threw a Rock at Him! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.90.68.64 (talk) 06:49, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

He is an mutant!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.164.51.164 (talk) 21:22, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

"meaning that he has inherited traits of ancestral species of the human race, such as reptiles." Reptiles are absolutely in no way ancestors of humans. Well, maybe in the DC universe they are, but is there any evidence that this is true even there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.22.125.33 (talk) 16:45, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Ichthyosis

I find it strange they never name the disease that croc is supposed to have. batman comics are usually grounded in at least a faint bit of reality. anyone know if Ichthyosis was ever linked to croc's unfortunate condition? Scott Free (talk) 23:11, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Never mind...I see it is Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. Scott Free (talk) 23:14, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Unauthorized Deleting

I like looking at these pages and noticed that this page had all of its images deleted and Scarecrow had its images and over half of its content deleted. Can someone explain? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.92.174.248 (talk) 23:01, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

First appearance?

There seems to be some confusion as to Croc's first appearance. The Unofficial Guide to the DCU lists it as being Detective Comics #523 (February 1983), one month earlier and in a different title than the article currently states. A few other sites on the net support this. I'm guessing that he probably has a cameo appearance in this issue, shrouded in shadow. Does anyone know for sure? Or do I need to track down an old copy of this issue (or Who's Who in the DCU #5)? --GentlemanGhost (talk) 01:49, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

I just read Detective Comics #523 and Killer Croc does appear in that issue shrouded in a trench coat and hat. But he is referred to by name. In addition, in Batman #357, which is listed as his first appearance in this article, he still appears in trench coat and hat. His face isn't seen until Detective Comics #524, which was released two weeks after Batman #357. Because he appears in Detective Comics #523, and is referred to by name, I think that can be considered the first appearance. --Missile test (talk) 20:06, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Missing Publication History

This article is missing the character's publication history. Since this the character is from a comic book there should be plenty of information on the character's publication history added to the bulk of the article.--Paleface Jack (talk) 01:03, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Graffiti Edits

I’m sure whoever decided to replace ‘Croc’ with ‘Cock’ is very proud of themselves and will be patting themselves on the back for this hilarious joke until the sun burns out, but next time, can you at least space it out from the next word? Dealing with that somehow got even more annoying than the edit itself. 2603:9001:7300:1A82:1478:F6FE:B317:ACF1 (talk) 22:13, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
