Sam, I don't think Rasputin was a Batman villain...
I got Druul's reference to the mad monk of the Czars, and he went on to reference
Ras al-Gul, who if you don't know, was/is a near-immortal power-hungry megalomaniac
Batman villain of the 1st order. My comment was that Putin's first name was the same as
Dracula's, who isn't any kind of angel either, not by a long shot.

Oh, and I seem to recall there once was a run-in between old Bats and
Rasputin during the long run of the
Batman comics, but don't hold me to it.
