Burt Weston is a wannabe actor who dreams of getting a big break by playing quirky villains, because those kinds of villains were rich. When each of his plans failed, he faked his death similar to the movie The Sting.

Years later, he committed every crime known in films and the Gotham Newspapers dubbed him Film Freak. One of his signatures was a pair of earrings in the shape of film cans. When a reporter named Julia Pennyworth discovered his identity, Film Freak stalked her in a manner similar to the movie Psycho. Film Freak began to murder his fellow associates and is tracked down by Detective Harvey Bullock and Batman.

During Knightfall, The Mad Hatter controlled Film Freak and used him to spy on and kill Bane. When Bane discovered Film Freak, Bane killed him.
