Worst helmet would have to be the batwing helmet.  As for the "open face"
roman type one, it is used way too much and should not have been replacement
for grill helmet like it has been

Idunno.  The batwing helmet is the most villified helmet, but my only
problem is that is was too common on the Fright Knights sets.  I've got
about 20 guys with samurai armor, mounted on barded horses, with swirling
bat cloaks, bat banners, and batwing helmets (no batmobiles).  They look
pretty good.  I chop up a lot of the rest and make them look more like
viking spectacle helmets.  I don't like the Dragon helm in part because I'd
really like to see a proper gothic helmet with movable visor rather than
what we got.  Chopping off the crest gives only so-so results.  Guys I don't
like get the Dragon Helm.  :-)
