Like Red Claw, Hella was generic and forgettable. (Also ugly design.)
A poster after my own heart. Thanks.
King Tut's lady friend.
Something could be done with Black Widow.
Calamity Jan? Worked with Shame? Or someone else?
Carnivora - Catwoman foe
Crazy Quilt - SSoSV
Crime Doctor - SSoSV
Echo was too tragic. A Russian agent who could not turn off her telepathy. I always wished she would find peace. I also preferred the Echo who was a Riddler henchwoman.
Ferak was a Poison Ivy creation.
The female Getaway Genius was Roy Reynolds' daughter.
In Batman '66, I liked Lady Penelope but she needs to marry again (or change her last name). Nothing can be done with Peasoup.
Don't forget her niece Lady Prudence Ffogg.

Well, there was apparently a "Calamity" who was once an assassin trained by David Cain that appeared in Solo #10 (2006) in a story featuring Stephanie Brown as Robin and Cassandra Cain as Batgirl.
During the New 52, there was a new Calamity: Sybil Silverlock, who had uncontolled powers of fire. She was the mother of Olive Silverlock, who was one of the main characters in the recent Gotham Academy books.
Roxy Rocket definitely needs more love
Baby Doll, though I think she's best as a one and done. I didn't like how they brought her back in TNBA, as I like to think she got help after her first appearance and successfully reformed. The ending of that episode was more emotionally powerful than anything in the Nolan trilogy.
Dragon Fly, Tiger Moth and Silken Spider
Scorpiana
Dala, brought back along with the Monk
I didn’t dislike Hella, but she hasn’t had much characterization, so there’s an opportunity there to develop her. I didn’t hate her design either, but I’d definitely simplify it.
The Calamity i was referring to was Sybil Silverlock i hadn't heard of the David Cain ally.
A few more i thought of...
Carpenter (Jenna Duffy)
NoBody (Maya Ducard)
Scarab (Maat Shadid)
I'm a huge fan of Ratcatcher.
There was someone hanging around in the sort of No Man's Land era, Narcosis or something like that... I felt that wasn't explored enough.
Oh cool, no, I've never read Mother Panic
I am so glad this thread and the Bette Kane thread are getting the love they deserve. I sometimes felt very alone in my adoration of Bat-Girl and bad gals.
Now that we have a good sized list of villainesses, what would you like to see them do?
How do you envision/empower/revitalize any of the dangerous dames presented here? (It may not happen...but it's fun to talk about!)
P.S.
I know I'm repeating what Wonder Scott said in the first post of this thread. But I am really enjoying this and want it to continue.

The Widow Black
The Black Widow is simply too marvelous. The Widow Black is not.
Mrs. Maximilian Black - a.k.a. Widow Black - could easily fit into the Bat Mythos. Keeping with the reversal, I envision her clad in red clothes with black hourglass symbols. I do not imagine her as Caucasian. From there, the character could go in several directions: from a hypnotist to spidery-powers. I have difficulty deciding a direction for her.
I can say I was truly disappointed in the Batman ’66 appearance. She was an egomaniac with a Halloween costume...and very unimpressive. I did like the giant spider named Tallulah.
