Favorite Batman villains?

[marhawkman]

hmmm Batman's true worst enemy? Bruce Wayne.

I feel like the Scarecrow has really jumped to first-tier villain in the past 15 years or so, especially in other media, which is now reflected in the comics. I've always enjoyed him, so I'm onboard.

I think it started in Arkham Knight, but now Titans also has him as a major antagonist. I like him there, even if it's a slightly unorthodox approach. Out of everything in that show, he seems to work well.

Why?

What kind of question is that?
Truthfully your list is pretty limited. Batman has one of the biggest rogues galleries out there, by comparison this list is downright puny.

Dude, have you ever made a poll here?

Try it, then talk to me about "puny".

OR just get out the giant tome of every Bat-Villain ever and drop it on him.

It's such a massive book only Superman, or Bat-god can lift it.

Then maybe don't get snippy when other villains are mentioned outside of the ones you listed? It probably would have made more sense to just make this a thread instead of a poll, then maybe you wouldn't have felt the need to attack people who disagreed with you.

Well, you had asked if no one wanted to mention She-Bat. I think his response was more along the lines of "Why would anyone have mentioned She-Bat, quaternary villain?" rather than "Why would you mention a villain not on the poll?"

Had you mentioned Black Mask, for example, the response would have been different.

He could have been more explicit, then. Besides it's not that far out of bounds since Man Bat is worth mentioning and she is his wife.

[exile001]

I went for Joker, Hugo Strange and Riddler.

Oh, 2014 me. If only you knew how sick you'd get of Joker. Lol.

Look you're the one who comes up with things like

Where's the Mad Monk? He'd be my pick.

and

No one wants to mention She Bat?

By the way, my response to that last one was:

Why?

Also, it depends on which version you're talking about.

Before the New 52, she wasn't really a "villain" as much as someone who just had no control when she was in that form.

So if you read my explanation, I'm puzzled as to why you think that was "snippy".

Heck, I sometimes have problems thinking of Man-Bat as a "villain" because he was also portrayed as a hero often in the pre-New 52 stories.

Look you're the one who comes up with things like

and Neither of those things have anything to do with anything. In fact, pointing them out makes your overall point more confusing.

So, you admit your "why" didn't make any sense at all and shouldn't have been there. By your own admission, based on what you bolded, the only point you were making was that you don't think she's a villain. Which is a completely separate point and didn't really need to quote me to be said. I did read your explanation, it just didn't make any sense at all without you providing more context, that's why it was snippy.

[MajorHoy]

So, you admit your "why" didn't make any sense at all

I never said that.
(I also didn't say the stuff you inserted in yellow when you "quoted" me.)

and shouldn't have been there.

Why not?

Since you had expressed displeasure at what I had previously said, I felt it would be beneficial to point out exactly what I said in reply to your post, so quoting what you said also seemed necessary.

I did read your explanation, it just didn't make any sense at all without you providing more context, that's why it was snippy.

My saying she wasn't really portrayed as a villain in the past before the New 52 didn't make any sense?

A bunch of backpedaling and excuses? How about just admitting you were wrong and moving on?
So stop trying to pretend you weren't being snippy when each time you respond you just get snippier, further driving the point home for me.

I've got a simpler solution.

[TheRay]

Nothing could be simpler than what I suggested.
