You forgot to add Firefly,Killer Croc, Man-Bat, Deathstroke (though I agree that he is not always associated with Batman ), and Deadshot

As per the original post for this thread (from back in 2014),

For the poll, I tried to come up with fifteen foes of Batman who I felt may prove interesting to choose from, but of course there are many others that some people may prefer. For the poll, pick your favorites, but feel free to name more who may have been left off the list in separate posts.

Also, Catwoman is on this list even though sometimes she is an ally (but may be going back to "isn't" these days), and "Clayface" is also on there, though there have been a few people in the past who have been called by that name. (I believe the most recent Clayface is Basil Karlo, the original person to use that name, but with the powers of Matt Hagen, the second Clayface.)

Second, have you ever tried making a poll on the forums here?

I’m doing a Rebirth Bat-book read through, and wondering if I should include Priest’s Deathstroke run as part of the Bat family of titles?

I honestly have Joker fatigue after the last several years.

I’d do Hugo Strange, Mr. Freeze and Riddler.

I’ve had Joker fatigue since the 90’s. I understand he’s iconic, but so many writers don’t know what to do with him.

I have liked Ignatius Ogilvy very much during new 52. Has he reappeared since Rebirth?

[Dr. Skeleton]

I'm torn between the Riddler, Penguin, and Two-Face. I chose Riddler, but love the other two guys as well.

[The no face guy]

I'm happy to see that I am not the only one who is sick of the Joker, he's become so overused and boring, I think it's time to let some other villains take the top spot.

I picked...

1) The Riddler - Because he's so brilliant, I find that it takes a smart writer to write a really good Riddler story, but when they pull it off, it's genius.

2) Scarecrow - I have always liked him, psychological fear with a creep factor.

3) Two Face - My other favourite, the first Batman comic I ever owned featured Two Face

4) Poison Ivy - Long time fan, going back to Poison Tomorrow

5) Penguin - You know years ago he would not have been on my list, but....with most of the Batman villains either being sociopathic or deeply disturbed, it's nice to just have a regular criminal in the mix.

You missed Killer Croc, I would have put him on my list.

My favorites: Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Riddler, Mr Freeze, Clayface and Mad Hatter.

I favor villains who re sympathetic and with a possibility of turning good.

Joker is over exposed now and turned into a one trick phoney now. Harley is overexposed. She is good but I'm one of the rare B:TAS who didn't come out of the show enamored by her.
