Killer Moth
Moth and his henchmen became my favorite Batgirl rogue... from Babs' earliest days.
Killer Moth panel from DETECTIVE COMICS #566, "Know Your Foes".

You know...Killer Moth was never supposed to be some ULTIMATE threat to Batman... He, like The Eraser is basically a support villain (Charaxes be damned). You do your scheme, hire Killer Moth and if Batman shows up, you leave while Killer Moth tangos with the bat (It not mattering if he was defeated or not). Methinks it'd be worth exploring a story where all Killer Moth is, is a distraction for the Gotham heroes. Does he get bailed out? Broken out?
Have no idea what comic this image is from or who the artist is but I like it.

It's weird but I really loved the design of Killer Moth during Jeff Lemire's "Green Arrow" run (one of the better New 52 runs).
Remember that time in Arkham Asylum game when they tried to make Killer Moth scary by hanging a cocooned corpse of his victim as an Easter Egg? Don't know how I feel about that
