Notes:
-Solomon Grundy is too not-Batman-mythos for me to list, he's challenged the JLA at many times, so hard to know where to place him anyway

I'd definitely reclassify some. KGBeast for send Robin? KGBeast almost killed Robin. He was a major threat in his first few appearances. As a major crime boss, I'd move Black Mask up a notch. And Anarky as a major threat? Granted, I haven't read a lot of his stories, and certainly not his new52 stuff, he seemed to be more of an annoyance than a grand threat on the level of Deathstroke or Bane.

You both forgot Penguin. Maybe he's not that big threat then
