[Scott Taylor]

Kite-Man, of course.

Kite-Man's got nothing on Condiment King! None shall be able to get the stains out of their clothes when he's done with them!

After Joker probably comes Bane.

Ahead of the Joker, on the other hand ...

From the original post (back in August 2017):

I think most of us can agree that Joker is Batman's best villain.

I've seen multiple polls on the net, but these results were never concluding. Sometimes Two-Face, sometimes Ra's, Bane, Riddler or Catwoman. So, another poll might reinforce someone's claim to the throne.

I personaly think it's the Riddler or Bane. I voted Riddler because objectively, I think he's more consistent than Bane.

I'll put Catwoman even tho I think she's now more of an anti-hero, but I want to give the option to those who think otherwise.


There you have it! Who's the second biggest ?

Try being objective in your analysis !

Just wait until he breaks out the Sriracha! Oooo that stings.

Two Face is great, but Scarecrows past with bullying makes him interesting to me. One of those situations where if one thing had gone differently there would be no Scarecrow.

I struggle to understand Ra's Al Ghul's popularity. I've read each of his considered "good" stories and I still don't get it. I have many friends who don't read comics and they know who Penguin, Two-Face, Mr Freeze, Bane, Joker, Scarecrow, Riddler and Catwoman are, but never Ra's.

Dudes a bond villain

Egghead.

For sure.

[TheRay]

The mob/gangster rogues are good, but they need padding in their stories to become true contenders.

With 139 people having voted,

* Ra's Al Ghul = 46 votes (+1)
* Two-Face = 28 votes (appropriately, +2)
* Riddler = 20 votes (+2)
* Bane = 14 votes
* Penguin = 7 votes
* Scarecrow = 6 votes
* " Others " = 5

All other choices still have fewer than five votes each.
But Catwoman is currently at 4 votes.

[Scott Taylor]

Ra's has got the benefit of being the main villain in the Nolan trilogy. Still its interesting that he is winning, when his role seems to have diminished quite a bit for many years in the comics now.

Is it weird that I think Batman's Rogue's Gallery is probably one of the best Rogue's Gallery in all of comics (right up there with Spider-Man's), but really don't consider any individual villain a particular favorite? I mean, I would've said Catwoman, but she's not even a villain anymore.

[TheRay]

Man Bat and She Bat make for good opponents because Batman knows/feels that they’re innocents and purposefully holds back against them.
