Favorite Batman villain?

[crounsa810]

Got the idea from the Fantastic 4 thread.


My personal favorite is Two Face. His background and the reason he became the way he is, the way he relies on chance. His character is just awesome.

And please, don't base it off the movies, because as we all know, the movies until Nolan took over were pretty bad, well except the Tim Burton ones.

Joker and Ras.

Black Mask is decent.

Batman has the greatest villains.

Batman Forever was decent at worst.

Not the retarded muscle head depicted in that abomination 'Batman and Robin'. Bane was really intelligent, cunning, and ****ing broke Batman's back.

And of course...

Azrael aka Jean Paul Valley as Batman (when Batman came back to get his cowl forcefully becuase Azrael had gone insane becoming Batman and started killing villians)

I loved his alternate custom after he became good again and his own comic came to life...

Bane (especially after we got beat by Azrael and came off the super-soldier serum Venom)

Great pick!

[pete's montreux]

I'm gonna have to go with the Joker.

One of the creepiest Batman villains. I think it's feasible to see him as a side-villain in Batman 3 (if it gets made).

[DonDadda59]

Great pick!

Same to you, I had that Knightfall series when I was younger. Azrael was a bad dude, especially how he handled Bane. That was quality :cheers:

[crounsa810]

It wasn't as bad as Batman & Robin, but it still was really bad. Made me feel like I was watching 1960s Batman

Yep. I still have Azrael #1, Robin #1 from around the time that happened. Including the whole Knightfall and Knight's End series.

It definitely is getting made. Rumors said filming might begin this year in the summer (although I doubt it). Also Johnny Depp has been rumored as the Riddler, which I think is an awesome pick for the character. The rumored title of the film is "The Caped Crusader"

[knickballer]

Scarecrow anyone??

I thought both were cool when I was a kid. Although looking at it now I don't like it. I still like the Azrael costume.

Choosing the Joker was just far too cliched:confusedshrug: imo...

[wang4three]

I was kinda partial to Mr. Freeze.

[crounsa810]

I miss the animated series. None of the cartoons they have on now can come close to that and the Superman series, & Justice League series. Those were awesome shows. Still are.

[crounsa810]

I do have to say I'm surprised no one has said the Riddler yet.

He's my 2nd favorite. Really hoping Johnny Depp is cast as him in the next movie b/c it would finally be a Riddler done right.

Jim Carey was good, but he made Riddler seem gay.

Damn, I never thought the picture I chose would be that freaking big!

Hopefully the next pic isn't humogonous.

[Dasher]

Ras al Ghul, The Penguin, Rupert Thorn, Carmine Falcone, and Sal Maroni. I like the mob bosses. The cartoonish super villains don't interest me much.

[pete's montreux]

Ras Al Ghul is as much a cartoonish super-villian as anyone else.

and the Joker is not cartoonish at all. He is one sick, sadistic son-of-a-b*tch.

[Dasher]

The Joker is just lame. I would have killed him a long time ago, and moved the hell on. Ras has a higher calling. He is a patriot in the cause of The Earth itself. He should be applauded for his cause.

[pete's montreux]

Stopped reading after I saw the Joker and lame in the same sentence.

They all have a pretty realistic story as to how they came to be, of course with the exception of R'as al Ghul. Every Batman character could realistically exist in the real world and that is part of what makes Batman so great

Joker is a piece of crap, and would have been killed by me a long time ago. The mobsters and Ras, The Penguin, are the only good villains in the Batman Rogue's gallery.

HA!

Joker would've knocked you out with his fake flower thing and then killed you.

You severely underestimate the Joker.

but I think Dasher is only saying these things to piss people off, because clearly you know a good deal of comics and you know what the Joker is capable of.

I don't understand; wouldn't Batman himself be considered cartoonish? If your criteria for a good villain is based on realism, why do you allow a pass for the main protagonist?

if he wants realism, he shouldnt be looking towards superhero comics. what was he expecting, the great gatsby?

yeah i remember it, from around 1993?, it's kinda ugly.

yeah, the 90's redesigned alot of classic costumes to fit the "edgy" and "extreme" attitude of those days. glad they are over.

I want the 90s back, but I agree the designs they had were pretty terrible
