Thinking sideways, the greatest “villain” the Bat has faced is probably Arkham Asylum. The building itself is a hub of the most evil, crazy people and a potent cocktail of sheer badness.

1. Bane. Not the film Bane but rather the super charged comic Bane that broke The Bat.
2. The Killing Joke Joker
3. Golden Age Joker
4. Heath ledger’s Joker
3. Croc – an early protoype Bane

It’s a toss up between The Joker and Catwoman.
The Joker makes evil look effortless and however twisted the lengths he goes, his motivation is born of a certain kind of bitterness we can all relate to. That sort of vulnerability is a villain’s strength, because we all get taken in by it.

Catwoman might just be an Eartha Kitt thing. She made being bad look so good, and got away with doing it clad head to toe in patent leather and stilettos. She’s the perfect antidote to every comics token ‘damsel in distress’ .

My favourite Batman villian would have to be Poison Ivy. Her main goal is to eliminate enemies of the environment and nothing will get in her way to achieve this, including the Justice League. She uses her botany knowledge and intellect as well as her super powers to fight for what she wants.

What more can we ask for? She has the brains, the super powers, the body and the deadliest kiss of all!

My top three comic book villains of all time reads as follows:

1. The Joker
2. The Nazis
3. The rest

I think you can probably guess what my answer is. There isn’t a villain anywhere else in comic book folklore with the same mix of charisma, irreverence and menace.

Heroes are made by their villains – literally in this case, if you take the first movie (and a lot of the early comic stuff) as gospel. Batman and The Joker are just two-sides of the same coin.
