Top 10 Greatest Batman Villains 

I'm not surprised that Joker is number one, but where the hell is Mr. Freeze?

Batman's greatest failure isn't Harvey Dent. It's Jason Todd.

I swear, Scarecrow is the most underrated Batman villain.

Killer croc? Mr freeze? Harley quinn? They should be in honorable mentions

Whos watching this without socks

Everybody knows the Joker was going to be number 1. It was so obvious.

Something I love about Batman’s villains is how they all represent or at least challenge qualities Batman has. Ra’s tests his fight ability, Riddler tests his intelligence, Joker tests his morals while Scarecrow represents his fear tactics, the Court of Owls represents his wealth and Bane both represents and challenges his physical strength.

Joker’s number one!! big surprise

JOKER is the best villain ever in both DC and marvel. No doubt.

Where's Joel Schumacher?

Scarecrow should have been way higher up.

Dr. Hugo Strange, Scarecrow and Ra's Al Ghul are pretty underrated

1. The Joker 2. Penguin 3. Two face 4. The Riddler 5. Harley Quinn 6. Bane 7. Scarecrow 8. Mr. Freeze 9. Poison Ivy 10. Death stroke Honorable mentions: Hugo strange, Mad Hatter, Ra's Al Ghul, Killer Croc (I didn't take cat woman into account because she's not a villain in my book)

Deadshot, deathstroke, clay face, killer croc?

Best villains of comics universes are the batman ones

who else knew number one was Joker before watching this

Mr Freeze deserves to be on this list.

we all know who number one is already hehe

Number one should be Joel Schumacher

That's good but where's the incredible CONDIMENT KING

Am I the only one who saw joker in number 1 million miles away

Where is mr freeze

Wtf??? Mr freeze, killer croc, clay face, HARLEY QUINN!!!!!!! Harley is awesome how could u leave her???

4:45 ”Batmans greatest failure” all comics readers know that Jason Todd is batmans greatest failure.

i clicked on this video knowing joker was and will always be number 1.

I've never heard so many people scream "WHERES HARLEY!?!?! WHERES HARLEY?!?!?" in my life. She wasn't on this list because she never was a huge threat to batman, she only did what would please her puddin. She is an exellent villain but it's explainable why she wasn't on here.

missing deathstroke , black mask , man bat , killer croc , harley ,clay face , deadshot, mr . freeze, mad hatter and red hood at least make a honorable mentions

Who’s here after watching Joker?

Scarecrow>Poison Ivy

I think scarecrow should be way higher

I absolutely refuse to believe that Bane was in the Dark Knight Rises. I just tell myself that they made up a completely new character and called him Bane to trick people into thinking they gave a shit. You can change his mask. You can give him that barely understandable voice. BUT IF YOU TAKE AWAY THE VENOM, YOU NO LONGER HAVE BANE. Also, that coat kind of reminds me of the one Hush wears. Maybe the role was originally for him and they just changed it to Bane at the last second.

Penguin no 7 WTF He should be at least in the top 4

The Joker is definitely the best villain of all time, both DC and Marvel

Batman and Spiderman have the best villians

I feel like Mr. Freeze should have been on the list, and Catwoman shouldn't be considered a villain since she's more of an anti-hero.

In terms of being Iconic, I think the Penguin, The riddler, Twoface and scarecrow should be higher than bane or ra's

I think the main reason why Batman's villains are often considered the best among superheroes villains is because Batman's villains bring a lot of human elements and character study to the table. With a lot of superheroes, they just fight their villains without getting to know who they really are, and there is not an emphasis on human emotions and psychology, just the big fights with lot of action and super-powers. With Batman, almost all his villains are interesting characters on their own: they have a personality, they display a variety of emotions, they have their motivations, they even have fears and psychological weaknesses. For Spider-Man, not many of his villains display that, except Green Goblin, Doc Ock and occasionally Venom. Who is Doc Ock ? What is his psychology, his fears, his motivations ? We don't really know, and even when we do, the show does not put the emphasis on that. For instance, Spider-Man's adventures rarely take the time to show the relationship between Kraven and his lover, or the effects of Doc Ock's infatuation with Aunt May. What makes Doomsday tick ? Does Doomsday sometimes fall in love ? The show is not interested to talk about that. In Superman, a lot of his villains are just powerhouses who want to become stronger or to destroy everything. It is not hard to see why Lex Luthor is always considered the best Superman villain and why he appears the most in Superman media: Luthor is a complete character, not a caricature like Darkseid. For Batman, you know a lot about what is inside the head of Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Two-Face, Freeze or the Riddler. You feel the pain of Harley's abuse, you see Ivy taking care of her plants, you see Two-Face's multiple personality disorder, you know Riddler is a narcissist. They display emotions and personality. They are not just there to fight Batman, they have their own life even when Batman is not around.

My Top 10: 10) Bane 9) Penguin 8) Two-Face 7) Deadshot 6) Mr. Freeze 5) Riddler 4) Poison Ivy 3) Scarecrow 2) Deathstroke Honourable Mentions: Dr. Hugo Strange, Killer Croc, Hush, Clayface, Black Mask, Firefly, Mad Hatter, Man-Bat, Ras al Ghul, Victor Zsasz & Ventriloquist. 1) The Joker

Scarecrow should be much higher smh!

Mr Freeze will always be one of my favorites.

Where was Harley, Mr Freeze, Clayface and Killer Crock? Few years gone by. Harley is shite, Freeze definitely should cos his story is so unique. Maybe not croc. Clayface ain’t bad tho. And Deathstroke should have

If Kite Man isn't #1, I'm going to be extremely disappointed.

people complaining that joker is number one... wasn't it fucking obvious he'd be 1st???

Professor Pyg and The Mad Hatter are two extremely underrated characters

That was easy... The Joker is the number one villain of any comic book list. I'm including DC, Marvel, Vertigo, etc. His main purpose is to do evil, he has no justifications for his actions. I guess the Joker is the comic book version of the devil.

my favorite batman villian? *SCARECROW*

Two face, Riddler, Penguin, Joker

my top 25 Batman foes 1. The Joker 2. Mr Freeze (Tied with Deathstroke if you consider him a batman villain) 3. Bane 4. Ra's al Ghul/Talia al Ghul 5. Scarecrow 6. Twoface 7. Hush 8. Killer Croc 9. Riddler 10. Penguin 11. Harley Quinn 12. Black Mask 13. Hugo Strange 14. Firefly 15. Deadshot 16. Court of Owl/The Talons 17. Poison Ivy 18. Manbat 19. Lady Shiva 20. Anarky 21. Clayface 22. Killer Moth 23. The Greatwhite Shark 24. Clue Master 25. Calendar Man

Mr. Freeze deserves an honourable mention at least.

I swear to god, Killer Croc is the most underrated villain in history. He has teeth and claws that can tear through body armour, he can breathe underwater, he is better than Bane in order of strength (Croc's strength is natural, Bane's is from a toxin he keeps attached to him), he rules the sewers of Gotham and is a professional wrestler and overall bad ass in general. He should be the main antagonist in a future Batman movie.

Top 10 Batman villains we want to see in a live action films.

I bet a million bucks that The Joker is number one.

he's not worthy of the top 10 but we can't forget deathstroke he's a beast

My Top 11 Batman villains. 11. The Scarecrow 10. Black Mask 9. Hush 8. Clayface 7. The Penguin 6. The Riddler 5. Bane 4. Mr. Freeze 3. Catwoman 2. Two-Face 1. The Joker Honorable Mentions: Dr. Hugo Strange, Ra's Ahl Ghul, Mad Hatter, Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, and The Ventriloquist & Scarface.

Interesting choice. Risky decision to put Ra's al Ghul all the way second. Very surprised to see an absence of one missing Mr Freeze!

My list 10.clayface 9. Poison ivy 8. Mr.freeze 7.the penguin 6.scarecrow 5.catwoman 4.two-face 3.Ra's al Gaul 2. Bane 1. The joker

Batman has the best villains of any comic hero hands down.....tons of depth, variation and so much more than your run of the mill doppelgangers with great psychological elements. I figured Hush would make the list but whatever.

My top 5: 5. Two face 4. Hugo Strange 3. Penguin 2. Scarecrow 1. Joker

Personally, Scarecrow is my favorite Batman villain. The Joker is a good villain, but also the most marketable. That is why he is always number one on these list.

I wish Christopher Nolan made a fourth batman and used the Riddler as the main villain. Nolan would've put a dark, crazy yet realistic spin on the character and i think the movie would've been amazing

in my opinion 1, Scarecrow 2. Penguin 3. Joker 4. Poison ivy 5. Cat Women

joker #1 how very predictable

Mad hatter: Exists WatchMojo: No, I don’t think I will.

Scarecrow should be higher, he should be like number 3

Really? Scarecorw is 10?!? da fuck watchmojo ._.

Where the actual fuck is Harley Quinn?

Scarecrow is my favorite especially from the arkham games

The joker is the best absolutely no one can beat him because he's crazy and funny

I haven't seen the video yet, but let me guess... Joker is first?

I think they should have had The Condiment King instead of The Joker at no. 1, and then the sound of Joker's laugh at the end.

I love how all of Batman’s main villains mirror batman himself in some way. Joker- he is an actual mirror of batman, bats is dark, serious and upholds order. Joker is bright, playful and represents chaos. Scarecrow- represents the fear batman uses as a weapon. Two-face- represents Batman’s duel persona as batman and Bruce Wayne. Penguin- represents Batman’s wealth and influence in Gotham. Mr freeze- represents Batman’s motivation, both characters are motivated by the loss, or possible loss of family as a reason to fight crime or turn to crime respectively. Bane- represents Batman’s strength. The riddler- represents Batman’s intelligence. Cat woman- represents Batman’s passion/compassion, mainly due to the romantic relationship they often share, which is rare for batman. Killer croc/man bat/killer moth/etc- meh I don’t know🤷‍♂️ they all like animals I guess😂 Hugo strange- represents Batman’s obsession with his work. Dead shot/deathstroke- represents Batman’s incredible skill. (More deadshot than deathstroke, since deathstroke is more of a teen Titans villain) Ras al Ghul- represents Batman’s determination and morality, both have dedicated their lives to their crusades and moral codes. Mad hatter- represents Batman’s insanity/mental issues, mad hatter is probably Batman’s most insane enemy. Sure you could argue maybe joker or scarecrow or whoever, but the mad hatter is barely a functioning person anymore, and has no capability for reason or logic left in him. Missed a few of his classic rogues, but I couldn’t come with anything different for them. If you’ve got any ideas, feel free to let me know. Oh wait, I forgot about Batman’s true archenemies... SUPERMAN yes, I made a Lego Batman movie reference, sue me

My favorite villain is Two Face

10. Poison Ivy 9. Scarecrow 8. Harley Quinn 7. Two-Face 6. Ra's al Ghul 5. Mr. Freeze 4. Bane 3. Riddler 2. Catwoman 1. The Joker

My top 10 list 10. Firefly 9. Two-Face 8. Bane 7. Deathstroke 6. Deadshot 5. Scarecrow 4. Mr Freeze 3. Man Bat 2. Killer Croc 1. Joker Honorable Mentions: Killer Moth Catwoman Ra's Al Ghul Penguin Hush Black Mask Victor Zsasz Harley Quin Clayface

Ras, Bane, Deathstroke, Killer Croc, Clayface could physically fight the Bat.

My personal favorite is The Riddler. I just like the way he really tests Batman's mind instead of his physical ability. Also, he sure is damn fun to cosplay as.

Where is harley Quinn ???!!

Spoiler, Joker's number 1. If you thought that was an actual spoiler then whats wrong with you? lol

In all my years of watching and reading Batman media, i have to say that the 3 best interpretations of Batman (outside of comics) are: The Animated Series Nolan Trilogy Arkham games

My List 1-10. Deez Nuts

Its purnounced Rhae-Shal-Gool

Scarecrow's my favorite kinda sad he was so low.

My favorite is Two Face. Especially Aaron Eckhart’s portrayal

10. Man Bat 9. Killer croc 8. The riddler 7. Professor Pyg 6. Scarecrow 5. Penguin 4. Mr Freeze 3. Bane 2. Court of Owls 1. Joker WHERE WERE THE COURT OF OWLS???

10 Scarface 9 Bane 8 The Penguin 7 The Riddler 6 Ra's Al Gul 5 Hugo Strange 4 Catwoman 3 Two-Face 2 Mr Freeze 1 Joker

To everyone who is complaining about Harley Quinn not being on this list. She isn't dangerous. At all. And about that "Mad Love" episode thats a one time thing, every villain nearly killed Batman. Joker could but he doesn't want to end the fun.

Dude I Honestly love the joker even more than Batman, and he’s my favorite hero.. but ever since I was a kid I kind of had the mentality of wanting it to be a tie and Batman not to win

I feel that this list is practically perfect. Joker will always be Batman's number 1, but the rest can always fluctuate amongst each other. I honestly wouldn't have changed one thing about this list. I was about to mention Mr. Freeze, but then I felt he didn't really belong on this list due to him not TRULY being a villain to Batman, but more of a haunted soul where his motives are for good, but his actions are not. Not nearly as bad as some of these guys here. As for Catwoman, I wouldn't call her a villain either, but at the same time, she has antagonized Batman enough in the past to fit in OR out of that category. All in all, great list!

4:43 I thought batman's greatest failure was Jason Todd?

Batman has so many great ones that wearnt even mentioned so they should have done top 20 Harley Quinn Mr. Freeze Zsazz Hush Killer Croc

1. joker 2. scarecrow 3. bane 4. catwoman 5. harley quinn 6. penguin 7. two face 8. riddler 9. poison ivy 10. ra's al ghul

heres my personal top 10 1. Mr Freeze 2. The Joker 3. Bane 4. Ra's al Ghul 5. Red Hood 6. Killer Croc 7. Scarecrow 8. Hush 9. Two Face 10. Black Mask

Catwoman isn't really a villain, she's an inconstant villain, who sometimes allies with Batman and really only steals from gangsters and mobs

I'm not on this list. You have pissed off the ICE MAN!!

Joker, Scarecrow, Riddler & Two-Face are the best villains. Ras Ah Guhl comes in 5th

What?! Scarecrow is placed at 10?! He should be at least around 5 or six,maybe 3 or 4.

Am I the only person who thinks Joker's overratted? Don't get me wrong, I think he's an awesome villain... Just not as awesome as everyone else makes him out to be. He's Batman's archrival and everything, so I understand putting him in games and movies, but would giving another one of Batman's long list of villains some screentime really be that bad? When Arkham Origins came out, I was happy to see that they were letting Black Mask take the spotlight for once, he's so underrated, he has the potential to be really cool! Then he showed up maybe three times and Joker just came in and started running the show again, and that's why I didn't like that game, not because it was bland or had alot of bugs, but because they decided to play it safe and just throw Joker at us again. Sorry to rant, I just want to see something Batman-related that doesn't praise Joker like he's the coolest thing ever, that's all. ... Also, noticeable lack of Mr. Freeze on this list ...

So, Deathstroke gets no love right???

Catwoman is a anti hero not villain. Better to swap her to deathstroke.

Here is my list -_- (It's all because you didn't put Harley in the list): 10. Riddler 9. Scarecrow 8. The Mad Hatter 7. Two-Face 6. Poison Ivy 5. Clayface 4. Mr. Freeze 3. Harley Queen 2. Bane 1. Joker
