Also sidenote; I never really quite got the change of heart Poison Ivy had.

[@marcelosoares7148]

Riddler is a broken man because he always loses to Batman, so he always takes it to the extreme because he's super mentally ill, I think Arkham Knight gives some insights on that. For Poison Ivy, she did for the plants, not for the humans. Even the militia men say that if she had survived the battle, she would've turned on Batman the second she was powerful enough to strike and potentially destroying the whole city considering how powerful the plants Batman found were.

Zsasz can easily have his kills counted in the Arkham City model. They tally three hundred something and four. Out of favouritism, I want to put the Riddler higher. His death traps are designed intentionally to kill as there is literally no way through or out unless you have Batman’s equipment, and then you are cheating (according to Riddler). He is also big on torturing his victims. Arkham City saw them walking around for hours unable to stop, lest they explode and die. That is a lot worse than straight up killing. Survivors are going to need a lot of therapy after dealing with the Riddler.

@thebatman9309 Yeah, Arkham Harley is probably not just a love-sick goon who commit crimes & some bad actions for Joker, but seems like a downright horrible person in her own right.

[@2gredvisions8560]

You do realize that Jason committed aiding and abetting a renowned criminal with enacting terrorism and bioterrorism upon a city, right? And he did this by retroactively commanding the assisting mercenary group (for which he founded) for said terrorism, and even willingly aided with manning and activating the main chemical weapon, the Cloudburst, during the incedent. He also had two accounts of kidnapping with Barbara Gordon and Nora Fries. EDIT: Apparently from Arkham Knight's files, it indicated that Jason was also the hooded smoking man at Pauli's Diner who released the fear toxin causing many of the customers to hallucinate and begin attacking one another. So in a sense, he also contributed in instigating mass murder 😅.

[@PLUTOXGOAT]

​@@2gredvisions8560 You realise that's the Arkham knight. Not counted as Jason Todd, on this occasion. Look at the video, Jason Todd and Arkham Knight are used as two different characters in this instance. So I'm going by that.

@@PLUTOXGOAT That is true. It's kinda weird that Game Den chose to separate Jason Todd from Arkham Knight when they're essentially the same character 😅.

@@2gredvisions8560 Yeah lol The video ranked Jason Todd and Arkham knight separate so I went by that.

Edit: Yeah, weird doing poison Ivy separate, but I think maybe because it's easier to rank them from different games, cause she literally tried to kill Batman in Arkham asylum and take over Gotham a year before Arkham asylum took place (This is Mentioned in game dialogue by Batman) And then in Arkham knight she technically sacrificed herself saved the whole city, so it would be hard to rank her overall in that way💀🤣

[@NotIn_Love]

Pretty interesting list. I feel like the most accurate way to rank the villains on this list is not by basing their wickedness on their crimes but on their motivation. Undoubtedly Joker is the most evil character in the Arkham-Verse but I feel like characters such as Two-Face have been ranked too high on this list. Sure, he mainly cares about money and will put a bullet in anyone who stands in his way but his actions are based on his coin, meaning he has a 50/50 chance to let you go as opposed to characters like Black Mask. Characters like Ra's and Dr. Strange are also wicked but they still have a sense of justice and their goal is to better society through their own horrific methods (it can be argued that Strange only does things for his selfish reasons) which is why I wouldn't rank them that high. It will take too long to give my analysis on every character but personally I feel like Victor Zsasz is the most evil character on this entire list. Zsasz is literally obsessed with killing people and if you are his target, he won't stop until he gets that tally mark. Characters like the Riddler or Penguin are childsplay compared to how dark he is.

[@keegobricks9734]

Yeah I take some issue with the list too. There are people who are otherwise good but slip up and do things they shouldn't do, like the Fire Chief, the Warden, Det. Bullock. There are people who do bad things for good reasons, sorta, like Hugo and Ras, Victor Fries. Then you have people who do bad things but still have some structure and goal in mind, such as mobsters, Bane, Penguin, Roman Sionis, who largely stay out of the public's way. Then you have people who don't care if they hurt people to get what they want, like Riddler, Deathstroke, firefly. Then you have people who WANT to hurt people, that is their entire goal, like Pyg, Zsasz, Calendar man, Mad Hatter. Albeit, some of them are so mentally deranged it could be argued they aren't fully to blame, but still, they do what they do.

[@NotIn_Love]

@@keegobricks9734 Exactly. That is the criteria I would have used to rank the villains. If you rank them solely on their actions then by that logic Batman should have been one of the highest on the list since he beats up mentally disturbed individuals. Motivation is one of the most important aspects to differentiate good from evil.

[@GrandSenseiDarreth]

I think I do mostly agree but Strange is still a complete sicko. He tried to murder thousands and while most might have been criminals, plenty were political prisoners and chances are that only a handful of criminals in the city had ever killed anyone. He even had the plan to continue his killing spree if he succeeded in Arkham. Him and Ra’s completely deserve the top tier.

[@Latitz]

I can't believe we still haven't gotten proper live action version of him like he is in this game where bodycount is all that matters to him. What i've seen him in Gotham, Birds Of Prey and Batman Begins he has been more of a henchmman/assassin than serial killer.

[@ConkerTS]

You make some good points, but I wonder about Zsasz being evil. His actions are certainly evil, beyond question, but he claims to believe that by killing people he is setting them free from the pain of their existence, and that he is doing good for them. So perhaps in his own utterly insane way, his morality is good, though of course his actions are hideously evil. That said, though, Zsasz does seem to take pleasure in killing his victims, and seems to boast about killing them (especially in the comics), which does make it seem like it's the act of killing that he cares about, and not so much about freeing people from their painful and unhappy lives, so perhaps his "I kill people to save them from their pain" is just a lie, either that he tells himself, or that he tells the doctors in the hope that they will think that he is insane rather than evil. Certainly we never see Zsasz do or say anything that might hint that he does actually care about anyone, be they his intended victims or anyone else.

[@mediamanjamessmith251]

Game Den: “Poison Ivy, the first of many characters appearing multiple times…” Did you forget Barbara is in “Downright Flawless” twice?

[@luksterr1997]

Honestly the only 2 things I would change: 1.make zsasz the biggest evil. He might not have killed as many as others like scarecrow but he literally kills people just to cut himself bc their lives are meaningless. That plus him finding pleasure in it. Scarecrow at least tries to attack Batman through others for the most part. Zsasz just kills to kill. And 2. I would switch calender man and croc. Calender man premeditated every single one of his kills to every holiday. He doesn’t care, once a holiday hits he will kill just to kill. I would move croc one lower bc of the reason you gave for man bat and Grundy. Grundy and man bat really have no idea what they’re doing. Their mind isn’t in control. That’s similar to croc. He still has his mind but as time went on (from origins to knight) he went from just a villain to basically a talking crocodile. He’s slowly losing his mind and is losing control of his body

[@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470]

You omitted that Zsasz has a tragic backstory. He is very evil don't get me wrong but you are leaving out the fact that unlike many other villains he actually had a backstory behind why he is the way he is. Calender Man is far worse than him and has a higher kill count, but without any tragedy that made him the way he is.

[@thegrayone5666]

​@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470 I'd be curious if that backstory puts anything in prospective. It's going to be really hard to give that one anything. He kills because lives are meaningless. Anyone else doesn't matter. By taking life he shows he matters and adds the tally. No reasoning beyond that. It isn't running a criminal empire. It isn't a hit and a job. It is purely for himself. I am curious what could possibly drive someone to that.

[@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470]

@thegrayone5666 His parents died when he was young, he lost all of his money to the Penguin which led him to becoming homeless, and then had to kill another homeless man who threatened to give him money. It absolutely does not excuse what Zsasz does and he's still evil, but it gives him more of a reason than a lot of other villains in the Arkham series and explains how his lack of value for life started. I will agree that the version of him in the comics is pure evil and one of the worst though.

[@themadtitan7603]

I would put Man-Bat, Francine, Anarky and Grundy in misguided.

9:35 A victim of circumstance?? Freeze had psycopathic tendencies from childhood... He stole peoples pets and killed them in his pursuit to cryogenic freeze some living organism.

20:38 Pyg makes Joker look tame.

[@Latitz]

Even thou Joker is not included in this list i think his ugliest sides were shown in Arkham Knight when they showed flashbacks of him torturing Jason Todd, shooting Barbara through spine and list goes on. It is also strange that Arkham Knight is the only game of the series that got PG-18 rating in my country while other Batman Arkham games got PG-16.

[@ConkerTS]

And when Joker says that he did a baptism with acid. That is really, really messed up.

[@kadyjerry]

it is really interesting seeing how people rank the Riddler. Despite the fact that he probably has done the least amount of damage (in terms of the bigger villains at least) there is just something about the way he IS that makes other people despise him enough to look past that.

[@redrasegarden]

I wish to speak in defense of Arron cash because I don’t believe you have read the comics (the Arkham comics specifically…though if you have, I apologize) cash may be tough, but he has to be considering the job he has, the town he’s in, and the universe his world resides ( it’s still a dc world and Gotham is as prone to every strange event that happens) cash guarded the civilians rescued in Arkham city and for the record, he was against it as well believing small time criminals and regular adicts being thrown in with the real monsters knowing the danger they’d face and what they would need to do to survive. And yes, I can believe crock ate his hand for no reason. I pity crock but by the time we see him he’s embarrassed his monster persona.

[@SnowyWolborg]

I actually came here to say this exact same thing. In a place like Arkham Asylum, you can't treat it like a normal prison. You just can't. Croc would kill someone just for looking at him the wrong way, so it's not unreasonable to think that he would maim a security guard who had the balls to stand up to him. I know this is a completely different continuity, but if we want to talk about abusive prison guards, then the character Lockdown from Batman TAS is a prime example.

Unrelated but I wanna say about 9 mins in I noticed the background music and it was bring me so much nostalgia and I couldn't figure out where I recognized the music from then it finally hit me that it's from Jak 2 😂 11 yr old me use to love that game so much. Once I'm done this video I gotta go dig that game up and take well needed trip down memory lane it's probably been close to 20 yrs since I lasted played it.

Calendar man killed his dad and used his corpse as fish bait. Harley helped Joker blow up a bus of kids at some point in the Arkham comics I think too.

[@connordougherty9860]

Imagine being such a monster you’re excluding from a villain ranking strictly for being too extremely wicked shockingly evil and vile.

I think Scarecrow is worse cause he’s not insane like the Joker.

[@a1d3nbr3v]

gordon in origins was a bastard, refused to give batman the code to the fire doors and could've got hostages killed by refusing to listen to batmans warnings. after taking down the joker, bane and restoring all peace in blackgate, he still tries to arrest Batman. Insane.

Bro if this was based on comics, riddler would be in top tier. I think everyone glosses over the fact that riddler gave joker the idea to do the killing joke

[@Eivor85]

The moment it said Joker wouldn't be in it I knew straight away that Scarcrow would be at the top

[@SM-qd7po]

I would most definitely put R'as 2nd or 3rd behind Scarecrow and maybe Harley. Protocol 10, essentially mass homicide of hundreds to thousands of people regardless of if they were killers is insane. Lotta the inmates were just regular crooks rather than violent criminals and there were alot of prisoners who were just political adversaries to Sharp and Strange. For that I would throw R'as and Strange over Harley who was just a follower of Joker.

[@dragonalfaata]

When you say arkham scumbags, I think penguin. Instantly. And Dent belongs in there too, although he's not as annoying as Oswald.

I’d say Scarecrow is more evil than the Joker cause unlike him he doesn’t suffer any mental illness or insanity, he’s just pure evil and gladly tortures and murders countless people with fear toxin for his sick curiosity and amusement (probably targeted children too) and as you said wanted to cover the entire east coast with the toxin.

[@WhatInTheDeepestShadeOfFeck]

It's been suggested that Mad Hatter has abused children, so if he's not in the top tier, I have to wonder how anyone is...

[@Tommedian]

Scarecrow gassed an entire city with a hallucinogen just so he can prove Batman’s a coward

[@zollof6699]

Hilarious and accurate tier list.

[@joeker5208]

Wait. Are these ranked within the tiers themselves? Cause you said that Oracle is higher than her younger self. So that means Vicki is higher than Nightwing or Alfred?????

The lower ranked you are the more good you are. Overall chart goes good (bottom) to top (evil). You are right, the tiers are ranked. Evil (Left) to Good (Right)
