[@hoteluniform]

Although my enemies are a pain in the ass, I would have liked scarecrow on the list. -Batman

[@SirGeeeO]

every hero who comments on this channel immediately reveals their secret identity. Can't believe the Riddler thinks you're smart

[@Taalsman]

SirGeeeO Yeah, talk about being stupid.

[@sanjay12194]

Bruce wayne is Batman!!! No freaking way that Drunkard playboy is a hero Pfft he wishes!

[@ThePanchEffect]

Im pretty sure he is quoting batman.

[@hoteluniform]

SirGeeeO

[@DarKKnightt07]

Scarecrow should be in catwoman's spot, I don't consider her a villain to batman, she is more of his love interest and is petty thief, not much a threat to him.

[@lightyagim5010]

Yes sir

[@k.hughes6075]

DarKKnightt07 hmm I agree

[@alphabetgirl2759]

I don't agree but whatever. If you could Catwoman if she is a villain or hero she would say both the world is grey to her not black and white so basically that means she doesn't see good vs evil to her the world is different

[@DarKKnightt07]

Yazmine Shabazz tell what is the worst she has done to him? not much, in dire times she has become his ally and helped him through some tough obstacles, more like a anti-hero who is torn between doing the right thing and wrong thing.

[@NateHolness]

I agree he's one of the best's

[@bretw6576]

Oh man, I have noooooooo idea who number one could ppossssibly be.

As he is also my favorite batman villain, it was pretty sad to see him not in the list

[@rickshelley1288]

Hugo Strange. Anyone who read the Engleheart and Rodgers Detective Comics in 1977 knows he is a top 5 villain. He defeated Batman.

[@HereJune]

I like Scarecrow too, but you have to remember it's his opinion.

ya i think he shoulda been there too

[@HavikLaosBoi69]

I think Joel Schumacher is Batman's greatest villain, he only did little but the damage it did was enormous.

[@solilo5011]

This deserves all the likes.

[@TheGuy735]

No he did a lot. Even more than the Joker...

The movie was good but as Batman villains, that'll be Zack Snyder and Ben Afleck are there at the top

[@n.s.2754]

Agreed! 💯

No he actually is a Batman or Superhero movie Allie because without his two shitty Batman Movies we wouldn’t have gotten the Dark Knight And then that movie would have changed the Superhero Movie genre

I see her as more of an anti hero.

OG hush or retcon hush?

[@TheSoldier1984]

@@connerdunn2106 OG is my favorite

[@mechredd]

I was channel surfing today and stumbled upon an episode of the 1960's Batman TV show. The villain, Colonel Gumm began his monolog but was stopped by Reprint, his henchman. Reprint said that they shouldn't give away the details of their plan. Reprint is the greatest henchman ever.

[@RagsLighthouses]

Scarecrow is my favorite Batman villain, or villain in general. Hes the true opposite of Batman: a man that stands as an icon of hope, justice and overcoming your fears. Scarecrow of course is that fear. He's a testament to mind consuming matter and uses that excellently. I dont think ive seen a bad portrayel of him, both as a character and in art. He looks terrifying and it really hits home that his character is someone born of terror

[@beccasmithson6331]

Isn't catwomen more of an anti-hero?

[@javontemorant4701]

Yes but she still comes in confict with Batman at times, so she is part of his rouge gallery.

[@xace13x1]

I've have said this many times before an anti-hero is a villain. They are not evil they aren't monsters, but but they are not good people. Whether it's a thief with a moral code like Catwoman, a vigilanty that will go to far like Huntress, or a patriot who will do what it takes to win like Amanda Waller.

[@scottfree2248]

Great point! She is not evil but she is a master thief. I would say her character development is similar to the Alfred Hitchcock move To Catch A Thief where a master jewel thief/Cat burgeler played by Cary Grant has reformed and is now a hero.

[@Fabian6980]

Becca smithson yes she's no villain she's a criminal

[@detectivellama6644]

Becca smithson she’s not even a villain she’s just a master thief

[@sjh2002]

Good. Apart from Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, and Joel Shumaecher not making the list, good

[@HeliosThor64]

I'mBatmanAndIKnowIt's Second Channel Joel Schumacher should have been an honorable mention.

[@sjh2002]

Or #1

[@kobra8050]

Scarecrow and killer croc but that's it

[@sjh2002]

***** Joel Shumacher is the greatest batman villain theres no denying

[@simonj6801]

Hi i'm from the future and zack Snyder is WAY worse than Joel :I

[@marmik961]

Here's my list. 10 Penguin-A bird of prey that knows how to make things difficult for his predators. 9 Killer Croc-Not exactly an A tier rouge but I think he was the potential to be better. 8 Poison Ivy-Hands down one of the toughest Batman villains and one of the sexiest. 7 Clayface-A villain that can turn into just about anything how can that not be great. 6 Mr.Freeze-All he did was for his wife so you can't help feeling sorry for him despite his cold hearted actions. (Pun intended of course) 5 Bane-Strong & smart so he can attack Batman physically & mentally a dangerous combo. 4 Scarecrow-Basically the Freddy Kruger of DC. 3 Two-Face-A former friend turned enemy also did you know he was inspired by Dr.Jekyll & Mr.Hyde. 2 Riddler-Smart psychotic and an ego the size of Gotham he is and always will he one of the best. 1 Joker-Big shock not just the best Batman villains but possibly the greatest villain period.

[@thepubknight6144]

i like that waylan jones /killer croc was on your list out of all his rogue galleries hes like bruce were both orphans since they were kids

[@SuperT0MaT0]

10. Poison Ivy-Her portrayal in the arkham games are really nice, making her an interesting villain 9. Man-Bat- he really means well, just to find a cure. I find his story interesting 8. Two-Face- represents batmans duality, especially seeing as he was friends with Bruce wayne 7. The Riddler- he challenges batmans intellect, not much of a physical fighter 6. Red Hood (when a villain... duh)- I like what he stands for, which is batmans greatest failure. Some villains can be arguably created by batman, but Jason Todd is LITERALLY created through batman. Had he not been brought in as being robin, none of this would've happened really. He is more of an anti-hero, but he's just so badass 5. Ra's Al Ghul- in a sick and twisted way, he really does mean well... He wants to purify the world of crime. He just takes it too far. No big deal 4. The Joker- honestly not number one because I find others more interesting. I know he is the quintessential villain of batman, as he has just been a pain. Paralyzed Barbara, killed Jason, and in the DCAU he kidnapped Tim and transformed him into a kid joker. Just pure evil 3. Scarecrow- he's usually overlooked to be honest. He represents batmans tactics of fear, and with the joker it can be argued he has a few screws loose, but it's implied that scarecrow isn't insane, just pure evil. He's smart, calculating, and badass 2. Bane- when he's not being portrayed as a big bumbling idiot, he poses a serious threat. He is a genius, figured out batmans identity, is a serious physical threat, and broke the bat. Love it 1. Me Freeze- I would recommend to everyone to watch the episode of the animated series Heart of Ice. It portrays freeze as a kind of wise and seasoned guy at the end of the rope and just wants to cure his wife, even if it means he'll go to extreme lengths. Even though he's on top tens, he needs to be higher on lists. Plus his boss fight in arkham city is one of the best in any game ever. Just saying. So there you have it

[@Purified_Water_Enjoyer]

Id put Riddler higher as he is smart as shit and more dangerous.

[@springyqthealloy7544]

I appreciate Scarecrow being so high

[@shane55pwnt]

Not a definitive list but my top 5 would probably have to be: 5. Poison Ivy 4. Scarecrow 3. Harley Quinn 2. Joker 1. The Riddler Deathstroke is my favourite comic book villain but I'm pretty sure he's more Teen Titans then Batman.

[@adamaranda18]

You should do a Worst Batman Villains too. As Batman has some of the best rogues gallery ever, he also has some of the worst.

Personally, the Scarecrow is my favorite Batman villain.

[@criticalbill2090]

Ok, number 1 was a no-brainer, The Joker is the ultimate villain. But where the hell was Hush?

[@louisjohnson3888]

Bill Proud Yeah hush is way better than freeze. scarecrow should be there too.

[@adrianmorgan6009]

Adon is Pac-Man Of course Hush is a villan and a very important one as he knows Batman's real identity and was Bruce Wayne's childhood friend

[@colonelkellando6975]

Perhaps it’s as if someone has a different opinion then you. Hush isn’t really an A-list bad guy which is probably why he wasn’t on the list.

[@oddballskull1941]

Because hush was only in one good story arc, any stories about the character after the self titled arc is kinda garbage, the only thing that made hush popular again was the arkham city game

[@oddballskull1941]

Not saying hush ain't a good villain but you need to have at least more examples of great comics or at least be more prominent and he is neither. I mean rhas al guhl isn't here either but you know a ton of people would want him on here

[@quickloris4715]

Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn definitely both deserve their place somewhere in the top ten. Harley's origin story is quite awesome in her line of comics (pre-new 52), and her character has a lot of depth. Poison Ivy's character also has a lot of depth upon reading the comics, and her concept as a guardian of plant life while still holding onto some humanity (that she often denies) makes her a very interesting character.

[@lordsubziro2824]

Kudos to you for a video well done! I was surprised that The Riddler was in second place and not Ras al Gul. I'm also surprised you didn't mention Riddler was Hush. Also I liked The Batman animated series version of Mr. Freeze being a common diamond thief who was trapped in an experimental cryogenic tube and gained cryogenic powers like Killer Frost and many other villains of DC comics. Plus Clancy Brown was that character's voice talent in that series.

However, the first three never change for me. I don't count Catwoman as a villain, more as an antihero.

So glad you have the riddler so high. He might be my favorite over the joker even

[@TranquillinaDavide]

Thanks a ton, this was super helpful!

[@jaimevazquez6101]

Firefly,scarecrow,killer croc,mad hatter, lady Shiva, calendar man, man bat, Clay face, deathstroke, bane

[@powerrangerkid16]

Wow, bane is the "living" interpretation of the phrase "sins of the father" speaking of which, why has there never been a bane comic called that?

[@muddy.productions]

There was an Anarky issue that was called, Sins of the Father. That was the issue that Anarky found out that The Joker might be his father, but that title definitely fits Bane a lot more

[@Davidthestratman7]

Also the phrase brawn and brain

[@fragmanialains]

cmon man wheres deathstroke?

[@leikeane]

He's now more considered as part of Nightwing's rogues' gallery.

[@Spongebrain97]

Lei-Keane Lee i see him as just an overall DC villain since he faces off against a bunch of heroes such as Green Arrow, Nightwing, and the Teen Titans to name a few. Arkham Origins for sure convinced a lot of people that deathstroke is a batman villain.

[@leikeane]

Yea, he originally was wasn't he? But then when they started making him Nightwing's villian when he was in teen titans, he kinda became part of his rogue's gallery. But he's also an overall villian, mainly because he's just a mercenary.

[@Spongebrain97]

Lei-Keane Lee well when he first started out as deathstroke the terminator his only real enemies became the teen titans mainly robin but then to nightwing. Even tho he has fought batman in the past he is not considered by fans to be a member of Batman's rogues gallery. DeadShot is but not Deathstroke

[@leikeane]

***** Yea

[@GwynethRusse]

Great show guys, thank you

[@saint698]

Great list

[@alexreddington2139]

I'd have replaced #10 with Deathstroke or Poison Ivy

[@thepack9070]

Deathstroke has had encounters with Batman several times but he’s mainly a teen titans villain

[@tweektweak2530]

Secret number 11 KITE MAN

[@thewarriorpizza8323]

The definitive list: 1.- The Joker 2.- Catwoman 3.- Ridler 4.- Bane 5.- Scarecrow 6.- Mr Freeze 7.- Two Face 8.- The Penguin 9.- Poison Ivy 10.- Ras' al Gul 11.- Killer Croc 12.- Man-Bat

[@laurenk3597]

And while Damian was dead Clayface turned into him while he was captured telling Batman Bruce Wayne doesn't even care about his son which made Batman very VERY mad.

[@spaced_ghost]

Clayface higher than Two Face?? Two Face is wayyyyyyyyy more important to Batman's history

[@adrianmorgan6009]

10. Hush 9. Harley Quinn 8. Poison Ivy 7. Riddler 6. Scarecrow 5. Bane 4. Penguin 3. Two Face 2. Ra's al Ghul 1. Catman (it's a joke, obviously The Joker)

[@dakotatrue12]

Adrian Morgan I suggest you read comics with catman in it, the recent ones, he’s actually a really cool villain.

[@Jacksov690]

Dude you’re way off. Condiment king is the best

[@Sniffin432]

Mine our 10: Penguin 9: Man-Bat 8: Red Hood 7: Riddler 6: Two Face 5: Killer Croc (I threw a rock at him!) 4 Bane 3: Mister freeze 2: Joker 1: Scarecrow

Here is my list of the top 10 Batman villains ever: 10. Ra's Al Ghul 9. Penguin (Because of Gotham) 8. Scarecrow 7. Poison Ivy 6. Mad Hatter 5. Mr Freeze 4. Two-Face 3. Deathstroke 2. Joker 1. The Riddler If your favourite villain is not here then sorry.

[@ismailmounsif4767]

Penguin yay

[@t-dawg5265]

Deathstroke isn't a Batman villain.

[@trajoanmayberry3808]

The Riddler is Favorite

[@uhacharly81]

DAY-V Entertainment™ mines is 1.scarecrow 2.killercroc 3.harleyquinn 4.mrfreeze 5.poisonivy 6.joker 7.peungin 8.manbat 9.bane 10.twoface

[@seanedwards9616]

I haven't seen a Batman villain's list that the Joker was not #1.

[@MrOrcshaman]

I don't think its possible to do that, so don't fight it. You can reshuffle the other villains, but Joker to Batman is Lex Luthor to Superman, or Magneto to Xavier, it just flows together.

[@agentringer]

Joker may not even be in my top 10 Batman villians. I like Joker but being arch nemesis doesn't automaitcally make you the best villian.

[@debasegrog5153]

agentringer no, but he is the best villian

[@Ghost_Films]

1. Joker 2. Scarecrow 3. Penguin 4. Hush 5.Two Face 6. Riddler 7. Mr. Freeze 8. Bane 9. Cat Woman 10. Ra’s Al Ghual Honorable Mention The Court of Owls, Killer Croc, The Ventriloquist, The Mad Hatter, Hugo Strange

[@namast3260]

My top 10 Deathstroke(more of a Titans villains so not included) 10.The Mad Hatter 9.Killer Croc 8.Riddler 7.The Penguin 6.Anarky 5.Scarecrow 4.The Court of Owls 3. Bane 2.The Joker 1.Two Face Honorable mention: Black Mask, Harley Quinn,

[@haloreachfahd]

No Scarecrow?????? He Easily has one of the greatest background stories, Riddler's sucks in comparison

[@ComicBooksandVideoGameNerd96]

No poison ivy she is my favorite super villainesses in all of comics

[@frankrico5838]

😐

[@haremking8287]

She isnt the best tho the best dc villains of all time are darkseid,reverse flash and the joker and for marvel its thanos,galactus and loki

[@geritolpagan761]

No Scarecrow? Poison Ivy? Victor Zsasz? Harley Quinn? Mad Hatter? I like your list, but I would take half of those out, & add these.

[@Purified_Water_Enjoyer]

Honestly no the only edit I would make is to take out catwoman and put scarecrow in her place.

[@mitchclout6681]

10. Ra's al Ghul 9. Red Hood 8. Mr. Freeze 7. Penguin 6. Two-Face 5. Joker 4. Deathstroke 3. Riddler 2. Bane 1. Scarecrow

[@LordStickMax]

we all knew it was the joker right?

[@iReece4498]

Seriously? Catwoman (my favourite female character, but not a villain) and Clayface? Scarecrow is a top 5 Batman villain surely. Not only is he one of the best villains for Batman in the comics, his portrayals in other media are excellent, e.g. Cillian Murphy in Batman begins. If you ever did an updated list, he should definitely be on it especially following Batman Arkham Knight. Not joking, John Noble's portrayal of scarecrow is one my favourite voice portrayals ever. Up there with Mark Hamill's Joker for me. P.S. If you class him as a Batman villain, Deathstroke should definitely be here as he is one of DCs best characters in my opinion. But if you don't class him specifically as a Batman villain, fair enough.

[@aldothesloth]

You sorta right about catwoman she a anti hero

[@romistymiest7994]

sorry but scarecrow sucked ass in batman begins

[@iReece4498]

Kaneki Ken Cillian Murphy did a good job. Just Scarecrow was used as a means to an end

[@gaminxlegend2827]

+Kaneki Ken dude, he lit batman on fire

[@thejoker5454]

Your forgetting that he only had TEN spots to fill and it was HIS (not your) opinions, correct. I'm fine as long as i got number one!

[@rod764]

Arris! Any reading recommendation for each Batman Villain on your countdown? Doesn't have to be their origins.

[@buriedporcelaindoll]

My list: 1: Poison Ivy 2: Scarecrow 3: The riddler 4: The joker 5: Mr. Freeze 6: Ra's Al Ghul 7: Two face 8: Bane 9: Harley Quinn 10: The penguin

[@TheAwsomeBlue]

Penguin is useless if you think about it so Scarecrow should be on the list and you also forgot Kiteman. the superior Batman villain

[@juanreynaldo1041]

Penguin useless ? How ignorant..

[@alexisburns1196]

batman the animated series is the best interests of batman villans

[@thepack9070]

True. The Arkham games also do a good job with giving the villains some character and lore

[@haremking8287]

No its the batman comics hehheheh

[@CecilByway]

very helpful, worth the watch

[@Stud03Muffin]

In my opinion, Honorable Mentions: Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Hush, Zsasz, Joe Chill, Red Hood, Poison Ivy, Solomon Grundy, Owlman, and Kilmer Croc 10. Catwoman 9. Hugo Strange 8. Mr. Freeze 7. Bane 6. Ra’s Al Ghul 5. Two-Face 4. Penguin 3. Scarecrow 2. The Riddler 1. The Joker

[@geraldoutten9133]

Superman should be first or second place. Seriously! Batman and superman are constantly fighting each other.

[@geraldoutten9133]

Every year superman and batman fight, because superman turns evil or misunderstood. The new movie that is coming out will have superman and batman fight each other.

[@geraldoutten9133]

Have you seen the dark knight returns, red sun, almost every animation series, infinite crisis?! Superman have actually succeeded in killing mass amounts of superheroes or stop them from being heroes altogether way more than any other super villains have. KZbin: superman vs batman. Superman turns evil and you will see that superman constantly going at it with batman or existence itself.

[@geraldoutten9133]

***** yeah, I hear what you are saying, but your greatest enemy would be your greatest friend. I think a villain is anyone that work against the goals of the hero, and annual superman have done this so many times to batman and it was up to batman to save the day. I guess we can agree to disagree?😄

[@JaysTech247]

Gerald Outten may I add that superman was the main villain in injustice Gods among us after the joker killed Louis lane

[@geraldoutten9133]

JaysTech247 Boom! Thank you, jay!

[@ZaneTheAssasin]

My Villain List 10) Freeze 9) Al Ghul 8) Bane 7) Two Face 6) Riddler 5)Scare Crow 4) Red hood 3) "The Arkham Knight" (I know he is not fully revealed yet but I always had a thing for heroes having that villain who is an opposite of them but still take on their persona and knowing he is created by Geoff Johns, he is going to kick-ass) 2) Joker 1) Death Stroke

[@joshuajacobs139]

The arkham knight isn't a villain in the comics so i don't think he counts

[@ZaneTheAssasin]

MY Top Ten "Batman Villains" comics or not he seems bad ass

[@shane55pwnt]

I don't know whether Deathstroke counts as a Batman villain. I mean he thought him a few times but he is the arch nemesis of the Teen Titans. He is bloody awesome though and probably my fave DC villain.

[@ultimateastro1]

Deathstroke is more of nightwing villain or the teen titans but he is still the best villain

[@joshuajacobs139]

Hahaha no

[@bryanlam3412]

In my book it would go something like this: 1. Joker (most iconic) 2. Bane (he's smart) 3. Riddler maybe (Riddles are cool) 4. Court of Owls (epic. Just epic.) 5. Cluemaster (because of his run in Batman Eternal) 6. Dr. Strange (its a pun :( get it? Dr. Hugo Strange) 7. Clayface (mostly because of his character arc in Detective Comics Rebirth) 8. Catwoman (just sexy UwU) 9. Mr. Freeze (because his character arc in New 52 when he pushed his mom into ice and when Batman revealed the woman in the glass tube is not really Nora, that character arc was noice) 10. Scarecrow (he's just cool)

[@joshuanelson6795]

My top 10: 10.) Dr. Simon Hurt 09.) Hush 08.) Hugo Strange 07.) The Court of Owls 06.) The Riddler 05.) Scarecrow 04.) Bane 03.) Ra's al Ghul 02.) Two-Face 01.) The Joker

[@TheWalker2002]

I've got a few of things: 1) REALLY clay-face over ctawoman!!! 2) NO HARLEY QUINN 3) NO SCARECROW!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheWalker2002]

***** yeh i guess so

[@flyboyking4114]

TheWalker2002 1) Harley is more of a goon then a actual villain and 2) it should be Bane or Ras at 1 because Joker dose evil for fun yes that makes him dangerous it's not as scary as some one who has a goal and will not stop at anything for it

[@TheWalker2002]

flyboyking4114 nah harley started as a goon and developed into a her own villain and i think murdering for fun and to get a thrill is more terrifying than someone doing stuff for a goal because that just shows how twisted the joker actually is
