Gotta love Egghead!

 

[BH/HHH]

Reverse Flash is the best he’s up there with DCs best movie villains for me.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Gotta love Egghead!

I remember back when Batman Begins was in pre-production, there was a rumor going around that Chris Nolan was going to use Egghead as the villain. People all over the internet collectively lost their minds.

Reverse Flash is the best he’s up there with DCs best movie villains for me.

Agreed, he and Brainiac are my favourites so far!

 

[Deck Rickard]

Reverse Flash was pretty cool, at least in the first season of The Flash. I stopped watching after season 2 though. Zoom was sooooo bad. I need to catch up on Krypton and see how Brainiac turned out.

Really? That's hilarious!

Yeah, there were all kinds of crazy rumors back then. Bale wanting a "lighter" Batman than we'd seen previously, nipples were going to be on the batsuits, the Reaper might be the main villain. Funny stuff. t:

Krypton's alright! It's a little slow in the beginning, but it does get better after the first three episodes! Brainiac himself is handled really well, and it bums out it doesn't take place in the DCEU as Blake Ritson is really good in the role!

Show isn't perfect, but left me excited for Season 2!

Cool, I'll have to pick it back up. I've only seen the first three episodes.

 

[BH/HHH]

Oh s*** yeah Brainiac too.

If I were to include Smallville Michael Rosenbaum’s Lex is on that list too.

 

[Fincher]

Out of what I've seen, Deathstroke, definitely. Malcolm Merlyn and Cupid stand out to me, too.

 

[Deck Rickard]

I liked Deathstroke up until the point he became a villain, because his motivation and actions thereafter were so stupid. He's so broken up over Shado's death that he decides to make Oliver's life a living hell and tries to destroy Starling City, yet he doesn't kill the guy who ACTUALLY murdered her when he has the chance. Same thing with Malcolm; he slaughters 500 people to avenge his wife's death but when he comes face to face with her actual killer, he doesn't do it. Like, seriously?

Until someone finally does the right thing and puts Crazy Quilt into a TV series, this is the only right answer.

 

[Ozbridge]

Hugo Strange, Penguin and Riddler in Gotham.

 

[Guard82]

My favorites in no particular order:

Captain Cold (The Flash/LOT)
The Reverse-Flash (The Flash/LOT)
Heat Wave (The Flash/LOT)
Deathstroke (Arrow)
Tobias Whale (Black Lightning)
Brainiac (Krypton)
Livewire (Supergirl)

LOL. Crazy Quilt is such an underrated villain.

 

[Batmannerism]

My favorites in no particular order:

Captain Cold (The Flash/LOT)
The Reverse-Flash (The Flash/LOT)
Heat Wave (The Flash/LOT)
Deathstroke (Arrow)
Tobias Whale (Black Lightning)
Brainiac (Krypton)
Livewire (Supergirl)

Cold, Reverse Flash, Deathstroke, Ra's Al Ghul and Damian Dahrk are my top 5.

If I had to pick #1 it would be Reverse Flash.

 

[Lantern Venom]

My top pick is Gorilla Grodd. Flash and Legends have done a stellar job with him, far beyond my expectations.

 

[Loki882]

-Reverse Flash (The Flash/LOT).
-Tobias Whale (Black Lightning).
-Malcolm Merlyn/The Dark Archer (Arrow Season 1).
-Slade Wilson/Deathstroke (Arrow).
-The Riddler (60's Batman).

 

[Boom]

Manu Bennett's Deathstroke, I suppose. The bar isn't exactly high in this department.

 

[Flash525]

Reverse Flash is the best he’s up there with DCs best movie villains for me.

I've gotta' agree with this, though I much prefer Matt Letcher in the role than I do Tom. Wentworth as Snart was also a good villain/antihero, as was Manu portraying Slade. They'd be my top three.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Are we counting Michael Rosenbaum as Lex Luthor? Because that’s my answer

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

I'm going old-school, and it's a tie. Frank Gorshin's fantastically manic Riddler as my all-time favourite Bat-villain performance, and Julie Newmar's Catwoman, because...
