Worst Batman Villain?

[gadgetfusion]

Well we have topics on the greatest and most overrated Batman villains, but what about his worst?

 

[webhead731]

Don't know any of those, but they all sound pretty bad lol.

 

[Batman]

...

"The Penny Plunderer"?

Dear lord, I wanna vote for that based on the name alone.

My vote goes to "Polka dot Man"

 

[JAX]

I dont know the majority of these villians

 

[Batman]

I do.

And that fact makes me ashamed of myself.

Great White Shark isn't a bad villain in the least. While he may not have many appearances, and really wasn't characterized in the most read of them - Face the Face, he was characterized fantastically in his origin story - the Arkham Asylum mini by Dan Slott - and was really shown as his own, original villain, really combining some of the best things about Batman; being human, and being horribly twisted and tormented by the ugliness of humanity. While he may not be my most favorite villain, he's certainly not the worst.

I don't know why Calendar Man at all belongs on the list. Not a great villain, perhaps, but THE LONG HALLOWEEN and DARK VICTORY gives him some fantastic moments, enough to keep him away from the "worst Batman villain" title.

I think it's the combined fact that his villain gimmick is pretty wholly lame, and he's never really done a single thing even close to noteworthy in the Batman mythos. Yeah, he had cool moments, but it's not like he actually did anything.

The Calendar Man rules.

But not the "Let's turn another villain into a sinister psychopath"-TLH-Calendar Man.

Calendar Man is on the list because many people consider him to be one of Batman's worst (other than in TLH and DV). I actually like Calendar Man, if given a good writer to work on him, he could be very well done. But nobody can agree on everything.

Who'd have thought there would be worse villains than Maxie Zeus!?

 

[Spidey]

Awww jeez, Ratcatcher shouldn't be up there.

He had a great TAS episode though.

polka dot man

Maxie Zeus is better suited as a villian for Thor.

 

[Kakihara]

I like Zeus because he's a the crazy equivalent to a Napolean impersonater in the madhouse. And he's just plain awesome in the Arkham Asylum book.

I think it's hilarious when they all escape Arkham in Knightfall... and he runs into a tree

[Acid Snowman]

Calander Man. But the sad thing is that these characters are based on concepts that had potential.

 

[CFE]

Mag Pie...her weakness is shiny things and Batman defeated her by holding up jewelry and having her trail behind all the way to jail...

pathetic.

CFE

Has he appeared in anything other that TLH/DV?

 

[Jamh]

Can I vote for Jason Todd?

 

[Rockbottom]

Ive never liked Maxie Zeus.

 

[The Joker]

The Clock King.

 

[BubbaGump]

The Clock King.

Man, even the worst villains had great TAS episodes. Makes me wish they made more episodes.
