Watch the following video for our Top 10 Batman Movie Villains.
The Dark Knight has faced all manner of foes in his time as a bankable big screen hero, and with his arch nemesis now getting his very own movie in the upcoming Joker, we thought it was high time to break down which incarnations of Batman’s cinematic villains are tops.
A couple of ground rules for this list: We’re ranking super villains in particular, no “regular” baddies—so no corporate sleezes like Rutger Hauer’s Mr. Earle from Batman Begins or mob men like Eric Roberts’ Sal Maroni from The Dark Knight—and only super villains who have come into physical conflict with Batman in some way (sorry/not sorry, Halle Berry’s Catwoman). Also critical in this ranking is how well the onscreen version reflects the essence of his or her comic book counterpart.
