This week, i thought ill choose my own Top Ten. So in celebration of us legaly being able to use ''You Can Call Me Batman'' By Scared Of Dinosaurs as our new theme song, i thought it'd only be fitting for me to pick my personal 'Top Ten Batman Villians' (side note: the things that get said will be the things i know from the versions i prefair as you know every character has a gazillion diffrent orign storys just so you know theres no need to be all THATS NOT WHAT HAppENED! because it is just in the version i like better ;) ) so now all thats out the way lets get started :
10. Black Mask
Real Name: Roman SionisFirst Appearance: Batman #386
Insane Twist: Black Mask is a sociopath obsessed with tormenting Bruce Wayne. The mask fused to his face was carved from his mothers grave. *shudders*
Highlight:On his way to taking over Gotham's underworld, he aced Batman's newest Robin, Stephanie Brown.
Reason (My Views): Yes on the surface he does look like a red skull rip off whitch is debatable, but alas the reasons he makes the list are because he is more obsessed with tormenting bruce wayne whereas most villians go after batman he wants the billionareplayboy. Also because he does kill robin whitch automaticly makes him a great villian. The psychological damage wasn't just to Batman, but also to Tim Drake, Stephanie's boyfriend (and on-again off-again Robin)
9. Poison Ivy
Real Name: Pamela IsleyFirst Appearance: Batman #181
Insane Twist: Her blood is quite literally toxic, but her pheromone scent is absolutely intoxicating
Highlight: Forging a truce with Batman that allowed her some control over Gotham City.
Reason (My Views):Along with being able to control plantlife and having a scent that attracts men she also has a kiss that kills, these all give her good reasons to be a solid number nine.
8. Two Face
Real Name: Harvey DentFirst Appearance: Detective Comics #66
Insane Twist: When half his face was disfigured by acid, District Attorney Harvey Dent's personality split in two and the monster known as Two-Face was born.
Highlight: There have been many great two-timing moments, but none as satisfying as when Two-Face betrayed and shot Hush.
Reason (My Views): Harvey is one of the rare cases where i feel sorry for the villian. He was once a crusader for justice, like Batman. In fact, his obsession with punishing criminals was, at times, more severe than the Bat. But when Dent got the acid bath it opened up his psychosis. None of Two-Faces criminal shenanigans can equal the guilt Batman feels over failing to save Harvey Dent. This makes for a potent villain.
7. Catwoman
Real Name: Selina KyleFirst Appearance: Batman #1 (as The Cat)
Insane Twist: She's obsessed with cats.
Highlight:Shacking up with Bruce Wayne -- a brilliant career move. Sure, Catwoman's not a megalomaniac and often she's more good than bad, but there is no other villain who holds as much power over Batman as the feline vixen. Catwoman has Batman wrapped around her finger so tightly he's actually looked the other way at her thievery. Not to mention, Bruce Wayne has hooked up with Selina in the past. There's no one more dangerous than an enemy who makes you betray your own convictions
Reason (My Views): As already mentioned she holds more power over batman than any other villian. She is also his female equal whicth makes for a pretty much even fight
6. Mr. Freeze
Real Name: Victor FriesFirst Appearance: Batman #121
Insane Twist: A control-freak who sees his freezing techniques as a way to control an unstable world. Went truly coocoo after his love Nora died due to a mystery illness.
Highlight:His appearance in the "City of Crime" storyline had an utterly delusional Freeze keeping Batman one step away from finding a missing girl.
Reason (My Views) : I love mr. freeze because i do genually feel sorry for him as he commits crimes to, what he thinks he needs to do to bring his wife back from death.
NUMBER 5 - 1 (Part 2) SHALL BE UP TOMORROW!
