Favorite Batman Film Villain
 

This thread is pertaining to all of the film villains that have been on the big screen starting with Batman '89.

Any particular reason for excluding the 60's one?

The villains on the 60's one weren't exclusive to that film as they were also part of the television show. This is mainly for the ones that were "one and done" so to speak.

You missed off Two Face from The Dark Knight and The Phantasm from Mask of the Phantasm (which counts since the film saw a regular cinema release)

The Burton Villains for me. Plus Phantasm if she was on the list

The Joker (Batman 89). He?s the most fun to watch and I like that he has ties to Batman.

No Harvey Dent from The Dark Knight? C'mon, man. C'mon.

I don't see Bane from Batman and Robin.

Mr. Freeze from Sub-Zero should be on there.

If it was available that would have been my choice. I assumed live action big budgets only.

C'mon, guys.

As for me, probably Ledger's Joker.

Don't forget the entire rogues of Batman appear in Lego Batman the movie and Dr. Daka and Nolan from the two 40s theatrical serials.

Where the hell is Frank Gorshin's Riddler?

It's funny. Sub-Zero was created to accompany Batman and Robin to promote the film, kind of like Superman Brainiac Attacks was with Superman Returns. But Sub-Zero ended up being such a better movie that they pushed back it's release. And by the time it came out, at that point the show had already transitioned to The New Batman Adventures, which clearly takes place after the movie.

To answer the question though, it's too hard for me to choose between the two Jokers. Had the 1989 Batman movie not been what made me a Batman fan, there's a good chance that I would vote for Ledger's Joker. As it is right now though, it's a tie.

:tlol:

We are a fickle, ungrateful bunch in this thread!

My vote, movie-wise, is 89's Joker, with Returns Catwoman/Penguin pair a close second. Something about those three just struck a chord with me, in a way none since have. Though, tbh, my top pick would be the BtAS Joker- he tops them ALL!!

Mark Hamill made for an outstanding Joker. But because the tv series had to stay kid friendly, it was really only in Mask of the Phantasm and Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, that Hamill and the show's creators were able to bring out the character's full potential.

Where’s Harley Quinn?

And Joaquin Phoenix Joker?

Flop list boo.

I think they're excluded because neither of them are in theatrical live-action movies titled Batman.

Yeah, otherwise Killer Croc, Deadshot, Black Mask, and Mr. Zsasz would have been on the list.

That being said for me 1. Mr. Freeze ( Subzero) 2. Riddler ( Frank Gorshin) 3. The Joker ( Mask of The Phantasm 4. Riddler ( Jim Carey). By the set rules my choice is my fourth choice technically but first by the rules given.
