Besides Batman, which JL member do you think has a cool rogues gallery?

[Batman 80]

The answer could be the animated or mainstream comic version. I think Superman's animated rogues gallery was cool.

[The Green Hornet]

the flash and superman both have excellent rougues galleries

[peterparker05]

The Green Lantern has a pretty awesome rogues gallery as well

[kid_flash]

The Flash. His Rogues are probably my faves, even more than Batman.

I don't mean to criticize, but do any of the Flash's rogues even compare to the Joker or Ra's Al Ghul?

The Flash has the next best Rogue's gallery. By the way, for the youngsters who think Batman has the ultimate rogue's gallery, half of them were inspired by the villains in the Dick Tracy comic strip. Just a little credit where credit is due.

[The Flash]

Superman and The Flash, I think have the next best ones. Animated Supes 2nd and Flash's 3rd for me....

I am a fan of Dick Tracy and I had noticed throughout the years how his rogue gallery was very similar to Batman's. Don't worry, Dick Tracy is not lost on the youngsters.

[Batman 80]

I knew that Bats villains were inspired by Dick Tracy. Flattop was my favorite villain from Dick Tracy. Can someone name all of the Flash's rogues gallery? I only know of Grodd,Captain Cold, Weather Wizard, Reverse Flash.

Hello, this is my first post here. I have to go with the Flash. After Batman's rouge gallery the Flash's has some of the most colorful villians around.

I didn't say the Flash's Rogues were more powerful or responsible for more deaths or anything. I said I like 'em better. They're more fun, more real to me. I've just always dug 'em.

Aren't the core of the Flash's Rogues Gallery actually relatively benign, as supervillains go?? I thought I read somewhere that they even helped the Flash once when something BIG was about to wipe out Central ( or was it Keystone? ) City.

If Bruce Timm and the creative team elect to do the Flash's Rogues Gallery, I want to know how they're going to introduce them without looking like imitations of Batman's enemies. Consider: Captain Cold, Heatwave, and the Trickster are a little too similar to Mr. Freeze, Firefly, and the Joker.

However, that still leaves the Weather Wizard, Professor Zoom, Mirror Master, Gorilla Grodd, Abra Kadabra, and Captain Boomerang.

Gorilla Grodd will be appearing in "The Brave and the Bold", but I would also like to see an appearance by the Weather Wizard.

The Flash's Rogues are just in it for personal profit. If that includes helping the Flash out, that's how they'll do it. And, yeah, Captain Cold and Mirror Master gave the Flash a hand during Wonderland (in THE FLASH #164-169), which is an excellent story that I highly recommend. And you can see the personal profit the Rogues would get.

Batman's Rogues are well known (and liked?) becuase of their exposure in the Movies and Animated series.

Superman's was let known to fans through his Animated series, but two of his worst never made it there: Doomsday and the Evil Cyborg

Next comes Flash: many of whom were named above. The only classic one I can think of not named is the Top.

I think it is interesting that although Green Lantern has been around as long as Flash, his gallery of villains is less known that Flash's.

I'd have to start with:
Sinestro, Star Sapphire, Eclipso, Evil Star, Goldface, Hector Hammond(a guy with a lareg head), .

Wonder Woman has a good list, but I can only think of a few.
Circe, Cheetah, Ares

Martian Manhunter had virtually no personal enemies before his own series which started a few years ago.The White Martians , represented here in Secret Origins.

Hawkgirl has virually no villains of her own. Even Hawkman has few to speak of. Shadow Thief, Gentleman Ghost

Aquaman has two well known enemies:Ocean Master (his brother Orm) and Black Manta.

The Atom gets Cronos and Plant Master.

Green Arrow Count Vertigo and Clock King

Firestorm had a comic run of 100 issues, but no villain left their mark on him like KIller Frost

[witness]

Besides Batman's, I would also have to go with Superman's rouges gallery. While there is more of them in the comics, I think that Livewire and Volcana were made for the animated series. Oh and that Prototype guy too, he was cool.

The other rouges galleries are just as cool, I think. Each one has cool villians in them.

Flash's is being beefed up in the comics. With an upcoming comic that has them all on the cover.

One of Green Lantern's that hasn't been mentioned was Dr. Polaris. Is Sonar a Flash villian or a Green Lantern villian?

Also from the Underworld Unleashed, Neron has been a recurring Wonder Woman villian.

So, each list has its cool villians in them.

[Karkull]

Aquaman: Kingfisher, the Pirahna Man
Green Lantern: the Manhunters, the Tattooed Man
Hawkman: Dr. Light, Kanjar Ro
J'onn J'onzz: Ma’alefa’ak [or Malefic], Headman, Bette’ Noir, the Swarm, the Clanetary System
Superman: Magog
Wonder Woman: Silver Swan, Dr. Psycho, Dr. Cyber

Did Magog ever exist in the regular comics though? I'm just curious.

[Blade1225]

He does in a roundabout way...we accept Batman Beyond, don't we?

[Batman 80]

Isn't Mongul considered to be in Green Lantern's rogues gallery? I know Mongul is in Superman's.

Ever since he played a hand in Coast City's destruction, but only in Hal Jordan's Rogues Gallery.
