Are there any villains you can't stand? Well I can't stand the Riddler, all episodes about him (except Riddler's Reform) were really boring. I just don't think the Riddler is as interesting and entertaining as the other villains. What's so special about him? Well he sets up riddlers, wow great, who doesn't?

His origin is also not very fancy, he got fired, so what? Something like that happens everyday.

I never cared for Scar Face, nor Lock Up.

I like the Riddler epps for the neat puzzles/riddles. Some were clever, like the coins in the phone booth that translated to "DMV."

Mojo was kinda cool, as were Two Face and Clayface. I liked the gangster theme (Stromwell, Daggett, etc.) epps, and the Joker of course was almost always fun.

As for villians I didn't like, Lock Up was pretty stupid, Clock King was kinda okay, but the one with "Wormwood" was one of my least favorite. He looks a bit like Riddler without the hat and eyepiece.

harley kinda annoys me, that kind of new york accent is like scratching your nails on a chalkboard.

Clock King never did anything for me, because his first episode was somewhat ok, and his second episode stunk. Some of the one shot villians weren't very good either. Ditto for Baby Doll.

I actually liked all the Riddler episodes. I didn't like Lock-Up or the Red Claw at all though.

--that little toy collector wussy in "Grey Ghost". But the Adam West metahumor and fireballs glore makes that one a great episode nonetheless. Plus look closely: that's a caricature of Paul Dini running the video store....

Really? I'll have to go back and look. I knew the toy collector is a caricature of Bruce Timm (besides being voiced by him).

I'm surprised so many don't like Lock Up. I loved the concept of the character. He has the size/strength of Bane along with that over-the-edge, twisted sense of justice. I liked him.
I always thought Scarface was great too. It was frightening to see a doll "alive" and running the gang. That first episode with him was definitely creepy at moments. And I've always been fascinated by the idea of split personalities. That's one of the reasons I've found Two-Face so interesting too.

The villain I hated was Baby Doll. That farm guy that created those giant bugs and animals was a really bad idea too.

I don't get why no one likes Baby Doll. I hated her in Love Is A Croc, but i loved her first ep. The ending was really emotional, when she looses it and shoots her reflection of what she should be. Then Batman just takes the gun/doll out of her hands and as she comes up to him, he actually puts his arm around her. And the last words in the show being her slogan "I didn't mean to" just also had a neat meaning.

I liked Lock Up and Riddler too. All of the villians have their good and bad points, so i don't think there was actually a bad guy that i didn't like. But i will agree that Farmer Brown has more bad than good. A lot more.

I agree. Baby-Doll's first episode was good, but Love is a Croc was horrible. I still think that she's a good character, though, and has a lot of potential. And, obviously, Farmer Brown sucked.

Oh yeah! I can't believe I forgot about this. Farmer Brown reeked big time!

I can't stand that guy with the white face and is always laughing. Oh what is his name.....Oh yea! Joker. I can't stand that guy, boring! ;)

Seriously, Farmer Brown takes the cake.

My favorite villain is, of course, the Joker because I feel he's the only villain worthy to be a part of Batman's final battle.

I LOVE Two-Face. I love the whole idea that one of Batman's greatest foes is his best friend who has split personality disorder. I love the fact that Batman tries to cure him rather than kick his butt because he still remembers him as his best friend. That's a great story arc.

I LOVE the Riddler because he tests Batman's mind and detective skills.

I LIKE, just like, Mr. Freeze. I think if any villain should turn into a good guy and then just retire out of existence it should be Mr. Freeze. I like how Batman Beyond ended him. He basically commited suicide.

I LIKE Bane. Bane is strong and a hard guy to beat so he's cool.

I LIKE Man-Bat. On Leather Wings is an AMAZING episode!

I LIKE Scarecrow

I LIKE Scarface.

I LIKE Ras Al Ghul

I LIKE Harley Quinn

Basically............I like every villain but these guys:

CATWOMAN- I DONT FEEL the animated series ever TRULY explored the love relationship Batman and Catwoman could have had together. I find most of here episodes to be boring as hell. I don't think she was developed enough.

POISON IVY- I HATE ALL THE EPISODES SHE'S IN except for Almost Got Im'. All her episodes suck. I never watch them. And even in Almost Got Im' her story about how she almost killed Batman is the lamest and therefore that makes her even stupidier. She's really really stupid. She's obsessed with plants. What kind of villain is that? Why don't they make a villain who's obsessed with pencils or rubber duckies? What difference would it make? She SUCKS!

PENGUIN- The only episode I like with him in it is the Two-Face episode Second Chance. Besides that, I NEVER WATCH HIS EPISODES. Once again, the animated series NEVER FULLY EXPLORED HIS CHARACTER. They never explored the aspect of him being a gruesome little creature who gets prejudice from Gotham citizens wherever he turns. All his episodes suck. He sucks!

So there you go, I like every Batman villain except Penguin, Catwoman, and Poison Ivy. I could like Penguin and Catwoman if they had developed them more, but as for Poison Ivy I think I would always find her to be dull and dumb.

Perhaps this was due to Fox's policy of no mature content, like violence or sexually suggestive themes, in TAS.




Once again, the animated series NEVER FULLY EXPLORED HIS CHARACTER. They never explored the aspect of him being a gruesome little creature who gets prejudice from Gotham citizens wherever he turns.

In the episode where Penguin and Veronica Vreeland "get together" in order for her to play him (forget what it's called...), there is some prejudice shown towards him, like in the restaurant scene. But I agree, it's not really done to an extent throughout the series.

Here are the villains I don't like:


Lock Up, he's a Bane copy, strong and bulky, he almost looks like Bane

Clock King, he's a Riddler copy

Riddler, he's a copy of other villains and his episods suck


Yeah Two-Face is one of the greatest villains :)

Geez I didn't know so many ppl hated Nygma. ;) I hate Farmer Brown the most, but he doesn't bore me. Vomiting uncontrolably is NOT boring!!!! :D :D :D :D

Clock King never had a episode that made me really think he was a cool villain, so I'll go with him as my least favorite....

The concept behind the character was pretty lame, and "Critters" itself was crap. And it's all such a pity because I like the character's visual design. There's something about an Amish villain that just seems . . . neat.

(OK maybe I'm just weird. :D )

It's been a while since I've seen Critters (one of the few I didn't tape), so I'm trying to remember exactly what got Farmer Brown pissed off at everyone. Anyone help me on this one?
