Worst Batman villian.

[Tom Samborski]

This is a no-brainer for me. Mr.Freeze was by far the worst Batman villian. His costume was beyond cheesy, and Arnold Schwarzenegger seemed like he was performing the role in a high school play.

[APzombie]

Ya, Freeze blew. Uma was at least somthing to look at playing Ivy ;). The character of Freeze was just so pathetic, not to mention the he made more puns than Joker did in the first one, and he isn't even supposed to be the funny villian.

[MonkeyGoat]

Just wait till they stick Louie the Lilac in a Batman flick.

[HedwigX]

Mr. Freeze.

Why, Arnie? Were you TRYING to kill your career or something?

[perreli]

BANE !! They took my favorite bat-villian and turned him into a retarded-mumbling-fat guy, what the $#@&.

[Hack]

Mr. Freeze is numero uno. And Bane was just terrible. I'm trying to get Batman and Robin out of my head since I saw it years ago, this thread isn't helping. Unfortunately, Perrili called it as well. It looked as if Bane was in a big, fat, moldy, rubber suit. That movie was terrible, just terrible. They should've not hired Arnold and saved 25-30mill. and used that on less comic book crapiness and more originality that was like Tim Burtons' 1 and 2.

[MisterTwister]

I like them all. Even Mr. Freeze.

[Golden Badtz]

Freeze

[t3h Qster]

yeah freeze here too....he was too good to be bad, in a wierd sort of chivalrous way........

[chasingbanky]

The Joker sucked so much.....WHat a crock

[Jon Lyrik]

Bane. At least Mr. Freeze was laughably bad.

[Scarface98.9]

Any character even related to the trainwreck that was Batman and Robin

[adamjohnson]

Bane should definetely have his own movie. Hes such a badass in the comics.

Ive said this before and Ill say it again: Bane in the comics was not some (yellow) idiotic henchman! Bane was a brilliant scientist and amazing russian assasin that developed a formula that made him ten times as strong as he already was. In B&R he looked like some geek kid and kept saying "EXIT!" "BANE SMASH". When in reality Bane was just as intellignet as Bats was.

Hopefully they will , and they could, bring in a newer better Bane for his own film. He could say somethign like, "they stole my formula, but nothign can replace the original"

So yeah, we can only hope.

[Guy Strong]

Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze was pretty bad, but Bane is the worst Batman Villian.

[ilovemovies]

Definately Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy. I don't think Batman & Robin was quite as bad as alot of people think it is (though it certainly isn't a good movie) but it has absolutely the WORST villians in the Batman franchise and some of the worst movie villians of ALL time as well. Schwarzenegger and Uma Thurman gave terrible performances in that movie.

[The Rain Dog]

Bane has always left me pretty cold as a character

RD

[hail]

Mr. Freeze,-- the costume was grade A wisconsin cheesy and another thing,-- he is suppose to be a frail man, not a five time mr. olympia

[Solid Snake]

ROBIN!!!!

His the biggest enemy to the Batman franchise, look what happened as soon as he was in the movies. Robin just gets in the way. Worst decision ever by DC.

Batmans worst actual enemy is poison ivy probably, freeze is cool cause his story is pretty good, but ivy is just boring.

Think you are mixing up Bane and the KGBeast there Adam. Bane was born on a prison Island somewhere in latin America, and spent his whole life in the prison, doing time for his father I think. I will agree with you that he was just as intelligent as Batman tho, but I dont think he was a scientist. The venom that made him super-strong was given to him by scientists, testng it on the prisoners.

Of course the way comics work, I may have missed a re-tooling of the character somewhere along the way. Maybe he was russian.

[Scorchlord]

If you're going by the movies, pretty much any villain post-Batman Returns was bad (by my standards). Loved the Joker, Penguin, and Catwoman in Burton's movies, but the ones following were a disgraceful mockery of the comics.

But if you're going by comics alone, one of the worst villains I've ever encountered is Anarky. What a boring, annoying little shit.

Ha! To make things even worse, DC gave the little fuck his own series too awhile back! Talk about a waste of resources...


and trees...


and staples...

[Arathon]

Bane and Freeze. Bane especially annoyed me.

[Cronos]

Bane was terrible with Freeze and Ivy close behind

[Jas]

I don't want to be flamed, but i didn't really like Catwoman...I'm NOT saying she's the worst 'cause she's not!
But everytime she would say something as Catwoman, that sexy, seductive tone sounded too forced. :(

Christopher Walken in a grey mullet in BATMAN RETURNS.

[ilovemovies]

I thought Max Shrek was awsome bad guy! Of coarse any bad guy (or any guy period for that matter) played by Christopher Walken is awsome!

Freeze and Poison Ivy are the only villians I didn't like. I've enjoyed all of the others. Which kinda sucks about Freeze. He could have potentially been a really cool bad guy who actually has a somewhat interesting and tragic story. Of coarse really bad writing and bad acting on Arnold's part ruined that potential!

also, i think batman and robin was responsible for some of my visual impairment. stupid colorful movie.

[Giselle]

1.Mr. Freeze--the ravers glow mouth alone wins him worst villan not to mention the god awful dialogue spewing out of his rainbow brite mouth.

2. Bane--why they turned him into a one word caveman is a mystery to me.

3. The Riddler--The mask/ace ventura/cable guy ALL OVER AGAIN in a spandex question suit.

Who do you like then?

If we're talking about movies, the only ones I've liked are from the first two, but in comics, I find it hard to believe that anyone could hate The Joker, Two-Face, The Riddler, Cat Woman or The Penguin.

[Sigur509]

Mr Freeze

[El Bracamonti]

Freeze was bad, but I think that Bane was just a little bit worse.

[adamjohnson]

Bane is probably my favorite Bat villian NOW. (NOT the movie BAne)

The problem is that they completely changed him as a character. Bane is a super-intelligent/body-builder-hired assassin thats hired to kill Batman. Hes so intelligent in fact that he develops a serum to increase muscle mass.

Intellect wise hes equal to Batman.
Strength wise, he far surpasses him.
Making him one of the greatest foes for Batman, although he never has had much of a problem with society or anything like that, so cinematically, he wouldnt be very interesting methinks, because all he wants is to kill Batman.

But God I hope they bring him back.

[drdash]

has to be bane. they didn't follow his character at all. they just said he looks cool lets use him. that was a travesty and worse too be beaten by fatgirl.ughhhhhhhhhh

ciao
drdash

[Mickey A.]

I think the worst villain was definitely mr. Freeze.

Catwoman was also a poser. It's hard to fight against someone you love.

[bigred760]

Definitely Bane; he was awesome in the comic book and cartoon series, but a freakin' joke in the movie. Freeze and Poison Ivy were bad too, but Bane was the worst.

[Thiago]

Bane was horrible. I love Poison Ivy though! If she could kick ass, she would be my favorite villain. As Poison Ivy herself says-- "I'm a lover , not a fighther. That's why every Poison Ivy action figure comes complete with-- Bane". haha

[TornDaredevil]

Poison Ivy and Bane were terrible. Freeze was so over-the-top and fit with the rest of the shit movie that I didn't mind him too much.

Uma Thurman gave such a horrible performance, I'm surprised she ever found work again.

[B1rd_Po0p]

I hated the Penguin. He was repulsive, disgusting, and the movie would've been so much better without him.

[adamjohnson]

Actually, she gave the most stand out performance.

She was bad and campy ON PURPOSE. Everyone else just plain sucked.

[VictimOfChanges]

the worst batman villian was probablly king tut because if he was like 3000 years old he would just crumble

[RustyRazor]

King Tut was a history professor (Victor Buono) that got hit on the head and "thought" he was the original King Tut.


If you're talkin' 60's Batman, my worst is Vincent Price as Egghead.
The "egg" references in every friggin' sentence and that big bald head?
Come on!

If it's the new Batman movies, I definitely say Poison Ivy and Bane, but because Schumaker (the director) f**ked it up.
Everything had to be light FOR THE CHILDREN!
Everything had to be campy FOR THE CHILDREN!
It can't be too dark!
It's Batman! He's supposed to be dark and the villains are supposed to be EVEN MORE SO!
So what does Schumaker do? Throw a bunch of neon and day glow colors into a movie that could have been done a lot better and hung a dead mackerel around a lot of good actors' necks.

Thurman, Clooney, O'Donnell, Silverstone, even Schwartzennager can act. NO ONE could have saved this timebomb of a film.

[TylerDurden182]

Mr. Freeze. I still cringe when he sings and dances to frosty the snowman (Or whatever that movie playing is).

[SpacePuppet]

The shittiest Batman villian is probably Bane.

[Lord Raiden]

Surprised nobody picked the Scarecrow yet. What a waste! Very little screen time and



Spoiler Warning!!














Get zapped from Katie Holmes and runs off on his little horse :rolleyes:





End Spoiler

















But yeah Scarecrow sucked, just not as bad as the B&R trio of Freeze, Ivy and Bane

[Danger^Cart]

Dr. Fries is my second favorite batman villain of all time, and what they did to him was beyond horrible. It was...inhumane. I'll never forgive them for that, ever, and Arnold now damn near tops my deathlist.

However, my FAVORITE batman villain of all time was also misenterpreted in a batman movie as well.

THEY FUCKED UP TWO FACE SO BAD ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY. HE IS NOT A GAY ZOOKEEPER, AND EVERY SCENE AND CORNY LINE WAS UNCALLED FOR. FUCK SCHUMACHER, FUCK HIM IN THE ASS WITH A 12 FOOT POLE!!!!

phew...thank god it's over, and two-face is getting another shot. Thank God for Nolan.

He was done great. Dont worry - he'll be back, deformed face and all this itme.

[Danger^Cart]

Cillian Murphy played an awesome scarecrow. period.

And joker was done horrible. he wasn't menacing, and jack didnt play the joker, he just acted as silly as possible on screen. IMO.

[Lord Raiden]

To each their own. I think Scarecrow was a waste of (little) screen time and the movie would have still worked without him. What a waste of Cillian Murphy's talent.

[Danger^Cart]

I'm pretty sure I know what Nolan was trying to accomplish with the whole "taser face" thing, and that is an emphasis on his ultra practical realistic Batman. If a chick has a taser, and is being chased by a straight up psychopath on a stallion...she's going to fuckin use it. However I, along with many other people I presume, would have much rather seen a 3 to 5 minute chase sequence. Given the setting...It could have been very tense, and with Cillian Murphy's extraordinarily creepy acting abilities, could have been f'ing scary. But oh well, Nolan is a god among men, and whatever he does at this point is fine with me.

I've said it about a million times, but I think once more, and probably more after that, is called for.

Thank God for Nolan.

[Luke-Abbott]

Its a no brainer; the worst Batman villains (for me) are the ones who appeared in "Batman & Robin", with Bane being the worst of the bunch (and Freeze coming in second, with Ivy last).

Also, what I hated about "Forever" ('though I do like the movie) was Tommy Lee Jones' protrayal of "Two Face". The character is a cold, brooding type (kinda like Batman) but in the movie he might as well have been The Joker. Hopefully, Nolan's Two Face will redeem the character, which I'm sure he will since how well he made "Begins", any character is safe under Nolan's direction (then again, any character is safe AWAY from Schumacher's direction).

[18 WHEELER]

joker was the best
PERIOD!!!!!!

the original batman was what it was because of the joker. the joker is supposed to laugh and make jokes, and thats what he did, he danced around and laughed as he shot people. without jack as the joker in that movie, it wouldn't have been what it is. thats that and if you disagree your just insane and WRONNGGGGGG!!!!!

[Danger^Cart]

IMO (In my opinion) is your friend on this site guy, and trashing what other people think isn't...It's best you realize this...

For Instance,

IMO, Jack as the Joker was just as much a disgrace to the character as Shumacher's portrayals were. Had Jack played the Joker in a Schumacher movie, this would have been more apparent, and people would rip on it just as much as they do freeze. Jack is a fantastic actor...but that's all it was. It was just him being a jackass on screen...which is not the Joker. Not once while watching him as the Joker did I feel intimidated, or shocked by his behavior. Joker is supposed to be as sinister as he is off the wall. There is a difference between crazy and psychotic, Jack possessed the former, while Joker exudes the latter.

I can easily agree that his performance was fun to watch, but it hardly captured the Joker. Hopefully Nolan will realize this, and not try to re-capture what Jack did.

IN MY OPINION.

No waste at all.. Murphy played Crane not Scarecrow and either way the Scarecrow would've ended up the same way he did with longer screen time.

In all the comics the Scarecrow is defeated in the dumbest way and always runs off like a mentally retarded coward. They got the Scarecrow PERFECTLY.

[parsonz]

penguin was the one that i coulnt stand he was just simply stupid and pointless

[AaronisMe]

Yeah, Mr. Freeze wasn't a very good villain. He was morem enacing in Kindergarten Cop. And I din't like Jim Carrey's Riddler. His performance felt like something out of the Birdcage.

[firelight]

First off, I strongly disagree with the opinion of the joker being the worst villain. I think no one could be more menacing or psychotic than Jack Nicholson in that role, it was the perfect fit. I think there was a comment about him being too silly in his performance or something well...ya he is the Joker...that's pretty appropriate if you ask me. Secondly, I loved the Mr. Freeze from the animated series and wished they portrayed him in a similar manner during Batman and Robin. Although Arnold is one of my favorite action heroes, this time i think he has to take the fall for worst villain in the Batman franchise. "Ah there's my exit cue."

[WebHed]

Bane Ivy & Freeze hands down......heck just frisbee the whole B & R movie into the depths of HELL!!!!!!

[Ayestrain]

Who do you like then?

If we're talking about movies, the only ones I've liked are from the first two, but in comics, I find it hard to believe that anyone could hate The Joker, Two-Face, The Riddler, Cat Woman or The Penguin. [/B]

I actually thought Tommy Lee Jones' Two Face sucked badly. Maybe it was because he was too old, or he's the only villian who's genesis was shown in a 15-second news clip, or that he had no time to do anything interesting with his character against Carrey's cracked-out Riddler.

Two Face deserves on-screen redemption more than ANY other Batman villian, besides maybe Bane. I hope Nolan rectifies that.

Riddler is fairly lame, just a jackass Joker wanna-be...

[PreySlayDisplay]

wow, Batman and Robin was so bad I completely forgot that Bane was actually in the movie. I'm still gonna have to say Freeze sucked the worse though. Fuck Batman and Robin.

Just Look at this bullshit:
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c44/Kolors123/batman-and-robin-6.jpg

[cupajoe]

comics wise i would say the mad hatter and mr freeze both villians never wow'd me.

movie wise i would say mr freeze again he had the worst dialog in cinamatic history, i mean god awfull.

[Magneto]

Bane had to be the worst followed by Mr. Freeze. Any of the villains in Joel's movies (except Carrey's Riddler which I did enjoy). They all were laughing maniac Joker clones.

In comics, I would have to say the Mad Hatter. Just plain lame.

[darknite125]

Killer Croc I would say the Ventriloquist but that character has no middle ground he is either done great or terrible.

[Sonny488]

I'm goin with Mr. Freeze.

[Tagia_Romero]

Freeze. Arnie is a charismatic money-maker, but Christ, the character of Freeze deserved more integrity than what Arnie showed.

[ZMoney08]

Freeze was the worst for me but he made me laugh he was so bad.

[a7xfan]

freeze

[Ayestrain]

^ Maybe Ah-nold as Freeze. If were talking B:TAS Freeze, that's a whole other ballgame.

[bonoferox]

Bane was the worst in the films.

In the Batman universe, I've never cared for the Clock King, Egghead, King Tut or Ventriloquist.

[ashleyjenkins]

i thought the Riddler was kind of a pointless villain. Basically the same as the Joker.

[snoopmish]

Any character even related to the trainwreck that was Batman and Robin



100% agree...with Batman Forever not far behind.

[cupajoe]

maxi zeus was allways up there for me. also poison evy's story lines never excited me at all they just bored me its allways the same tired story or gag.

[Frosty_86]

Well in the movies its a tie between Bane and Mr. Freeze, Bane was supposed to be really mean and a brutal bastard in the movie he was a retard that was strong and there were too many ice puns for me to like Freeze. In the comic books my least favorite is probably Mad Hatter, he just never seemed like he could match up to Batman and also I never like Alice in Wonderland.

[hoojib127]

Pretty much every other villain/villainess outside of the 'main four' (Joker, Penguin, Riddler, and Catwoman) suck.

[Cemetary Man]

Worst Batman villain? Joel Shumacher.

Sorry, Joel. Lost Boys & Flatliners rock, though.

[athf1980]

the three villians in Batman & Robin

[cerealkiller182]

Hush

His story was based around every other villain and hasnt had a good story since.

[NuclearMisfit]

Worst Batman villain? Joel Shumacher.

Sorry, Joel. Lost Boys & Flatliners rock, though.

I agree

[GrayFox]

Like who created this character?

[K_Lincourt30]

OK, the villians in Batman and Robin were beyond disgrace, but what the HELL about Batgirl??? They screwed her up so bad...she's NOT Alfred's niece, a blonde OR a dumb shit. Alicia Silverstone was cast ONLY because she was all the rage in '95-'96. I was so disgusted.

[Hack]

For my tastes....she was also too chunky in the movie too.

[overwatch]

Replace Riddler with TwoFace and you'd be right.

[K_Lincourt30]

For my tastes....she was also too chunky in the movie too.


The Batgirl character from the movie seemed like she was paying homage to the Batgirl from the 1960's TV show. Not doing much, maybe a kick and a punch...pathetic!! The REAL Batgirl lives for the thrill of the adventure. She's eager to kick ass, and smart.

[XSsoCX]

Riddler- Love the Riddler and Jim Carrey. But not the two of them as one.

Bane- What the fuck did they do to him!?!?

[snoopmish]

DC Comics for killing him off!

Yes there will be the "Batman Lives" special in around a year or less......it better not be longer than a year. And Dick Grayson will be Batman for a while....... But Screw DC for killing Bruce Wayne!

[Hack]

I don't read comics anymore. when did they kill off Brucie?

[snoopmish]

The issue came out this week.

[casey_play]

Bane was worst
