    In reference to your section on Colin Ferrell’s Penguin:
    I absolutely loved his performance and love the character in The Batman. The one thing that makes Penguin stand out in my opinion is the fact that he is also from a wealthy, old money family from Gotham and that is what should be focused on in the future. He should be just as much a foil to Bruce Wayne’s persona as he is to Batman. This focus would bring us something we haven’t seen before. Let’s see Oswald Cobblepot out “Bruce Wayne” Bruce Wayne.
    I would like to see them take the time to really give the villains their own personality to differentiate them from each other.
    No other villain can take on Bruce Wayne in Gotham’s social elite circles like Oz. Riddler as a Jigsaw puzzle killer is what I’ve wanted to see for some time, and think Paul Dano did great! Bane and Hugo Strange should be similar but Bane being more physical while Hugo is more methodical / intellectual with a more cerebral battle (similar to Riddler, but in a more manipulative way).
    Another villain I’d like to see is Zsasz. He should have been young Batman’s first villain other than the mob (Falcone and Muroni) in my opinion (similar to Kraven the Hunter should’ve been Spider-Man’s first villain). He could be the mob’s #1 hit man and have a reputation like John Wick. He would be a great villain for a young Batman getting used to the fact that he can’t save everyone.
    I didn’t mean to write so much and I know it is a little jumbled but I had to get some of my thoughts out there.

    Mr. Freeze is one of my favorite villains of all time because of his new canon in the Animated Series. I despise what Batman & Robin did to his character and I reeeally hope Matt Reeves has a new idea for him. People are saying he’s a big Mr. Freeze fan so I’m hopeful. His backstory is so tragic and a villain whose motive I understand. A lot of people would do the same thing on his position. His love for his wife is stronger than his hate for everything else except maybe Ferris Boyle, who caused the whole thing in the first place. I get almost a darkly romantic Candyman vibe from him. His lines in Heart Of Ice still stick with me.

    29:23 The comic, Batman Returns,Batman the Animated Series, Arkham, Gotham and this film's Penguins are all great IMO. One of the main points of his character is that people underestimate him and he uses that to his advantage. In Gotham he goes from Fish Mooney's umbrella boy to the top dog by being Falcone's inside man in Maroni's gang while playing those two off against each other.

    Heath Ledger's performance as Joker is one of my favorite performances of all time, never mind just comic book movies. I was hypnotized. Like Cody said, when Heath was on screen I barely could breathe. I was so intent at staring at the screen. When the movie was over I was shaken because he made the character seem so real, I couldn't fathom how someone could do that. It made me think about what pure evil looks like and it looked like the Joker.

    It’s hard not to put Heath Ledger’s Joker at number 1. It’s one of the best screen performances since the turn of the century, a perfect reinvention of a long established character, and proved to be massively influential in allowing others to be more creative in their interpretations of the same character and others. His Joker is so iconic in it’s own right that it’s really transcended the traditional Joker character himself and acquired it’s own prestige. I remember leading up to The Dark Knight’s release, everyone held Jack Nicholson’s Joker on that pedestal of “well, that’s how you do the Joker”, and then after the movie came out, NOBODY was talking about Nicholson’s performance anymore. That’s like an unprecedented upstaging of iconography. It’s just a really, really special character and performance.

    37:46 If not for Ledger's death we'd have definitely gotten his Joker a lot more and the original 3rd film plans sound like they were better than Rises. I also think Nolan planned to make a lot more than 3 Batman films but Ledger dying hit him hard so he stopped at 3.

      If not for Ledger's death, his joker wouldn't be so damn overrated. That's not to say, his performance was bad, but that wasn't even remotely close to how the Joker should act.

    Personally the 1966 Batman villains had my favorite outfits from a Batman show/movie, catwoman's outfit is very fitting for the character and amazing, the Riddler's outfit is awesome, the Joker's outfit is good but it does have its drawbacks, and the Penguins outfit is good but does look silly when you really pick it apart. Ether way while they may not be the best interpretations of the characters, you can't deny that these outfits are great.

    Kinda late but as much as I love the Riddler he never really felt like a treat to Batman, no matter what version Batman is, the Riddler always felt to me more of like a villain that slows Batman down rather than being a threat. I belive the 2022 Riddler is actually morebof a threat to Batman where you die if you don't solve his riddles. I know the Penguin is kind of a goofy villain for a lot of people, but he still seemed threatening, especially the time in Batman Returns where the Penguin bites off a person's nose. Ether way I will always love the outfit designs of Batman 66' and Riddler's laugh from that show, but the 2022 Riddler is my favorite Riddler.

    2. Hush
    3. Killer Croc (technically he was in Suicide Squad but he was underused, needs a second chance)
    4. Ventriloquist and Scarface
    5. Deathstroke (we did see Deathstroke as a big bad on Arrow Season 2 but damn we never got a live action Batman vs Deathstroke movie)
    6. Professor Pyg
    7. Hugo Strange
    8. Deacon Blackfire
    9. Firefly (the one we nearly got in Batgirl with Brendan Fraser was The Second Firefly; Ted Carson, NOT The OG Firefly Garfield Lynns)
    10. The Court of Owls
    11. Calendar Man
    12. Man-Bat
    13. Prometheus (another big bad from Arrow, but we haven't seen a comic book accurate Prometheus)
    14. The Mad Monk (one of Batman's very first villains, who is now forgotten, he's a Vampire)
    15. Great White Shark
    16. Martha Wayne's Joker (Lauren Cohan): Jeffery Dean Morgan would be Flashpoint Batman

    Great ranking, Cody. I was surprised to see Arnold Schwarzenegger's Mr. Freeze so high up, but I can kind of understand where you're coming from. At the very least, I would still take him over Jesee Eisenberg's Lex Luthor.
    Much like yourself, Cody, it took me awhile to understand the appeal of The Penguin, but if you dig deeply enough, there actually are some really good comics that feature him. "Pain and Prejudice" by Gregg Hurwitz and Szymon Kudranski in particular is a masterpiece and one of the best examinations of a villain that I've ever read. I highly recommend checking that out.
    And yes, as cliché and predictable as it might be, Heath Ledger's Joker truly is the best onscreen Batman villain that we have ever gotten. Not only is he an excellent, interesting interpretation of the classic comic character, but he also stands as one of the all time great villains of cinema. Even with all of the great adaptations we have gotten of Batman villains over the years, I doubt Ledger will ever be surpassed.

Neeson did well with a more realistic version where "Ra's Al Ghul" is just a title for the League of Shadows leader and as long as there''s always someone following the League's philosophy of destroying places they deem too corrupt to warn the world to shape up the persona will be immortal in a sense but there should be a Ra's that's literally immortal next not just metaphorically.
