@@bryanzarazua7221 - As much as I love Mr. Polka Dot, I agree that he hogs the spotlight way too much, and it's getting tiresome to see every "Hot Topic casual" cosplay as him for Halloween, and fake nerd fangirls obsessing over Polka-Dot . C'mon DC, show some underrated rogues like Joker or Harley Quinn some love too :((( we *true* hardcore fans deserve that.
@Randall Flagg I know right? We need more underrated villains like joker, penguin, bane, and Catwoman taking the spotlight instead of all these overrated villains like eraser, kiteman, zodiac master, mime, and penny plunderer!
i much prefer the arleen sorkin portrayals. i feel like once she quit voicing the character they just threw everything at the wall to try and recapture what they had with her.
I agree DC really needs to give the spot light to other villains besides the joker way more often heck finally give scarecrow his big main villain movie!... But I admit that doesn't change my mind that joker is number 1 in my eyes. The show Gotham has given me more respect to Riddler and penguin by the way! Villains really get to shine in that show.
Yeah. Cory Michael Smith is a great Riddler in Gotham. Robin Lord Taylor's Penguin is one of the best versions of him. Now we just need a better live action film Riddler than Jim Carrey. Freeze and Ivy deserve better live action film incarnations than the Schwarzenegger and Thurman ones too.
The problem with it was that they tried to combine the campy Freeze from the 60's comics and show who made ice jokes and stole diamonds to power his suit with the tragic Freeze from the animated series and it didn't work because him going from saying things like "Alright everyone. Chill"to getting pissed off when he thought Batman had killed Nora and wanted to freeze the world to avenge her was major whiplash.
@Mr. Rogues: Nice list, man, and congratulations on the 10k subs! Some of my top 20 favorite bat-rogues are: 20: Ras Al Ghul 19: Bane 18: Joker ( I love the character but I do feel that they overuse him a little too much) 17: Hugo Strange 16: Clayface (Basil Karlo) 15: Zsasz 14: Man-Bat 13: Two-Face 12: Calendar Man 11: Killer Moth 10: Scarface & The Ventriloquist 9: Black Mask 8: Killer Croc 7: Ratcatcher 6: Anarky 5: Lock-up 4: Riddler 3: Scarecrow 2: Deadshot 1: Firefly (Garfield Lynns)
@Slank-Bird Thanks man! You're amazing for having him be your favorite Batman villain as well! It's nice to know that there is someone out there that shares the same feeling as I do! ;-)
"I think Two-Face is the best thing since sliced bread, in fact he's better than sliced bread, i'd take Two-Face over sliced bread any day"- Mr. Rogues
My Personal 20 Favorite Batman villains are; 1. Killer Moth 2. The Penguin 3. The Riddler 4. The Scarecrow 5. Mr. Freeze 6. Two-Face 7. Imposter Mad Hatter 8. The Cavalier 9. Poison Ivy 10. Killer Croc 11. Maxie Zeus 12. The Ratcatcher 13. Black Mask (original version) 14. Calendar Man 15. Firefly 16. The Joker 17. Kite Man (hell yeah!) 18. Carmine Falcone 19. Man-Bat 20. Bane
@@darthgriffin7741 Mostly because I can identify with KM a lot, like how nobody takes him seriously and is treated as a joke. So the character is really relatable to me and probably other people. And I like moths.
I truly believe we are of one mind when it comes to how the Riddler is supposed to be portrayed. Sad to hear you feel that way about your old videos because I still thoroughly enjoy them. On to my top 20 20. The Ventriloquist & Scarface 19. Firefly 18. Deadshot 17. Man-Bat 16. Black Mask 15. Clayface 14. Harley Quinn 13. Mad Hatter 12. Hugo Strange 11. Killer Croc 10. Ras Al Ghul 9. Mr Freeze 8. Poison Ivy 7. Bane 6. Catwoman 5. Joker 4. Penguin 3. Riddler 2. Two-Face 1. Scarecrow I like Calendar Man and Maxie Zeus a lot too. It's not likely but I hope they get they're do one day in either comics or other media.
I agree with you What happened to Harley ? She's DC sweetheart now and that's make her boring, an girl power badass anti-hero... And her new visual design... :/ Also congrats and great video ^^
@Agarkse sydy. They could have had her break away from Joker while still being a villain in her own right. But they decided to make her an anti hero for some reason. She's not like Venom who started as a villain and became an anti hero which fit him because Eddie's been messed up in the head from the start and so it wasn't much of a stretch to turn him from a villainous character to a morally ambiguous one who sometimes does good and sometimes does evil. With Harley it became "She's popular so let's force her into everything" a problem Joker and Wolverine also have. When people say they want a popular character to appear more often the writers need to stop interpreting that as "They want them to appear in everything."
I’ll give five since I have stuff to do today but- 1. The Riddler I don’t know what it is, but I just love how he’s one of the only men who can be argued is smarter than Batman. 2. Mr Freeze Yeah he’s a little one note but not very villain should be someone who can show up over and over and over again. Besides that one note is extremely well made. 3. Scarecrow. Probably one of my few problems with Batman Begins is how underused Scarecrow is and than he’s revealed to be nothing but a pawn. At the very least make him like the right hand man of Ras Al Ghul. Though at least in Arkham Knight even though that game’s story kinda pissed me off. 4. Man-Bat (Bat squeals) 5. Killer Moth I don’t know why but I have pretty much a fetish for “anti bat men”. It’s a really cool premise so I hope we get more anti bat man KM stories than the weird demon moth hybrid.
You know I never really got Harley/Ivy. Like you got a woman who's whole personality and gimmick was built around The Joker. Right? And you got a woman who basically doesn't like anyone who can't do photosyntesis. Right? So what's the juncture point? It feels like a bad fanship that became canon. Sure technically they could put aside their sole fixations just to be a couple. But then it's not much of a fixation then, is it? I mean it's probably explored better in the books but it just doesn't jump at me.
I think the way to handle their relationship would be to have them pull each other out of their unhealthy fixations. Harley reminds Ivy what it's like to be human, and Ivy gives Harley a genuine love that doesn't involve abuse. Perhaps they drift away from their crime when they're together, but end up getting sucked back into their old ways whenever they're pulled apart by the Joker or other forces out of their control.
I thought I would never find a depiction of Catwoman that really fit what I though the character should be until I saw the episode Cult of the Cat from the animated series. The episode itself isn't that great, but Catwoman is perfect there for me. A greedy, arrogant thrillseeker who loves stealing from the corrupt, not for the sake of heroism, but because it's all the more dangerous, while also making it easier for her to avoid justice. Also, while not particularly 'evil', she is cerrtainly not above lying, cheating, and beating you over the head with a vase to get her way Still, she clearly has a soft spot for Batman, and will even go so far as to put herself at risk to help him. Just perfect. Every Catwoman should be just like that IMO.
My top five rogues 1. The Riddler because I love that smug attitude of his. 2. The Penguin because you have this goofy looking dude, is one of the most resected/powerful figures in the underworld. 3. Killer Croc because underneath all those sharp scales is a sad puppy dog. 4. Clayface because of his shapeshifting as well as being a former actor. 5. Mr. Freeze because despite being one note, if done well can be really interesting.
@@cybertron4618 Yes, sadly. I love Harley as well, but I don't like the direction she has been going in for some time now. Though I could be missing some hidden gems, for I have not read a lot of comics with her in them.
I'd say my favourite Penguins are the Danny Devito Batman Returns one, the one from the Arkham games, the animated series one, the comics one and the Gotham one.
Now I want another face reveal video! As for my own top 20...that is going to be tough. My favourites tend to change the more I think about them, just like your list. Well. Here goes..Top 20 bat rogues: 20. Black Mask. Generic gangster with a mask, but loads of potential. 19. Man Bat. A half man, half bat monster. How can you not love that concept? 18. Professor Pyg. A Perfectly deranged madman. 17. Firefly. While not as compelling as Heatwave, Firefly is still a disturbing rogue 16. Maxie Zeus. Great rogue in the bronze age, but sadly overlooked in the modern age. 15. Al Ghul. While not one of my favourites, I still respect the demon and his relationship with Batman. 14. Ratcatcher. Ratcatcher is a fantastic rogue and I wish someone would adapt him for a cartoon. He would have been perfect for a one shot villain in Gotham. 13. Killer Moth. A lovable loser Rogue. He is very persistent and that is why I like him. 12. Hugo Strange. Hugo may not look like much, but he a great foil for Batman and can be very disturbing. 11. Mad Hatter. Speaking of disturbed. I have always Liked Tetch, but I wish writers would treat him like a major bat villain for once. 10. Ventriloquist. I love Arnold Wesker and I was so happy to see him and Scarface appear in live action (Even if it was for one episode). Both funny and slightly disturbing, the Ventriloquist is not a rogue you should overlook. 9. Joker. I used to love Joker, but like Rogues, I have grown tired of Joker appearing in EVERYTHING. And the fan base is just as annoying. I still respect Joker, but he needs to be retired, at least temporarily. 8. Mr Freeze. You make a very good point Rogues. Victor's condition does make him a compelling rogue and I wish more writers would focus on this aspect of Freeze and less on Nora. 7. Clayface. Clayface is another great rogue who should be in a film one day. While I prefer Payne, I understand why most people love Basil. A former actor who goes insane and turns into a shape-shifting monster is a heart concept. 6. Killer Croc. A complex and tragic villain, who is constantly portrayed as a bumbling idiot in cartoons. I want a tragic croc. I would love to see a history video for Waylon. 5. Penguin. At first, I was not a Penguin fan, but after reading more stories with him, I consider him to be one of my favourites and I love the attention he has gotten over the years 4. Poison Ivy. The definitive female bat rogue. Unlike Harley, Ivy is actually be compelling villain on her own and I wish she was treated as such in the comics, instead of the "girlfriend" of Quinn. Such a waste. 3. Scarecrow. Scarecrow is a great villain and I would love to see a proper Crane film in the future. 2. Two Face. One of the darkest and most sympathetic villains ever created. Dent does not get enough credit, which is a shame since he is an awesome rogue. But my No. 1 bat rogue... 1. Riddler. Last year, I read more Riddler stories and I fell in love with Edward. He was my No. 1 bat rogue and one of my favourite comic book villains. He started out strong, but then he was reduced to a joke, but now he is getting the recognition he rightfully deserves. My list will most likely change in the future, but for now, this is my top 20 bat rogues.
How can you seem so SINGULARLY FOCUSED on two face? Seems antithetical. Great vid as always! Would really like to see calender man, zeus, and black mask shown off more
@@uzzab6937 In all honesty, I haven't actually read any comics with them in, mainly because I'm more into Marvel than DC. But I did watch Batman TAS where Lock-Up first appeared and it's one of favourite episodes. He has since been adapted into the comics and he did play a significant role in No Man's Land, arguably one of the best Batman stories ever. Outside of that it's mainly been small cameos. As for Catman, I really just like him as a character. Many people look at him and assume he's a copycat (pun completely intended) of Catwoman when he's actually fairly layered. He's basically the Batman doppelganger we've been looking for in that he's got essentially the same skill set, costume and even some of the same values, but lacks the moral centre that Batman has, preventing him from being a hero. That and I find characters that live with animals in the wild to be interesting. I hear Secret Six by Gail Simone was really good and he was a main character in that.

Congratulations Mr. Rogues. Your old videos are still pretty good. But onto the list! Top 20 Batman Villains: 20).Calendar Man 19). KG-Beast 18). Maxie Zeus 17). Black Mask 16). Victor Zsasz 15). Ratcatcher 14). The Ventriloquist and Scarface 13). Killer Croc 12). Dr. Destiny 11). Bane 10). Ra's Al Ghul 9). Mr. Freeze 8). Poison Ivy 7). The Penguin 6). Clayface 5). Firefly 4). Two-Face 3). The Riddler 2). The Joker 1). The Scarecrow
@@mr.rogues4145 Thanks. Dr. Destiny is a very minor Batman villain. But he's power set is so interesting. I am also writing a story involving him. Maybe DC will publish it someday.
Here are my top ten in terms of favorite (1 is the best): 10: Black Mask 9: Carmine Falcone 8: The Riddler 7: Scarecrow 6: Poison Ivy 5: Two-Face 4: Penguin 3: Bane 2: Ra’s al Ghul 1: Joker
Very true. I think when it comes to mobsters I tend to think of Penguin or Maroni, but admittedly Penguin should step out of that role a bit more. Maroni has his ties to Two-Face that prop him up a bit for me tho
Director Aaron Navy I can see your point. However, Maroni never seemed as much of a threat to Gotham as Falcone. I mean, if it were Falcone who was being prosecuted by Harvey instead of Maroni, he wouldn’t have snitched. Also, I don’t think that Maroni would’ve been on the witness stand in the first place if it weren’t for Falcone, but I still see where you’re coming from
@@alexandersmith7061 true, Falcone's often more of a threat. But I think Maroni had his role of "most powerful mobster" until Year One, when Carmine debuted
10. Black Mask (One of Batman's more realistic villains.) 9. Harley Quinn (Great character, just too over exposed nowadays) 8. Clayface (pretty scary conceptually) 7. Solomon Grundy (Basically what would Happen if Jason Voorhees became a super villain) 6. The Joker (good, but a bit overrated) 5. Bane (Venom is one hell of a drug) 4. Victor Zsasz (Another more realistic villain. Also scary as hell.) 3. Scarecrow (Namely due to the portrayal in the new batman adventures) 2. The Riddler (think jigsaw: but with a more dapper sense of fashion. Also he was fantastic in the Arkham games.) 1. Mr. Freeze (Probably one the most tragic villains in comics)
And thus we conclude this amazing trilogy of videos for milestone of 10,000 Two-Face Cultis--- I mean subscribers (lol 😂😂 😂)! But anyway though, with what was said in this list, I actually quite agree with it, especially in regards to the oversaturation of The Joker and Harley Quinn (but that don't get me wrong I still freaking love those characters as well), and your number 1 pick. After really diving deep into your videos, I am becoming much more appreciative of Harvey Dent (though me being a bias hack towards The Dark Knight and his mythos I already had quite a fondness for his character). It has honestly gotten to the point where he is my all time favorite Batman rogue as well (I guess I am part of the cult now lol 😂😂 😂). But enough of me rambling. This list is awesome and I cannot wait to see more!!! :)
I totally agree what you said about Harley. She'd probably still make my top 10, but that's mostly due to the Harley Quinn I grew up, i.e. the one from BTAS. She truly was a great character in that show. Funny, sympathetic and yet still a villain, not an anti-hero.
btw I think your old videos are still pretty good and I still watch them (I think you have a cool little creep factor in your voice and it has always been there just more now)
My top ten has slso changed since your original video two years ago,. 10. Catwoman 9. Poison Ivy 8. Clayface 7. Man Bat 6. Ra's Al Ghul 5. The Phantasm ( from Mask of the Phantasm) 4. Death Man 3. The Joker 2. Two Face 1. The Scarecrow Honourable mention: Talia
First of all: I feel your pain, regarding old works...though in my case, it mostly tends to be stories, rather than videos. Mostly. XD Anyway, your top ten seem mostly unchanged, but it was interesting to see the few changes that did happen, and I was also happy to see a lot of the others here. Of your top twenty, all of your choices are in my top twenty, too...except for Maxie Zeus and Calendar Man. While I agree both are underrated characters - perhaps especially Calendar Man - I can't honestly say they'll ever be among my most favorite Batman Villains. When I made my own list, which went all the way to 24, I don't think I gave them Honorable Mentions. On that note...I'm not sure if I'd change my own old Top 24 or not. The fact of the matter is that, as I've said before, I'm more of a "comic book character fan" than a "comic book fan." I watch and play more than I read, so to speak, when it comes to superheroes. I've been trying to mend that issue over the past couple years, and I would once again like to thank you, since you have actually been a big part of that personal effort. Anyway, the issue is that when I made the list, some of the characters on it I hadn't read ANY stories for. Now I've read at least a couple of stories for every single one of those 24, even if many of them I'm still not ESPECIALLY well-versed in. And...I'm not honestly sure if I would change it or not. It's difficult to explain; for example, I like Killer Croc a LOT more than I did when I made the list...but, at the same time, I'm not sure I like him more, still, than many of those above him. This is despite the fact that I've come to realize some of these characters - such as Ra's Al Ghul or Mr. Freeze - are actually a lot more interesting in other media than in comics. BUT, so is a certain Mr. Tetch...and on that note, one thing I CAN say is that my Top 8 (which he is a part of) will probably never change. Those choices, and their rankings, have basically stayed exactly the same since I was very, very young - like, still-in-Elementary-School young - and haven't budged an inch in all my years since. From Nine downwards, however? That's where things become harder for me to sort out. I guess the best way to put it is "My Favorite Villains Overall," not so much "My Favorite Villains from the Comics," if you get my meaning. ANYWAY, I believe you were planning to check out said list, so I'll wait for you to leave a comment on it (should you choose to) before I say anything else about it. I don't want to clutter the comments section, you see. :P It was interesting to see this remake, and congrats - for the third and final time - on this milestone, comrade! Here's to more fun from Arkham Asylum in the near future! ;) P.S.: This video made me chuckle and laugh a LOT. Bravo to your sense of humor, sir. XD
Harley Quinn blew up in popularity because people realized that she doesn’t have to be limited to being the Joker’s pitiful jester and that there’s a lot to explore with her once she’s emancipated from that sad, submissive role.
@@mr.rogues4145 DC/Marvel "equivalents" are as old as time itself and will never go away. Most fans don't seem to have a problem with that or notice the comparison since her popularity is bigger now than it ever was. I've never cared much for Deadpool but I love the modern Harley Quinn.
Rogues must have implanted a chip in my head heh, I find that practically his ideals on character portrayals reflect my own, clearly a man of refined taste, and my jaw opened when you mentioned how overrated Joker and Harley are/can get, thank you, someone finally said it. Great List
ive been watching since you still uploaded on the horror channel, (a long time ago) And I see how refined your vids have become very inspiring and impressive :)
Hey Mr. Rogues, would you consider a video----or video series----on what makes a good depiction villain X; like Two-Face or Riddler? My List: 1.) Two-Face 2.) Scarecrow 3.) Penguin 4.) Riddler 5.) Mr. Freeze 6.) Professor Pyg 7.) Mad Hatter 8.) Poison Ivy 9.) Black Mask 10.) Killer Croc 11.) Hugo Strange 12.) Victor Zsasz 13.) Anarky 14.) Calendar Man 15.) FireFly 16.) Deadshot 17.) Talia al Ghul 18.) Ventriloquist & Scarface 19.) Hush 20.) James Gordon Jr.
Top 10 10 / The Hatter 9 / Clayface 8 / Hugo Strange 7/ Hush ( we need a movie ) 6/ Two-Face 5 / penguin 4/ Riddler 3 / Harley Quinn 2/ Killer Crock And a few honorable mentions Mr. freeze Manbat Ra’s and Joker ( he is over used I still love him but also tired of him. ) 1/ Scarecrow.
As much as I love the Joker (my personal favorite Bat-Rogue actually ), I have to agree that his multiple appearances in popular culture can get a little old sometimes. I hope this comment makes you satisfied that there is a Joker fan who understands where you’re coming from. PS. I hope you’ve forgiven me for that History of the Joker request I gave you. 😅 Sorry about that.
20: Ras Al Ghul 19: Firefly 18: Harley Quinn 17: Deadshot 16: Poison Ivy 15: Ventriloquist and Scarface 14: Deathstroke 13: Catwoman 12: Red Hood 11: Killer Croc 10: Man Bat 9: Clayface 8: The Penguin 7: Mr Freeze 6: Black Mask 5: Bane 4: The Joker 3: The Scarecrow 2: Two Face 1: The Riddler

Killer Croc 7. Clayface (Basil Karlo) 6. The Penguin 5. The Ventriloquist/Scarface 4. The Joker 3. Killer Moth 2. The Scarecrow 1. The Riddler

Poison Ivy's ability to talk to plants is magic in origin. Plant being self aware is a big thing in the Swamp Thing runs in the comics, so that'sn't what makes her crazy. It's the complete true Psychopathy to all other forms of life, which she's been cured from in the comics becoming Harley's lover.
Here is my list: 1. The Penguin 2. Joker 3. Two-Face 4. Riddler 5. Mad Hatter (Both imposter and the Alice in wonderland one) 6. Catwoman 7. Ra's Al Ghul 8. Bane 9. Calendar Man (Not the locked up version) 10. Scarecrow 11. Black Mask (The original version) 12. Mr. Freeze 13. Carmine Falcone 14. Man-Bat 15. Killer Moth 16. Hugo Strange 17. Deadshot 18. Tweedledee and Tweedledum 19. Ventriloquist and Scarface 20. Kite man im honestly not a fan of Poison Ivy or Harley Quinn pretty sure Harley is my most hated character (please don't kill me)
And to be fair, mr. rogues in a way, dislikes harley, dude to the huge fanbase, i am not interpeting his thoughts as disliking harley, he just has thoughts that feel like dislike for harley.
@@Ayham4002 i do not think it's a coincedince, the fandom is already big enough for someone who isn't part of it to struggle to love harley, basically, people out of the look will not love harley.
Huh, I really has been two years since the 1k special, hasn't it? That's a bit weird to think about, in all honestly. Anyway, I wasn't really surprised by most of the positions, but it was fun just listening to you give brief descriptions for each character, even if we disagree on certain aspects - for example, I like the idea of Riddler seeing Batman as the ultimate riddle, but think that it should be a factor of their dynamic that develops with time, & that his compulsive need for attention should remain as his primary motivation throughout his career. I also like the idea of Harley becoming a bit more heroic with time, but really don't like how its been handled for the most part (literally all they had to do was keep going with the Gotham City Sirens concept & focus on them helping Harley get over the Joker), much prefer the heroic versions of Selina to the more villainous incarnations, & find Pamela to be much more interesting when her more sympathetic traits are explored over her just being a "crazy plant lady". Of course, there's also times where we completely agree. Killer Croc, for example, should not suck in non-comic media nearly as much as he does, but outside of The Batman & Beware The Batman (where he's still just a monster, but doesn't act like a total moron), he's just a generic dumbass brute, which is honestly just a massive shame. I remember talking about him with JJ a while back, where I said that the DCEU KC had the potential to finally represent Croc at his best, but the only dropped a few hints & showed glimpses of it, & it's so disappointing to think about what that Croc could've been, especially since he's already visually perfect, at least in my opinion. We also agree fully on Maxie & Calendar Man - both of them deserve another shot at being treated seriously, & have potential to be great High-B/Low-A Tier Batman villains. Hell, the only thing that Maxie needs is a one-shot to have his background, God Complex as position in the Gotham Underworld re-established. Julian would take a bit longer (there''s a lot of baggage carried in that goofy costume, after all), but I'm confident that it could work with enough effort put behind it. Anywho, I'm rambling at this point. The point is that this was a lot of fun, regardless of whether or not we agree on certain aspects of these characters.
Time sure flies. And I do prefer the more sympatehtic takes on Ivy too, it's just that I find she works both ways just as well, which is pretty unique for a villain.

@Ralph Simpson She bores me mate. I have never read one story of her's that I've actually enjoyed. I like the Gotham city Sirens but that due to Harley and Catwoman. Ivy just doesn't interest me.
I would take off Hugo Strange and man-bat. Add Kite man and Solomon Grundy. I would replace Ra’s( i say it like you do) with talia. Otherwise, I would just be shuffling characters. This is also assuming Clock king is a green arrow villain. Btw Harley is not a villain anymore. She is the Deadpool of DC.
Wish I read as many classic stories as you but the stories from your channel I’ve read I’ve actually rlly enjoyed so here’s my list based off everything batman I’ve read or watched which is mainly comics, thought of the Arkham games, a bit and the Nolan films and some animated movies which is basically all the media I have a say in. 20.Carmine Falcone 19.mr bloom 18.the mad hatter 17.poision ivy 16.hugo strange 15.black mask 14.The penguin 13.Deadshot 12.Harley Quinn 11.Ras al ghoul 10.clayface 9.Man bat 8.The scarecrow 7.The court of owls 6.Bane 5.Mr freeze 4.Catwoman 3.The riddler 2.Two face 1.The joker

Yeah. Cory Michael Smith is a great Riddler in Gotham. Robin Lord Taylor's Penguin is one of the best versions of him. Now we just need a better live action film Riddler than Jim Carrey. Freeze and Ivy deserve better live action film incarnations than the Schwarzenegger and Thurman ones too.
Scarecrow needs another shot at a movie, but this time as the main villain.
@@Xehanort10 I don't know, Arnold Schwarzenegger's take on Mr Freeze was alright, especially considering he shaved his head for that role
@@tayojones9460 wasn't he one of the main villains in "Batman Begins"?
The problem with it was that they tried to combine the campy Freeze from the 60's comics and show who made ice jokes and stole diamonds to power his suit with the tragic Freeze from the animated series and it didn't work because him going from saying things like "Alright everyone. Chill"to getting pissed off when he thought Batman had killed Nora and wanted to freeze the world to avenge her was major whiplash.
Your old videos aren't bad there still good
Sorry I accidentally hit dislike button but I corrected it by hitting the like button.

It's a *damn* shame you don't write for comics. Your characterization of Riddler is spot on perfection 👌👌👌
Could always join the writing rp crowd
I'm part of that writing rp since forever with a fanfic series called Gotham adventures so if anyone interested in discussing maybe we can hit up
@@brucesmith2143 interesting.
@@Purified_Water_Enjoyer yup
@@brucesmith2143 im interested.I want to know about it.
@@Purified_Water_Enjoyer it's more of an what if fanfic series. Remember that episode from Batman the animated series called Growing pains 😉

Thomas Marino not that I’m saying killer moth is bad or even not one of the better rogues, but may I ask why he’s your number one?
@@darthgriffin7741 Mostly because I can identify with KM a lot, like how nobody takes him seriously and is treated as a joke. So the character is really relatable to me and probably other people. And I like moths.
Upvote for Carmine Falcone and Cavalier
@@tomoldg you can probably identify the one from Teen Titans maybe
@@damianprock1650 the TT Killer Moth is alright, but I prefer costumed villains.
I truly believe we are of one mind when it comes to how the Riddler is supposed to be portrayed. Sad to hear you feel that way about your old videos because I still thoroughly enjoy them. On to my top 20
20. The Ventriloquist & Scarface
19. Firefly
18. Deadshot
17. Man-Bat

I like Calendar Man and Maxie Zeus a lot too. It's not likely but I hope they get they're do one day in either comics or other media.
I agree with you
What happened to Harley ? She's DC sweetheart now and that's make her boring, an girl power badass anti-hero...
And her new visual design...
:/
Also congrats and great video ^^
darth piett sort of. She has it in heroes in crisis but no where else and I’m expecting it to go away completely again
@Agarkse sydy. They could have had her break away from Joker while still being a villain in her own right. But they decided to make her an anti hero for some reason. She's not like Venom who started as a villain and became an anti hero which fit him because Eddie's been messed up in the head from the start and so it wasn't much of a stretch to turn him from a villainous character to a morally ambiguous one who sometimes does good and sometimes does evil. With Harley it became "She's popular so let's force her into everything" a problem Joker and Wolverine also have. When people say they want a popular character to appear more often the writers need to stop interpreting that as "They want them to appear in everything."
She pretty much became dc Deadpool
Exactly. Harley is just annoying and one dimensional now. I think she is even more overexposed than Joker!
@@JokerFan-hj4iv True, but Deadpool works and she don't
For me
5. Professor Pyg
4. Joker
3. Mr. Freeze
2. Penguin
1. Calendar Man
Calendar Man at number 1? A man of sophisticated taste I see

20. James Gordon Jr.
Bane shoulda been 1.
Good list
Penguin over basically all the best supervillians? nah your opinions and list is invalid
I’ll give five since I have stuff to do today but-
1. The Riddler
I don’t know what it is, but I just love how he’s one of the only men who can be argued is smarter than Batman.
2. Mr Freeze
Yeah he’s a little one note but not very villain should be someone who can show up over and over and over again. Besides that one note is extremely well made.
3. Scarecrow.
Probably one of my few problems with Batman Begins is how underused Scarecrow is and than he’s revealed to be nothing but a pawn. At the very least make him like the right hand man of Ras Al Ghul. Though at least in Arkham Knight even though that game’s story kinda pissed me off.
4. Man-Bat
(Bat squeals)
5. Killer Moth
I don’t know why but I have pretty much a fetish for “anti bat men”. It’s a really cool premise so I hope we get more anti bat man KM stories than the weird demon moth hybrid.
I don’t think that the riddler is actually smarter than Batman, but his ego is certainly bigger.
Great video. It was awesome seeing your views on all these villians. Also, for your Killer Croc, maybe a Top 5 comic covers.
Thanks! I've thought about it, but those videos aren't too popular.
20. Firefly
19. Maxie Zeus
18. Bane
17. Victor Zsasz
16. Ra's Al Ghul
15. Harley Quinn
14. Manbat
13. Killer Croc
12. Catwoman
11. Hugo Strange
10. Poison Ivy
9. Mister Freeze
8. The Mad Hatter
7. Clayface
6. Scarecrow
5. Penguin
4. Joker
3. Riddler
2. Two-face
1. The Ventriloquist and Scarface
You know I never really got Harley/Ivy.
Like you got a woman who's whole personality and gimmick was built around The Joker. Right?
And you got a woman who basically doesn't like anyone who can't do photosyntesis. Right? So what's the juncture point? It feels like a bad fanship that became canon.
Sure technically they could put aside their sole fixations just to be a couple. But then it's not much of a fixation then, is it?
I mean it's probably explored better in the books but it just doesn't jump at me.
Batzarro it’s not explored well at all. It’s literally just fanservice. Their relationship never develops or progresses
I think the way to handle their relationship would be to have them pull each other out of their unhealthy fixations. Harley reminds Ivy what it's like to be human, and Ivy gives Harley a genuine love that doesn't involve abuse. Perhaps they drift away from their crime when they're together, but end up getting sucked back into their old ways whenever they're pulled apart by the Joker or other forces out of their control.
You're old videos are great to me actually
I thought I would never find a depiction of Catwoman that really fit what I though the character should be until I saw the episode Cult of the Cat from the animated series. The episode itself isn't that great, but Catwoman is perfect there for me. A greedy, arrogant thrillseeker who loves stealing from the corrupt, not for the sake of heroism, but because it's all the more dangerous, while also making it easier for her to avoid justice. Also, while not particularly 'evil', she is cerrtainly not above lying, cheating, and beating you over the head with a vase to get her way Still, she clearly has a soft spot for Batman, and will even go so far as to put herself at risk to help him. Just perfect. Every Catwoman should be just like that IMO.
My top five rogues
1. The Riddler because I love that smug attitude of his.
2. The Penguin because you have this goofy looking dude, is one of the most resected/powerful figures in the underworld.
3. Killer Croc because underneath all those sharp scales is a sad puppy dog.
4. Clayface because of his shapeshifting as well as being a former actor.
5. Mr. Freeze because despite being one note, if done well can be really interesting.
Agreed
I agree with this list.
Congrats rogues you deserve it
Thanks!
I agree 100% about your Harley comments.
Same
I am also picky with my Riddlers, but I am even pickier with my Penguins 😁
@@cybertron4618 Yes, sadly. I love Harley as well, but I don't like the direction she has been going in for some time now. Though I could be missing some hidden gems, for I have not read a lot of comics with her in them.
I'd say my favourite Penguins are the Danny Devito Batman Returns one, the one from the Arkham games, the animated series one, the comics one and the Gotham one.
@@Xehanort10 personally I don't like the Danny Devito penguin, nor the Arkham one, but those are the penguin's people generally think of.
I hated the way Riddler was Wasted in YJ.for such a great show, YJ failed with the bat and flash rogues.
Don't lay an egg birdbrain
Now I want another face reveal video!
As for my own top 20...that is going to be tough. My favourites tend to change the more I think about them, just like your list.
Well. Here goes..Top 20 bat rogues:
20. Black Mask. Generic gangster with a mask, but loads of potential.
19. Man Bat. A half man, half bat monster. How can you not love that concept?
18. Professor Pyg. A Perfectly deranged madman.
17. Firefly. While not as compelling as Heatwave, Firefly is still a disturbing rogue
16. Maxie Zeus. Great rogue in the bronze age, but sadly overlooked in the modern age.
15. Al Ghul. While not one of my favourites, I still respect the demon and his relationship with Batman.
14. Ratcatcher. Ratcatcher is a fantastic rogue and I wish someone would adapt him for a cartoon. He would have been perfect for a one shot villain in Gotham.
13. Killer Moth. A lovable loser Rogue. He is very persistent and that is why I like him.
12. Hugo Strange. Hugo may not look like much, but he a great foil for Batman and can be very disturbing.
11. Mad Hatter. Speaking of disturbed. I have always Liked Tetch, but I wish writers would treat him like a major bat villain for once.
10. Ventriloquist. I love Arnold Wesker and I was so happy to see him and Scarface appear in live action (Even if it was for one episode). Both funny and slightly disturbing, the Ventriloquist is not a rogue you should overlook.
9. Joker. I used to love Joker, but like Rogues, I have grown tired of Joker appearing in EVERYTHING. And the fan base is just as annoying. I still respect Joker, but he needs to be retired, at least temporarily.
8. Mr Freeze. You make a very good point Rogues. Victor's condition does make him a compelling rogue and I wish more writers would focus on this aspect of Freeze and less on Nora.
7. Clayface. Clayface is another great rogue who should be in a film one day. While I prefer Payne, I understand why most people love Basil. A former actor who goes insane and turns into a shape-shifting monster is a heart concept.
6. Killer Croc. A complex and tragic villain, who is constantly portrayed as a bumbling idiot in cartoons. I want a tragic croc. I would love to see a history video for Waylon.
5. Penguin. At first, I was not a Penguin fan, but after reading more stories with him, I consider him to be one of my favourites and I love the attention he has gotten over the years
4. Poison Ivy. The definitive female bat rogue. Unlike Harley, Ivy is actually be compelling villain on her own and I wish she was treated as such in the comics, instead of the "girlfriend" of Quinn. Such a waste.
3. Scarecrow. Scarecrow is a great villain and I would love to see a proper Crane film in the future.
2. Two Face. One of the darkest and most sympathetic villains ever created. Dent does not get enough credit, which is a shame since he is an awesome rogue. But my No. 1 bat rogue...
1. Riddler. Last year, I read more Riddler stories and I fell in love with Edward. He was my No. 1 bat rogue and one of my favourite comic book villains. He started out strong, but then he was reduced to a joke, but now he is getting the recognition he rightfully deserves.
My list will most likely change in the future, but for now, this is my top 20 bat rogues.
It is so sad that Riddler is treated as a joke- he is fantastic.
You sir are a true intellectual, Edward Nygma afterall is the greatest Batman villain of all time
How can you seem so SINGULARLY FOCUSED on two face? Seems antithetical.
Great vid as always! Would really like to see calender man, zeus, and black mask shown off more
This is the first video that managed to make me laugh a bit, I'm glad you implemented a tiny teency weency ounce of comedy in here.

Bro, there is zero hate for a fellow Killer Moth and Impostor Mad Hatter fan.
Any good Lock-Up and Catman stories?
@@uzzab6937 In all honesty, I haven't actually read any comics with them in, mainly because I'm more into Marvel than DC. But I did watch Batman TAS where Lock-Up first appeared and it's one of favourite episodes. He has since been adapted into the comics and he did play a significant role in No Man's Land, arguably one of the best Batman stories ever. Outside of that it's mainly been small cameos.
As for Catman, I really just like him as a character. Many people look at him and assume he's a copycat (pun completely intended) of Catwoman when he's actually fairly layered. He's basically the Batman doppelganger we've been looking for in that he's got essentially the same skill set, costume and even some of the same values, but lacks the moral centre that Batman has, preventing him from being a hero. That and I find characters that live with animals in the wild to be interesting. I hear Secret Six by Gail Simone was really good and he was a main character in that.
Rocket Rita? I think you mean Roxy Rocket.
Kite man, hell yeah!

Thank you! Nice list, although I would call Doc Destiny a JLA rogue.
@@mr.rogues4145 Thanks. Dr. Destiny is a very minor Batman villain. But he's power set is so interesting. I am also writing a story involving him. Maybe DC will publish it someday.
I think a batman film with scarecrow and man bat would be awesome
Congrats my man! Here’s to another 10K
Thanks, Mothy! Sorry I haven't made a video about you yet, though...
Ahhh, it’s fine. As long as you do it in the future, it’s all good. 👍🏻
Here are my top ten in terms of favorite (1 is the best):
10: Black Mask
9: Carmine Falcone
8: The Riddler
7: Scarecrow
6: Poison Ivy
5: Two-Face
4: Penguin
3: Bane
2: Ra’s al Ghul
1: Joker
Would you care to explain Falcone's ranking? It's a very interesting and unique choice so I'm curious
Director Aaron Navy I just feel like with all these extravagant villains and criminal masterminds, a classic mob boss should get some credit
Very true. I think when it comes to mobsters I tend to think of Penguin or Maroni, but admittedly Penguin should step out of that role a bit more. Maroni has his ties to Two-Face that prop him up a bit for me tho
Director Aaron Navy
I can see your point. However, Maroni never seemed as much of a threat to Gotham as Falcone. I mean, if it were Falcone who was being prosecuted by Harvey instead of Maroni, he wouldn’t have snitched. Also, I don’t think that Maroni would’ve been on the witness stand in the first place if it weren’t for Falcone, but I still see where you’re coming from
@@alexandersmith7061 true, Falcone's often more of a threat. But I think Maroni had his role of "most powerful mobster" until Year One, when Carmine debuted
The 10k Tri-Force has been completed.
10. Black Mask (One of Batman's more realistic villains.)
9. Harley Quinn (Great character, just too over exposed nowadays)
8. Clayface (pretty scary conceptually)
7. Solomon Grundy (Basically what would Happen if Jason Voorhees became a super villain)
6. The Joker (good, but a bit overrated)
5. Bane (Venom is one hell of a drug)
4. Victor Zsasz (Another more realistic villain. Also scary as hell.)
3. Scarecrow (Namely due to the portrayal in the new batman adventures)
2. The Riddler (think jigsaw: but with a more dapper sense of fashion. Also he was fantastic in the Arkham games.)
1. Mr. Freeze (Probably one the most tragic villains in comics)
And thus we conclude this amazing trilogy of videos for milestone of 10,000 Two-Face Cultis--- I mean subscribers (lol 😂😂 😂)! But anyway though, with what was said in this list, I actually quite agree with it, especially in regards to the oversaturation of The Joker and Harley Quinn (but that don't get me wrong I still freaking love those characters as well), and your number 1 pick. After really diving deep into your videos, I am becoming much more appreciative of Harvey Dent (though me being a bias hack towards The Dark Knight and his mythos I already had quite a fondness for his character). It has honestly gotten to the point where he is my all time favorite Batman rogue as well (I guess I am part of the cult now lol 😂😂 😂).
But enough of me rambling. This list is awesome and I cannot wait to see more!!! :)
Excellent, another one joins us! Soon our plans will be complete!
@@mr.rogues4145 Indeed! XD :)
I totally agree what you said about Harley. She'd probably still make my top 10, but that's mostly due to the Harley Quinn I grew up, i.e. the one from BTAS. She truly was a great character in that show. Funny, sympathetic and yet still a villain, not an anti-hero.
Congratulations on the 10k subscribers!
I like the way you roll your Rrrrrrs! 👍👍
btw I think your old videos are still pretty good and I still watch them (I think you have a cool little creep factor in your voice and it has always been there just more now)
Thanks for hearting this, it feels good to be noticed by your idol.
My top ten has slso changed since
your original video two years ago,.
10. Catwoman
9. Poison Ivy
8. Clayface
7. Man Bat
6. Ra's Al Ghul
5. The Phantasm ( from Mask of the Phantasm)
4. Death Man
3. The Joker
2. Two Face
1. The Scarecrow
Honourable mention: Talia
First of all: I feel your pain, regarding old works...though in my case, it mostly tends to be stories, rather than videos. Mostly. XD
Anyway, your top ten seem mostly unchanged, but it was interesting to see the few changes that did happen, and I was also happy to see a lot of the others here. Of your top twenty, all of your choices are in my top twenty, too...except for Maxie Zeus and Calendar Man. While I agree both are underrated characters - perhaps especially Calendar Man - I can't honestly say they'll ever be among my most favorite Batman Villains. When I made my own list, which went all the way to 24, I don't think I gave them Honorable Mentions.
On that note...I'm not sure if I'd change my own old Top 24 or not. The fact of the matter is that, as I've said before, I'm more of a "comic book character fan" than a "comic book fan." I watch and play more than I read, so to speak, when it comes to superheroes. I've been trying to mend that issue over the past couple years, and I would once again like to thank you, since you have actually been a big part of that personal effort.
Anyway, the issue is that when I made the list, some of the characters on it I hadn't read ANY stories for. Now I've read at least a couple of stories for every single one of those 24, even if many of them I'm still not ESPECIALLY well-versed in. And...I'm not honestly sure if I would change it or not. It's difficult to explain; for example, I like Killer Croc a LOT more than I did when I made the list...but, at the same time, I'm not sure I like him more, still, than many of those above him. This is despite the fact that I've come to realize some of these characters - such as Ra's Al Ghul or Mr. Freeze - are actually a lot more interesting in other media than in comics. BUT, so is a certain Mr. Tetch...and on that note, one thing I CAN say is that my Top 8 (which he is a part of) will probably never change. Those choices, and their rankings, have basically stayed exactly the same since I was very, very young - like, still-in-Elementary-School young - and haven't budged an inch in all my years since. From Nine downwards, however? That's where things become harder for me to sort out. I guess the best way to put it is "My Favorite Villains Overall," not so much "My Favorite Villains from the Comics," if you get my meaning.
ANYWAY, I believe you were planning to check out said list, so I'll wait for you to leave a comment on it (should you choose to) before I say anything else about it. I don't want to clutter the comments section, you see. :P
It was interesting to see this remake, and congrats - for the third and final time - on this milestone, comrade! Here's to more fun from Arkham Asylum in the near future! ;)
P.S.: This video made me chuckle and laugh a LOT. Bravo to your sense of humor, sir. XD
Harley Quinn blew up in popularity because people realized that she doesn’t have to be limited to being the Joker’s pitiful jester and that there’s a lot to explore with her once she’s emancipated from that sad, submissive role.
And she became DC's Deadpool....
@@mr.rogues4145 DC/Marvel "equivalents" are as old as time itself and will never go away. Most fans don't seem to have a problem with that or notice the comparison since her popularity is bigger now than it ever was. I've never cared much for Deadpool but I love the modern Harley Quinn.
LOL OMG LOVED this video so much, you are soooooooooooooooooooooo talented Rouge Man
Congrats on 10K bro i'm proud of you keep up the good work and remember Arkham asylum awaits you in the next Video.

Great list sir. Love all your videos. Congrats on the 10k.
Rogues must have implanted a chip in my head heh, I find that practically his ideals on character portrayals reflect my own, clearly a man of refined taste, and my jaw opened when you mentioned how overrated Joker and Harley are/can get, thank you, someone finally said it. Great List
I did it while you slept. And I've nagged about those two plenty times in the past though... :P
Does the chip tell you why on earth Crazy Quilt is on the thumbnail but is in no way referenced in the video?
Red herring?
The long Halloween did julian day right!
He's called Black Mask, not TORTURE MAN!!! LOL! I love this channel.

As much as I love the Joker (my personal favorite Bat-Rogue actually ), I have to agree that his multiple appearances in popular culture can get a little old sometimes. I hope this comment makes you satisfied that there is a Joker fan who understands where you’re coming from.
PS. I hope you’ve forgiven me for that History of the Joker request I gave you. 😅 Sorry about that.

Poison Ivy's ability to talk to plants is magic in origin. Plant being self aware is a big thing in the Swamp Thing runs in the comics, so that'sn't what makes her crazy. It's the complete true Psychopathy to all other forms of life, which she's been cured from in the comics becoming Harley's lover.
Your old videos were good. They were the first I ever seen.
Kite Man!! Hell yeah!!
Hell no... ;)

20. Kite man
im honestly not a fan of Poison Ivy or Harley Quinn pretty sure Harley is my most hated character (please don't kill me)
And to be fair, mr. rogues in a way, dislikes harley, dude to the huge fanbase, i am not interpeting his thoughts as disliking harley, he just has thoughts that feel like dislike for harley.
Oh, so that's why you have a penguin profile picture, ok, fitting.
i also hate Harley not just for the fandom but for a hell ton of reasons. It's just a coincidence that me and mr rogues both hate her
@@Ayham4002 i do not think it's a coincedince, the fandom is already big enough for someone who isn't part of it to struggle to love harley, basically, people out of the look will not love harley.
i see
Homeboy said Indiana Yones bro I’m dead.
Seeing this reminds me of community post on the imaginary axis channel about ideas for a batman game in the same style as persona 5 and the like
Huh, I really has been two years since the 1k special, hasn't it? That's a bit weird to think about, in all honestly.
Anyway, I wasn't really surprised by most of the positions, but it was fun just listening to you give brief descriptions for each character, even if we disagree on certain aspects - for example, I like the idea of Riddler seeing Batman as the ultimate riddle, but think that it should be a factor of their dynamic that develops with time, & that his compulsive need for attention should remain as his primary motivation throughout his career. I also like the idea of Harley becoming a bit more heroic with time, but really don't like how its been handled for the most part (literally all they had to do was keep going with the Gotham City Sirens concept & focus on them helping Harley get over the Joker), much prefer the heroic versions of Selina to the more villainous incarnations, & find Pamela to be much more interesting when her more sympathetic traits are explored over her just being a "crazy plant lady".
Of course, there's also times where we completely agree. Killer Croc, for example, should not suck in non-comic media nearly as much as he does, but outside of The Batman & Beware The Batman (where he's still just a monster, but doesn't act like a total moron), he's just a generic dumbass brute, which is honestly just a massive shame. I remember talking about him with JJ a while back, where I said that the DCEU KC had the potential to finally represent Croc at his best, but the only dropped a few hints & showed glimpses of it, & it's so disappointing to think about what that Croc could've been, especially since he's already visually perfect, at least in my opinion.
We also agree fully on Maxie & Calendar Man - both of them deserve another shot at being treated seriously, & have potential to be great High-B/Low-A Tier Batman villains. Hell, the only thing that Maxie needs is a one-shot to have his background, God Complex as position in the Gotham Underworld re-established. Julian would take a bit longer (there''s a lot of baggage carried in that goofy costume, after all), but I'm confident that it could work with enough effort put behind it.
Anywho, I'm rambling at this point. The point is that this was a lot of fun, regardless of whether or not we agree on certain aspects of these characters.
Time sure flies.
And I do prefer the more sympatehtic takes on Ivy too, it's just that I find she works both ways just as well, which is pretty unique for a villain.

@Ralph Simpson She bores me mate. I have never read one story of her's that I've actually enjoyed. I like the Gotham city Sirens but that due to Harley and Catwoman. Ivy just doesn't interest me.
The ending to this video 17:49 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I would take off Hugo Strange and man-bat. Add Kite man and Solomon Grundy. I would replace Ra’s( i say it like you do) with talia. Otherwise, I would just be shuffling characters. This is also assuming Clock king is a green arrow villain.
Btw Harley is not a villain anymore. She is the Deadpool of DC.
Yes, I've noticed that Harley seems to have become some sort of Deadpool character....
@@mr.rogues4145 and that's a damn shame I mean come on DC don't copy that from Marval 😖🤭
@@brucesmith2143 They kinda did copy marvel in the silver age, it was meant to make marvel characters look bad.
@@KIMTUANVIETNAM yikes
@@brucesmith2143 it's bad to copy marvel, but it's worse to try and make chraacters from marvel look bad, not a good way to try and beat marvel.
Wish I read as many classic stories as you but the stories from your channel I’ve read I’ve actually rlly enjoyed so here’s my list based off everything batman I’ve read or watched which is mainly comics, thought of the Arkham games, a bit and the Nolan films and some animated movies which is basically all the media I have a say in.

I have always felt that croc should be from haly's circus and be like a former brother figure to robin.
I can't ignore the fact that Black Mask appeared as the main villain on Under the Red Hood movie and Red Hood and the Outlaws comic series...
if I was to guess, I think DC is trying to make Black Mask Red Hood's main villain...
We need a top 50 bat comics.
I guess when I get 50k subs I can do that ;)
Where's the Music Meister? The one from the Brave and the Bold.
This was amaizing
I thought Two-Face would be number two.
