![]() Honorable mentions for Suicide Squad’s Joker (Jared Leto) and Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), whom THR didn’t include since they did not appear in a Batman film, though they showed a lot of potential. Heath Ledger is the only person to win an Oscar for a superhero movie performance, and it’s unlikely his transformative work will ever be topped in a Batman movie. Nicholson delivered a performance as the Joker fans thought no one could top, and for nearly 20 years they were right. Both kids and adults leave this episode knowing who the real villains are. Jack Nicholson helped bring credibility to 1989’s Batman, which had its naysayers ahead of its release thanks to the then-controversial casting as Michael Keaton in the title role. Neeson was key to Nolan’s goal of bringing together an amazing cast to help sell Batman as something that could actually exist in the real world.

A group of Batman's enemies led by Killer Moth that includes Catman, Calendar Man, and Chancer. Corny origin story aside (we’re pretty sure getting bitten by cats does not give you nine lives), she’s truly the kind of larger-than-life figure you believe might actually do all this stuff. The first appearance and a brief fictional biography of each team is also listed. Michelle Pfeiffer delivers one of the most committed Batman villain performances ever in 1992’s Batman Returns. The following is a list of fictional teams, groups of supervillains, gangs, and organized crime families that are enemies of the Batman family, listed in alphabetical order by name. This version of Doctor Crane is also quite easy on the eyes. For this list, well be looking at the dark knights best adversaries. ![]() These villains know how to get under Batmans skin. The only villain to appear in all three of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight films, Scarecrow ( Cillian Murphy) began the trend Nolan pioneered of fantastical supervillains grounded in reality.
