Nice Sean. Keep the Batman rankings coming
Cool
For me my favorite are the Joker, Ra' Sal Ghul and Bane from the Dark Knight trilogy.
Hey Sean, just wanted to say I love watching these video's, you could also rank some of the more fleshed-out Gotham villains, cause they all get some kind of backstory or character arc, and some of these villains haven't been shown in recent movies yet (like Fish Mooney or Butch Gilzean)
Where is Maroni of TDK? I think if Carmine Falcone was in batman begins, Maroni should be on the list.
Two face in the Dark Knight is criminally underrated. Easily my number 2 behind the obvious number 1. They set up his arc as a fallen hero incredibly and his turn to villainy and death had such a lasting impact on everyone in the story and I just think he’s a fantastic villain who’s often overshadowed by Heath Ledgers Joker who is easily the best villain in any comic book movie ever.
Instead of die a hero he became a villain.
Two face is "underrated" because he was only two face for like 30 minutes.
Every thing about the Dark Knight is a masterpiece
I didn't like his inclusion in the film personally which is what lowered the movie in my rankings (yes I know I'm in the minority)
fax on fax on fax
Heath Ledger is just a special performance. One that isn’t going to be topped for a long time. May he R.I.P. legend.
He’s a legend Rip
A performance of a life time ❤️
His Joker never was the best to begin with in my opinion
@@jasonvoorheescampblood fair enough that’s fine
I thought Paul Dano came pretty close IMO. But still, no one’s beating Heath, yet. It’s just such a timeless performance.
Honestly, Paul Dano’s Riddler is my favorite. The way he acts and does things is so disturbing that it’s actually scary. The Riddler felt like a slasher villain but way smarter.
Loved him as Edward but really hated the look. Personality wise perfection. Look though....... Come on
agreed! love the look, voice, and the personality. the exaggerated way he speaks and acts is really fun and works surprisingly well with the more realistic approach
@@I_Am_The_Social_Reject The Design is a cool design for what matt Reeves was going for amh
Loved the riddler in the Batman but no, he is not the best Batman villain ever and there is no competition as to who he beats. I think we know who that villain is.
@@I_Am_The_Social_Reject I didn't love the look of his costume, but as with many things in The Batman, we are also seeing the proto version of Riddler so it didn't bother me. And it fit the serial killer vibe perfectly.
Ledger gave us a timeless performance as Joker. You don't see Heath Ledger playing the joker. You see THE JOKER.
I mean he actually drove himself insane for the role and in some ways it lead to his death
To be fair I don't think I've seen him in anything else so those aren't really different as far as seeing him versus just seeing the joker.
@@cyrisssmith8830 I first saw him in 10 things I hate about you actually it's a pretty cheesy highschool love movie but it can be charming
@@cyrisssmith8830 You've gotta check Heath Ledger out in The Patriot, A Knight's Tale, Monster's Ball and Brokeback Mountain. All these movies were successful and shows you how a truly talented actor he was!
Not really he's not that accurate as the joker. We see an amazing performance but we don't see the joker. If you want to see THE JOKER look at Cameron monaghans potryal in the show Gotham. It's the most accurate live action version of the joker (even though he technically isn't the joker)
Heath Ledger is the top and probably will be for awhile and Paul Dano’s Riddler is second for me, saw The Batman twice and he was Amazing with Colin Farrel as Penguin being third, Incredible. Would love to see your rankings of the Batmobiles.
Damn u saw it twice I'm gonna buy it when it comes out in June and take advantage of the 4k my grandpa couldn't even handle the violence in the movie
Nolan’s Scarecrow was easily a top 5 villain for me.
Same bro same
He’s one of the only people that didn’t underestimate Batman, definitely and Cillian was awesome any time he was there
It helps that Cillian Murphy played him perfectly, and I’m glad he’s going to be the lead role in Christopher Nolan’s next movie
Such an underrated villain.
"Ya need to llliiighten up."
Aaron Eckhart's performance as Two Face is extremely underrated. He nailed that downward spiral towards madness and his disfigurement was fucking frightening
I would love to see a new interpretation of Bane in the The Batman universe. Tom Hardy's Bane is great but I wouldn't say it's the best adaptation of the character.
I would say it’s the current best. The Bane from BTAS was really good but only had one really memorable episode. I didn’t play the Arkham games m up h so I wouldn’t know how good he was there, but he’s rarely mentioned when compared to some of the other villains from that game. The comics are the original medium that brought him to life, so I wouldn’t consider it an adaptation, but if we’re including it, then it’s still the best iteration of Bane. Hardy was excellent, though.
@@thetribalist6923 bane definitely gained A LOT of fans from the Arkham games. He was really really good imo. Would love to see that type of bane in a future movie but I WOULD LOVE to see an actually decent scarecrow in this universe almost like the scarecrow from Arkham knight. The one we got in Batman begins was soooooooo underwhelming and honestly was just a road block for Batman to get to Ra’s Al Ghul.
In my ideal Batverse I would have a spinoff show about Arkham, which we're getting, and a spinoff(s) about the Demon trilogy (The comics that are all about Ra's Al Ghul) and I would reintroduce a more comic book accurate Ra's, Talia, and Bane from 'Bane of the Demon' there.
@@thetribalist6923 bane from Arkham origins by far was the best interpretation of the character
I’ve heard a lot of people theorize that the injection Batman used in the last movie was a version of the venom serum. So we might see a comic accurate Bane on the big screen soon.
Arnold deserves a second chance to play a comic book character again
I always thought he would have been an ideal Bane. He’s a hulking figure, but Arnold himself is a very intelligent, calculating individual.
I’ve seen some people suggest him for Galactus..I think it would be pretty cool
He can be a really good bane
He was Turbo Man. That's close enough lol
I think Rob Walker from Channel Awesome described Arnold's performance for "Batman & Robin" the best, where he says: "He's like a crazy 80 ton gorilla and you don't know what the hell he's gonna do, but if you stay against the wall and don't do anything, you might get a few laughs out of it."
Is channel awesome even still around? I remember the channel about 5 or 6 years ago
@@ddm62571 it is
I'm not the BIGGEST fan of the Dark Knight Rises and I know he gets a little undercut at the end, but in my opinion Tom Hardy's Bane is a top 3 Batman villain. He's imposing, his performance is great, he's scary, and I love Tom Hardy's Shakespearean take on it. Though the movie is like only a 7/10, Tom Hardy's Bane is easily at least a 9/10.
Bane is supposed to be Hispanic and they white washed him… Tom hardy did fine in the role, but it was a terrible casting with horrible writing. Why did he talk like that? Why did he not have powers? It just under utilized not only bane but it made Batman overall weaker getting his ass kicked by bane
The dark knight rises is a much better movie then the Dark knight
@@streetfightervsxenoverse1832 fax
@@streetfightervsxenoverse1832 that's an interesting take. I'm glad you're not bullied into loving the Dark Knight by its cultish fanbase (I feel a large majority do. I even try to not like it every time I watch it because I think it's probably overrated, though I love it every time). Though I disagree with you, I respect you.
@@streetfightervsxenoverse1832 you clearly haven’t watched the Dark knight have you
Paul Dano did so goddamn good in The Batman, he portayed the Riddler perfectly!!
Heath Legder hands down. His performance made the Dark Knight what it was. No one is ever going to top The Joker in the dark knight. It changed everything. And set the stage for other films. 🖤🙏" why so serious? " ahhhh good times with that one!
Riddler and Bane are tied in second place. I can't choose because they are both a different kind of evil. Bane literally destroys you and doesn't hide. Riddler though is way creeper with his approach. Truly a silent killer. I don't know which is more terrifying.
It still blows my mind that Heath ledger never got to see the dark knight. Such a tragedy to see him go at such a young age
1. Joker from TDK.
2. Riddler from The Batman.
3. The Batman's Penguin (He's great and I may move him up when he's more developed.)
4. Selina Kyle from The Batman. (Even though she's not Catwoman in the movie yet, all her characteristics from the comics are there.)
5. A tie between Ra's Al Ghul and Scarecrow from Batman Begins.
My top 10 are:
10: Carmine Falcone 2022
9: Jack Nicholson Joker
8: Bane TDKR
7: Penguin 1992
6: Catwoman 2022
5: Ra's al Ghoul

Heath Ledger's joker is a "once in a lifetime" performance! Sad he never got too see it himself..

He probably saw the playbacks. I believe he knew he had created something special.

I agree with this, if Sean just swapped dent from TDK with pfifers cat woman I would agree 100% with it
@@DC-Supreme fr though
@@DC-Supreme frfr, she’s nowhere near as good as 7 and below.
@@starnerd064 Michelle Pfifer's Catwoman is WAAAY better than Ra's al Ghul, Bane and Cobblebbot. And she's a more fleshed-out character than the Riddler (although admittedly, nowhere near as villainous.)
How is crane on 13 Cillian killed it as scarecrow even for less screen time
Heath Ledger and Tom Hardy’s Bane 🐐🐐. Wish they interacted in that universe somehow lol
My top 5:
5. Riddler (Paul Dano)
4. Bane (Tom Hardy)
3. Two-Face (Aaron Eckhart)
2. Joker (Joaquin Phoenix)
1. Joker (Heath Ledger)
The worst would 100% be Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face. As a massive fan of the character, I absolutely cannot stand his version of the character. People love to say that Jim Carrey was too over the top, but god damn Jones was just unbearably overacting.
Joaquin's Joker isn't Batman villain yet
1. Joker (Heath Ledger)
2. Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer)
3. Bane (Tom Hardy)
4. Joker (Jack Nicholson)
5. Riddler (Paul Dano)
1. Joker (Heeth Ledger)
2. Bane( Tom Hardy)
3. The Riddler( Paul Dano)
As far as performance and threat to batman and Gotham you'd have to go joker (TDK) bane (tdkr) and riddler (the batman)
All three would have completely destroyed Gotham and all three were compelling and well portrayed. You gave bane a bad wrap because of his ending but rewatch that film and just look at what tom hardy can make you feel just by his eyes. Incredible acting by hardy.
All three I mentioned were acted out so well and all 3 could have easily defeated batman or brought down Gotham.
My top 3:
1. Heath Ledger Joker
2. Aaron eckhart Two Face
3. Margot Robbie Harley Quinn
Hey Sean, you should rank some of the Gotham villains aswell, some of them are very fleshed out personality- and backstory-wise
All of the villains are really good except like firefly and mr freeze (bane isn’t that great either)
@@marvelpugs6964 totally agree, bane was definitely the worst. They completely ruined him in Gotham. He wouldn’t even be in my top 10 favourite Batman villains but it makes me so sad how much they wasted him.
@@jackviner5181 yeah
wait baneee is in gotham??
@@JimboPro yep sadly. You wouldn’t even know it was him. Google him and check out the costume they made for him. It was horrible lol
My Top 5:
5. The Joker (1989)
4. Penguin (2022)
3. Bane (2012)
2. The Joker (2008)
1. The Riddler (2022)
#1 and #2 are extremely close and are practically a tie
My favourites are Jack Nicholsons Joker, Danny Devitos Penguin, Pfeiffers Catwoman, Scarecrow, Ledgers Joker, Bane, Colin Farrells Penguin, and of course the Riddler. I love every one of these portrayals so much, with Devitos Penguin and Ledgers Joker being my all time favourites
Top 5 for me is:
5. Jack's Joker
4. Bane
3. Ra's Al Ghul
2. The Riddler
1. THE Joker
I think Paul dano riddler was the closest we got since Heath ledgers joker

It’s gonna be tough to rank but my favorites are Joker(TDK), Bane(TDKR), Riddler(2022) and Scarecrow.
My least favorite is easily Talia Al Ghul.
I loved Michelle Pfieffer as Catwoman, everything about her, her transformation, lines, acting, costume, weeping everything very glad she's in a high spot, well deserved

I genuinely loved the Batman but the fact that we won’t get to see a Batfleck solo movie is a real bummer. Not getting to see Batfleck in a movie with Leto’s Joker is even more of a bummer
I would love Afleck Batman vs Jared Leto or Joaquin Joker. Such a shame
yeah the Penguin in The Batman was fantastic

Mr freeze over carreys riddler is a crime, that riddler is so underrated
This has to be my favorite video you have made. Love it!
Paul dano’s performance and portraying a new riddler was outstanding
My top 5 are:
1. Joker (Dark knight)
2. Riddler (The Batman)
3. Ras Al Ghul (Batman Begins)
4. Bane (Dark knight rises)
5. Joker (Batman 1989)
This could be a hot take but I personally enjoyed the Riddler more than Ledger’s Joker. Dano absolutely nailed all the mannerisms that made him seem genuinely insane.
that’s fair enough
I Agree
I don't think anything can top ledger, but dnao is close. I completly respect liking Dano more.
"5...4...3...Gooooooood Bye!!!" I have been saying that since 3/1/2022. Dano killed it but Ledger made that version a pop culture icon.
I respect your opinion, but I very strongly disagree. Dano was amazing still though as Riddler.
I'm only 22 so based on the batman movies I have seen (Dark knight 2008 -- The Batman 2022), Ranking:
1. Joker 2008
2. Bane 2012
3. Steppenwolf 2021
4. Riddler 2022
5. Penguin 2022
6. Harvey Two Face 2008
7. Lex Luthor 2016
8. Superman 2016
9. Doomsday 2016
Steppenwolf? Hahahahah
@@blackmamba3060 Where would you rank ZS Steppenwolf?
For some unknown reasons I really love Tom Hardy as the Bane in the dark knight rises
I want a more comic accurate and fantastical take on the scarecrow in the new Batman universe. I also think deathstroke would be cool to see.
Arkham Knight Scarecrow was good....something between that and a realistic person?
My rankings (based on personal taste):
1) Riddler (The Batman)
2) Joker (TDK)
3) Two-Face (TDK)
4) Catwoman (The Batman)
5) Falcone (The Batman)

8) Bane (TDKR)

10) Catwoman (TDKR)
11) Falcone (BB)
12) Talia (TDKR)
I haven't seen the Burton or Schumaker films yet
Edit: and I know Catwoman in The Batman isn't really a villain (TDKR Catwoman similarly), I just wanted to put her on the list anyways
Your top 7 is spot on
I agree with most of your list but Colin Farrell penguin over Paul dano riddler does not make sense for me. The riddler was way more promenade menacing and compelling. While Colin Farrelll was cool riddler was the main threat and did it perfectly.
Colin Farrell was the better performance, I didn’t even know it was him while watching. The riddler made me laugh more than feel terrified.

Scarecrow is so underrated in my opinion I wish he was the main villain in Batman Begins
Scarecrow will always be so criminally underrated and so sad that he was so underused would've loved to have seen more of him
Something that was recently studied and observed about Bane and Talia and why it was essential for them both to be in the movie is that where Bane acts as everything Batman could have become, if he had followed the ideals of his mentor, Talia is the flip side as what Bruce could have become, a rich unassuming sex model who was able to infiltrate Gotham. Neither is she above him nor he her. But they both act as the reflection of what could have happened to Bruce, even down to the mask and unassuming billianaire. I hope that puts a new perspective for you.
Cillian Murphy is such an underrated actor, he’s absolutely incredible and his version of the scarecrow is criminally underrated
Thanks for not overhyping the new riddler. He was a cool villain but I think you placed him perfectly.

Idc what no one says the riddler is a top 3 Batman movie villain, his presence is only topped by heath ledger.
Hi Sean! Great list!!! I may think, personally, that two or three spots are switched sequentially For example, as much as I liked Bane in Dark Knight Rises, I think The Riddler in The Batman was just a skosh more terrifying with a much more compelling plan. Also, Michelle Pfiffer is definitely the best Catwoman, but Jack Nicholas’ Joker was just more memorable a performance IMHO. Still, your list is essentially spot on right.
I think that Uma could have been a great Poison Ivy under good direction, like remember Ivy from the Arkham games. I think that Uma could have nailed that kind of more serious take on Poison Ivy.
I appreciate that sean have included Zack Snyder's villains
For me it’s gotta be
1. Joker (TDK)
2. Bane (TDKR)
3. Penguin (The Batman)
4. Two-Face (TDK)
5. Riddler (The Batman)
6. Ra’s Al Ghul (BB)
7. Scarecrow (BB)
8. Falcone (The Batman)
9. Steppenwolf (JL)
10. Joker (Batman 89)
I have seen the 90s Batman movies but most of them are joker rip offs besides Penguin
The joker was a magnificent villain!
i haven’t watched this video yet, but my top 2 DC villains are heath ledgers joker and paul dano as the riddler.
obviously Heath is number one on my list BUT, if the riddler had more screen time he probably would’ve been number one on my list.
i loved his character and i loved how paul dano portrayed him, and don’t even get me started on his outfit. I LOVED his costume so much and i want to see more of it, which is why i hope we actually get to see more of him in the next batman films (if they even plan to keep him in)
Gotta say as of right now my favorite is either Bane, Freeze, Man-Bat, Penguin, or Riddler (Note: I’m not talking about the movies since I haven’t seen some of them)
Dude your ranking is awesome
And is almost mine
I know this isn’t a popular opinion but Scarecrow was my favorite villain.
My third favorite, so underutilized in batman begins
Okay, here's my list:
1. Joker (Heath)
2. Catwoman (Pfeiffer)
3. The Penguin (Danny)
4. Joker (Jack)
5. The Penguin (Collin)
6. Bane (Hardy)
7. The Riddler (Paul)
8. Ra's al Ghul (Liam)
9. Two Face (Aaron)
10. Scarecrow (Cillian)
11. Falcone (2022)
12. Lex Luthor (BvS)
13. Two Face (Tommy)
14. Max Shrek
15. Doomsday (BvS)
16. Falcone (Batman Begins)
17. Talia al Ghul
18. Mr. Freeze (Arnold)
19. The Riddler (Jim Carrey)
20. Poison Ivy
21. Bane (Batman & Robin)
Gotta say, The Batman added some really really great villains to an already (mostly) great collection of rogues.
My List (With one addition):
25. Bane (Batman & Robin)
24. Talia Al Ghul (The Dark Knight Rises): Good actress does not a good character make.
23. Doomsday (Batman v. Superman): I found him slightly more intimidating than Bane from Batman & Robin, so...
22. Two-Face (Batman Forever)
21. Poison Ivy (Batman & Robin)
20. Lex Luthor (Batman v. Superman): Decent modern interpretation. I think Eisenberg's neurotic entitled performance brings a new edge to the character but just like most else, kinda falls apart in the end.
19. Ra's Al Ghul (Batman Begins): I like him when he's friends with Bruce, but just gets kinda confusing and thin when he becomes a villain.
18. Carmine Falcone (Batman Begins): Surprisingly effective given screentime.
17. Steppenwolf (Zack Snyder's Justice League)
16. Two-Face (The Dark Knight): I find the turn to villainy pretty unconvincing and tact-on when it comes to the finale, but Eckhart is so good and the character really works for the first 2 acts, namely thanks to the thematic drive of the film.
15. Mr. Freeze (Batman & Robin)
14. Batman '66 Crew
13. Max Schreck (Batman Returns)
12. Carmine Falcone (The Batman): A great updated Max Schreck, who all of the main villains are tied to, making him all the more threatening.
11. Scarecrow (The Dark Knight trilogy)
10. The Penguin (The Batman): Effective, integral, and memorable.
9. Catwoman (The Dark Knight Rises)
8. The Riddler (Batman Forever)
7. The Riddler (The Batman): Almost constantly on the edge of unsettling and hilarious. Shame that he completely disappears for the middle of the film though. Dano does his normal shtick but it works really well.
6. Joker (1989): The movie is only really interesting when he's onscreen.
5. Bane (The Dark Knight Rises)
4. Penguin (Batman Returns)
3. Catwoman (Batman Returns)
2. Joker (The Dark Knight)
1. The Phantasm (Batman: Mask of the Phantasm): I added them, they have everything for me. The tragedy, the menace, the connection, the storyline, it's all there.
1) Riddler the Batman
2) Joker 2019
3) JOKER dark Knight
4) Penguin the Batman
5) Two face dark Knight
6) scarecrow
7) Falcone The Batman
8) PHANTASM
9) Bane Dark Knight rises
10) Riddler Jim Carey
Hey Sean thanks for saving me I was just starting Rebels in preparation for Obi Wan Kenobi show....it's hard
Btw If you just wanna see the inquisitors in rebels then you only have to watch the first 2 seasons of rebels
My top 10:
1 Ledger’s Joker
2 The Riddler
3 Nicholson’s Joker
4 De Vito’s Penguin
5 Bane
6 Pfeiffer’s Catwoman
7 Ra’s al Ghul
8 Scarecrow
9 Two Face
10 Carmine Falcone
I will ❤️ Batman always & forever. Been part of my life 33 of my 41 years. Collected those 1989 Taco Bell cups and Batman action figures. Was into Batman 8 years before I got into SW in 1997 with the SE. Julie Newmar is still my favorite Catwoman.
I'm happy to see that NEW BANE ( Tom Hardy ) is way ahead of OLD BANE in this video's ranking lists.😅😊👍🏻
I know we're still in Batman phase right now. I'm ready to buy The Batman gear and it's not even my favorite Batman film but Pattinson is my favorite Batman. But I hope Sean ranks Star Wars stuff. Updates on older rankings.
Heath Ledger is a given. But man..Colin Farrell as Penguin was soooooo good
My ranking of the Batman main movie villains (excluding the Adam West movie, LEGO Batman Movie and Mask of the Phantasm since I haven't seen them; Also, no Batfleck since he unfortunately never got his movie or the Snyderverse; Also also, no henchmen or secondary villains like Bane from Batman and Robin or Catwoman from Batman Returns or Two-Face from The Dark Knight or Penguin from The Batman) from worst to best are as follows:
1. Heath Ledger's Joker (The Dark Knight) (BEST)
2. Edward Nashton/The Riddler (The Batman)
3. Ra's Al Ghul (Batman Begins)
4. Bane (The Dark Knight Rises)
5. Penguin (Batman Returns)
6. Scarecrow (The Dark Knight Trilogy)
7. Jack Nicholson's Joker (Batman - 1989)
8. Talia Al Ghul (The Dark Knight Rises)
9. Dr. Victor Fries/Mr. Freeze (Batman and Robin)
10. Edward Nygma/The Riddler (Batman Forever)
11. Harvey Dent/Two-Face (Batman Forever)
12. Dr. Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy (Batman and Robin) (WORST)
Live action Batman movie main villains ranked
1. Joker (The Dark Knight Trilogy)
2. Ra's al Ghul (The Dark Knight Trilogy)
3. Bane (The Dark Knight Trilogy)
4. Riddler (The Batman)
5. Joker (Batman 1989)

9. Poison Ivy (Batman & Robin)
10. Riddler (Batman Forever)
11. Two-Face (Batman Forever)
12. Mister Freeze (Batman & Robin)
I’m gon be honest Ra’s Al Ghul shouldn’t be that high up and I would put Bane a little lower just because they screwed him over in the ending
Left out scarecrow
@@OGDAW this is a MAIN villains ranking. If I were to add him on the list, Scarecrow would be below Paul Dano’s Riddler
How dare you put the person who ruined bane over the goat that is jack nichoson
@@Thebigmanwaffle I think Tom Hardy did his best, if only he was given a better script that would make him better
Ra did help train him to be Batman, but he mainly helped train his mind , when Bruce shows up to his temple he fights Ra and already knows multiple forms of combat which means he already been training for awhile at the beginning of the movie he beats the hell out of like six guys, what he had not been training was his mind and that's where he really helped him. Yes he did teach him other forms of combat and helped build his physical form, but alot of it was helping him build his mind and showing him how to turn his fears into strengths. Great video though. I would put Ra a little higher just because like you said how important he was to Batman.
Heath Ledger was awesome as was was Paul Dano and Michelle Pfeiffer and Danny Devito.
