My Top 10 Batman Villains That Must be Seen (Properly) in a Film

     Batman has had 8 films about him over the past four decades, Batman (1966), Batman (1989), Batman Returns (1992), Batman Forever (1995), Batman and Robin (1997), Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). With eight films out, we have seen many different villains, but despite having eight movies, many villains have been missed or done poorly. I have composed a list of the villains we need to see properly (So Mr. Freeze counts) in a live-action film. I will not be including villains that have been confirmed to appear in future movie, so Harley Quinn does not count. Here they are:

10. Man-Bat                    

     Man-Bat is such a great villain, because he is almost a exact opposite of Batman, even down to his name! He could be turned into a very compelling Man/Monster type villain. Man-Bat could be a really good side villain (like Two-Face in The Dark Knight) to somone like Hugo Strange.

9. Clay-Face

     Now you could go two ways with Clay-Face. You could make him a down-right evil villain, or go with the Mr. Freeze "Get Revenge my Revenge for Tragedies" style. Clay Face could, if done right, could be the main super-villain of a film, but it would probably be better to make him a supporting-villain.

8. Killer Croc

     Just like Clay-Face and Man-Bat, Killer Croc could be a down right evil villain, or a compelling man/monster villain. Killer Croc would probably work best as a supporting villain.

7. Poison Ivy

     Poison Ivy is one villain, that has surprising been only seen once in a film, and sadly, that film was no-good. Poison Ivy could be a villain like Ra's Al Ghul, you kind of understand her motives, but she is still a villain and you want to see her go to jail. Poison Ivy could handle her own film, but it would be easier if she had some sort of supporting villain to help her.  

6. Black Mask

     Black Mask is a villain that has both ties to Bruce Wayne, and the Gotham underworld. He would make for one heck of a crime drama, and a tense "Ghost of the Past" thing for Bruce Wayne. Black Mask could easily take on his own film, without a supporting villain to help him out.

5. Mr. Freeze

     Dr. Victor Fries, aka Mr. Freeze, would make for a great villain of a more super-hero style Batman film. Freeze could be a really compelling villain. He would also be best as the lead villain in a film, but he should have some-sort of supporting-villain. Now is it just me, or should Patrick Steward play him? 

4. Hugo Strange

     Hugo Strange would be a great villain for a more science-bent Batman adventure. I think he would work best has the guy who is pulling all the strings. He could be like the Thanos to a new trilogy of Batman films, hiding in the shadows until the very end.

3. The Riddler
     Now the Riddler can be portrayed two ways: the Jim Carrey/Batman Forever/Insane Person style or a more sinister, serious, style. I think that the next live-action portrayal should follow the latter. The Riddler could easily take on the role as a leading villain with out a supporting-villain, but if he did have a supporting villain, someone like Killer Croc could do it. 

2. Court of Owls
     Now the Court of Owls would make for some really amazing villains. A secret society that has most of Gotham's elite in it? What could be better? The Court of Owls could diffidently take on the leading villains role in a very exciting and intense crime drama. They diffidently do not need a support-villain, in fact, a supporting villain would take away from the sheer awesomeness of the Court of Owls.

1. Hush
     Hush is one of Batman's greatest villains ever. Thomas Elliot was Bruce Wayne's best friend growing up, but he later turned evil in an attempt to take his family fortune. Hush diffidently deserves to be the main villain of a film, but maybe Hush could get some help from some like Riddler in his evil scheme to stop Batman.  

     Well that's my list. Let me know what your list is in the comments bellow. Until next time . . .
