The creators of Batman have chipped and polished a strong character that has appealed to comic fans and Hollywood for generations. Bruce Wayne's identity is defined by a turbulent past that holds him hostage to his role as the Dark Knight of Gotham City and challenging him is a whole circus-ring of bad guys. Now, a super-villain is supposed to be evil, after all, he or she is supposed to be the antithesis of the hero’s personality. But there is something really twisted and disturbing about the villains that Batman has to deal with. Here is the Rogue Gallery!

5. Harvey Dent a.k.a Two-Face

He is Batman's greatest failure, a criminal mind born of the misstep of human folly and super-human ego. Harvey Dent was the golden boy of Gotham, the District Attorney who worked with Batman and Commissioner Gordon to clean the streets of Gotham from within the system. The White Knight to Batman's Dark Knight, Harvey Dent's Two-Face is a chilling character who suffers a mental breakdown after an accident scars one side of his face. The visual representation of his face is a constant reminder of his schizophrenic struggle, which makes him a strong and powerful character.

6. The Joker

Beyond evil, there is insanity and beyond insanity there is the Joker. It is true what is said, that without the Joker, crime has no punchline. By far the most popular villain in a comic or animated series, the Joker behind his white face and green hair is a manic, sick mind. His cackle, affected speech and mannerisms glorify his insanity. While all other Batman villains mirror a subverted version of the Messiah complex that the Dark Knight suffers from, the Joker himself is the polar opposite of Batman and that is what makes him the evilest villain in the Batman universe.
