Top 15 Villains from "Batman: The Animated Series"

Today marks the birthday of the late Kevin Conroy; a fine actor who did many things…but who most people recognize nowadays as the single greatest Batman voice there ever was. Conroy, of course, got his start in the part with the seminal “Batman: The Animated Series.” This television adaptation of the Batman mythos was and still is widely considered to be the definitive interpretation, and was the start of the much-renowned DCAU, which would go on to feature such shows as “Justice League” and “Static Shock.” For many, however, B:TAS was not only the first but the finest, and remains highly lauded to this day. Part of what made this show great, of course, was what makes virtually any take on Batman great: the Dark Knight’s colorful cavalcade of creepy and crooked antagonists. Batman’s Rogues Gallery is arguably the single greatest in all of superhero history, and the Animated Series did a pretty good job taking many of the greatest villains of the bunch, and reimagining them for a broad television audience. Much like the show itself, many of these scoundrels were not only appealing baddies for kids to boo and hiss at, but also made for great, complex characters, whom adults could get into on a different level, at the same time. Some of these villains were, I dare say, even BETTER than their comic book counterparts, not only then but still to this day! And even for those who were not, typically, the versions found in this show remain among the most respected. With that said, let’s waste no more time! In honor of my favorite Batman, here’s a countdown of his greatest foes! These are My Top 15 Favorite Villains from Batman: The Animated Series!

15. Bane

For many people, the Animated Series was their introduction to the character of Bane. And while I can’t say this is the absolute best take on the villain, I do still think this version has merits (incredibly bizarre design choices in both eras of the show aside). While the character’s origins felt a bit rushed and superficial, compared to the comics, Bane himself was fittingly depicted as a menacing, powerful villain, whose obsessive desire to physically break Batman made for some really gripping, intense scenes in the show. Anytime Bruce went up against this hulking monster of a man, it was always a big deal, because on a purely physical level, Bane could easily outmatch the Caped Crusader, even without the aid of his “super steroid,” Venom. Bane even got the honor of appearing in the spin-off movie, “Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman,” where he teamed up with the Penguin (along with gangster Rupert Thorne, and an original antagonist named Carlton Duquesne). The character would later go on to be the inspiration for a personal favorite episode of mine in “Batman Beyond,” which is worth noting, albeit more indirectly. In the show proper, Bane was voiced by Henry Silva; in the film, he was played by Hector Elizondo. Both brought a necessary grit and menacing, firm toughness to Bane, giving him an intellectual side despite his brutish exterior. You always got the sense that, strong as Bane was, he was just as lethal mentally as physically, which made for a dangerous combination whenever he and the Dark Knight came toe to toe.

14. Baby Doll.

Not all of the best villains from this series came from the comics. Mary Dahl, a.k.a. Baby Doll, was an original villain for the series, and many consider her to be one of the best of said bunch. While she only appeared twice, both of her episodes are memorable outings for many people. Dahl was once a child actress…an ETERNAL child actress, in fact, as she was diagnosed with a medical condition that makes her seem physically the age of a child, even though her mental and emotional state continued to develop into adulthood as she matured. She’s a grown woman trapped in a little girl’s body, and this - combined with tragic and twisted occurrences in her past - has caused her grip on reality to become shaky and tenuous. She thus becomes the villainous Baby Doll - inspired by a character she once played on television - forever seeking the perfect life she’s never been allowed to have, one way or another. Whether she was trying to rebuild a family she never had, or find a romance that could not be, Baby Doll was equal parts creepy, funny, and very sad: all great qualities to have in a layered villain. It’s really a shame that the series didn’t do more with her.

13. Ventriloquist & Scarface.

Arnold Wesker is a man with a problem. A problem that manifests itself through his wooden ventriloquist dummy, the murderous mobster called Scarface. Wesker suffers from a split-personality; as the Ventriloquist, he is timid, mild-mannered, quiet, placid, and even very sweet. But under the surface is a dark side to his character, for which Scarface acts as an avatar: a psychotic, ruthless, homicidal gangster who thoroughly enjoys being rotten to the core. The duality of Wesker’s character made for a lot of really wonderful scenes and some great episodes, as the struggle between his better half and the dark side inside of him could be used for humorous effect, but also made for frightening and at times extremely tragic scenes. He’s a person who constantly battles with demons he can’t fully control, and so no matter what sinister schemes Scarface hatches up, we always feel sort of sorry for the Ventriloquist himself. One of the most interesting parts of the show was that, because Scarface was just a block of wood at the end of the day, the animators could get away with some pretty messed up things to take the dummy out, which they couldn’t do with a human being. Scarface, over his long and sick career, was shot full of holes, burned to a crisp, crushed down, and shredded into sawdust, just for a FEW of the ways he “died” over the course of the series. Inevitably, however, the dummy would always be remade: as long as evil lived in Arnold’s heart, he could never really be rid of his diabolical alter-ego.

12. Ra’s Al Ghul.

Many nowadays consider Ra’s Al Ghul to be one of Batman’s absolute top-tier villains. He’s certainly one of the most unique. The Demon’s Head - voiced by David Warner in the series - was the leader of a widespread organization (here referred to as “The Society of Shadows”) with the goal of bringing purity to the world. Doesn’t sound so bad, but like so many who claim to want what’s best for the planet, Al Ghul’s scheme comes with a catch: it involves basically eradicating half the life on the globe. (Thanos approves.) While Ra’s has noble intentions, he suffers from something close to a God complex, and is quite, quite mad, despite his usual demeanor of sophisticated refinement. His daughter, Talia, also has feelings for Bruce Wayne, and Ra’s is fully aware of the Dark Knight’s alter-ego. As a result, Batman always faces a dilemna when facing the villain: he is one of the most personal threats Batman will ever face, as he represents a sort of temptation that Bruce must always be cautious of, and seems to represent how badly Bruce could have turned out, himself, if his desire to see justice done went too far. Episodes with Ra’s Al Ghul always felt sort of special; they were usually more akin to Indiana-Jones-esque globetrotters than your typical Batman story, which made them unique and gave them a grander scale than many other tales. I feel kind of bad for placing him so low in the ranks, but I ultimately just like other villains more. Plain and simple.

11. Catwoman.

I’ve always had a sort of odd relationship with the version of Catwoman found in BTAS. On the one hand, this is arguably one of the most definitive takes on the character, at least for me. Anytime I think of Catwoman, the Animated Series version is one of the first to come to mind. Similarly, voice actress Adrienne Barbeau’s handling of the character is one of the most iconic, in my humble opinion. However, Catwoman’s actual EPISODES were frequently somewhat lackluster; they weren’t necessarily bad, mind you, but there was always this feeling something was missing with this portrayal in many stories, with only a few exceptions. With that said, the character really was a great portrayal, with Selina Kyle acting as an animal rights activist and philanthropist by day, and a cunning cat burglar by night. She was a very duplicitous character, as Catwoman often is; constantly going back and forth between acting as an enemy and an ally to the Dark Knight and his associates. She’d be helping them take down worse criminals one second, then trying to claw their faces off the next. You couldn’t trust Catwoman for too long, but that was part of what made her precisely so fascinating.

10. Penguin.

I have long stood by the opinion that BTAS created perhaps the most definitive portrayal of the Penguin ever made. I say this because the Penguin, himself, is a character who has evolved over the years. In times long past, he was a gentleman thief who used various tricks - most notably his gadget-geared umbrellas, and various trained birds - to commit his many colorful capers. In more modern times, the character has been reimagined into more of an eccentric gangster; he still has the gimmicks, but they’re more toned-down in favor of depicting him as a calculating schemer who works behind the scenes. There’s also the matter of the Penguin’s design: ever since “Batman Returns” with Danny DeVito’s grotesque interpretation, Penguin’s design has fluctuated between a more human and dapper demeanor, and a more monstrous, gruesome appearance. What was great about the Animated Series version of the character was that you kind of got the best of all those worlds combined: for the first three seasons of the show, Oswald Cobblepot had a DeVito-inspired design, and was depicted as a crafty gentleman thief. In the revamped “New Batman Adventures” era of Season 4, however, the character was given a more classical design, but also depicted in a more modern fashion, as a mobster working from the Iceberg Lounge. In the show, the character was played by the great Paul Williams; in the aforementioned “Mystery of the Batwoman,” the villain was voiced by late, great David Ogden Stiers. While Stiers only did the one film, I honestly can’t decide which of the two did a better job with the character overall. (I’m tempted to say Williams, only because he had more time in the part.) Whichever voice and whichever era you prefer, the Penguin was a persistent thorn in Batman’s side right up to the end.

9. Poison Ivy.

While many people seem to prefer the more sympathetic takes on Poison Ivy that have come about in recent years - and make no mistake, I’m all for a sympathetic Ivy, when it’s done well - I actually have always preferred the more classical, cold-blooded Femme Fatale interpretation of the character. There is no better example of such a rendition than the one found in the Animated Series. Voiced by Diane Pershing - who is, by far, the greatest voice for Ivy there ever has been - Ivy’s use of killer plants and dangerous pheromones in her crime sprees made for some particularly disturbing and unsettling episodes when she was working on her own. Aside from that, we can’t forget how this series started the famous duo of Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, and seeing the two of them work together on other capers was honestly just as entertaining, if not more so. I also loved the dichotomy of Ivy’s personality, with her so often putting up this facade of being strong, cool, and confident…but then going absolutely feral whenever anyone caused trouble for her “babies.” As deadly as she was darkly beautiful, Poison Ivy was one of the most memorable villainesses in the whole show.

8. Riddler.

Anyone who knows me well knows that I adore the Riddler. Speaking overall, in general, he’s my second favorite Batman Villain of all time. So for many, it’s probably going to be surprising that he shows up just sort of barely nipping into the Top 10. Make no mistake, however, I love John Glover’s take on the Riddler from this show. Aside from perhaps Frank Gorshin’s take in the 1960s, this has become perhaps the Gold Standard by which all other Riddlers since have been held: versions like the character found in the Arkham games, Justice League Action, and many others were all, directly or indirectly, influenced by this specific interpretation. For the past twenty years before the Animated Series, the Riddler was largely seen as a lame, washed-up has-been of a character; a product of more infantile times who had no place in a modern world. We still get ripplings of that idea floating around today. The Animated Series revamped the character greatly, making him a more serious, calculating villain, who was treated not as a clown but an intellectual equal to the Dark Knight. A deranged tech genius who used his skills to create truly ingenious traps, and whose clues were not necessarily easy to figure out. Unfortunately, the creators sort of wrote themselves into a corner with the character, as they found it difficult to conjure up stories for the Riddler; he really only had three episodes to his name, his only other substantial appearance being a small supporting role in the Superman crossover “Knight Time.” Beyond that, however, the Riddler was largely relegated to just having cameo appearances. Perhaps ironically, he was better treated in the spin-off comics for the show…but that’s another story for another time.

7. Scarecrow.

While not necessarily my favorite take on Jonathan Crane, I would argue that the Animated Series gave us the definitive take on the Scarecrow. In the first three seasons, the character was played by Henry Polic II, with a fairly comic-accurate design. In the fourth season, the villain was revamped from the ground up, with a more creepy, frightful appearance, and unsettling vocals provided by Jeffrey Combs. You can argue which one was really better (I personally prefer TNBA’s Scarecrow, but the first three seasons gave Crane much more to do, so to speak), but regardless, this show really helped to establish the Master of Fear as one of the Caped Crusader’s most formidable opponents. I loved just about every episode the Scarecrow appeared in; even his weakest outings had some redeeming qualities, largely due to the way the character worked: with his Fear Toxin in hand, able to bring about people’s worst nightmares before their eyes, this haunting adversary was able to provide some very tense, dramatic, and creative stories. Heck, even in episodes where he WASN’T the focus, Crane often stole the spotlight with his wicked personality and exaggerated visual stylings. The more often I see both versions of Crane in this show, the more I love them each.

6. Clayface.

Yet again, another villain whom many would argue was given his definitive interpretation in BTAS. In the comics, there have been multiple Clayfaces over the years. The Animated Series mixed and matched different elements from pretty much all of them to create what many would consider to be the ultimate version of the character. In the show, Clayface is a former actor named Matt Hagen, who was transformed into a being of living clay-like material after ingesting a dangerous amount of a substance called “Renuyu.” Intended as a beauty cream, Renuyu was unstable, and Hagen’s hideous change was the ultimate show of how imperfect the formula was. The event not only melted Hagen’s body, but also twisted his mind, causing him to become a callous, thieving scoundrel, who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Clayface’s appearances were few in number, but what they lacked in quantity, they made up for in quality. Just about every episode he showed up in was a favorite of mine; most of them were among the darkest and most emotionally wrenching stories of the show, dealing with themes of identity and innocence lost. Combine this with the remarkable visuals a shapeshifting clay monster could allow for, and it’s not hard to see why he made such a noteworthy mark. (P.S.: For certain readers...yes, I chose this specific screenshot for "that" reason. Bua ha ha.)

5. Two-Face.

Played by the late Richard Moll, Harvey Dent - a.k.a. Two-Face - has almost always been one of Batman’s most personal and tragic foes. The Animated Series pulled no punches in that regard: viewers were given a couple of episodes to meet Harvey before he ever became the villainous Two-Face, which made Dent’s change from hero to villain all the more impactful. On top of that, as the show went on, Harvey’s sanity was repeatedly tested and challenged, as the scars that afflicted him were more than simply skin deep. As tragic as Two-Face was, he could also work well as a menacing straightforward villain (such as in episodes like “Sins of the Father”) or even have a good deal of humor to him (such as in “Almost Got ‘Im”). Much like the Scarecrow, the more often I look at Two-Face in this particular show, the more I find myself enjoying what they did with the character, as they really did cover just about every angle possible with this half-and-half hoodlum.

4. Mr. Freeze.

Anyone who knows about “Batman: The Animated Series” probably knows what it did for the character of Mr. Freeze. Much like the Riddler, the series revamped the villain for a new generation, and the revamp they did continues to influence takes on Freeze to this day. In fact, this reinterpretation was SO good, that any version that DOESN’T borrow from it usually seems to be detested by fans. Also like the Riddler, Freeze made relatively few appearances in the DCAU as a whole…but, like Clayface and the Scarecrow, every single episode, even the weaker ones, was at least interesting, if not outright great. (As maligned as “Cold Comfort” is, you can’t say it isn’t memorable.) Michael Ansara’s vocals and the sorrowful, almost Shakespearean dialogue and background the character was offered allowed for one of the most fascinating reinventions of a character in the entire series, and many to this day consider Freeze to be one of their favorite Batman villains largely just because of this interpretation. To be honest, the great surprise here is that he isn’t in my Top 3…but hopefully the ones above him will not disappoint.

3. The Mad Hatter.

Anybody who knows me probably also knows I love the Mad Hatter. Not only that, but they probably know that, out of every interpretation of Jervis Tetch there’s ever been, this is by far my favorite. This is a case of a character who is most assuredly better in the series than he ever was, and arguably ever has been, in the comics themselves. In the comics, Tetch is usually depicted as a psychotic little creep with little to no redeeming value; a nasty little wretch who needs to be decked out by Batman’s fist as fast as possible. The Animated Series, however, created perhaps the most human, tragic, and marvelously mad Hatter of them all. In the show, Jervis Tetch - voiced to sheer perfection by the magnificent Roddy McDoall - is a former neuroscientist, who was driven off the deep end by the combination of his discovery of a method to control people’s minds…and the unrequited feelings he had for his secretary, coincidentally named Alice. Over the course of the series, we see Jervis seemingly go increasingly more insane and become increasingly more warped and deranged, but there’s always this underlying sympathy, given how he started out. He’s yet another villain where, even in his weakest episodes - I’m looking at you, “Animal Act” - he, himself, proved to always be a spotlight moment. It’s really no surprise he ranks in my personal top three.

2. Harley Quinn.

Really, what can I say here? It’s Harley Quinn. The Animated Series created this character, Arleen Sorkin (God Rest Her Soul) MADE this character, and to this day I don’t think any other version of Harley has ever come close to the absolute marvelousness of the original. She’s funny, she’s complex, she’s sympathetic but still has her mean moments, and she’s frankly become so popular since this series that I’m starting to get a little bit frustrated with the gal. Nevertheless, I'll always love this original interpretation. (pauses) I’ve seriously got nothing else. This is a no-brainer.

1. Joker.

Just as “Batman: The Animated Series” gave us arguably the greatest Batman voice of all time, in the form of Kevin Conroy, it also provided us with by far the greatest and most influential Joker voice of all time, courtesy of Mark Hamill. Funny enough, Tim Curry was originally planned to voice the Joker, and even did some recordings for a couple of the character’s early episodes. However, for various reasons, Curry’s work was dropped, and Hamill was instead brought on to play the Clown Prince of Crime, having impressed the creator’s after playing a totally different character in the episode “Heart of Ice.” Hamill used Claude Rains’ work as the Invisible Man as inspiration, and the rest is pretty much history. From the early seasons, to TNBA, to nearly every other show in the DCAU, the Joker was a constant presence of villainy, always sort of lurking in the back of Batman’s mind, a symbol of the evil he was sworn to combat. Mocking and malicious, this dastardly demon has really never been portrayed better than he was in this show, I would argue; other attempts since have come close - including other versions voiced by Hamill, who would continue to play the character for many years to come - but no cigar. There’s not a whole lot else I can say: he’s the Joker. His presence at number one should shock nobody. Without any doubt, the Clown Prince of Crime is My Favorite Villain from “Batman: The Animated Series.”

Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

Happy Birthday Batman

An official DC Comics calendar published for 1976 identified February 19th as Bruce Wayne’s birthday.  Other dates have been mentioned in the comics as possibly being the Batman’s birthday yet the nineteenth of February still seems the most canonically recognized.  Really, a Pisces?  

In any case, to celebrate the Dark Knight’s birthday here are paper cut-outs of Batman in all his various animated forms.  Who knew there were so many?

The Adventures Of Batman was the first Batman cartoon series and ran from 1968 to 1969.  It stared Olan Soule in the role of Batman with a young Casey Kasem in the role of Robin. 

The SuperFriends brought Batman together with the world’s greatest heroes and ran from 1973 all the way to 1986.  Soul and Kasem both reprised their roles as Batman and Robin in the series.

The New Adventures of Batman ran for a single season in 1977 featuring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin.  This was a particularly silly show and featured a great deal of a magical imp known as Bat-Mite.  

1992 saw the advent of the greatest cartoon of all time as Batman: The Animated Series debuted and ran through to 1995.  The great Kevin Conroy provided the voice for Batman.

The New Batman Adventures was a continuation of Batman: The Animated Series with some updated stylistic changes.  It ran from 1997 to 1999, featuring Conroy as Batman.  

Batman Beyond entailed a Gotham City of the future where an aged Bruce Wayne trains a young man on his path to filling the mantle of The Batman.  It ran from 1999 to 2001 and stared Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne and Will Friedle as his protégé, Terry McGinnis.

Justice League brought the Superfriends back together this time under the banner of The Justice League (and later Justice League Unlimited).  It ran from 2001 to 2006 and once more featured Kevin Conroy in the role of Batman.

The Batman, which ran from 2004 to 2008, departed from the continuity established in Batman: The Animated Series and presented a new version of the Caped Crusader and his various allies and adversaries.  It starred Rino Romano in the role of Batman with Evan Sabara and Danielle Judovits as Robin and Batgirl.    

Echoing the campiness of 1966, Batman: The Brave and The Bold was a fun, light-hearted anthology series that ran from 2004 to 2008.  Each episode saw Batman teaming up with different heroes of the DC Universe for madcap adventures.  Diedrich Bader stared as Batman.

The series Young Justice, which ran non-concurrently from 2010 to 2022, focused primarily on Robin and the other younger heroes as they made their way from being sidekicks to a team in the own right.  Batman featured in many of the episodes where he was voiced by Bruce Greenwood.  

Beware the Batman from for a single season in 2013.  Anthony Ruivivar voiced Batman in this dark, largely computer animated series.  

Batman Unlimited ran from 2015 to 2016.  This was primarily a commercial in animated form featuring short, action-packed stories in tandem with the release of action figures and toy vehicles.  Roger Craig Smith provided the voice for Batman. 

Justice League Action brought back the League for more light-hearted adventures with a star-studded cast.  It ran from 2016 to 2018 with Kevin Conroy returning to once again voice Batman.  

Batman appeared as a periodic guest star in the DC Super Hero Girls series, which ran from 2019 to 2022.  Herein Batman spoke in a barely audible growl that only the other characters could comprehend.  Whereas actor Keith Ferguson provided the voice for Bruce Wayne, who further hid his secret identity as the the Caped Crusader by featuring in the ridiculous reality TV show, ‘Making it Wayne.’

A lampooned version of the Dark Knight sporadically features in the zany Harley Quinn animated series, premiering in 2019.   Diedrich Bader reprises his role from Batman: The Brave and The Bold, voicing this decidedly goofier version of the Dark Knight.

And finally, hopefully debuting some time soon, Batman: The Caped Crusader acts as a spiritual successor to Batman: The Animated Series and features the final acting role of the late, great Kevin Conroy, reprising Batman one last time.

I know I’m both late and early for this one, but as you know, it’s been 2 years Kevin Conroy; the iconic voice actor for the legendary Batman in various media from animated shows to movies and television has passed away on November 10th 2022, 20 days before his birthday on November 30th and he wouldn’t turned 69 on that year too… I’d like to say a massive thank you, Kevin Conroy for bringing the Batman; Bruce Wayne himself to life in the various media as the Dark Knight; The Caped Crusader who embraced vengeance, justice, compassion, realism and much more, to show that there can still be hope and optimism, even without superpowers. Even though it’s been 2 years since your passing, The Batfans and DC fans in general are still forever thankful and grateful for your work and we will hold you dear to our hearts and minds for that.

Happy 69th Heavenly Birthday and rest well even after 2 years; Kevin Conroy…

[wavy-arms]

The one and only time I ever did numbers on Twitter was because I had the Batman-themed birthday party of all Batman-themed birthday parties and it went viral and Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill (Batman and Joker) wished me a happy birthday and I was interviewed by Newsweek and it was awesome and then it all promptly went away and I am living a normal, quiet life of obscurity. The universe did me a solid and then immediately gave me the courtesy of leaving me tf alone.

sometimes i get sad that i don’t do numbers on twitter but then i realize. I don’t want to

[yesthebatmanme]

Happy Birthday Kevin Conroy/Batman!

To me you’ll always be the voice of Batman no matter what comic i read.  The only actor i’ve met i’m proud to have met inperson i hope one day i meet you again to fully geek out on you unlike last time.

[stinkysteven]

As a 28 year old, Batman has been part of my entire life and is one of my earliest memories. And that has been in part and alongside Kevin Conroy's voice. To my great upset, a couple of weeks ago I learnt that Kevin Conroy passed away. Due to some sort of coincidence, today would have been his 67th birthday. So, inspired by a minor change in some Delta Goodrem lyrics and the fact that it is my day off today, I've made a batcake to celebrate the life of Kevin Conroy and in turn, my Batman. I would like to emphasise the cake is made with love, not skill. It was just a packet mix but the icing was tricky.

Happy Birthday and Rest In Peace Kevin Conroy

[Image description: circular cake with chocolate icing batsymbol in the middle and yellow icing covering the rest of the cake. End description]
