All the Scarecrow love here is awesome. 4laugh

I haven't read too many of the comics, but I've seen a lot of the animated series. So...
In no order:
Scarecrow- He has a lot of interesting stories and plots because of his fear toxin. I also like seeing all the spins people put on his costume! Zombie Nazi Crane (in an elseworlds thing) was weird, Animated Series Crane was brilliant (both main ones), snarky vindictive Year One Crane was my favorite.

Harley Quinn- She's my hero! She's always fun and happy, and I like how devoted she is to the Joker. I don't like that she and the Joker have broken up (forever ago, but I still don't like it!) because they're my 'one true pairing'.

Joker- Natch! I like the order v. chaos theme he brings whenever he battles Batman. Plus, he's classy as hell and really, really interesting.

Mad Hatter - I haven't seen too many things with him in it, but I really liked his Animated Series bit because it's so easy to sympathize with him! Plus, 'Jervis Tetch' is really fun to say. Unfortunately, he seems to be a ***** in the comics. gonk

Poison Ivy - I like how she and Harley are buds, and I like how her powers are so loosely defined. I mean, I've seen her talk through plants, accelerate plant growth, make them shoot thorns- and then there's the hypnotizing kisses and poisonous blood! *o*

WTF WHEN DID THEY BREAK UP??
...Not cool. scream

That was my exact reaction when I found out : (

And I don't know when exactly, but everytime I see Harls they're not together anymore. gonk
Maybe sometime during No Man's Land?

Harley was introduced into main stream comics during no man's land

(one being the top)

5) Riddler-- He's very entertaining, but not very threatening. I loved his riddles and (especially) his interview tapes in the game Batman: Arkham Asylum. But... least of my favorites. Though he is pretty bad-a**. Plus, he has a great sense of style!
4) Harley Quinn-- Though many don't actually consider her to be an actual villain and more of just an extension to whoever she's working for, I find her funny and adorable. I prefer her original version, the 1990 animated series version. And if you remember, in the final season during the episode Mad Love, she comes unbelievably close to killing B-Man. Closer than many villains have ever come. I don't like how she and the Joker are "done" in the comics now. Still, some signs point towards them getting back together. Need I say yay?
3) Poison Ivy-- The feminist in me loves her so much. Despite the fact that she uses her sexual appeal to fool and take control of men, she's extremely pro-woman. The fact that she's always encouraging Harley to let go of the Joker and make her own route makes her cool. Not to mention her eco-friendly crimes. How exactly can Batman be upset that she's trying to save the rainforest? So she kills people! They kill her plants.
2) Scarecrow-- I've recently learned to love Dr. Crane. He is scary and dangerous. His fear gas could drive anyone insane. Not to mention, instead of just using the gas to get people out of his way, he uses it and studies his victims. How cool is that?
1) Joker-- How could the Joker, Batman's true foil, not be at the top of anyone's list? He is insane, genius, creative, diabolical, and funny. He can watch someone and discover how they tick. Just look at what he's capable of! He has taken a strong-willed, career bound women and turned her into a crazy henchwench! He has made Batman consider killing (and depending on the comic, actually murder). He has unhinged Gotham multiple times and has taken control of Arkham multiple times! He is a mad scientist, his joker gas killing and stretching people's faces into horrible grins and his titan chemical changing people and turning them into beasts! He is gay for Batman, yet straight for Harley (and plenty of other women whom he molests). His humor is scary yet actually funny! The Joker is wild and crazy, and that is why he works so well against Batman.

milo and hugo strange were turning people into beast long before the joker

in no order: (besides the Joker)
Killer Croc
Jason Todd
Mr. Freeze
Owlman
Bane

5. Penguin - I like him because he's easily something that Batman could have become. I also can't wait for Phillip Seymor Hoffman to play him. I'll bet Hoffman acts circles around Ledger

4. Riddler - Like Joker, but not as committed. I also like him because he's revenge driven.

3. Two-face - I like how he likes to think he represents the duality of human nature when really on both sides of his split persona he's a psycho path.

2. Killer Croc - Arguably, even more a of a wild card than Joker. For some reason a fight with Croc is always a surprise. A contingency that Bats never accounts for, unless of course, he solves some string of murders that lead back to Croc. Every fight with this guy is a challenge, because of the fact that he is seemingly immune to pain.

1. Joker - Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible c**t... me.

Whoa, back up a bit here. Phillip Seymore Hoffman is gonna be the new Penguin?! eek I didn't know that!

Whereas everyone is always doing these on which villains are more evil, I tend to have a different approach. Thus, the oddly mixed choces for my top 5 Batman villains:

5: Harley Quinn
4: Poison Ivy
3: Killer Croc
2: Catwoman
1: Penguin (Yes, you are reading that correctly; Penguin has made his first #1 hit on anyone's list on this forum.)

[Azriel Black]

Joker (he drives the Bat crazy)

Bane ( he broke the bat)

Hush ( he screwed with Bats mind far better then most, plus he's currently wearing his face)

Black Mask ( he "killed" the Bat)

Mr. Freeze

5. Anarky

4. Bane

3. Deadshot

2. Hush

1. The Riddler

(Joker goes without saying, so I'll just save list space.)

[Crimson Ankh]

Oh why not? I think this might be fun:

5) Killer Crock

4) Harley Quin

3) Posion Ivy

2) Clayface

1) Catwoman

End of story.
