Batman's most evil foe, the demon himself, Ra's Al Ghul. Ra's daughter Talia and Batman became romantically involved.
On the 90's TV cartoon BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES, the Immortal Ra's Al Ghul was voiced by David Warner. He debuted, albeit briefly, in OFF-BALANCE (11/23/92) and returned in several episodes including THE DEMON'S QUEST (5/3/93) and AVATAR (5/9/94). His daughter Talia's voice was supplied by Supergirl herself Helen Slater.
Former guard at Arkham Asylum, Lyle Bolton decided to deal out his own brand of justice going vigilante under the guise of Lock-Up. His voice on BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES was provided by former HILL STREET BLUES alumnis Bruce Weitz. The episode LOCK UP aired on November 19, 1994.
A unique battle in this April 1943 issue of DETECTIVE COMICS.
Introduced in this February 1951 issue of DETECTIVE COMICS (No. 168) was the mysterious Red Hood.
From the synicated newspaper comic strip by Loebs, Cinfa & Nyberg, this Sunday May 13, 1990 chapter featured The Red Hood.
One the best Batman villains was Two-Face, was actually was former Gotham District Attorney Harvey Dent who was disfigured in a horrible accident. Two-Face always decides fate by the flip of his coin. Interestingly, when the character debuted he was named Harvey Kent. It was later changed to avoid confusion with Superman's alter-ego Clark Kent. This adventure was from BATMAN No. 50 in January 1949.
Two-Face still causing double trouble in 1987 on Jason Todd's first outing as Robin.
In the 1990 syndicated newspaper strip Batman, by Loebs, Cinfa and Nyberg, a brilliant retelling of much of the Batman lore, including his first confrontation with his Best friend Harvey Dent who has become Two-Face. He finally outsmarts him in this episode from Sunday, October 21, 1990.
For the 1995 Feature Film BATMAN FOREVER, Two-Face was played by Tommy Lee Jones. Interestingly, in the first BATMAN feature in 1989, Harvey Dent was played by Billy Dee Williams.
On the TV's BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES, Two-Face/Harvey was voiced in over a dozen episodes by Richard Moll.
On the TV's BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES, Two-Face/Harvey was voiced in over a dozen episodes by Richard Moll.
In 2008's THE DARK KNIGHT. Aaron Eckhart appeared, all too briefly, as Two-Face.
Are you afraid? Former professor of psychology Jonathan Crane is The Scarecrow. On the 1990's BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES his voice was provided by Henry Polic II. He appeared in NOTHING TO FEAR (9/15/92), FEAR OF VICTORY (9/29/92) and DREAMS IN DARKNESS (11/3/92).
On 1978 and 1979's CHALLENGE OF THE SUPERFRIENDS, The Scarecrow was one of only two Bat-villains to make the cut for The Legion of Doom (The Riddler was the other). Led by Lex Luthor, they battled the Justice League every Saturday morning. He was voiced by Don Messick.
Cillian Murphy played The Scarecrow for his big screen debut in June 2005's BATMAN BEGINS.

I never cared for the Mad Hatter much, either on the sixties TV series (played by David Wayne) or in the comics. That is until BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES. Voiced by Roddy McDowall, he became a favorite in his first episode MAD AS A HATTER (10/12/92), to my favorite episode of the cartoon PERCHANCE TO DREAM (10/19/92). "Could not, would not..." This page is from a 1997 issue of BATMAN AND ROBIN ADVENTURES.
They all want to take the credit for doing away with Batman in this 1977 issue. Including The Riddler, Poison Ivy, The Scarecrow, Lex Luthor, Catwoman and The Joker.
Finishing off the most prolific villains from the BATMAN ANIMATED SERIES, The Joker, The Riddler and The Penguin.
Some of the baddies that Bats faced during his run of BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES were (clockwise from top) Clayface, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, The Riddler, Man-Bat, Harley Quinn and Catwoman.
What would a Batman comic be without an arch villain or two?
The evil Venom strengthened Bane was the only one to defeat Batman. Here he is in the classic 11th chapter of KNIGHTFALL in issue 497 of BATMAN, after breaking Bruce's back. Batman would be played by Jean-Paul Valley for awhile, while Bruce recouperated.
It's truly a shame that when Bane finally made it to the big screen it turned out like this. In 1997's BATMAN AND ROBIN, the character of Bane was little more than a throw-a-way, turning out to be not much more than a muscle-bound zombie henchman for Posion Ivy. In the comics, he was Batman's greatest challenge. In the movie he's easily defeated by Robin and Batgirl. He's played by Jeep Swenson.
Walter Slezak played the villain The Clock King once on the BATMAN TV series in the episodes THE CLOCK KING'S CRAZY CRIMES (10/12/66) and THE KING GETS CROWNED (10/13/66) and never reprised the role. The episodes featured his underlings named Second Hand Three and Millie Second, as well as a Window cameo by Sammy Davis Jr.
A 1990's manufactured villain and one of the best was the Joker's sidekick Harley Quinn. She was eventually able to sustain adventures on her own and was also frequently teamed with Poison Ivy. This was her solo comic debut in 2000. Her wardrobe rivaled any worn by Catwoman or Batgirl.
Even without her costume Harley Quinn looks great, as seen in this August 2001 issue of her comic.
Next to Bane, the strongest of Batman's enemies would be former sideshow attraction and wrestler Killer Croc. Half reptile and half human, he was voiced on the animated Batman TV series in the 90's by Aron Kincaid. His look changed slightly from the show's first season to the last.
Victor Buono played a college professor who was bumped on the head during a student riot and thought he was the Super Villain King Tut on the 1960's TV series BATMAN. He played the character several times during a three seasons of the show's run. Buono once said on a "Tonight Show" appearance: "BATMAN allowed me to do what actors are taught never to do, overact."
For the second and third seasons of the sixties BATMAN TV series, Vincent Price made a few appearances as the comical Egghead, another baddie created specifically for the TV series. He first appeared in Episodes 47 & 48 (AN EGG GROWS IN GOTHAM and THE YEGG FOES IN GOTHAM) on October 19 & 20, 1966. Later he would partner with Olga, played by Anne Baxter.
Carolyn Jones played Marsha, Queen of Diamonds for a few appearances during the second season of BATMAN, which starred Adam West. In this one, which aired 11/23/66 and 11/24/66, our hero is almost forced into marrying the temptress.
Of all of the made up villains used on the BATMAN TV series, I think the best of them was The Archer, played by Art Carney. Although he only played the role once in the second season openers: SHOOT A CROOKED ARROW and WALK THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW (9/7/66 and 9/8/66), he tried hard to "defeatith" Batman. Besides the hilarious Carney, the two episodes also featured Alfred displaying his marksmanship and a cameo by Dick Clark.
