Here's my third Owe's reviews episode. Starting with this one, each review will be posted on mondays once a week. For this one I did a top 10 list instead of a movie review. The theme I chose for this one is Batman villains because the Batman franchise offers some of the greatest villains ever and people are aways talking about who they like the most. So because of that I've put together my top 10 Batman villains list from my opinion along with title card.



Here's the list of my Top 10 favorite Batman villains

10. Harley Quinn: Introduced in Batman: the Animated Series back in the 90s, Harley Quinn soon became a fan favorite of the series. Why was she so great? I don't know because I wasn't born until later in the 90s but I think it was because she was like a female Joker and also she was his girlfriend (at least from her point of view) As much as I love her I put her pretty low because she hasn't really done much compaired to others. Once she tries to take out Batman in a serious way I'll probably put her higher but overall, she's a great villain.

9. Mr. Freeze: Do you ever wish you had a gun that can freeze things? Well don't expect Mr. Freeze to let you borrow his gun because you're probably going to sit in front of the fire for a while. Why he's a great villain is because of his gun and his tragic backstory about his sick frozen wife and him trying to save her but hasn't found the cure yet. Because of an accident he now can't survive outside a subzero temperature and that's where the suit comes from. So anyway, he's a heartless villain because of that and wants to get revenge on everyone that has ruined his chances at curing his wife. I liked him the best in the Animated Series because that was when the well known backstory originated. The reason why he's number 9 on the list is because of his role in Batman & Robin. If Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't do a corny job he would've been higher on the list. Overall, he's a cool villain. (Oops, pun)

8. The Scarecrow: This guy is awesome because he has a special gas that causes people to have nightmares of their greatest fear. To go along with this gas is a scarecrow costume that makes people fear him (Despite it looking corny at times.) Even though this is a great idea he hasn't done too much in the other than that especially in the TV shows and movies. Still I think he's cool and is why he's on the top 10 list.

7. The Riddler: Who's green and mean and out to destory Batman? The Riddler. (I can't do riddles :P) He's the man in green covered in question marks and always leaves Batman with challenging riddles in order to find him. However, I think he overuses the green a little too much, especially in Batman Forever. I think of him as another guy taht is very similar to the Joker but he's not as insane as the Joker. I don't have much to say about him but he's still someone I should put on the list because he's sneaky, crazy, and bright in color.

6. Bane: Look out for this guy. Probably one of the strongest of the Batman villains, Bane is a man that is nothing but muscles. Along with a special liquid called venom to help him power up, this guy will come close to being unstoppable. In fact, Bane broke Batman's back in the original comcis so that's one villain that's actually managed to defeat Batman. Despite this awesomeness, they kind of dumbed him down in Batman & Robin but luckily, we hope Tom Hardy will potray him better in the upcoming Dark Knight Rises movie (despite his muffled voice). But still, Bane is one of the greatest Batman villains ever made and you should definetly avoid anyone who's like him.

5. Poison Ivy: This woman is nothing but beauty, plants, and poison. After an accident as a scientist she became a plant/human hybrid and also developed a toxic kiss as well as creating mosterous plants that Batman faces often. Her appearance is different in every version with her sometimes being a woman in green or a green skinned woman with a dress made of plants. Still, I think she's a great villain and I actually think she was the only good villain in Batman & Robin. I don't know why but overral, Poison Ivy is a great villain.

4. Catwoman: While being an antihero rather than a villain, she's still great in general. I always liked when Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle are lovey dovey with each other while Batman and Catwoman are always fighting. Out of all the people who've potrayed Catwoman, live action or animated, Michelle Pfeiffer will be my favorite version, sneaky and cool. I look forward to seeing her in more stuff soon because she's a cool cat.

3. Two Face: Originally Harvey Dent, he got acid splashed on his left side horribly disfiguring it and driving him insane. Like Mr. Freeze, he's kind of a tragic villain with him originally being a normal person and then becoming evil once his accident happened. I always like that he's angry whenever he talks but however, Tommy Lee Jones' character is goofy and too similar to the Joker rather than the one in everything else. Still, Two-Face is a cool villain, always flipping a coin and deciding his next actions on how to defeat Batman.

2. The Penguin: I sometimes feel like the Penguin is underrated but he's a cool villain, being a short chubby guy in a tuxedo with a pointy nose. However, I like Danny Devito's version better than the comics, being a deformed human who wants revenge on Gotham after being abandoned as a baby. His main weapons are umbrellas but each one is different, a common one being a gun or a copter. Despite his freakish appearance, I still like him and look forward to see him in upcoming stuff.

And the number 1 best Batman villain is.....

.....The Joker!

You probably knew it was going to be the Joker. The archenemy of Batman and the most well known out of them all, the Joker is the freakish clown like man that always causes problems in Gotham City. Nowadays he has Harley along with him so the two form a pair of destruction. I think anyone who has played the Joker in the TV shows and movies did a great job doing the character. Jack Nicholson does a good job in the 1989 movie, Heath Ledger did a good job in the Dark Knight, and Mark Hamill does a great job voicing him in a lot of the TV shows and the video games. Sometimes he could be creepy but he's still a great villain which is why I say he's the number one Batman villain.

Whew, this blog took a while. As a last thing to say, I'll be accepting requests for reviews because I can't figure out everything to do for a review so if you could list some suggestions in the comments I would like that. See you next blog post.
