The 10 Lamest Batman Villains Of All Time!

Between the Joker, Two-Face, Dr. Hugo Strange, and Ra’s al Ghul, Batman has possibly the most recognizable rogues gallery in all of comics. His most fearsome villains have been the focal point of critically acclaimed comic books, video games, cartoons, and films. And while some villains like Catwoman are set to enter the limelight in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Rises, not all Batman villains are worthy of such attention.
There are some villains so absurd, so insecure, and so utterly lame that even Batman cringes when he sees them. These are the villains that should never (again, in some cases) light up Hollywood or grace the cover of a video game. These are the villains that are best forgotten. But we here at Complex don't forget the embarassment of others, so here are The 10 Lamest Batman Villains Ever!

You need to add: has all the powers of the Legion of Super Heroes. How? The little statues Brainiac 5 made of the team also had some of their powers that transferred them into the janitor. Why a man with the powers of the Legion chose to make himself look half Batman/half Superman with Brianiac 5's skin tone is beyond me.

I always thought the Ventriloquist and Scarface were interesting characters. the Ventriloquist had an interesting/obsessive psychology.

Including The Penguin and one of the justifications being "less than five feet tall" is lame. Although your last line did make me laugh, doesn't save your poor choice of inclusion though.

I feel I must disagree with your statements about The Ventriloquist and Scarface. I enjoy the insanity aspect he brings to the story. He is the only villain in Arkham where they have taken a typically nonviolent mental disorder and turned it into a deadly one.
