Few super heroes have a selection of villains quite like Batman. There’s something about Gotham City that turns once-promising people into scheming super-villains. And you know what? We’re here for it!

Batman’s Rogues Gallery is home to some of the most iconic comic book super-villains ever created. They’re each horrific and terrifying in their own ways but somehow, despite our better judgements, we can’t turn away. We’re happy to let these DC villains capture our attention each time because they’re so damn good at being evil.

But admit it — you’ve always wondered, which Rogues Gallery super-villain you are. Don’t worry, once it’s decided we won’t call Arkham to take you in. Probably.

Batman’s Rogues Gallery

Over the years, from the pages of DC comics to television and the big screen, we’ve seen Batman’s villains grow in numbers. Some have evolved in time to be antiheroes. Others have devolved into something less than human. But they all hold a special place in Batman fans’ hearts.

Many of these super-villains are also accomplished individuals, aside from their constant evildoing. A number of Batman’s most fearsome foes have attained post-graduate degress and doctorates in complicated scientific fields. Others, like former District Attorney Harvey Dent, were once well-respected members of Gotham society. If Batman’s Rogues Gallery proves anything, it’s that many of us are just one mishap away from beginning our own villain origin stories.

Think about it. The reason we love these Batman baddies is because (at least occasionally) we can understand their motives. They’ve been wronged, hurt, misunderstood by society — and that type of rejection leaves painful scars. No wonder they act out! Unless, of course, we’re talking about The Joker. That guy’s motives are about as clear as a cloud of laughing gas.

Batman Villain Quiz Results

Here are a few of Batman’s villains who have recently been wreaking havoc in Gotham. With a rotating roster as big as Batman’s, not every super-villain is included — but it is the complete list of quiz result options, for those who are curious!

The Joker

• Alias: HA ha Ha hA HA !
• Abilities: Tickling Batman’s funny bone
• First Appearance: Batman #1 (1940)

Crime is no laughing matter, and he takes it very serious! Well, sometimes. Like The Joker, you’re unpredictable. Nobody ever knows what you’re going to do or say next. And that’s just how you like it.

Scarecrow

• Alias: Dr. Jonathan Crane
• Abilities: Weaponizing fear
• First Appearance: World’s Finest Comics #3 (1941)

Fear is, above all else, a tool. We all have fears and they can be our downfall … or our greatest strength. Like Scarecrow, you excel at making sure others do exactly what you want them to do.

Two-Face

• Alias: Harvey Dent
• Abilities: Hedging bets and tempting fate
• First Appearance: Detective Comics #66 (1942)

Harvey Dent sees both sides of the coin: the good and the bad. Your perspective is always valued because you know there’s two sides to every story. The challenge is meeting them somewhere in the middle.

Harley Quinn

• Alias: Dr. Harleen Quinzel
• Abilities: Smashin’ faces and healin’ minds
• First Appearance: Batman: The Animated Series (1992)

She’s the wildest card in the bunch. There’s no telling whether today’s the day Harley will stop crime or commit it. And just like Harley Quinn, you thrive in the chaos. Plus you’re good at smashin’ $#!%.

Poison Ivy

• Alias: Dr. Pamela Isley
• Abilities: Chlorokinesis, toxin immunity, pheromonal manipulation, tapping into The Green
• First Appearance: Batman #181 (1966)

She’s nature incarnate, and there’s no fooling Mother Nature. Your passions guide you to do what’s right — even if others disagree. But there’s always room to grow.

The Riddler

• Alias: Edward Nigma, Edward Nygma, Edward Nashton … your guess is as good as ours.
• Abilities: Twisting words and melting brains
• First Appearance: Detective Comics #140 (1948)

You’re an intellectual. Others might rely on brute strength or powers to get the job done, but you know your mind is your mightiest weapon. Just don’t let your brains get the best of you.

Catwoman

• Alias: Selina Kyle
• Abilities: Stealing valuable items (and Batman’s heart).
• First Appearance: Batman #1 (1940)

Catwoman has an eye for the finer things in life — and the claws to snatch them up. You go after what you want and you always get it because, let’s be honest, you deserve it.

Mr. Freeze

• Alias: Dr. Victor Fries
• Abilities: Unparalleled knowledge of cryogenic technology
• First Appearance: Batman #121 (1959)

Despite your icy demeanor, there’s a beating heart just waiting to be thawed out underneath all that armor. But anyone who gets too close is more likely to get the cold shoulder before they crack your shell.
