This is a list of fictional characters from DC Comics who are enemies of Batman or of his associates, such as the Joker, Catwoman, and Mr. Freeze.
Contents |
[edit] Mobsters
Besides his infamous rogues gallery of supervillains, Batman has also faced more "ordinary" enemies, such as assassins, mobsters, and terrorists.
- Joe Chill: The man who murdered Bruce Wayne's parents. He first appeared in Detective Comics #33 (November 1939), but was not named until Batman #47).
- Lew Moxon: A mafia boss who hired Joe Chill to kill Thomas Wayne which sparked Bruce Wayne into becoming Batman, as well as bringing the villain Zeiss to Gotham City.
- Falcone family: Led by Carmine Falcone, (AKA "The Roman") and prominent in the storylines of Batman's early years, including Year One, The Long Halloween and Dark Victory. In the comics, as well as the feature film Batman Begins, the Falcone family and Carmine Falcone in particular are portrayed as all but completely controlling Gotham City before Batman's arrival. Falcone was killed in The Long Halloween by Two-Face.
- Maroni family: Led by Sal "The Boss" Maroni, the Maroni family are a prominent crime family in Gotham, and in the early years of Batman's career, the Maronis often vied for power and control of the Gotham underworld with the Falcone family. In the majority of Batman's incarnations, Sal Maroni is widely known as the mob boss who threw acid onto the face of D.A. Harvey Dent during a trial. The resulting injuries and scarring transformed Dent into Two-Face. In Dark Victory, Maroni is shot in the head and killed by Alberto Falcone (the presumed Holiday killer) possibly on Carmine Falcone's orders.
- Rupert Thorne: Prominent in Batman: The Animated Series, but also featured in the comics. In both, he is head of one of Gotham City's top smuggling gangs. In the animated series, Thorne (voiced by John Vernon) is responsible, in part, for the creation of that version of Two-Face. He is also the boss of "Matches" Malone, the criminals whose identity was taken over by Batman.
- Tony Zucco: Tony Zucco is a mob boss, or simple low level thug (depending on the continuity) who is responsible for the death of Dick Grayson's parents. Despite some variation, the basic recurring themes are that Zucco tries to extort the circus the Graysons work for. When the ringleader refuses to pay him, he sabotages the act causing the higwire ropes to break and sending Dick's parents falling to their deaths.
Two of Batman's mobster foes have donned costumes and crossed over to become supervillains:
- Holiday: Mysterious serial killer who murders mobsters and others over a year (during The Long Halloween storyline). The killer's weapon is a .22 pistol (using a baby bottle nipple as a silencer) with the handle taped and the serial number filed off. Also, every crime takes place on a holiday and a small trinket representing each holiday is left behind at the scene. Alberto Falcone, youngest son of Carmine Falcone, is revealed to be the Holiday killer. However, Holiday was actually three people: Gilda Dent is the first, followed by her husband in order to keep her out of prison. When Alberto fakes his own death on New Year's Eve, they simply let him take over. Gilda disposes of the incriminating costume (a trenchcoat and fedora), as well as the last .22 pistol, throwing them into the furnace. Clues to Holiday's identity are found throughout the storyline, but even after reading the entire story, the identity of the killer is still left ambiguous. The Holiday murders are also responsible for the creation of Two-Face.
- The Hangman: A serial killer (during the Dark Victory storyline), who murders police officers on every holiday of the year, leaving behind a version of the children's word game "Hangman" (with key letters missing) with each new victim. All of the victims are police officers who, in one way or another, helped Harvey Dent rise to his position of District Attorney. In the end, the Hangman is revealed to be Sofia Falcone Gigante, daughter of the late crime boss, Carmine Falcone.
[edit] Supervillains
[edit] Early days
- Doctor Death (Dr. Karl Hellfern): First appearing in Detective Comics #29 (July 1939), he is a typical mad scientist who made a few appearances in the earliest days of Batman and is typically considered Batman's first supervillain. Doctor Death developed chemical gases that were lethal, and threatened wealthy citizens, demanding money and tribute to him in exchange for their safety.
- The Monk: First appearing in Detective Comics #31 (September 1939), the Monk is one of the earliest Batman villains. He wore a red, monk like outfit, with a hood that bore a skull and crossbones on it. The Monk turned out to be a vampire, and was killed after being shot with a silver bullet. His battle with Batman was one of the first multi-part Batman adventures.
[edit] Batman #1
- The Joker: First appearing in Batman #1 (Spring 1940), the Joker is a homicidal maniac with a clown-like appearance who takes comedic delight in violent crime and challenging Batman. He is generally acknowledged to be Batman's arch-nemesis and worst enemy, gleefully citing the relationship between the two as being Comedy and Tragedy, Chaos and Order, two sides of the same coin. He was responsible for the crippling of Barbara Gordon, the brutal murder of the second Robin (Jason Todd), and the murder of Sarah Essen Gordon (James Gordon's second wife). He often goes by the alias "Joe Kerr", an obvious play on his moniker.
He has been portrayed by many actors in various media, including Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, Mark Hamill and Heath Ledger.
- Catwoman (Selina Kyle): First appearing in Batman #1 (Spring 1940), she started as a criminal who wore a cat-themed costume and often operated as a burglar, who has a love/hate relationship with Batman. For years, she skirted on the edge between villain and antiheroine. However, she has largely reformed in recent years, adopting the role of the guardian of Gotham's crime-infested East End, though she still comes into conflict with Batman on occasion. She has also been known to take revenge upon those who do crimes against animals, especially large cats.
She has been portrayed by many actresses in various media, including Lee Meriwether, Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt, Michelle Pfieffer and Halle Berry.
[edit] Ra's al Ghul and the League of Assassins
- Ra's al Ghul: First appearing in Batman #232 (June 1971), Ra's al Ghul ("Demon's Head" in Arabic), is a centuries-old world-wide eco-terrorist. He knows Batman's secret identity. He utilizes special pits known as Lazarus Pits which enable him to evade death, and live for centuries. He is the founder of The League of Assassins, though exactly when is unknown.
-
- Talia al Ghul: First appearing in Detective Comics #411 (May 1971), she's the daughter of Ra's al Ghul. Her father encouraged a relationship between Talia and Batman, desiring for Batman to marry his daughter in hopes of recruiting him as his successor. Talia admires Batman in his drive, determination, and nobility, but was always torn between him and the love for her terrorist father. Unlike Catwoman, Talia is more than willing to play second-fiddle to Bruce's mission. She claims to be the mother of his son Damian.
- Nyssa Raatko: First appearing in Detective Comics #783 (August 2003), she's the daughter of Ra's al Ghul, born in St. Petersburg in 1775, and a Holocaust survivor. She eventually broke off from her father and his crusade, which resulted in a rift between them. She had in her possession a Lazarus Pit that could be reused over and over again. She was responsible for brainwashing her half-sister Talia into despising not only Batman, but their father as well, whom she ended up killing with a sword. It appears, however, that Nyssa was killed in a car bombing in Northern Africa, presumably by the League of Assassins.
- League of Assassins: First appeared in Strange Adventures #215 (October/November 1968).
-
- Ebeneezer Darrk (Also known as Doctor or Professor Darrk): He is the first known individual assigned to head the League of Assassins by Ra's al Ghul. Although many of the League's leaders over the years have been accomplished martial artists, Daark himself did not depend on physical prowess, and as an assassin he instead relied upon careful planning and manipulation, ambushes and death traps, as well as a variety of cleverly concealed weapons and poisons. After earning Ra's enmity (for reasons unknown) Daark died during a plot to kidnap Talia which was foiled by Batman.
-
- The Sensei: First appearing in Strange Adventures #215 (October/November 1968) as an aged martial arts master from Hong Kong, he was Darrk's second in command. He was put in charge of the League after Darrk's death. However, he would prove just as disloyal as his predecessor, and the Sensei would eventually struggle with Ra's al Ghul for the control of the organization. One of his personal goals is to raise assassination to an artform. He is revealed to be Ra's al Ghul's father in Batman #671 (January 2008).
-
- Doctor Moon: First appearing in Batman #240 (March 1972), he is a brain surgeon with skills that make him the person to contact to recover dead brains, erase or modify minds, or mental torture.
-
- Lady Shiva (Sandra Wu-San): First appearing in Richard Dragon, Kung Fu Fighter #5 (December 1975), she's a mercenary assassin who once trained Batman, and is possibly the greatest martial artist alive in the DC Universe; one of Batman's true physical rivals. She is also the biological mother of Cassandra Cain.
-
