    Scarecrow scared me to hell, I've got to say him. Before the movie I always thought him more of a campy character, but lord, he terrified me.

    ...Why is Catwoman even on here? She's an anti-hero who's definitely leaning towards the side of justice and light.

    Talia slept with Bruce, got him to like her, give her control of his company and the whole time she's the one running Bane and the whole show! Conniving, evil chick and she hit that? Best villain by far.

    Bane was the second worst.

    The Scarecrow and Ras are amazing.

    Thanks to the actors, but still.

    Joker wasn't the best...

    I said it. I'm not taking it back.

    The best was either Ra's or Bane. I voted Bane, but he barely beats Ra's.

    Scarecrow was awesome though, just not the best.

    I don't really consider Catwoman a villain in the Nolan trilogy. But I did like her portrayal as an anti-hero. And if this is asking my preferred character rather than favorite villain, I'd probably put her up top.

    Bane because of they turned him into the dopplegenger Batman and treated him almost as a myth up until the very end when it was all revealed.

    Bane.

    They were all great though. It's like asking which season of Breaking Bad is best. They're all amazing.

    I don't consider Catwoman a villain in the Nolanverse, but absolutely loved Anne Hathaway's portrayal of her.

    Indeed! Neeson's Ra's Al Ghul was fantastic.

    I like Ra's al Ghul. I find it interesting that he's pretty much how Batman would be if he went too far, seeing how they have the same training. Bane's really cool, too, but his voice was hard to understand at times. Talia was also great because of how she was the puppet master who pulled all the strings in Bane's plan, but they picked a terrible actress to play as her. That was the worst death scene ever...

    Bruce was.

    He didn't die a hero, he lived long enough to see himself become a villian.

    Damn, clicked on Scarecrow accidentally instead of Ra's. Oh well, Scarecrow would be second anyway.

    Obviously either Ra's al Ghul or Bane.

    But I like Mister Freeze for the Non-Nolan "Batman and Robin". That movie was so bad, it's a classic.

    Ra's only because it was Liam Neeson. Bane was better
