    Talon by far. I was going to comment on your article (@ UGO)but I got distracted by that website's scantily clad women. Well that and I couldn't log in to FB or Twitter from the office.

    Nobody is far better. after issue number 2 i think he's the best new Bat villian Dollmaker is the worst. White Rabbits costume makes her second and Talon is third.

    I thought Dollmaker was really creepy and cool. Haven't encountered any of the others yet but Talon looks badass. And really wanna see Harley beat White Rabbit's skull in.

    The costume was the deciding thing between them because costumes aside i view them on the same level. White rabbit feels like she has a lame mo but it's done well and it is originol, at least it is to me because no matter how bad the premise i haven't seen it before. on the other hand Talon is a concept i've heard a million time in a million diffrent mediums It's done pretty well and unlike white rabbit i'm still picking up the book he's appearing in but it's not the best rendition of the concept i've ever seen. So at the end of the day i said what will be the tie breaker and i turned to costumes. Talon's costume rules but i'm a dude so white rabbits costume rules more

    Saiko was pretty good. Proved a better challenge to the leading character than the famed Massacre did vs Batwing.

    Lex,Slade and Sinestro have been rocking as well but they're old villains.@Morpheus_ said:

    @entropy_aegis: It's just a statement to imply he's extremely accurate, which he has proven. Obviously, he doesn't have feats up to par with Lester, nor would I make that statement in a debate.

    Haha, it didn't seem to me that Road Rage was supposed to be a big bad or anything, in the manner Massacre is basically the big villain in Batwing, or Saiko was the chief villain in the first arc of Nightwing. Sure, people (myself included) thought he would last longer than a couple of pages, but that wasn't Slade's nemesis, either.

    I don't hate Massacre. In fact, I like him quite a bit. But aside from impressive durability, I found his combat performance against a grievously injured Batwing to be fairly lackluster.

    @entropy_aegis: I had thought about it, and it would make sense for the Council to have an army of assassins instead of a single one, but in all honesty I think quantity could be detrimental to the challenge. I prefer the 1on1 approach better.

    @k4tzm4n: I didn't read issue 2 either, but imo issue 2 of the series was an immense disspointing. Not that it was particularly bad or anything, but it just felt underwhelming as a whole, specially when it has to compete with Batman #1, which is one of the best titles DC is offering right now.
