    The riddler is just a narcissist

    The penguin is just short fat and ugly

    Harley Quinn is just a ditz

    The joker is just a sociopath

    Catwoman (more of an anti hero than a villain) is just a dommy mommy

    Mr freeze is just a smart dude with a dead wife

      I mean, yeah. Like ninety percent of Batman’s rogues gallery are just mob bosses with a gimmick. He’s a street level superhero, that’s about how much you can reasonably take on when your superpowers are martial arts and money.

        I dunno, Iron Man is pretty much just the money part without the martial arts, and he fought Thanos.

            Lol the Tony that made the v1 suit would never have gone toe to toe with Thanos; he was too worried about his own ass. Tony learns what it means to sacrifice much later in life.

          Hell, Jason Statham was just an activist and singlehandedly took on a megalodon and swam unprotected underneath the Mariana’s Trench by holding water in his nose. Bats and Stark really have to step it up as far as raw power.

                Lol I actually watched that movie a few days ago because of this comment. He didn’t swim underneath the Marianas Trench, but maybe that’s in the sequel.

                Edit: Just watched the sequel and can confirm he did swim underneath the Marianas Trench by holding water in his nose to avoid being crushed by the pressure.

    To be fair, Anton Chigurh also flipped a coin to decide people’s fate, and that dude was fucking terrifying. And he didn’t even use a gun. Most of the time, anyway.

      The concept was the same, dude’s essentially just one guy that anyone could kill, but he was always in the shadows just out of reach of Gotham PD. Wait…

    He’s just having fun and being chaotic. No need to be specifically evil with goals.

    The Riddler is a criminal whose MO is to leave clues behind. That makes him worse than an ordinary criminal.

    How am I supposed to consider his position when that is anon’s profile picture? Is he expecting to be taken seriously?
