Batman and Spider-Man each easily have the best rogues gallery of any superhero. But whose is better?
Off the top of my head ....
Batman: Joker, Catwoman, Penguin, Two-Face, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Bane, Mr. Freeze, Clayface, Killer Croc, Black Mask, Harley Quinn, Mad Hatter, Ra's al Ghul, Hugo Strange, Ventriloquist, Maxie Zeus, Carmine Falcone, Killer Moth, Firefly, Solomon Grundy, Calendar Man, Zsasz, Man-Bat, Joe Chill
Spider-Man: Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Venom, Sandman, Electro, Lizard, Kingpin, Shocker, Rhino, Vulture, Hobgoblin, Kraven, Black Cat, Chameleon, Scorpion, Carnage, Mysterio, Beetle, Hammerhead, Jackal, Hydro-Man, Man-Spider, Dennis Carradine
It's funny how they kinda match up:
Joker = Green Goblin (hero's arch-nemesis, has a perpetual grin)
Catwoman = Black Cat (this one's pretty self-explanatory)
Penguin = Doctor Octopus (short, stocky creeper)
Two-Face = Venom (two sides)
Clayface = Chameleon (master of disguise)
Killer Croc = Lizard (green lizard-man)
Man-Bat = Man-Spider (animal versions of the hero; I'm not sure if Man-Spider is the same person as Doppleganger)
Carmine Falcone = Kingpin (fat uber-powerful mob boss)
Joe Chill = Dennis Carradine (petty no-name criminal who's basically responsible for the hero's war on crime)
And I'm gonna take it to a whole nother level: I know they aren't villains, but Azrael and Ben Reilly = the hero's successor whom nobody likes. I know that doesn't have much to do with this, but it's another thing Batman and Spider-Man have in common.
