The 10 Greatest Villains From DC Movies

2016 hadn’t been a particularly great year for villains in superhero movies, what with all the hero v hero action going on – at least, until Suicide Squad arrived and starred a team of bad guys forced into becoming heroes. Noting exceptions like Doctor Octopus and Loki, DC have generally produced stronger supervillains than Marvel, so it made a lot of sense that they would be the ones to make the first fully-fledged supervillain movie.

2) Catwoman – Michelle Pfeiffer, Batman Returns

The only character to make it on both this list and our picks for 8 Greatest Female DC Movie Characters, Michelle Pfeiffer is hands-down the best female villain DC’s movies have produced. And if it wasn’t for one even more outstanding character, she would be the best villain period.

It’s not easy to be the star of the show when you are sharing the screen with Danny De Vito, Christopher Walken and Batman himself, but Pfeiffer’s Catwoman manages to do it. Apart from the iconic visual of the actress in her stitched-up PVC outfit, the character is a fascinating ticking time bomb – a woman with her psyche split in two between her timid, repressed ego and her highly-sexualised, uninhibited id.

It’s too bad the planned spinoff film for Pfeiffer never happened (instead becoming the awful Halle Berry movie).
