If there was an evil equivalent of Batman, who would you say it was? I think the Scarecrow is. He had a traumatic childhood, is highly educated, has a fear of birds, and uses fear against people to meet his ends. The Scarecrow is only a bit different to Batman, only evil.

The Joker.

Batman represents law and order and lives to enforce it.

The Joker represents crime and chaos and lives to cause it.

Batman is dark and brooding.Joker is colourful and flamboyant.

Joker and Prometheus.

ya, Joker

Joker, that's why he's #1 on the Rogue's Gallery.

Prometheus.

Any one that says otherwise is a fool.

Slade...evil equivalent doenst mean total opposite....means the same type character just evil....which would be Slade aka Deathstroke

Dr. Doom. Parents' murders leads to a quest for vengeance: both devote their lives to study and accumulate the power to allow them to fulfill their goals. Both have their master plans, near infinite resources, and oftentimes pull inventions out of their asses... just Dr. Doom's quest for vengeance is against the entire world whereas Batman just targets criminals.
(Honestly, the Joker? I'm with Blair Wind on this one)

You could make a case for The Penguin. He is an orphan. And had a traumatice childhood. Except he isn't "evil" in the same level as the Joker.

I'd also say either Slade, Prometheus or Joker.

The Clown Prince of Crime himself, the Joker

Agreed.

Prometheus. Their origin is nearly the same. He was made to be the "anti-Batman".

Agreed. Prometheus had an awesome origin.
It's too bad he's been dumbed down ridiculously...
He should have been the "Doom" of DC.

Definately Prometheus.

No offence to anyone, but Joker is not Batman's 'evil equivalent.' He's the complete opposite of Batman which is a different thing altogether.

he was until they jobbed him.

We try to explain... it's no use, friend.

OPPOSITES ARE GAY AND EQUIVALENTS ARE GAY

The Batman's arch-nemesis is the Joker, and the opposite of a bat is not a clown.

promethius is a second stringer in the DC universe isn't he?

WHO THE **** IS PROMETHIUS?

Ras is the equivelent of Batman, on the other side
Joker is the antithesis of everything Batman is.

Well you can do that, but the last page has a nice Pic of him too.

oooooo

Why do people say scarecrow is the opposite of batman, scarecrow is smart and good with chemicals but batman is on a much higher leval then scarecrow. in some books batman has beaten superman and is one of the best fighters on earth and has a plan for anything that could happen. Scarecrow is a skinny dude with a fear gass gimick.

Prometheus, it was awesome seeing him take down the justice league, even blooming Batman right until the rematch :P

Owlman

^I was just gonna say that!! oh well you stole my thunder...owlman!

yep.I like his reasons for scarecrow though.

The same way the Batman never stops at striking fear into criminals is the same for the Joker who never stops at striking fear into innocent people.The Joker just won't stop,like Batman.The Scarecrow is up their with the Joker because he likes to make people fear him too and he's always be sort of obsessed with fear.
