Alright I am not talk like Thanos or somebody even near that level somebody closer to Batman level of villians. Marvel Villains only who would give him the most trouble but make it interesting.

Villains
Deadpool
Doc Ock
Sabretooth
Venom
Puma
etc
etc

Wei Phoenix
Deadpool. Someone he can't really hurt, kill or shut up.

sabertooth is a woman hating serial killer and rapist. he is by far the worst ******* in this list and batman would never bring himself to kill him, so he'll end up blaming himself for all the people he's killed like he does every once in a while or end up mourning another batgirl

On the flipside Batman wouldn't need to worry about holding back since Sabertooth has a healing factor. So driving over him with a truck would be fair game.

Anyways, most of Bats' villains are worse than these guys anyways, or on par. I don't see any qualifying as "worst nightmare" material.

godking
Kingpin would be batmans most dangerous enemy.

Kingpin matches or surpasses each of batmans strengths and unlike most of batmans rogues gallery has no obvious mental blind spot.

Parmaniac
Nightmare (Marvel) or Freddy Krueger

golem370
Well those were just a few to pick from but they're more like Bullseye Puma Scorpion alot to pick from. Green Goblin would be good. He has good weapons and is nearly as strong as Spider-Man.

753
Deadpool is more of an anti-hero than a villain too, it's just that marvel is a lot lesse mercyfull on average. Remember those lame heroic brutalities on the mortal kombat series? if it was marvel vs mk or x-men vs mk there would be real fatalities and nobody would complain or even find it weird

Well, Sabertooth would have raped, disfigured and then maimed barbara gordon instead of just shooting her. But yes, on average the joker is as bad as it gets

WickedDynamite
Arcade
Mysterio
Punisher (Well, he would see him as a villain)

deadpool would annoy the F*CK out of batman. i think having deadpool work with bats would be worse than working against him. deadpool would probably have to pick up a body part every 5 mins


anyways, ya kingpin would be a huge problem for batman, he can easily match him in hand-to-hand (not to mention hes much stronger) and has access to vast funds and advanced tech as well.

Prep-Man
What? Kingpin is a meta. He'd crush Batman. bruce will find a way around him, though.

Though I can see Batman totally blowing the lid on his illegitimate enterprises and ruining his vaunted legal force-field. Batman would be great at digging up dirt to bring Fisk down the legal way, or just have Wayne Enterprises stage a hostile take over of his assets.

I'd atleast during knightfall have considered bane to be batman's nightmare villain in the sense that to really trouble batman you need to both a psychological and combatative threat.
Most of his rogues gallery are either one or the other.

I'd go with ultimate Red Skull. He's an absoluet psycho and unlike most of batman's rogues can straight up beat him in an encounter.

T'challa would be Batmans worst nightmare for a nemesis, without moving to far into the superhuman catagory. I know he's not a villain, but he DID once fight the Fan4. :P Failing that id say Red Skull, Ultimate seems more ruthless.

Also you can drop the sacrastic tone anytime you want, we're just debating.
I personally would've killed Joker myself on Batman's place. But it's not that simple. Joker's point is - he's normal, everybody else is not. And not the other way around. He believes anyone can be droven to the point where he or she would commit a coldblooded murder, even of innocent people. Which means they're just like him but like to pretend to be "normal". Sure they could kill Joker. But once these sane people decide that the only way to keep the world safe and "normal" would be by comitting a murder, that'd prove his point that they're just like him. If Batman ever kills him it'd destroy everything he ever stood for. It'd mean that anyone can be a murder when he's left with no choice, itd mean that everyone IS a murder deep inside but is fooling himself by livving in a blue fantasy world. Especially Batman who believes in doing things by the book. That's why he's already "perfect" for Batman.

So you're gonna be like that eh? Ok, fine. List all those 100 times. Right now.
He's only been so close to death ONCE (that's why I picked that example) and almost destroyed the world. No reason to think it'd all go safe and dandy the next time.
Even when he was simply in danger (not life or death kind of thing) itd still result in lotsa people dying.

Its a forgone conclusion that hes going to kill again, Legally its murder morally it isn't. Hell im preetu sure laws have been passed were certain people can get shot on sight. It could be argued he has a moral obligation (but of course you shouldn't break the law).

753
It's not legitimate defense of self or others if you can stop a threat with less than lethal force and chooses to use lethal force anyway. That's why batman doesnt do it, he's good enough to contain him without having to kill, otherwise he would. The problem is that they live in a comic book world with bad joke-useless human institutions where a man with no superpowers leaves a maximum security security whenever he wants to and kilsl again - why dont they keep him drugged and down at all times? is it his immunity to poisons?

Batman should make his own prison for his looney toons anyway. Not killing is understandable, but always giving them up to the legal authorities that cant handle them is just stupidity at this point, vigilantism is also illegal to begin with, so kidnapping them isnt a stretch

Batman has killed aliens and non-humans. Batman doesnt give a shit about the law he breaks it all the time. Its a bullshit moral code.

If they qualify as "sentient", meaning endowed with personhood, I havent seen it, and it is extremelly out of character, he wouldnt kill a green martian for instance.

Maybe not, but we're talking about Batman here, and in his book comitting a murder in order to stop a bad guy is not the right thing.

But that's the problem with Bats, he believes in the law (once he even saved Joker from electric chair because he was sentenced for a crime he didn't commit.) If Batman breaks the law and kills - Joker will win (ofcourse he'd be dead, but between the two of them he'll win) it'd mean that he was right all along, and Batman was a hypocrate. Than everybody else would start killing bad guys in order to stop them and the world will turn into a bloodbath, and that'll be Joker's ultimate victory. The scan should explain his motives better than me.

He actually showed a surprising level of competence when he sent R'as Al Ghul to Arkham and put him under drugs that kept him sedated. Until one Asylum worker missed his dosage and R'as escaped.

True, but even then the people running arkham screwed that up. Obviously, keeping them there isnt the way to go.

redhotrash
Carnage would be nasty. A rampaging killing machine that Batman cant stop until he figures out his weakness.
Taskmaster would also bring a lot to the table. Not just because hes a hard fight, but also because he'd improve all those nameless thugs in Gotham.

WhiteWitchKing
I think these guys would scary the hell out of batman (not Adam West Batman tho).

prob sabre tooth, cause sab would kill him in a fight.

Wild Shadow
there are dozens of low lvl metas street lvlers that would be a nightmare for bruce.. he normally faces psychos with limited access to tech, weapons, minions and even pedestrian aspirations... anyone with a good dose of intelligence and financial support should overwhelm bats.


kingpin- criminal/corporate empire with his minions both in legal and criminals.
redskull- neo nazi skin heads and his corporations for support.
taskmaster and his training facilities and once in a while criminal interferes..

Norman Osborn- his companies and alter ego would be enough to compete with bats and even hire henchmen to harass and beat bats or use for robberies..fancy dan and his gang)

Carnage- insanity and warped view of life makes joker look like a harmless toddler.

Sabretooth- same as carnage warped view and powers make him a real threat.

Doc Ock might be a reasonable threat as well but easier to put down for batz but he would still be a headache for brucie at times.

golem370
Kraven the Hunter would be good.

Batman routinely faces foes who could kill him in a fight. Sabretooth doesn't exactly strike me as the sort who would give Bats nightmares. You have to have a bit more of a psychological slant to you to mess with Bats, Creed is just a straight-forward psychopath with powers.

Wild Shadow
Vermin in the sewers would be another good one for bats a mix of killer croc and man bat but, less jobbing..

Carrion would be good for bats but i can see him killing bats if he ever touches him...

Demo goblin another warped reflection of bats but demonic and supernatural...

these guys would fit perfectly in Gotham with bats trying to figure out murder cases and what their deal is..

Hobgoblin also a good one hunting bats down b/c he is paid to..

i was thinking that mysterio might be a good one for bats but i somehow see bats seeing past his illusions due to his infra red lenses and batarang to the fish bowel for the win..

You have to have a bit more of a psychological slant to you to mess with Bats, Creed is just a straight-forward psychopath with powers. Creeds a problem if hes interested in his target. Taking everything from enemy to make them suffer is his typical mo for wolverine. Killing gordon is on the list of likely people he would kill at first and anyone else hes remotely close to. It wouldn't be an elaborate plan where he kidnaps them and lures Batman in. Bruce would just find someone like Barbara mutilated, raped, and layed out for everyone to see. I see Sabertooth as a huge problem for Bruce because he wont play Bruce's game unlike so many of Batmans rogues. Hes dangerous because hes pure savagery, no conscience, smarter than he lets on, and straight to the point.

Stoic
Creed would be another Killer Croc IMO, and less than a worthy foe for someone as methodical as Batman. I won't deny that if he was given the chance to get close enough to Batman that he would put the big hurt on him, but this is Batman that we are talking about... one word gadgets.

SamZED
I wouldn't compare Sabertooth to Killer Croc, imo that's kinda insulting to Creed.

Stoic
Well he is in the same weight class, despite popular opinions, this is not to say that Croc would beat him, but they are but superior to Batman in strength and natural ability. Would Creed be Batmans worst nightmare? I don't think so, he's not smart enough... Batman would be challenged by someone more like the Red Skull, as I said earlier.

SamZED
Agreed. Res Skull or even Doom would be much better. I just meant that Sabertooth is very hard to put down or contain compared to KC. And I believe he's far stronger. So if Bats ends up himself in a direct confrontation with ST he's toast.

Lord_Talron
doom is way over bats head

Were did you come to this conclusion that they were in the same weight class? there both meta true, but the same class? Hell no. Sabre-tooth is better then croc in ever single way and in many ways he much better.

Sabre-tooth is extremely smart, this misconception that he would not be smart enough is simply a misconception. You know that his intelligence is way up there right?

The problem with batmans rogues are their own cis. Joker feels like hes playing a game, Riddler wants to prove hes smarter, clayface and freeze usually have their own separate problems, ghuls usually testing Bruce, and two-faces psych problems hinder his judgement. Creed has none of these shortcomings. What happens when bruce finds gordon murdered in his office with no ransom or trap? I think your underestimating how dangerous Creed is against Batman whose used to a grandiose scheme set by flamboyant opponents. Unlike most of Batmans other enemies, Creeds cat and mouse games dont give the great detective a lot to work with.

Let's see: Catwoman?
She can take care of herself.

Yeah way to go Creed, get the Birds of Prey on your ass, why don't you.

Oh no, Creed DOES NOT want to mess with R'as Al Ghul's daughter. If he went after Talia Sabes would have to hope Batman got to him before R'as did.

let me get this straight batman will beat sabretooth with his utility belt?

gas,taser, cyro capsules maybe sonic attacks maybe batline and nets explosives? if he can figure out sabe in time b4 getting killed..

how is any of this going to put down creed?


second lets say he does beat sabe it wont be with him being unscathed but brutally maimed and possibly fatally injured.. but lets say he gets help in time and he didnt lose an eye or an arm which would be impossible to explain as bruce wayne..

now you have a homicidal killer that has his scent knows how to hunt, stalk and kill... when he escapes what is he going to do? hunt stalk bats till he knows everything about him.. alter ego, sidekicks, friends, lovers.... hmm.. somehow i dont see bats surviving unless he specifically knows all about him and knows when he will come..

sabe has waited months, years b4 attacking waiting for his opportunity...

bats wouldnt be able to consistently sabe.. also he isnt a meat head at all.. also sabe is immune to ko, riot gas..

are you kidding me? Ra's would get shit stompped by sabre-tooth. I don't think you understand the level sabre-tooth is on or even closes to it.

becuase if you think Ra's would even be a threat to him you are very mistaken.

sabre-tooth would slaughter all the bat girls as well and robins ect. He would kill every women in batmans life, he kill his sons ect. He does not care he would make it his life goal to make batman suffer.

no your not. nor does being a fan matter. I don't even like him, but I know a shit load mroe then you. He does not need to be as smart as batman. This stupid miscocneption of yours that people need to be as smart as batman to be a threat to him is reidculous unfounded.


Logans issues are that he kills everyone he loves and there nothing he can do to stop it. That is an issue he can easily make for batman as well. so please understand what your talking about before you type it.

Batman has never faced someone who would murder nightwing and robin and cassy for fun, then go to lunch and come back for the green arrows. Then go and skin the butler, all just to get to Batman. I think even the mighty Bruce Wayne will have issues after that.

Not at all. They go off on there own all the time, nor does protecting indentities matter to sabre-tooth.


joker never done what sabre-tooth does. joker plays with them to much and is mentally unstable which due to cis allows for most of batmans lvoe ones to survive.......sabre-tooth does not have that same cis.

actaully he consistently deals with street thugs so so forth. He deals with bigger threats in team ups and jlsa. thats not the same thing and does not in anyway make sabre-tooth not a threat. That line of rational is absurd.

actaully gunna leave this one be becuase I not overly knolwdgeable about her.


are you kidding me? Ra's would get shit stompped by sabre-tooth. I don't think you understand the level sabre-tooth is on or even closes to it.

becuase if you think Ra's would even be a threat to him you are very mistaken.

sabre-tooth would slaughter all the bat girls as well and robins ect. He would kill every women in batmans life, he kill his sons ect. He does not care he would make it his life goal to make batman suffer.
I'm not saying Catwoman can take Sabes, just that she can handle her self rather well.

As for R'as its not like he's going to go after Sabes himself. Not when he has the League of Assassins at his beck and call.

You're wanking Sabertooth to be some ultimate villain when he's really nothing Batman hasn't faced before.

batman vs sabes:

1.) sabes and bats fight for the first time: batman escapes when he realizes that he will need prep to beat him
2.) sabes uses his scent to track him and find out who he is and the people he cares about
3.) sabes starts killing the people bats cares about
4.) bats finishes his prep. OHSHI- its a PIS-Hammer
5.) bats wins

thats how it goes folks smile

most of which are cannon fodders, which are the only things ra's ever seems to bring with him, there no better then the hand which sabre-tooth took down hundreds of them. You do realize sabre-tooth is not some bum right? he also has an asistent who has a huge ass gun, also a telepath and high level of security among contacts and so forth. I like to see them try and take him.

I not wanking anything, I stating it how it is. Sabre-tooth for the level given is the worst person batman could face in marvel. The way he operrates is much different then the clones batman faces, sabre-tooth does not scheme or come up with stupid plains. He goes in does what he wants to do and leaves. batman never face some one who operrates like sabre-tooth does nor who simply kills anyone he loves for no other reason then to **** with batman, he does not uses them to lure batman to some rediculous trap, he simply kills them and leaves.

You just don't understand what people are trying to explain to you nor do you have any real knolwedge on sabre-tooth and yes I stating this as a fact given you think cat woman being able to handle her self means anything when faicng sabre-tooth.

Even wolverine who uses to losing love ones still has that **** with him. It **** with batman all the same and no batman is not in anyway shape or form more well prepared to deal with such tragic events then wolverine and this is a fact.

It not saying he batman biggest threat power wises. But at the level the creator picked, sabre-tooth would be the one who could most **** with batman and cause him intense emotional pain.

As standard Amazo has the powerset of most of the core seven of the JLA.

It was stated in the issue that it had Flash's speed (which Batman neutralised), and several of Superman's powers.

Plastic explosive is pretty handy in those situations.

barbara has the birds of prey at the very LEAST to protect her. like omega said, though, if she dies, you're going to have everyone from the JSA to Superman hunting Sabretooth. and they'll find him.

yes, he does operate at that standard level, actually.

batman isn't stupid enough to let something like that happen. added to the fact that he doesn't even spend that much time around the said women in his life would make things uber difficult.

your going to honestly trying and argue that he nomrlaly operrates at levels that allow him to nuetralize flash level speed? honestly?



stupid has nothing to do with it. wolverine one of the stealthest mothers on the planet and it don't mean squat when sabre-tooth involved. Intelligences does not matter. there ability to track peoples scent in rediculous, he have to constantly remove his scent from his body stuff ect. That be rediculous and even then he would not even know sabre-tooth powers when they first meet. also does not take a rocket scientist to understand that girls running around as bat girls are closes to batman.

Wild Shadow
sabretooth doesn't care about retaliation he will kill bats loved ones regardless of the consequences... which would be getting sent to arkum asylum? big deal.

and yes sabretooth can separate and find one scent in the entire city it is how he tracked and found gambit in new orleans.. and his lovers scent..

bats may not spend time with some of his women in his life but bruce does hang out with alfred, robin nightwing and various employees and trophy dates..

if you read the comic and see how he did it, then yes.

that's the point. Bruce wouldn't have Selina, Barbara or Cassie's scent on him. At all.

Batgirl can hold off/escape from Sabretooth long enough to signal Batman. And Bruce has dealt with PLENTY of emotional trauma in the past.

alfred lives in the manor.

we not argueing that sabre-tooth would be his worst villain ever, or hardest to take down. we are argueing given the power level given that from marvel sabre-tooth has the potential to be the most dangerous emotionally and mentally to batman due to how he operrates. people like carnage are far more deadly, but mentally they dont really have the potential to **** with batman.

Sabretooth has ambushed wolverine while wolverine was trying to hide from him and knew he was being stalked.. how is a 17 yr old kid going to do better then the best damn trackers and hunters on the planet?

pls be serious here..


why wouldn't a scent be on bats unless he constantly rubs some kind of lotion on his skin to neutralize scent as his standard O.P. b4 going out which i doubt..

his rubber latex and equipment all give off somekind of smell.. as well.

we not saying it would cripple batman or even stop him t all. We are saying that sabre-tooth given the level the creator came up with has the most potential to **** with him emotionally and he would hurt him emotionally. would it stop batman ? no. would he emotionally on some levels effect him yes.
