16. Nyssa Al Ghul (Season 5)

Nyssa Al Ghul is a well-known character in the Batverse and one that was introduced to Gotham pretty late in the game. Portrayed by Jaime Murray, Nyssa was one of the primary antagonists of Gotham's final season - descending upon the city to exact revenge on Jim and Barbara for the death of her father, Ra's Al Ghul.

Nyssa was full of intent but she failed to succeed in her plans which needless to say, earns her a low ranking place on this list. As the daughter of the head of the infamous League of Shadows, you couldn't be blamed for expecting more from Nyssa. She certainly was shown to be ruthless - condemning ordinary citizens to death during the time in which Gotham became No Man's Land - but her later villainous attempts proved a little lacklustre.

There was a lot to fit into Gotham's final season: Bruce truly taking on the role of Batman, the rise of The Joker, the introduction of Bane. It's probably why Nyssa was a slightly underwhelming villain.
