10 Best Marvel And DC Supervillains Who've Debuted Since 2000

10. Batzarro

Bizarro has always been a great Superman villain, especially considering that he's not really a true bad guy but just the twisted opposite of Superman. What a great idea, then, to create a Bizarro for Batman to battle.

That's what writer Jeph Loeb did with Batzarro, the Bizarro version of Batman that Loeb introduced into DC's main continuity in Superman/Batman #20 in 2005. How much fun is Batzarro? He goes by the tagline "The World's Worst Detective," he has an upside-down version of Batman's logo on his chest and he wears his utility belt upside-down, too, with its pockets open.

Now that's a great character.

Best Moment

Batzarro makes a big impression in his very first appearance, shooting people as they walk down Crime Alley. Bizarro, from Superman fame, shows up, and the two become friends, vowing to work together to solve the murders that Batzarro has committed. You're correct in assuming that this is pretty much the opposite of Batman's origin story.
