10 TV Characters Who Would Make Great Batman Villains

10. Nathan Stark (A Town Called Eureka)

Nathan Stark is already moulded in Bruce Wayne's image - a wealthy, successful and athletic genius running an industrial company and forever seen in only the sharpest of suits.

A rivalry between the two, therefore, only seems natural. Stark always played something approaching a more morally ambiguous role in A Town Called Eureka, often more concerned with Global Dynamics' bottom line than the greater good. This clouded vision of the bigger picture could easily be used to set up a confrontation with Batman.

He has access to billions and billions of dollars' worth of gadgets and advanced technology, making him a very plausible threat as a foe and he even has his own contrived deus ex machina resurrection plot device, just like Ra's al Ghul.

Stark's many similarities to Bruce Wayne would serve to illuminate the key differences that they do share, which should help towards keeping the occasionally bland hero likeable. It's been noted in the past that Batman also seems to disproportionately target street crime for a man with such potential scope to fight corruption, so taking on the deluded, narcissistic CEO that Stark could become would definitely make for a welcome change of pace.
