7 Villains Batman Has NEVER Defeated

3. Giganta

Giganta isn't particularly a Batman villain. In fact, the pair have rarely ever crossed paths. But when they have, it's not worked out well for the World's Greatest Detective.

For those maybe not all that familiar with Giganta, she's primarily a Wonder Woman villain who is a giant in every possible sense. With a mammoth stature and the strength and agility that comes with that, Giganta has proven to be a tough fight for many a hero.

Where Batman is concerned, he was left embarrassed by Giganta during an episode of Batman: Brave and the Bold.

In the episode aptly-titled Powerless!, it featured a concern over how Batman - and his lack of superpowers - could be easily swatted to one side by some of the more powerful members of DC's rogues gallery. Just like that, as Captain Atom discusses his worry about all of this, Giganta turns up to cause chaos.

With Batman doing his usual Batman thing of heading into battle with a plan to take down this hulking figure, the Dark Knight is left red faced when Giganta steps on him as if he was just a bug. Since that embarrassing loss, Bats has yet to have the opportunity to test himself against Giganta again.
