7. Scarecrow

Jonathan Crane, who prefers to go by his alter-ego, the Scarecrow, is one of the very few supervillains to never die in the comics or in any film adaptations. Considering he appeared in every movie in The Dark Knight trilogy, that is a pretty impressive achievement.

Although Crane is an excellent fighter, he relies on his fear toxins to battle Batman and other superheroes. Luckily, Batman has built up a resistance to these toxins, which has allowed him to defeat Crane time and time again.

You might find it a little weird that Scarecrow has never died considering he has been duking it out with Batman for nearly 80 years. Superman killed Doomsday and he is meant to be immortal. Scarecrow is an ordinary human with no superpowers. How has he avoided death so many times?

The reason is quite simple – He’s a Batman villain. Batman has a No-Kill Rule. If someone else tried to kill Crane, Batman would do everything in his power to save him even though Bats knows Scarecrow is a psychopathic murderer. But Scarecrow isn’t the only Batman villain that has cheated death time and time again…
