Every Batman Movie Villain - Ranked From Worst To Best
10. Catwoman (The Dark Knight Rises)
As a seemingly perfect piece of casting, its a shame that Anne Hathaways version of Catwoman only really deserves a bottom-half-of-the-table position in this league of Batman baddies from the movies. Everything seemed perfect the actress, the director, the modern revamp of the look but the end product was ultimately a little lacking, and less enjoyable than Michelle Pfeiffer's version. Perhaps the problem is that we never got to see Catwoman as an outright villain. Yes, she robbed a walking-stick-wielding Bruce Wayne at the start and betrayed him later on, but thats hardly enough to set her up as a meaningful adversary. When she turns good to save Gotham, it doesnt come as a big surprise at all. Really, the villainous potential of Hathaways Selina Kyle was squandered by the films need to make her something of a sidekick. Because of this, Nolan rushes past her criminal capabilities and gets quickly to talk of the clean slate, saving Gotham, and retiring to Italy. Id rather have seen more villainy, but at least Hathaway still got some solid action moments and enough cool dialogue to make an impression nonetheless.
