Batman: Arkham - Ranking The 10 Greatest Villains So Far

6. Mr. Freeze

Placement on this list is determined based on quality more so than quantity. When it comes to Mr. Freeze, it's all about quality. Victor is always at his best when he is a troubled villain, driven by the emotional mess that comes from a need for both love and revenge. Arkham City and the "Cold, Cold Heart" DLC from Arkham Origins manage to tap into the depth of the character that was birthed in the original animated series. Here, we see how a man who is simply trying to find a cure for the disease that plagues his wife, gets shafted by the powers that be. The cryo accident that transforms his body also singularly focuses his mind on vengeance. Sometimes foe, sometimes hesitant ally, Freeze is motivated by the desperate love he feels for his wife and revenge against those who nearly killed her. The writing is of a quality that makes you almost feel badly for beating him up. Almost.
