Ranking the Best Batman Villains (No Joker)

Nerd Ranks ·

2026/03/03

This is probably my favorite Rogues gallery of all-time, and this bracket was a real doozy. I ranked this one on a live stream and the chat decided the victor! Honestly, it's not the path I would have taken, but my champion villain place would have been the same! Like the title says, no Clown Prince of Crime (he obviously is the greatest Batman Baddie, duh.)I am vengeance, I am the night, I....AM...BATMAN.........villains...Connect with our socials and Discord

The Best Cartoons From the 90s/Early 2000s (Nick & CN)

Nerd Ranks ·

2026/02/26

This is the best era of cartoons by far. There were so many bangers that I had to stick to two networks to make it make sense. I'm planning to do another bracket with other networks in the not too distant future. This one is longer, more rambling, more loose. It took me so much time to figure out what this episode looked like and who would come out as the reigning champ, but I stand by my decisions, (as overly thought and silly as they may be.)Connect with our socials and Discord
