Villians

Some of the most celebrated villains in history come from the Batman universe. Who isn't familiar with Two-Face, The Joker, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy... the list goes on and on! And what makes these villains so memorable is not how evil they are (although, some are pretty evil) but how human they are. Our next episode, Heart of Ice, is famous for being one of the first times that Mr. Freeze was given a more human side. It's a deeply heart wrenching episode. It does what makes this show great. It makes you sympathetic for the villain.

In light of that, I thought we should take a look at some of the best villains from BTAS, and movie pilot has put together this wonderful top ten.

Also, did you know that Batman the Animated Series is the first appearance of Harley Quinn? She was written originally just to be a one-off character, but she was so beloved they made her a regular, and the rest is history. Now it's hard to imagine a batman universe that doesn't include a little "pudding" and "mista Jay" from Harley.

Consider the recent release of Suicide Squad where she is easily one of the most featured characters in the film, and easily had the most merchandising released to accompany the film. It's already being predicted that Harley Quinn costumes will dominate this year's Halloween parties everywhere. Now, many fans argue that this new film isn't the best representation of the character, so lets look back at some of her greatest moments from Batman the Animated Series as complied by CBR.com.
