In my opinion, the Joker is the ultimate comic book villain. From the beginning he has been one badass dude, killing with laughter in a time when comic book deaths were few and far between.
He is the ultimate nemesis, a criminal so chaotic, so insane, that Batman’s logical mind simply cannot keep up. The Joker has seen his character remodeled over the years, but not as much as many of the other comic book heroes and villains that get facelifts, proving that the Joker’s creators more or less had it right the first time.
ComicsAlliance has an interesting and insightful article detailing the history of the clown prince of crime, read on if you want to see just how far the Joker has come over the years.
If you’re a villain-in-training or just really interested in how to stop a fictional character with real tools, then this is the gallery for you. From Captain Planet’s susceptibility to pepper spray to the one thing outside of Kryptonite that can stop the Man of Steel, Dvice celebrates Superhero Week by revealing weaknesses for puny mortals to exploit.

Forget do-gooders! The villains have all the fun. Plus they are more likely to be better looking. In case of teen movie villains of the ’80s, Nerve has got the definitive list of who’s the hottest. Case in point:
Zabka sweeps the leg straight into our hearts (don’t worry, it’s the good kind of pain) as Cobra Kai badass and Daniel LaRusso social and romantic rival, Johnny. His epic moves, showy uniforms (can you say embroidered snake patch?), and gang of devoted fanboys represent everything our grade-school selves thought would be cool about taking up karate. His ability to switch from murderous glare to all-American good-boy grin on a dime only adds to the mystique.

Looking at these amazing pictures posted at Country Life, you can almost picture a super villain lounging around, petting his (evil, of course) cat.
This "Subterranean Mansion" in Bowdon, England, is entirely built underground and comes complete with a swimming pool with waterfalls and slide.
This ultimate super villain lair can be yours for only £2 million.

Within a storytelling construct, an antagonist is key, and cartoons have had some of the most dynamic, interesting villains throughout history. The list at Bezbrige has ten interesting choices, including everybody’s favorite desert dog: Wile E. Coyote.
Wile Ethelbert Coyote seems to have an endless supply of Acme tools that he can use against the innocent Roadrunner. In every episode he attempts to destroy the Roadrunner with a bag of tricks that would make any terrorist envious. Thankfully he usually fails and blows himself up (something else the terrorists are probably familiar with).
See the rest of the list, and come back and tell us what they missed.

Forget heroes. I find villains much more interesting. Here’s a wonderful montage titled: Heart of Darkness, a Montage, Cinema’s Top Human Villains, by YouTube user hh, listing 45 of the best (worst?) Hollywood baddies.
The music, East Hastings by Goodpseed You! Black Emperor, certainly contributed much to the awesomeness of the clip.
I’m glad that Kathy Bates’ character Annie Wilkes from the movie Misery made the list. Who do you think is the best Hollywood villain?
