Batman, Superman, and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dc-wonder-woman-vs-greek-mythology/maggie-clancy" target="_blank">Wonder Woman</a> are all top DC heroes, and they have been and will remain as some of the most iconic and important <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/superheroes-ranked-by-most-comic-book-appearances/ranker-comics?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">superheroes of all time</a>.

The top DC villains on this list of baddies may not have been around too long as we&#39;ve added new DC villains for you to vote on.

For over 80 years, DC Comics has been publishing some of the best comic book villains of all time, including the Joker, Lex Luthor, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-riddler-riddles/mallory-weiler" target="_blank">the Riddler</a>, Deathstroke, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/batman-nemesis-bane/stephanroget" target="_blank">Bane</a>, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/baby-darkseid-story/brent-sprecher" target="_blank">Darkseid</a>, and Brainiac.

Who is the best DC comic book villain? Who is the best DC superhero nemesis? Who are the top DC&nbsp;supervillains?

If you think one of these super villains isn&#39;t worth a match-up with the Justice League, vote them down. If your favorite DC bad guy isn&#39;t on the list, add them so they can compete for the title of the greatest DC villain.

&quot;Strength&quot; in comic books is hard to qualify, or quantify. One character always has to be stronger than another or there are no stakes. Which is why it seems like everyone in the DC Universe somehow has access to the &quot;extremely rare&quot; Kryptonite... But power, power is another story.

These are the most powerful beings, entities, and characters in all of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/tags/dc-comics?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag">DC Comics</a>. The characters on this list are those that possess the strength, intelligence, and abilities to rival the gods! (There are some gods on this list, and not necessarily at the top.)

We want to know&nbsp;who YOU think is the most powerful being! Whose more powerful The Spectre or Parallax? Anti-Monitor or Imperiex? Superman Prime or Darkseid?

Vote up those your think are the most powerful! Vote down those that aren&#39;t worthy! And when you&#39;re finished with this list, you can also vote on the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/strongest-characters-in-dceu/ashley-reign" target="_blank">strongest characters in the DCEU</a>.

Characters in DC comics are often criticized for being emotionally shallow when compared to those that appear in Marvel titles. A lot of this is rooted in the idea that while Marvel characters are, for the most part, ordinary people that become something extraordinary, DC characters are often seen as gods trying to live among men, making it significantly more difficult for readers to connect with them on a more personal level. That's not to say that there aren't moments in DC comics that will <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/saddest-anime-series-of-all-time/ranker-anime?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">make you cry</a>.The thing Marvel excels at is establishing an emotional relationship with the reader relatively fast, where DC comics definitely focus on the long game when it comes to falling in love with a character. They have this habit of lulling you into a false sense of security before&nbsp;BAM! That character is taken away from you and your heart is crushed - not knowing how much you cared about that character until they're gone.&nbsp;Vote up the emotional DC comics moments that hit you hard in the feels.

Comic books thrive on bright colors, exciting action, and awesome costumes. You can tell a lot about a hero or a villain by their super garb. Unfortunately, a lot of that super doesn&#39;t translate so well to 3D, much less moving at 24 frames per second. We all know the design and illustrations that go into making up our favorite comic heroes represent real art. Likewise, the costume designers who construct tangible, wearable designs from their own imaginations is also an art, though these don&#39;t always mix.

Spandex wrinkles and crinkles and shows every burrito. Heels? Yeah, fighting in heels seems like a great idea. Capes? Ha. Right. Capes. These are those costumes that didn&#39;t turn out so hot, those that looked better in 2D, these are the worst adaptations of DC Comics costumes!

Comic Books

It used to be that it was a very rare occasion for fan favorite DC heroes to interact with each other in comic book stories. (Just take a look at how far apart the dates were in the beginning). Nowadays, it seems that a new announcement or teaser for an upcoming DC Comics crossover happens on a monthly basis. But which has been <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-marvel-crossover-events/ranker-comics?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the best crossover</a> in <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/emotional-dc-comics-moments/joedonley?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">DC Comics history</a>?&nbsp;Many DC crossovers deal with worlds ending and universes colliding like <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-happened-in-crisis-on-infinite-earths/jordan-breeding?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Crisis on Infinite Earths</a>, and DC vs Marvel. Or sometimes it's enormous events&nbsp;occurring in one heroes life that effect the entire DCU like Death of Superman, Knightfall or Identity Crisis. &nbsp;There are even epic crossovers so big that they cause an entirely NEW DC universe like 52.We've collected what we think are some of the best crossover events in DC history. Make sure to vote up all the DC comic book story lines that are your favorite.&nbsp;

Entertainment Franchises

While Marvel might lay claim to box office offerings, the best DC animated shows dominate&nbsp;the world of cartoons and animated content. In the 1990s, a major shift in tone set in,&nbsp;transitioning from the campy offerings of the 1960s and 1970s to a darker and more cinematic feel thanks to Bruce Timm&#39;s Batman: The Animated Series, released in 1992. This genre-defining show, one of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-dc-comic-book-television-show/ranker-tv" target="_blank">best cartoons based on DC comics</a>,&nbsp;introduced new characters&nbsp;like Poison Ivy and Harley, who&nbsp;transitioned over to the comics and&nbsp;became&nbsp;staples in Batman&#39;s gallery of rogues. Furthermore, Batman: The Animated Series&nbsp;ignited&nbsp;an animation revolution, spawning the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dc-comics-animated-movies/all-genre-movies-lists" target="_blank">DC Animated Universe</a> of both TV and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/dc-comics-animated-movies/all-genre-movies-lists" target="_blank">film</a>, affectionately referred to as the &quot;Timmverse&quot;&nbsp;due to Timm&#39;s signature art style.

This created a shared universe between most of the shows DC and Warner Brothers produced between 1992 and 2006, culminating with Justice League: Unlimited, beating out Marvel&#39;s Shared Cinematic Universe by nearly a decade. Included below are the the best DC animated shows ever created, who all built upon their predecessors to continue telling&nbsp;the timeless DC pursuit of justice. Some even topped the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-superhero-tv-shows/ranker-tv" target="_blank">list of best comic book TV shows of all time</a>, so it goes to show that in the end, justice really does pay off.

Archenemy, arch-rival, arch-nemesis whatever you want to call it, it's personal. The yin to the yang, the polar opposite, that villain that stands for all that you stand against.Polarity in comics is important, without clear and dangerous evil there can be no altruistic and noble good. We need the dark to appreciate the light.Oftentimes a hero's arch-nemesis reflects their own beliefs and/or their own psyche. <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/times-the-joker-was-good/nathan-gibson?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">The Joker is</a> an agent of chaos where Batman strives for order. Superman is an alien force striving for altruistic good whereas Lex Luthor is a man of this world, striving for his own good.&nbsp;Keep in mind, these are comic history's major rivalries and there can be only one per super hero (sorry, that means no Riddler or Brainiac).These baddies may overlap other DC properties, but there really is only one main rivalry they are known for.&nbsp;They represent the epic confrontations, the big bads, the best arch-enemies in DC Comics.&nbsp; &nbsp; Make sure to vote-up your favorite Archenemies from the DC Comic Universe!

Comic Book Movies

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker

<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-dceu-movies/ranker-film" target="_blank">(If you&#39;re looking for the new films, check out the best DC Extended Universe movies here!)</a> DC Comics is one of the two mainstream comic distributors in the world (the other, of course, being Marvel Comics). They publish dozens of titles and have invented thousands of characters. Warner Brothers acquired DC and strengthened their film department. Unlike Marvel Studios, Warners has all the DC characters legally under one umbrella. This allows them to (theoretically) assemble a film universe encompassing all DC heroes, from the fan favorites to the obscure, with ease.

Christopher Nolan was certainly an asset in rebuilding the DC film-verse after those Joel Schumacher <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/all-batman-movies-or-list-of-batman-movies?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Batman films</a> happened, and below we celebrate Nolan&#39;s films, along with all of the others that gave us faith in DC&#39;s larger than life heroes once again.

DC Comics is one of the two mainstream comic distributors in the world (the other, of course, being Marvel Comics). They publish dozens of titles and have invented thousands of characters. Warner Brothers acquired DC and strengthened their film department. Unlike Marvel Studios, Warners has all the DC characters legally under one umbrella.

There have certainly been some follies, and here we celebrate (or at least grumble about) that time when DC didn't have a 10 year plan.

Casting is truly an art form. Each and every cast member from starring, to supporting, to day-player, affects the entire tone of the film. What would Bruce Wayne be without Christian Bale, who was up against a number of actors on this list for the role? Casting is everything, and the actors on this list couldn't make the cut for the role of any number of DC heroes and villains.These are all of the shadows of that ideal, the people who were ALMOST legends, who almost had action figures and multi-picture deals and10-year contracts.&nbsp;These are the people who, for one reason or another, didn't end up playing these great characters of the comic book world.&nbsp;Which actors almost became DC's film heroes and villains? Their films went on to be made, not ending up on the list of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/comic-book-movies-we-never-got-to-experience/ranker-comics">comic book movies we never saw</a>, but the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-film-actors-and-actresses-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">actors and actresses</a> listed here weren't part of the fun.

Character Costumes

Comic books thrive on bright colors, exciting action, and awesome costumes. You can tell a lot about a hero or a villain by their super garb. It&#39;s especially hard to translate that 2D skill to 3D, and even harder when it has to be moving at 24 frames per second.

We all know the design and illustrations that go into making up our favorite comic heroes is truly an art form. Likewise, the costume designers who construct tangible, wearable, designs from their own imaginations is also an art.&nbsp;

These people have to somehow make <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/robin-hood-men-in-tights-cast-then-and-now/melissa-sartore?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">men in tights</a> believable. We have to believe a big blue glowing naked guy might just hang out with a dude that has an ink blot test on his face. We have to believe in a Batman. A Bat. Man.&nbsp;

These are those impressive feats in costume design, those artists who create magic with their hands and sewing machines, these are the best adaptations of DC Comics costumes.

Most of the time in comic books, characters get around via with some pretty cool alternative transportation. There are grappling hooks, jet packs, power rings, and of course, a bunch of superheroes can fly. The world of comics isn't exactly a car friendly environment, especially since most superheroes are based in cities, and traffic isn't conducive to crime fighting.There are some exceptions though. Some super vehicles last for a few issues, while others are a staple of the character, regularly helping them get from point A to point B. Some are awesome (like the Batmobile), while some... aren't quite as cool (hello, Invisible Jet). This list features all the vehicles from the DC Comics universe, from the glorious, to the lame, ranked by the Ranker Comics community. Cast your votes on cars below to join in and have your voice heard.

Almost as important as their powers is a superhero's costume. The clothes make the man and all that. Things to consider in outfitting your hero are: the ability to disguise it's heroes secret identity, translation of powers to costume, color schemes, team affiliation, (theoretical) practicality, and of course looking awesome.Many of these heroes, in addition to being clad in some of the most iconic suits in the world, have had so many other, supplemental costumes. For example, you see the Batman costume or even a part of it, mask, chest, anything and it's instantly recognizable. Beyond that main outfit, the Frank Miller suit is almost just as well known. Sometimes an alternate suit can become a fan favorite, and be made canon too.All of these variations have served their individual purposes throughout the years. These are the best alternate costumes of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-dc-comics-heroes?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">DC Comics superheroes</a>. The criteria for this list, each costume must have been worn one full issue or more with the intent of being an alternate outfit, slight color variations per artist don't count nor do transformations. Also, keep a look our for alternate costumes from DC <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-comic-book-video-games/ranker-comics?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Comic video games</a>, like Injustice.&nbsp;

Crime doesn&#39;t pay, and in the world of DC superhero films, it usually&nbsp;ends in some sort of karmic justice. Whether it be <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/strongest-characters-in-dceu/ashley-reign" target="_blank">General Zod&nbsp;duking it out with&nbsp;Superman</a> or Ares dueling Wonder Woman, most DC villains are so driven by their beliefs that they don&#39;t turn back when it leads to a dead end. To live by the sword is to die by the sword, and to live by a twisted sense of justice is to have that same set of rules applied to yourself, ultimately leading to your doom.&nbsp;

In real life, villains don&#39;t always get what they deserve. It seems like more often than not, the worst among us live lavish lives of luxury. That&#39;s why it&#39;s so cathartic to turn to the world of superheroes and see a villain actually face consequences for their actions. Below are a set of the most poetic, cathartic, and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-deserved-action-villain-ends/williamsbrianjake" target="_blank">satisfying villain demises</a> and punishments in DC&#39;s cinematic output.

Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero

A list of the best DC animated feature length movies including new DC animated movies as well. These are feature length animated films based on DC comics such as Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern, characters that live within the DC Universe. In the 1990s, when live action <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-based-on-detective-comics/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">movies based on DC Comics</a> were in a slump, the Warner Bros' DC animation division took the reins, putting forth great quality animated films led by the likes of Paul Dini, Bruce Timm, and Alan Burnett. Today, animated films based on DC Comics are still popular.&nbsp; &nbsp; What are the best DC animated movies? Are the animated Batman movies like Batman: Under the Red Hood and Batman Beyond: The Return of the Joker your favorites? DC Comics is currently owned by DC Entertainment, which in turn is owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment. These may not be all the DC animated movies, but they are the greatest. &nbsp;You may think this is a list of DC movies, but in fact it is list of DC animated movies only. So you won’t find the likes of The Dark Knight, or Man of Steel here, but you will for sure see all the Superman animated movies. Maybe once DC makes enough we can have a Justice League movies list. &nbsp;

These are the best Vertigo Comics that you need to add to your library. Vertigo Comics is an imprint of DC, which came into being in 1993. DC Comics started this other label to produce more adult-oriented stories. Comics published under Vertigo would be free from the constraints of the Comics Code Authority, which would allow more creative freedom. Comics that have come from this label over the years have been more violent and graphic, and they have generally shown more sexuality, profanity, and other controversial subjects. Many fantastic comic books have come out of the company over the years, and this list runs through the top Vertigo comics of all time.&nbsp;

Numerous comics have been released that changed the face of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dark-facts-about-diamond-distributors/jacob-shelton?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book industry</a>. One of these titles is Neil Gaiman&#39;s&nbsp;The Sandman. The series proved to be so popular that in 2018, Vertigo Comics unveiled four new ongoing series set within the same universe. Another influential comic to come out of the company is&nbsp;Y: The Last Man,&nbsp;which had over 60 issues published at Vertigo.&nbsp;

Many properties from the Vertigo comics library have been developed into TV shows and movies over the years. No matter where you know Vertigo from, you likely know at least some of their comics. With this list, you can vote up your favorites, so other comic lovers know what they need to check out next.&nbsp;

Comics can be complicated. There are an infinite number of universes in the DC Multiverse &quot;Orrery of Worlds,&quot; with a core of 52 worlds in the &quot;local universe.&quot; With over a half-dozen more worlds in the Dark Multiverse, that&#39;s 60 known worlds in the Multiversity. It can be difficult to keep track of what Earth is what, so we&#39;ve put together this list of the key inhabitants of each DC Comics Multiverse Earth and what defines it from all the other Earths.

Back in the original DC&#39;s Multiverse there were well over a hundred Earths and parallel universes, each with its own version of DC Comics&#39; familiar heroes. Want a Superman who was raised by apes instead of Ma and Pa Kent? Pre-Crisis Earth-183 is for you. With so many worlds and so many storylines, it was a little overwhelming to know what was canon.

In 2007 they tried cleaning things up and streamlined all the places in the old, <a href="/list/cw-crisis-on-infinite-earths-info-air-time/jacob-bryant" target="_blank">pre-Crisis storyline</a> down to 52 Earths (with a couple of spots like Limbo and the Antimatter Universe thrown in for good measure). Things still weren&#39;t as tidy as they&#39;d like (even though it was still more organized than <a href="/list/main-timelines-marvel-universe/ranker-comics" target="_blank">Marvel&#39;s universes</a>) and in 2011, with help from Flash and the always volatile speedforce, DC created the New 52 from <a href="/list/flashpoint-crossover-comic-explained/stephanroget" target="_blank">Flashpoint</a>, an event that basically destroyed and remade all the universes. It even let them have canon versions of other publisher&#39;s properties, like the Marvel Comics on Earth-7 and Earth-8 and Stan Lee&#39;s Just Imagine... miniseries on Earth-6.

It does seem like DC is finally satisfied with their current array of Earths, even though <a href="/list/best-arrowverse-shows/ranker-tv" target="_blank">the Arrowverse uses it&#39;s own slightly different collection of universes</a>.

DCEU

Who are the&nbsp;strongest characters in the DCEU&nbsp;(<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-dceu-movies/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">DC Extended Universe</a>)? Here&#39;s where you get to decide. Below, you&#39;ll find a collection of characters from the world of DC&nbsp;along with a few stats that detail exactly who they are and what they can do. You&#39;ll find both heroes and villains alike who wield all manner of extraordinary powers.

From otherworldly beings such as Superman to regular guys with really cool trinkets, whose bad side would you least like to end up on?&nbsp;Whether they&#39;re good, evil, or somewhere in between, let the world know which are your picks for the most powerful&nbsp;DC characters of all time!

Robbing a bank in a colorful costume isn&#39;t the behavior of a model citizen, but it doesn&#39;t hold a candle to the worst things the DC villains have ever done. Ever since comic books started to mature in a post-Watchmen world, the villains have gotten a whole lot scarier. Whether it&#39;s <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/awful-batman-villain-acts/jacobybancroft" target="_blank">brutalizing a loved one</a> or destroying a planet, the list of their collective misdeeds is pretty bleak.&nbsp;

If you stopped reading comic books when you were a kid&nbsp;and Batman was still wearing blue, you&#39;re in for quite a ride. Follow along and vote up the acts of evil that you think go&nbsp;above and beyond.&nbsp;

Deathstroke

Deathstroke the Terminator is a fictional supervillain, and sometimes antihero, who appears in comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. He is a mercenary and assassin who first appeared in The New Teen Titans #2. Wizard magazine rated him the 24th greatest villain of all time and the 32nd greatest comic book character of all time. Also, in 2009, Deathstroke was ranked as IGN's 32nd greatest comic book villain of all time.
Originally a villain for the Teen Titans, writers have developed him over the years as an antagonist for the older heroes Batman and Green Arrow as well, establishing parallels between him and Batman and a deep-seated grudge between him and Green Arrow. His role as a villain for Batman and Green Arrow is reflected by his prominence in Batman video games and animated films, and in the Arrow television series.
