this list we’re counting down the
characters who actually managed to knock
Batman down a peg or two
number 10 Talon a deadly enforcer for a
secret society known as the court of
owls this relative newcomer to Batman’s
rogues gallery also delivered one of the
Dark Knight’s most brutal defeats this
character is just one of many to carry
the mantle and serve as the courts
enforcer and executioner after waking up
into gigantic maze built by the court
Batman finds himself hunted by this
deadly foe as well as plagued by
nightmarish hallucinations and visions
brought on by drugs drinking water after
a severe beating and a sword through the
chest
Batman seemed to be out for the count he
does recover and barely manages to
defeat Talon and escaped with his life
number 9 the predator if you’re a deadly
alien hunter in search of the ultimate
prey and you happen to also be in the DC
Universe it’s a safe bet that Gotham
City will be one of your first ports of
call in this 1991 crossover the Dark
Knight and the title monster of the 1987
action film cross paths and it doesn’t
go well for Batman when they first meet
tracking a mysterious killer to a
scrapyard
Batman discovers to his shock that this
is no run-of-the-mill murderer and
almost loses his life in the battle
Batman eventually comes back for round 2
but not before some significant medical
attention
number 8 the mutant leader if you think
that Gotham City is a dangerous place
now you should see it in the future and
a not too distant Gotham is in worse
shape than ever prompting an aging
Batman to come out of retirement and
launch a no-holds-barred war on crime
this brings him face to face with the
hulking leader of the toughest gang in
town the mutants after attacking the
mutants head on Batman exchanges blows
with the unnamed leader and
overestimates his chances against the
younger opponent were not for the timely
intervention of Robin this nameless
juggernaut might have been the one to
put the Batman in the ground
number 7 Darkseid Batman’s mastery of
the martial arts keen strategic mind an
arsenal of gadgets allow him to square
off against all kinds of superhuman foes
but when it comes to characters who can
easily be classified as demigods there’s
only so much he can ultimately do to
avoid a quick and messy end in the
penultimate chapter of the epic final
crisis event Batman faces down the Lord
of apocalypse and the results aren’t
pretty
but despite seemingly being reduced to a
charred skeleton by the Darkseid’s Omega
beams that was eventually revealed that
Batman was thrown back in time allowing
him to eventually return number 6
Deathstroke this infamous villain is
considered one of the deadliest
combatants in the DC Universe and has
been a frequent flow for the Teen Titans
Green Arrow and Batman already an
incredibly skilled warrior the young
Slade Wilson was chosen for a secret
government experiment intended to create
super soldiers but rather than serve his
country Wilson went rogue and became a
mercenary for hire
he and Batman have duked it out multiple
times but as Slade Wilson said himself
he’s stronger faster and far more
vicious number 5 Rachael Ghul one of
Batman’s deadliest and oldest foes in
more ways than one this is one of
Batman’s deadliest enemies despite
appearing to only be middle-aged the
figure often called the demons head is
in fact over 600 years old and counting
thanks to regular baths in the
life-giving Lazarus pits his goal of
exterminating most of humanity has
caused him to cross swords with Batman
who we’ve used with equal parts wrath
and respect
despite mainly operating as a planner
and schemer he’s more than a physical
match for Batman who he once pummeled
into unconsciousness following a pitched
battle in the Swiss Alps number 4 Jason
Todd many years after the infamous death
of Robin storyline this character
eventually came back as an enemy to the
Dark Knight leading to an emotional
confrontation after being beaten to
death and blown to bits by the Joker
Batman’s second sidekick was resurrected
from the dead though it wasn’t an utter
beating Jason now under the moniker of
Red Hood did manage to best his former
mentor in combat which is no easy feat
the battle left Batman with some major
bruises and yet more issues to work
through
number 3 Superman who would win in a
fight between the Man of Steel and the
Dark Knight is one of the most hotly
debated topics in comics with some
claiming that Batman can be anyone with
enough prep time and yet others claiming
it isn’t even a contest when the
characters have fought it out in the
comics each character has emerged the
victor multiple times in the sacrifice
storyline
Superman is mind-controlled by Maxwell
Lord who manipulates the Man of Steel
into seeing his friends as enemies
mistaking Batman for his old nemesis
Darkseid Superman
quickly reduces Batman – a broken heat
before thankfully coming to his senses
number two the Joker there have been
times that Batman’s greatest nemesis has
beaten him in a straight-up fight but as
brutal as some of those defeats have
been they’re far from the most crushing
blows that the Clown Prince of Crime has
dealt to his sworn enemy time and time
again this villain has nearly brought
Batman to his knees by attacking those
closest to the Dark Knight sometimes
fatally and each time he’s pushed Batman
closer and closer to breaking has one
rule to never take a human life before
we unveil our top pick have a look at
these honorable mentions number one Bane
undeniably Batman’s most famous and
iconic defeat his fiery confrontation
with the venom and power brawler is one
of the most important moments in the
characters history after staging a
massive breakout at Arkham Asylum to
ensure that Batman is stretched to his
physical limit by cleaning up the
aftermath the luchador masked villain
finally squares off against his rival in
a confrontation that leaves Batman
paralyzed
Batman barely makes it out of the
encounter with his life and temporarily
bequeathed the Batman mantle to his ally
Azrael while he recovered
Batman eventually came back and settled
the score but this remains his most
