 To check out the other posts in the series you can find the links at the bottom.
Okay so the list of villains for this post is: The Riddler, Raz al Guhl, Bane and the Penguin. These guys were left out of the first part to create a more dynamic and diverse selection at the end. Okay so here we go

The Riddler
Edward Nigma is a genius whose obsession with riddles makes him one of the most theatrical Batman villains of all time. Giving a riddle to his victims, in which getting it wrong means instant death (the fate which happens to most of the unfortunate people the Riddle comes into contact with).Riddler isn’t really the type of person to use guns or go in a fist fight but he does have his custom made ‘?’ cane which he can use to beat his victims if he so chooses. The cane can also be used for setting off his traps if Batman gets to close.

Raz al Guhl
Leader of the league of shadows and master of several martial art techniques means that Raz al Guhl is probably the most deadly fighter that Batman has ever come across. Raz al Guhl was also Batman’s mentor, training him, improving his fighting technique and increasing Bruce Wayne’s potential to fight crime. This proves a real problem for the dark knight because R.A.G knows Batman’s moveset and will possibly be able to predict his offensive attack. Raz al Guhl also has a serious hatred for crime which is shown in both the comics and the first and last films in the Dark Knight series. This hatred will prove very useful in the fights against the other competitors in this series.

                                                          Penguin
Penguin is a mob boss through and through, just with added psychosis to help him achieve his extreme goals with an ‘any means necessary’ attitude. He is extremely ruthless and an unforgiving person as if you fail him you are likely to get killed. Wielding nothing more than a gun and his ‘special’ umbrella, Penguin is the type of person who doesn’t and will just kill you now just to get you out of the way rather than interrogating his victims first.

Bane
A venom fuelled behemoth with amazing strength that even Killer Croc was overpowered by. The venom turns Bane into a monster with destruction on his mind, be it people or places. All though juiced up with venom, Bane is also intelligent which helps him in fight situations. Bane wields nothing more than his fists as he needs no other weapon, showing you how strong he is. Finally Bane will always be known as the man(/monster) who ‘broke the bat
FIGHT 1 The Riddler VS Raz al Guhl
In a random encounter with no previous preparation the Raz al Guhl would be able to slice The Riddler into two almost instantly. However if it were a planned scenario with The Riddler setting traps then he would have a much needed advantage of the leader of the League of Shadows. All though these riddles and traps would prove to be a much harder task for Raz al Guhl, he would still be able to pass them all, running his blade through the chest of The Riddler. WINNER: Raz al Guhl.

FIGHT 2: Bane VS The Penguin
This fight would just be the pure strength of Bane against the sheer aggressiveness of The Penguin. Although Penguin would fire shot after shot into the rampaging Bane, Penguin wouldn’t be able to stop the leviathan from charging at him. Bane would easily lift and throw The Penguin through a wall, severely crippling him. WINNER: BANE
FINAL FIGHT: Raz al Guhl VS Bane
It would be a student vs teacher fight to the death between these two, Raz al Guhl would have speed on his side where as Bane would obviously have the strength advantage over his enemy. Hitting Bane with multiple kicks, punches and sword strikes, Raz al Guhl would be able to slow the venom induced beast down but not be able to stop him. Bane would be able to grab his former master and break him into two just like he did with Batman. Raz al Guhl wouldn’t die but a little trip to a Lazarus pit may be in order.
WINNER: BANE

Greatest Comic Book Villains Ever Series- Batman Pt. 1



Ok so in this post we will be looking at the first bunch of DC villains and I thought what better comic to look at? Also helps that these are my favourite comics. Because there are so many potential winners from these comics that is going to be done in two parts with part 2 being uploaded a couple of days after this one. Okay so the list of villains for part one is: The Joker, Two-Face, Hush and Mr Freeze.

The Joker
The Joker is without question Batman’s greatest enemy of all time, attacking and killing people close to him. For example, Joker beat the crap out of the original Robin killing him as well as shooting and paralysing Barbara Gordon (Batgirl/Oracle). The Jokers insanity, along with a variety of weapons, mean you can never predict The Joker  as well as never knowing when or how he is going to kill someone. His obsession with Batman and destruction makes The Joker extremely dangerous to anyone who comes into contact with. Also The Joker is known to manipulate people, including other super villains, to get what he wants as well as giving him the edge in a fight.

Two-Face
A bipolar schizophrenic who is obsessed with his two faced coin, of which he cannot function or live without. Using his coin to determine the fate of his enemies Two-Face can use it to determine methods of killing as opposed to just whether or not he could kill someone. Two-Face’s previous experience as district attorney means that her is very influential, amassing a massive gang to take down his rivals.

Hush
Hush is obsessed with Bruce Wayne rather than Batman which is unlike most of the other villains in the book. So obsessed in fact that he removed his own face and grafted on a new one, just to look exactly like Bruce. His excellent surgical skills along with his dual-pistols means that Hush could kill you in a number of ways including torture in the form of removing the victims face whilst still conscious. His bandaged head is also used to install fear into his victims.



Mr Freeze
Mr Freeze is a man who turned to crime in order to save the love of his life Nora. If her safety is threatened in anyway at all, Freeze will go on a rampage looking for the accused. Wielding an ice cannon, which can freeze anything on the spot, as well as his special cooling suit with additional weaponry, make Mr Freeze a dangerous foe indeed.  To get him into the fight Nora would have to be taken and her resurrection would be his prize.

FIGHT 1:Joker VS Mr Freeze
Okay so the Joker has the speed advantage where as Freeze has the power along with the dangerous ice cannon. Joker has an arsenal of different weaponry though which could cause serious damage to Mr Freeze. All though his Joker venom would have no effect on Freeze, due to him being inside a suit, his other weapons could cause serious damage to Freeze, shutting down his suit and causing him to die.
WINNER: Joker

FIGHT 2:Hush VS Two-Face
Both wield pistols and would have an excellent stand-off. Maybe Hush would have the psychological edge over Two-Face if he made references about healing his scarred face, but that might not really bother Two-Face. A close quarter combat would lead to Two-Face being defeated in the fight and subsequently be executed. 
WINNER: Hush

FINAL FIGHT: Joker VS Hush 
Both of these villains can actually carry themselves in a fist fight with both having different styles. Hush more aggressive as opposed to The Joker who has a more flamboyant style. Joker would probably try to psych Hush out with his erratic behaviour, causing Hush to be distracted and that is when the Joker will get the killer blow.

WINNER: JOKER

Greatest Comic Book Villain Ever Series-Spiderman



All right so last night I was thinking about who the greatest Comic Book villain was in the history of Comics and decided to come up with a series of posts eliminating those who do not make the grade. This series includes both Marvel and DC comics as well as Todd McFarlane’s Spawn.
So this first blog is about the villains of Spiderman. My choices to review are; Venom , Carnage, Green Goblin and Dr Octopus.

Venom


A symbiotic life form that arrived from a different planet. The symbiote venom turns who ever it is joined to into a violent person , robbing their humanity and this makes me them more dangerous than ever. Latching onto Eddie Brock, the dangerous Venom is effectively a stronger and faster version than Spiderman.This could be due to the alien life form but it could also be due to the fact that Brock has for Peter Parker.Venom is cold and calculating, luring in his victims, including Spiderman, in an attempt to kill him.

Carnage

Like with Venom, Carnage is also a symbiote which latches onto the crazy and deranged  serial killer Cletus Kassidy. With his previous mental instability, Carnage is the most unpredictable, violent and dangerous Spiderman villains ever.He has similar abilities to both Spiderman and Venom but his erratic behaviour, along with his desire for killing, makes the villain one of the most dangerous in the whole of the marvel universe.  

Green Goblin

Norman Oscorp was a brilliant scientist who owned Oscorp Industries. He injected himself with a special formula in order to become stronger, faster and have an increase in stamina.  The only problem is that the serum turned him extremely aggressive as well as being insane. Green Goblin took out a personal vendetta against  Spiderman  and even kidnapped Peter Parker's child. The most dangerous thing though is that the original Green Goblin inspired others to follow his footsteps like his son Harry as well as inspiring the many incarnations of Hobgoblin.

Dr Octopus

Octo Octavius was another brilliant scientist until his experiment went wrong. 4 metal arms were fused to his body and are controlled by the doctors mind. The mechanical arms increase the speed and strength of Octavius whilst wielding them pin point accuracy. The arms have been upgraded over the years to do various tasks like shooting lasers etc.

FIGHT 1:  Venom vs Green Goblin
Although  the Green Goblin has a number of weapons in his arsenal I believe that Venom would take advantage and make the kill due to his symbiotic speed and ruthlessness.
WINNER: VENOM

FIGHT 2: Carnage vs Doctor Octopus
All though the mechanical arms of Doc Ock would do some serious damage to Carnage, I think that the deranged mind of Carnage would somehow find a way of tearing off the metal attachments of Doctor Octopus and eventually causing his death.
WINNER: CARNAGE

FINAL FIGHT: Venom vs Carnage
Although both villains are symbiotes I believe that Carnage would have the upper hand due to the completely  deranged and violent mind of Kassidy. Venom would put up a good fight but I see this turning out like the comics with Carnage on top.

Winner of the Spiderman Villain heats:

CARNAGE
