Bit bored so here is a question. Who is your favorite Batman villain?

Mine is either the Riddler or the Scarecrow. The Riddler, when done right, is smarter or just as smart as the Bat, but limits himself by using riddles. The whole gimmick is he is trying to outsmart Batman with one arm behind his back, while leaving you to figure out his riddle while Batman does. One of the better mystery setups available in Gotham. As for the Scarecrow his power set is cool, although I am often disappointed in how he uses it. However most Batman villain’s when treated as serious threats are quite good, imo. So #2 often changes for me, but the Riddler is often, if not always, my favorite.

You and why?

Obviously snowflame, the cocaine-powered supervillain!
And then the Riddler.

Probably Rupert Thorne from Batman the animated series. I am not well versed in DC comics to give a proper judgement, and I don't like the way some of those villain were changed. Especially Joker. Joker from BTAS was fun, Nicholson was fun, everything else is not Joker. While Rupert stayed in BTAS and stayed a villain with clear and understandable motivation. There are no sobby backstories or tragic twists, dude is simply evil. Plus, back then Batman didn't have this ridicolous powercreep. Nowadays it leaves you scratching your head, guessing how there are still villains outside with all the technologies and money he has.

That’s why you try not to think too much.
