Villians, "Fab Four" and more

[BatmanFan102]

I think it is generally agreed upon by all fans of the "Batman" television series from 1966-68 that the top four villains are Joker, Penguin, Catwoman and Riddler.

I have 2 exercises for you, my friends, to do on this post.

The first is, which 4 are the next "fab 4" of villains? I'm basing this solely off of the villains featured on the live-action TV series only. The only requirement is that there are 3 males and 1 female, keeping with the same ratio as Joker, Penguin, Catwoman & Riddler.

For me I'd select King Tut, Mr. Freeze, Siren and False Face. I had considered Egghead, but he ended up being too much of a wuss to make the list.

Now, the second exercise is to make an unfabulous four. The four WORST/weakest villains, again with 3 males and 1 female...

Mine are - Chandel, Minstrel, Lola Lasagne and Colonel Gumm.

Minerva, Archer, Dr Cassandra's Husband (so inconsequential I forgot his name), Lord Fogg.

[Lord Death Man]

The next 'fab four'-Mad Hatter, Shame, Bookworm, and Black Widow

The 'bottom feeders'-Chandell, Colonel Gumm, Sandman...I am torn between Marsha and Siren, but I suppose Siren gets the nod

Mister Freeze, King Tut, Mad Hatter and Black Widow.
2nd to that Shame, Bookworm, Flase Face, Zelda

Bottom four? Wow that's hard. LOT of bad: Louie, Sandman, Archer and Minerva

[Pengy]

Fab Four: Mr. Freeze, King Tut, The Mad Hatter, The Siren

Bottom Four: Nora Clavicle, Lord Fog, Louie the Lilac, Colonel Gumm

[TBolt]

Tut, Hatter, Zelda and Shame
3rd tier: Egghead, Falseface, Olga and Bookworm

unfab Puzzler, Lord Ffogg, Nora Clavicle, Cabala

For me I'd select King Tut, Mr. Freeze, Siren and False Face. I had considered Egghead, but he ended up being too much of a wuss to make the list.

I have to agree with your "B" team Fab Four list--only if Freeze is the Sanders version.

Now, the second exercise is to make an unfabulous four. The four WORST/weakest villains, again with 3 males and 1 female...

Mine are - Chandel, Minstrel, Lola Lasagne and Colonel Gumm.

Unfabulous Four: Minerva, Puzzler, Chandel and Archer. Dry or ridiculous characters--even for this version of Batman.

Egghead---great premise and interesting visually

The Siren---the only other impressive villainesses are Marsha and Nora Clavicle, the latter wouldn't want to team up with any group with men in it. Since The Siren was only in one episode, she's in.

You've got brains and seduction, you now need some kind of physical threat of some sort. Maybe Shame. I' guess I'll go with:

Mr. Freeze---Preminger version so his suit keeps him cool and he's got the physical threat of his freeze gun.

False Face---his deceptive quick change skills are different from every one else in the group.

Egghead, The Siren, Mr. Freeze, False Face.

For worst:

Col. Gumm, Evol Ekdal, Lola Lasagne, The Archer.

Would go with Siren, King Tut, Bookworm and Minstrel as my second four. I think Siren and Tut would have fun commenting on each other's clothing style and I believe Minstrel was very underrated.

Bottom four: Olga, Ffogg, Chandell, Archer.
