In his public identity, he is Bruce Wayne, a billionaire industrialist and notorious playboy. Although he has no superhuman abilities, he is one of the world's smartest men and greatest fighters. His physical prowess, technical ingenuity, and tactical thinking make him an incredibly dangerous opponent. He was also a founding member of the Justice League.

  • The Joker: The Joker is a homicidal maniac and the arch-nemesis of Batman. Though his precise origin is unknown even to him, he is known to have been forced to swim through a vat of chemicals which turned his skin white, his hair green and left his face permanently locked in a rictus grin.

  • The Riddler: Edward Nigma, Edward Nashton, or Edward Nygma, also known as The Riddler, is a super-villain enemy of Batman who commits crimes revolving around an obsession with riddles. His mental psychosis results in a deep inner need to prove that he's smarter and therefore better than others, which causes him to leave behind clues in otherwise perfect crimes.
