Mr freeze, killer croc, posion ivy, clayface. He as so many villains that are so underrated and what makes them so interesting is they all pose a threat against batman because he is only human he has to out smart and out tactic his way especially someone like poison ivy where the characters that try to take away his brain is more interesting to me then some of spider-man villains IMHO.
