Top 10 Evil Versions of Batman Part 2 Hey everyone!
Welcome back to top 10 nerd.
I’m your host Kelly Paoli, and today we’re revisiting a recent list that you all dug
– the top 10 evil versions of Batman.
This list is our part two, and we’ll be exploring some more of the evil versions of
Bats that are popping out of the Dark Multiverse, along with some other sinister classics that
you may be familiar with.
So without further hesitation, let’s jump in!
10 Bizarro-Batman From Worlds Finest #156 in 1966, Bizarro-Batman
is not an inherently evil creature.
Rather, his bizarro state is the reason behind why his actions appear to be sinister; everything
is reversed in his world, so he genuinely believes what he’s doing is right.
Created by Bizarro No 1 in order to copy the Superman-Batman team up we see in Worlds Finest,
Bizarro Bats and Bizarro attempted to transform our earth into a Bizarro World, but failed.
He sees the regular Batman as a vandal.
Note that tis Bizzarro version of Bats was removed from existence after Crisis on Infinite
Earths, and different less antagonist versions of Bizarro Bats have popped up since.
9 New 52 Earth 50 On Earth 50, Lex Luthor was president, and
had murdered the Flash.
The rest of the superheroes didn’t take this lightly.
Superman punished Luthor by death, and enforced a global police state that was to be maintained
by other super powered individuals, including Batman.
Known as the Justice Lords, this Batman was part of a tyrannical regime, but it’s all
a rouse.
Batman is secretly working to overthrow Superman and restore freedom to the planet.
So, all in all, not technically evil, but did some pretty evil things in order to maintain
his cover.
8 Earth 1191 The Vampire Batman alternate has popped up
multiple times throughout the years, the first instance he appears in in Batman & Dracula:
Red Rain.
And he’s another Batman who isn’t inherently evil; after fighting Dracula and getting bitten,
he turns into a vampire and fights off his bloodlust, eventually killing himself instead
of succumbing to it.
But goes a little insane while killing off his enemies.
A Batman that kills?
Still technically evil, right?
7 Batman Earth 43 Continuing with our look at the Vampire Batman,
the character reappeared again after the creation of the new multiverse, on Earth 43, and continued
to reside on Earth 43 after the new 52 continuity started up.
The difference?
Well, the initial Earth 43 Batman is significantly worse than the Earth 1191 version.
This Batman gives into his bloodlust, and not only kills criminals, but innocent people
too.
The New 52 Earth 43 Batman takes it a step further by infecting the rest of the justice
league, turning them into vamps, and recalling their group the Blood League.
6 Earth 8 Bat-Solider Moving into the morally ambiguous here, Bat-Solider
is a part of Monarch’s army when he invades Earth 51 and murders all of it’s retired
heroes.
It’s likely that when Monarch’s containment suit was ripped open and the universe was
destroyed that Bat-Solider died, along with many others.
5 Earth 51 Batman Speaking of Eartth 51, let’s look at the
flip side of that battle.
The Batman of Earth 51 was severely affected by Jason Todd’s death.
So much so that he killed the Joker, and then proceeded to go around murdering all of the
other DC villains, which inevitably ushered in a new age of peace,
despite breaking his code.
He eventually was killed by Ultraman.
4 The Murder Machine The first Dark Multiverse Batman on this list,
the Murder Machine is an amalgamation of Batman and Cyborg.
Originating from Earth-44, this Batman lost Alfred after Bane led several of the members
from his Rogue’s gallery into the Batcave.
Alfred was ambushed and murdered, and his death triggered Bruce to ask Cyborg for help;
Bruce revealed he had copied Alfred’s mind into a program, but needed assistance to create
an AI.
But this didn’t go over too well as it mutated into a virus, killed all of Batman’s enemies,
then fused with Bruce.
Bruce lost all of his humanity, his ability to suffer and experience fear, and loaded
him up with cybernetic enhancements.
3 Jason Todd’s Batman Jason Todd was initially introduced into the
world of Batman as his second ward, the second child superhero to become Robin, and the only
Robin to ever bite the dust.
He was brutally murdered by the Joker, after DC ran a ludicrous poll in which fans voted
for the character to be killed or be saved.
So, clearly, you can guess how well that went.
Anyway, after hes brought back to life, he becomes the Red Hood, but shortly after Batman
disappears, is assumed to be dead, and he, along with other Robins, embark in a conflict
during the Battle for the Cowl story arc in 2009, in which Jason takes up the mantle briefly,
fights Nightwing and shoots Damian Wayne, who is luckily saved by Alfred.
2 The Dawnbreaker On Earth -32, Bruce’s origins play out a
little differently.
After his parents are killed, he is chosen by a green ring to join the Green Lantern
corps.
So, filled with rage, he uses it to kill their murderer, Joe Chill, overriding the ring with
his will power.
At first he hunted criminals using brutal tactics, like lifting them up into outer space,
and this caused the GCPD to begin to question his methods.
So he killed James Gordon.
The Green Lantern corps then came to Earth to investigate but fell victim to the darkness
within his ring.
So Bruce abandoned his identity as both Bruce Wayne and a green lantern and adopted the
alias of Dawnbreaker.
1 The Drowned The Batman from Earth -11 is known as Bryce
Wayne, a woman who, out of revenge for the murder of her lover Slyverster Kyle, goes
on a crusade to kill every metahuman to avenge him.
After she successfully does this, Aquawoman returns from a self imposed exile.
Bryce doesn’t trust Aquawoman and her claims that her and Atlantis come in peace, which
results in Bryce invading Atlantis, killing Aquawoman, and Gotham City ultimately being
drowned in retaliation.
Bryce then performed surgical genetic procedures on herself in order to live under water, took
Aquawoman’s trident, and drowns the rest of the world.
Yep, pretty dark.
