The 10 Lamest Batman Villains
Jul 12, 2025
Batman has some of the greatest villains in comic book history, but he also has some of the worst.
Gotham is filled with all manner of terrifying and cruel villains, but it’s also home to some of the biggest buffoons in DC Comics. For every Joker, there is a Polka-Dot Man who is trying (and failing) to defeat Batman. DC Comics’ Silver Age between 1956 and 1970 was especially well-known for creating campy villains that were complete jokes. Most of these ersatz villains have gimmicks that are either too silly or too useless to be serious threats to the Dark Knight. Every time they appear, you’re just waiting for Batman to knock their lights out with a single punch.
These are the ten most pathetic villains to have ever crawled out of Gotham’s criminal underworld.
10) Calendar Man
Julian Day, aka Calendar Man, commits crimes related to holidays and other significant dates. When he was introduced during the Silver Age, Julian would wear different types of suits based on the four seasons, such as a fire suit during the Summer. Aside from that, Julian’s primary costume was ridiculous, as he made a cape out of calendar pages. He quickly became a punching bag in the rogue’s gallery. However, he would undergo a significant upgrade in the story Batman: The Long Halloween, where he was portrayed as a disturbed serial killer with the months tattooed on his head. Despite this upgrade, he is still considered a joke in the criminal underworld and one of Batman’s less fearsome foes.
