Great Rogues Galleries Are Not Only For Superheroes
In comic books, the collective name for a group of villains is a rogues gallery. The term dates back 1855 when police would call a collection of criminal photos their rogues’ galleries. But this idea isn’t just for comics or police; so many movies and TVs contain a notable gang of baddies. Behind every great hero is a group of villains trying to kill them!
Below is a collection of the best rogues galleries in pop culture history.
Honorable Mentions:
Scooby Doo (Creeper, Ghost of Redbeard, Witch Doctor, Black Knight)
Darkwing Duck (NegaDuck, Beagle Boys, Fearsome Five, Magica De Spell)
Superman (Lex Luthor, Doomsday, Metallo, Zod, Brainiac)
1Batman
(EXAMPLE: The Joker, Penguin, Two-Face, Catwoman, Black Mask, Deathstroke)
No matter if it was comic books or all popular culture, Batman’s villains are the most famous. The Joker alone is grand enough to place The Dark Knight at the top of this list. While fellow DC hero The Flash dubbed his villains a “rogues gallery” first, these residents of Arkham Asylum are the worst baddies around.
