So, considering last time out we looked at DC’s greatest heroes, let’s be utterly predictable and this week look at DC’s greatest villains. And as with last time, it is utterly predictable who is going to win: it’s Joker, with Darkseid and Lex Luthor rounding out the top 3. However, after that trio, I really don’t know who will make the top 10 this time. I’ve got some good predictions, they’re our starting 10, but I’m looking forward to seeing a lot more names added. I mean, you can make a seperate top 10 just out of Batman villains and still leave out some amazing candidates so there’d better be some good names added when considering we’ve also got The Flash, Superman and Green Lantern’s top tier rogues galleries and that’s before we get to Teen Titans, Wonder Woman, The Legion Of Superheroes and Justice League amongst the many, many others.
Anyway, as usual, you can add your own answers once per day and vote for as many entries as you want, again once per day, poll closes a week on Friday (Oct 18th).

So a trailer dropped yesterday that I have to talk about. I’m talking of course, about Picard.
Not a bad turnout this week, and lots of imagination on display.
In second place we have a tie between Kellkin’s Lonewolf …
…and AtomicPunk’s Bigtop. Great job AP! I particularly like the catch phrase.
And the win this week goes to…

So, in our last poll we asked the question: “who is DC’s greatest superhero” and I made some predictions as to what the line up would be. Unfortunately Aquaman let me down, getting bumped into 11th place and thus ruining my clean sweep, but that’s ok, it saves you all from the numerous sea based puns I had planned for his entry. Also, I’m going to put the surprisingly large gap in voter participation between this and the Marvel version (over 100 votes less for DC than Marvel) down to the predictability of the result, but we still have a list, so let’s get to it.
Hon Mentions: Aquaman (Arthur Curry), The Flash (Wally West), Rorschach (Walter Joseph Kovacs)
