Pacino as Big Boy in Dick Tracy is good.
Rockwell as Hammer.
Ledger and Hamill as Joker.
Weaving as Red Skull.

Ohohohoho, I forgot about him but yeah, he's great. Best part of the movie.

Timothy Dalton in The Rocketeer is also great.

Optimus Prime is the best villain in any TF film.

Stanley Tucci is the best everything of all TF films despite only being in the last one (and forthcoming one).

I would pay for a fan edit of Age of Extinction that is only scenes where Tucci is in.

I mean, Ledger's Joker, Hiddleston's Loki, and McKellen's Magneto are pretty much the high water mark for supervillains.

Both Ledger and Nicholsons Joker. I also like Murphy as Scarecrow.
Catwoman from Batman returns was perfect too.

I tend to like the TV villains better than the movie villains. I'll argue to anyone in favor of Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell as Captain Cold and Heatwave, either as villains or antiheroes, Manu Bennett as Deathstroke, Neal McDonough as Damien Darkh, and both Tom Cavanaugh and Matt Letscher as Reverse Flash. Even before I gave up on Agents of SHIELD, Kyle McLachlan was amazing as a scenery-chewing, somewhat-sympathetic Mr. Hyde. And that's not even getting into the perfection of Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin or David Tennant as Purple Man.

But I'll agree with McKellen's Magneto, Dafoe's Norman Osborn (but his Green Goblin was awful), Rockwell's Justin Hammer (I definitely want more of him), and Bruhl's Zemo (him too).

Honestly I would say the Netflix stuff went 4/4 with good villains. Kingpin, Purple Man, and Cottonmouth are all great. The Meechums are good also, but to a lesser degree.

Uh, there were more than 4 villains in the Netflix shows though. Madam Gao and Diamondback ring any bells? So more like 4/6.

There were even more than that, but I consider those 4 to be the main guys. I also left out Nobu, Punisher, Nuke, unmemorable Hand guy from Iron Fist, and probably a few others.

And I quite liked Gao, so even by your metric, I'd say 5/6.

Who does everyone think the best superhero movie villains are? I like Terrance Stamp as Zod a whole lot, of course. As far as post-Batman '89 movies go, I think my favourite is Alfred Molina in Spider-Man 2.

Nicholson's Joker is pretty drat good.

Drunken Master for the win. I still wish that actor had been cast as Iron Fist in the first place.

I actually liked Ultron, his voice was really menacing. Hammer from Iron Man 2 was really fun, too.

Tom Hardy's Bane came off as trying too hard, but I enjoyed him.

The best thing about Tom Hardy's Bane was the bit in South Park with his mask, and then Lego Batman deciding to use that same voice and have all the lines made that much more funny because of it.

"Surprise, muthafucka."
Gonna mention some CBM villains that haven't been mentioned:

Matthew Goode was a respectable Ozymandias.
John Hurt was great as Cotys in that 2014 Hercules movie based on the comic.
Tim Roth wasn't bad as Blonsky in Incredible Hulk.
(You're gonna laugh at this one) Armand Assante as Rico Dredd in Stallone's Judge Dredd.
Christopher Walken as Max Shreck in Batman Returns.
Liam Neeson as Ra's in Begins.
Brian Cox as Stryker in X2.
Ron goddamned Silver in Timecop.


And I'll just go ahead and echo Nicholson, Ledger, Defoe, Michael Shannon, Terrence Stamp, Ron Perlman, Alfered Molina, DeVito, Sam Rockwell, James Spader, Cillian Murphy, Ian McKellen, Pacino, and Aaron Eckhart.
