** "The Joining" [[Recap/TheBatmanS4E12TheJoiningPart1 two]]-[[Recap/TheBatmanS4E13TheJoiningPart2 parter]] & "Lost Heroes" [[Recap/TheBatmanS5E12LostHeroesPart1 two]]-[[Recap/TheBatmanS5E13LostHeroesPart2 parter]]: [[HiveMind The Joining]] is an [[AliensAreBastards alien race]] that makes a habit of destroying planets. Setting its sights on Earth after wiping out half the galaxy's planets, the Joining proves to be far more independent than it looks when it launches a [[AlienInvasion worldwide invasion]] by having its race attack several cities, all while bragging about its superiority. Foiled by Batman before it can launch a laser that would destroy the world, the Joining would later strike a deal with Hugo Strange to grant him knowledge of the universe if he neutralizes the Justice League, preparing to launch another global attack with nobody to stop it.

* [[BigRedDevil Trigon the Terrible]] fathered [[Characters/TeenTitans2003Raven Raven]] solely to have a human portal into the mortal realm, invade Earth, and destroy all life on it as he did Raven's homeworld of Azarath. Despite Raven's attempts to repress her powers and emotions to avoid this fate, [[ArchnemesisDad Trigon]] haunts her in visions, [[AbusiveParents emotionally abusing her]] in cruel attempts to break her will. Resurrecting Slade to serve as a proxy for his conquest, Trigon ultimately betrays Slade because he manipulated Raven into submitting willingly, incinerating him on the spot. His arrival heralds a HellOnEarth with human life petrified and desolation amok, and Trigon plots to [[OmnicidalManiac expand his destructive campaign to the rest of the universe]]. A conqueror and devil in one, Trigon torments the Titans with their dark sides for his own amusement and openly deems his daughter worthless.

* [[Characters/TeenTitans2003Slade Slade]] was a manipulative [[DiabolicalMastermind mastermind]] who sought an apprentice he could mold into being just as cruel and ruthless as him. First targeting [[Characters/TeenTitans2003Robin Robin]], Slade tested him with various schemes before infecting Robin's friends with [[{{Nanomachines}} nanobots]] that would destroy them from the inside out should Robin not follow Slade's every command. When his plans for Robin were thwarted, Slade switched to [[Characters/TeenTitans2003Terra Terra]], taking advantage of her as an outcast with uncontrollable powers. Slade got her into the Titans' ranks to betray and finally try to kill them. When Terra retreats after being overwhelmed, Slade [[WouldHitAGirl physically abuses her]] for defying his orders. When Terra tries to quit her apprenticeship, Slade reveals that the suit he gave her to enhance her powers also gave him complete control over her body and vowed to never let her go. Though dying when Terra rebels, he is eventually resurrected by Trigon to act as an aide in exchange for getting his soul back. Slade took a vicious pleasure stoking the ensuing apocalypse, [[MindRape mind raping]] Raven with visions of her destiny and selling out all of humanity to Trigon. Even when Slade rebels against Trigon, it is solely because he refused to honor their bargain.

* Year One

to:

* Year One''WesternAnimation/BatmanYearOne'': [[DirtyCop Commissioner Gillian Loeb]] is the ultimate representation of Gotham's [[WretchedHive corruption]]. Under Loeb's purview, crime runs rampant and crooked cops populate the streets, flooding the city with drugs while the police engage in routine [[PoliceBrutality brutality]] against even children to quell protests. When Batman begins disrupting Loeb's criminal enterprises, the latter corners the hero in a derelict building and firebombs it with no care for the homeless people inside who burn alive; citizens note this kind of [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill overkill]] is par for the course for Loeb's administration. In his attempts to silence Gordon's investigations into his corrupt ways, Loeb has the man viciously beaten; threatens his pregnant wife; and works with Carmine Falcone to kidnap Gordon's wife and newborn baby to use as hostages and, eventually, kill them all to silence them.

* Year One
* ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns The Dark Knight Returns]]'':
** Part 1: The [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership Mutant Leader]] is a vicious gang boss who uses his "mutants" to terrorize Gotham City [[ForTheEvulz for the sheer sake of violence]]. Having his mutant gang commit all sorts of massacres, slayings, and crimes across Gotham, the Mutant Leader eventually has his men begin kidnapping young children for ransom, then brutally [[WouldHurtAChild murder the kids]] even when the ransoms are paid. The Mutant Leader's ultimate plan is to march on Gotham and kill countless people in a quest to [[OffWithHisHead decapitate]] Commissioner James Gordon and [[DecapitationPresentation parade his head through the streets]]. When captured by Batman, the Leader responds by ordering his mutants to raze the entirety of Gotham to the ground while he personally tears out the throat of the city's mayor when he tries to negotiate peace talks with the Leader.
** Part 2: [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker]] is Batman's [[ArchEnemy greatest nemesis]], already a mass murderer responsible for the deaths of over 600 people before he fell into a catatonic state with the Dark Knight's retirement. Awakening after his obsession returns to disband the mutants, the Joker manipulates his way onto a popular talk show where he proceeds to murder his psychologist on live television before [[DeadlyGas gassing]] the entire audience, agonizingly killing over 200 people with his deadly Joker Venom. After brainwashing a Congressman to his death, the Joker attacks the Gotham fair, where he has his minions attempt to bomb a roller coaster ride when Batman arrives. The Joker delights in causing wanton violence as Batman gives chase, from assaulting random people to taking a teenage girl and a young boy hostage, before escalating to simply shooting whomever he comes across. When his horrific massacres drive Batman to partially snap his neck in a rage, the Joker merely delights in how they'll meet again in Hell and [[SpitefulSuicide finishes the job himself]], laughing all the while over [[ThanatosGambit how the authorities will kill the Dark Knight for his "murder"]].

Failing in this, Eshu goes on a city-wide rampage in a fit of homicidal rage, [[PlayingWithFire burning down]] a massive portion of Detroit in an effort to draw Mari out.
