Top Five Villains in Media History


There are a few things that are incredibly hard to pull off in Hollywood. First, making a good move with Rob Schneider. Second, finding an actress that hasn't gone to see Dr. 90210. Lastly, being able play a supervillain flawlessly. I have compiled a list of what I believe to be the top performances of supervillains in the television and movies industries over the past 50 years.

1. Michael Rosenbaum - Lex Luthor in "Smallville" (2001-Present)

2. Cillian Murphy - ScareCrow in "Batman Begins" (2005)


3. Terrence Stamp -General Zod in "Superman 2" (1980)


4. (tie) Jack Nicholson - The Joker in "Batman" (1989)





Willem DaFoe - Green Goblin in "Spiderman" (2002)





5. (tie) Burgess Meredeth - The Penguin in "Batman" (1966)
Ceser Romero - The Joker in "Batman" (1966)
Frank Gorshin - The Riddler in "Batman" (1966)




Honorable Mention goes to Heath Ledger as the Joker in this summer's "The Dark Knight". Even the trailer make him look like the best supervillain EVER. I will reserve judgment until after the release though. Holllywood lost a terrific actor in Mr. Ledger. If you haven't seen any of these
movies, you must, and if you disagree, or
believe I've overlooked anyone, let me know. Until next time, same Otter-Time, same Otter-Website...
