IMO these two legends have by far the best villans of any super heros. Batman's foes include The Joker, Riddler, Bane, Two Face, Clayface and Mr. Freeze while Spidey has Green Goblin, Doc Oc, Electro, Kraven The Hunter, Carnage and Venom. My question is who's rogue gallery is better? This is a tough call and I'm unsure. I'd say Joker is the overall best villan while Spiderman has the better over all bad guys. This opinion is subject to change as I find this a very difficult question to answer! What's your opinion?

Yeah, I agree with you that Joker is overall the best villain but Spider-Man has the better and more interesting rogue gallery.

Green Goblin
Hobgoblin
Doctor Octopus
The Lizard
The Sandman
Mysterio
Kraven the Hunter
Paul Giamatti
The Kingpin
Venom
Carnage
Morbius
Scorpion
Chameleon
The Jackal
Hydro-Man
Shocker
Vulture
Boomerang

Oh, I thought they each owned a gallery with a red wall and carpet. I thought maybe a rouge gallery was a thing some folks had these days. I can imagine Batman hanging his foes (the actual villains) from the wall and I can see Peter Parker with an arts gallery about supervillains. Now I'm sort of bummed out that this thread seems to be about makeup.

Batman easily.

The Joker; Ra's al Ghul, Talia al Ghul, Two-Face, The Mad Hatter, Scarecrow, The Black Glove, The Club of Villains, The Riddler, Prometheus, The Tally Man, Clayface, Mister Zsasz, The Calculator, Philo Zeiss, Mister Freeze, Rupert Thorne, Harley Quinn, Killer Croc, Hugo Strange, Tweedledum and Tweedledee,The Black Spider, The Penguin, The Riddler, Bane, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Mr. Freeze...
 
I'd have to go with Batman here. No gallery compares to Batman's, not by a long shot.

Spiderman comes in 2nd without a doubt though. Then the x-men. It's a long way down to #4 after that.
 
Batman easily. No one has the same array of villains that are all classic like him. Joker, Two-Face, Catwoman (sort of), Scarecrow, Ra's Al Ghul (spelling?), Bane, the list goes on. Outside of Green Goblin and Dr. Octopus, I think most casual fans would have a tough time naming any other Spiderman villains.
 
I would go with spider man.In addition,any actor that has played a spidey villain in the films pretty much deliver.
Green Goblin:Wilem Dafoe
Doc Oc:Alfred Molina
Sandman:T.h. church.the downside of sandman is that he reminded me waay too much of the mummy movie.Furthermore,he didn't have very much to work with in terms of dialogue.
The villains I would discount would be Topher Grace as venom.

Batman,well,the villain that stands out is joker.Two face is okay(im only going by the cartoon and movies.Didn't keep up with the comics much).Rahs Al gul,pretty good.As for villian portrayals, Nicholson's joker was good,but heath knocked it out of the park.The others...ouch:
Mr. Freeze:The governator
Riddler:Carrey
Two Face:I blame carrey for reeling in TLJ hammy acting,but Eckhart did pretty good.
Penguin:over the top devito
Bane:Ima stop,cringing already.Hardy did it better.

So imo Spidey has better rogue villians and better villians portrayed on film.
 
Great question, can't say either is significantly better than the other.

I think I'll go with Batman since a lot of them like the Mad Hatter and Scarecrow make for some interesting scenarios. Also, as far as I know Batman has a hotter rogue gallery with Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, and Talia Al Ghul.

Gotta say I agree with this quite a bit.

Spidey, and it's not even close.

For a start, with the exception of Killer Croc, Bane and the KGBeast(one of my favorite Super Villains of all time)most of Bat's enemies are pencil-necks like the Joker or Scarecrow. Dangerous because they are insane and cunning yes, but physically unimpressive.
 
guys its not even close thanks to recent events comic wise
One of spidermans villans has actualy killed him and now seems set to fuck his girlfriend.......makes banes back breaking or joker killing another robin seem tame when ya think about it
