Do top 10 Batman beyond villains

Your number 1 choice, of course.

Jigsaw playing dead in saw.

How come Simon Gruber is on your list while his brother Hans is not? His scheme to pose as a terrorist and fool the FBI was brilliant. Shame on you!

His genius IS frightening

Not really when compared to villains like Joker and of course the ultimate baddie Megatron (the ones voiced by the king Frank Welker, the rest are not as smart and kinda annoying). I mean, palpatine left a giant weakness open and unguarded, that’s not something would slip by Megatron. Of course Hannibal’s Lector is a genius in his own right, villains have been copying him and his work for years.

Good. Good.

@@Rosewolf29 he really didn’t, if you’re referring to the Death Star. As we know now from Rogue One, the Rebels had to lose A LOT of guys to get the information of where the vulnerability was. And even when they managed to find it, it was a literal one-in-a-million shot. The Rebels would never have found that the exhaust port was the weakness if they hadn’t gotten the plans. Then, the odds of someone actually making that shot was near-impossible. Getting past the turrets, making it down the trench without getting shot, and then actually getting the torpedoes down the shaft and get out; the odds of that were nigh-impossible with Luke only pulling it off because he had the Force. And that’s not even counting the brilliance of his plan for creating the Empire and taking over the galaxy. He spent decades manipulating the Republic, slowly but surely destroying and corrupting it and the Jedi from within, fomenting a Galactic civil war (the Clone Wars) which he played both sides of and manipulated to give himself Supreme executive power. He had a masterful plan that the Jedi were unable to stop. And then he managed to succeed in seducing the Chosen One. He spent years twisting and manipulating Anakin, turning him into his apprentice. He stole the Messiah from his religion and used him to destroy it. Palpatine a was genius; I can’t think of the Joker or Megatron pulling off any sort of plan that comes even close to the scale and success of Palpatine’s for conquering the galaxy

Too bad he became too sure of himself after he conquered the galaxy. Creating the Death Star only caused more people to rebel against him and it was pretty stupid of him to let the rebels know the location of the shield generator before the second Death Star finished construction. So ironically the Empire's greatest achievement was its doom. Instead of building Death Stars, Palpatine should have used his resources to mass-produce the TIE Defender and maximize production of Star Destroyers.

Except for one big problem: The Death Star. He poured too many assets into one resource, and not only that but failed to learn from his mistake and tried to build a second one. The smart play would be to build a fleet of super star destroyers instead. You still have the capability of carpet bombing a planet into oblivion, like Mandalore, and you can spread out your assets to cover more ground. I mean a fleet of 100 super star destroyers suddenly popping out of hyperspace in orbit and completely blockading the planet would be more devastating than seeing the death star cresting the horizon. At least that way people on the far side of the planet have a chance to evacuate. But if the globe were instantly surrounded by capital ships? Forget about it. Global extinction.

@@adamb89 In the pre Disney stuff, that was why Thrawn had been banished to the Unknown Region. He disagreed about the death star and argued what you said, that a fleet of destroyers would be more effective. But the Emperor wanted his superweapon.

@@prussianpolydactyl836 and then alas he got all super star destroyers in the rise of skywalker and that was somehow worse than death star damn that movie was terrible

@@totterdell There is nothing called "Rise of Skywalker." You must be mistaken.

@@adamb89 lol yes true my mistake there's only one trilogy 👍

Palpatine definitely knew how to play the long game.

@@dieseljester3466 amen

All while haveing contingencys upon contingencys for every possible situation and haveing the ability to react on the fly to keep everything going they way hè wants

And on top of that, he stole the Chosen One from the Jedi. He basically stole that religion’s Messiah and used him to destroy it

Gianni Colamatteo the only thing he didn't have a contingency plan for was his apprentice turning on him (which when you think about it seems a little odd since that is basically status quo for the Sith)

@@3SailorMartin if you watch the clone wars and the bad batch it expands on his schemes, hes allways 3 steps ahead of everyone, plus the reason hè had a contigency for a traitorous apprentice is because e wants to get rid of the "rule of two " And replace it with his "rule of one", ie make it so hè is the one true Sith forever, thats why hes been cloning himself trying to make himself immortal

@@3SailorMartin He actually did when you consider his hidden fortress on Exegol and his cloning plan for if Vader betrayed him, allowing him to start over. If anything, I think his lack of a contingency comes down to Vader betraying him the way he did. We know in TROS that Palpatine’s whole thing was he originally wanted Rey to give in to the dark side and strike him down, as this would allow him to possess Rey. Presumably, had Kylo killed Rey, he likely would have done that to him instead. And that is a key detail: it needed to be a dark side kill, a kill out of anger and selfish desire to make him dead, not a killing done in a light side state of mind where it isn’t done out of some selfish need. That’s what I think he was planning for in ROTJ, thinking he had a win-win-win. If he succeeded in convincing Luke to give into his anger and strike him, he could have possessed him and claimed Luke’s body for his own, giving him a host with the same potential he hoped Anakin would have before Mustafar. If Vader stopped Luke from killing him and Luke killed Vader, then he had a more powerful apprentice he could use and when Luke (inevitably) tried to kill him and take over, he could possess him then. And if Vader stopped Luke from killing him and killed Luke, then at the very least, the biggest threat to his reign would be gone and Palpatine would still have Vader as his enforcer while he sought alternate paths to immortality. He simply didn’t consider Vader betraying him for light side reasons. He never believed Luke would be able to survive AND resist the call of the dark side/stay true to the light. And in then end, when Vader betrayed him, it wasn’t out of a selfish desire to kill his master and take the throne; it was out of the selfless love of a father sacrificing himself to save his son

Actually, while he did planed the final touches (such as the Creation of the Clones and the formation of the Separatist Movement with the help of Dooku and the Corruption of Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader) and was the final executioner of it, The Grand Plan of the Sith was created by Darth Bane millenia before after the defeat of the Sith at the Battle of Russan in the New Sith Wars

​@alpha34098 The creation of the clones, Palpatine's rise to power in the Republic, and the Seperatist War was like 95% of the plan. All Darth Bane did suggest infiltration of the Republic was the best option to bring down the jedi.

@@microsf121 But none of that could have worked if it wasn't for the fact that the Sith had been in the shadows corrupting the Galactic Republic, The Jedi Order and The Entire Galaxy as a whole for centuries before the events of the prequel trilogy

Thanos did it better.

@@helloman3676 he just collected some stones😡

I don’t know, I’m pretty sure Palpatine knows he’s pure evil.

Death😭😭😭”Something somethings darksideeeeee”

The villain is always the one of finishes second

@@therepublic21exactly palpatine isn’t an idiot he knows what he’s doing is evil and that’s why he loves doing it

He is truly the sith lord

Actually he DID died in the reactor shaft but he was revived by dark rituals by his cultists in the Unknown Regions

Wrong. The sequels to the original trilogy is not canon. They're spinoffs since they fucked up several things.

​@@joewas2225 In Legends he also did his Clone Return thingy. Disney didn't even invent that

​@@timinski_i yeah the only thing legend did better was actually explaining about Palpatine's clones. Rise just forced it down our throats.

Fax

Does he look like a guy who has plans? 😉

He took down every mob and retired the Batman simultaneously and created Two Face. That's why it's wrong to refer to The Dark Knight as a Batman movie, it is not, it's a Joker movie. The film starts with the implementation of the plan and ends with the Joker's victory.

The way the joke wants to push bat man over the edge, is what makes batman better, makes him stay so good. Its the challenge, its taking the difficult year to push yourself

Agreed 👍

Reality is often Disappointing.

When the real reason he did it, was to try and get into lady death's pants.

I was thinking the same thing. Telltale sign that the narrator isn't a fan.

No one cares

Me too. Unfortunately, I often figure out plot twists way ahead of their reveal, but The Usual Suspects really got me. I love it. It's one of my favourite movies.

And what the detectives came up with to counter it: Shoot the hostage!

No other film made the impact quite like Speed only due to that plot

He did live long after he should have died

@@rookie1178But if he hadn’t been so evil he would still be alive and well as he was far younger than Dumbeldore.

The stupidiest part of Voldy's plan is not using some random rock to create the horcruxes and drop them in the middle of the ocean. Heck, that was the first thing Harry think he did.

@@varric his ego wouldn't allow him to put any part of himself into a mere rock.

@@rookie1178That's why he get defeated.

Well he is a force of nature

I caught a Pokemon Batman.... :)

He's not Batman's greatest enemy for nothing.

In the comics, Joker's mind is so complex and insane that not even the most powerful telepaths on DC universe have been able to read and explore his mind.

To be fair, hè himself probbly doesnt understand how his mind works, its like hes makeing perfect schemes but winging it at the same time

Arlington Road was filmed on my street, will always love that movie

The snap didn't turn the stones powerless. Thanos destroyed the stones later on to prevent anyone undoing the snap. Though to my understanding the undoing of the stones in Endgame by Thanos should end that universe as the stones are the anchor points of the universe and unmaking them would destroy those anchor points.

@@Excanda I believe it’s been clarified that he didn’t technically destroy the stones so much as turn them to subatomic dust of some sort. They still “exist” just across the universe and not in a concentrated form that can be wielded by someone

@@johnbrant3355 good point, he said "..reduced to atoms"

@@ero-samairianto625 he did? my bad.

Marvel may have great heroes, but DC have fantastic villains.

Thanks for sending my comments

Gotta be able to separate people from their work. Fuck Harvey Weinstein but he produced A LOT of movies I like

​@bn3421, true, that's how I roll. Then again, I have never seen the Harry Potter movies, so I hold no lost feelings.

​@@bn-tc2tkYou should watch the movies, then

I agree with you. She's so smart and Gone Girl is one of the best films of the last few decades.

well yeah..... ones the clown prince of chaos and the others a cannibal. They couldn't be any further from one another.

@@frankfontaineofficial still, they both caused mass panic and hysteria, both geniuses.

@@Rosewolf29 ok I kinda get what you mean. They are both extremely Smart Criminals which were deemed unfit around the public. I wouldn't put it past Cannibal to cook humans four Prince Jokers

@@frankfontaineofficial honestly I wouldn't either.

You forgot the Russians and Koreans. They are the most often foreign "bad guys".

he didnt succeed, eh?

The population doubles every X years. On Earth specifically, about 48. Thanos's plan bought us 48 years. He really should have no place on this list.

Indeed it was a stupid plan. What he should have done was introduce a genetic abnormality in every race which sterilises a female after 2 successful births, until the population reaches a certain threshold, when it undoes that.

😂😂😂
