Great Villain Showdown: The Final Match! [The Winner is..]

[Furtive Noise]

The Joker

 

[Cthulhudrew]

This is easily the toughest decision I've had so far in this contest. In the end, I'm going to vote for the Joker, by the narrowest of margins, and largely because I'm such a comic book junkie.

But I just have to say I'm not entirely at ease with the decision...

 

[Melkor Lord Of ALL!]

Vader. I like Star Wars much more than Batman.

 

[warlord]

Darth Vader: He's the Dark Lord of the Sith he'd judt choke the life out of that stupid clown before he could try anything.

 

[Klaus]

You're a common man, an ordinary man. You have hopes, dreams, and something that brings you joy. But one day it all goes away. Your hopes. Your dreams. Everything you loved. Even your face. Then you get it. The meaning of life, the reason for being, the purpose of Man. It's all a joke. A terrible, cruel joke. And then you snap. You find a new purpose.

You will be the punchline. You will laugh in the face of death, because you will be staring at the mirror.

I have read the Killing Joke, JLA: The Nail ("John Francis Bacon"). I have watched Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.

The Joker wins.

 

[Renton]

Joker.

 

[Dark Jezter]

I pick Darth Vader. For me, he's the iconic villain, regardless of the medium.

 

[Templetroll]

I choose the Joker.

(My wife and daughter chose Vader. There is no joy under this bridge tonight!)

 

[Kelleris]

Joker.

Though all my favoritest favorites have already lost (Cthulhu, Wile E., a few others).
