6 Flashpoint Batman

Thomas Wayne: A Father's Descent into Darkness

  • Featured Comic:Flashpoint (2011)
  • Creators: Geoff Johns & Andy Kubert

In an alternate timeline, Thomas Wayne dons the mantle of Batman following the tragic death of his son. Unhinged and brutal, he enforces his brand of justice with lethal force, driven by grief and a desire to eradicate crime.

Trapped in a reality not his own, Thomas Wayne's twisted mission is to save his son from a life of vigilantism, even if it means breaking him in the process.

5 Zur-En-Arrh Batman

The Dark Alter Ego Within

  • Featured Comic:Batman Vol. 3 #136 (August, 2023)
  • Creators: Ed Herron & Dick Sprang

Zur-En-Arrh represents a darker facet of Bruce Wayne's psyche, an entity unbound by the moral code that restrains Batman. This ruthless persona seeks to cross lines that the Dark Knight dare not tread, posing a threat to friend and foe alike.

With unparalleled power and instability, Zur-En-Arrh embodies the peril of a Batman unrestrained.

4 Owlman

The Tyrant of an Alternate Reality

Owlman, the malevolent counterpart of Batman from a parallel Earth, embodies corruption and cruelty. Driven by hatred and power lust, Owlman orchestrates chaos and destruction, aiming to conquer not just his world but others as well.

Aligned with a league of villains, Owlman's reign of terror threatens to engulf the entire multiverse in darkness.

3 The Devastator

The Unstoppable Force of Destruction

  • Featured Comic: Dark Nights: Batman - The Devastator #1 (November, 2017)

Infused with the destructive power of Doomsday, The Devastator combines Batman's brilliance with unbridled brutality. His insatiable desire to annihilate worlds and mutate populations into monstrous beings sets him apart as a formidable threat.

Driven by a lethal concoction of intellect and brawn, The Devastator stands as a nightmarish fusion of hero and villain, a harbinger of cataclysmic proportions.
