Answer 4

The Joker love to play some mind trick and he killed people without mercy. He has some bad past which resulting what he is today. In The Killing Joke, Batman told Joker that he can help him, or at least change him to be a good guy because he don't want to kill The Joker which The Joker refused because he has committed to many crime and killed to many people that he can't be a 'good guy' he used to be anymore. He has lost a lot of thing in the process. On the last scene of The Killing Joke, he told Batman a joke about two dudes escaping from Arkham Asylum and Batman was laughing (for the first time) with Joker upon hearing the joke.

The Riddler love to play mind trick but he didn't killed people. He only rob bank or kidnapping people, that's all. If you read the comics, he also helping Batman in some cases. He also shown escaping from Arkham just to leave a clue to Batman after knowing his I don't know, the girl who in charge of bringing a food to his cell being kidnapped by The Joker. The Riddler isn't as bad as other Batman villain.

Bottom line, The Joker is badder than The Riddler. In fact, other villain like Scarecrow, Bane, Clayface,Penguin, Two Face, Penguin, and a lot more is badder than The Riddler.

p/s That's the reason I'd love to see Johny Depp played The Riddler character (comic version, not Jim Carrey version) on the next Batman movie.

Riddler- The one who wears green with ?'s and has the gold ? staff

Answer 7

The Joker is a villain that thrives on causing mental pain to innocent people to get his own way. This is usually how he will get money or Batman to show himself.

The Riddler prefers to use wits to get his way. He will use riddles to puzzle his victim and in one of the Batman comics it was said that the Riddler would give his victim a riddle and if they got it right, they lived. If they didn't, he would either torture or kill them.

Other Batman villains include:

The Penguin

Mr Freeze

Catwoman

Poison Ivy

Two-Face/Harvey Dent

Harely Quinn (Joker's girlfriend)
