respect

ed heroes in the DC Universe, not only by the world's civilians and heroes but also by

villains

, and this is simply due to his high intellect and tactical skills. He may not have superpowers, but he does. They have an incredible amount of willpower and we're going to take a look at five

times

villains

have shown

respect

to Batman's dark side. Now the dark side is one of the most powerful villains in the DC Universe and even incredibly powerful heroes like Superman have been defeated by it before, but in the movie Superman Batman Apocalypse Now Batman Superman and Wonder Woman go to the dark side planet to rescue to Superman's cousin Supergirl, and while Superman and Wonder Woman fight, Batman hacks the dark side's deadliest weapons, the Hell Spores, and he tells her.

The dark side that if he doesn't let Superman's cousin free, will detonate them all and destroy the entire planet. Now the dark side tries to subdue Batman but of course Batman is not deterred by the sight of his own blood etc. The dark side is forced to agree to Batman's terms and lets them all go and tells Batman that he is impressed by his tactics and says that Superman or Wonder Woman couldn't have done the same, but a human kills even his own species to win Wars he considers it an admirable trait, so he shows a lot of respect towards Batman at this time and is also impressed with Batman in the Justice League animated series.

The dark side tries to kill Batman with his Omega Beams, but Batman is able to dodge them. and the dark side admits that no one has managed to dodge these rays before, at least in this universe, and there is also a moment in Batman the Brave and the Bold when Batman confronts the dark side to defend the planet and gets him not to use them. his powers, but in fighting in hand-to-hand combat and the dark side honors his request, which is not only a great show of respect but is also a bit silly to be honest, given the side's staggering amount of physical power. dark side, there was no way Batman could win in hand to hand combat or even defend himself for that long, it really is a good fight and it's quite impressive that he was able to get the dark side to face him as an equal and Batman also manages to avoid Darkness. sides and lightning in short supply in this fight as well, although of course they defeat the Dark Side, all the heroes combined and then send him on his way and into Apocalypse's war, after the dark side has captured most of the Justice League and have been brainwashed, choose to have Batman.

As the overall leader of all his armies, he respects Batman's mind enough to know that his towering intellect is the best option to tactically command his forces and best implement the will of the dark side throughout the universe and the most impressive part of this It's just that Batman is really brainwashed into this, the other heroes are basically programmed as robots and don't even know who they are except Superman who is just thrown aside to be punished, but with Batman he keeps his mind intact because he knows that He is the most useful piece. to keep Ral in his army now Ral has never had anything but respect for Batman, sparing his life on several occasions when he could have easily let him die and of course never revealing his secret identity to the world simply out of respect for him.

He even wanted her to be his successor because he respected her abilities above all other humans and that's all the other humans, not only on the planet now, but that he has known throughout his hundreds of years. of years of life. They are led by a man his father believed he might be. his successor until my father found out about you and believed again that with an army of Assassins behind him Batman could create a better world, a world he was never able to make and he even gave him the honor of being the one to have a child. with his daughter real Batman did not do this of his own free will Talia drugged him and then took him to bed without his consent and this Union created Damen Wayne but yet he has never allowed anyone to have a child with his daughter much less become in his heir, so letting Batman do it is the ultimate sign of respect, and as for being Rael G's successor, Batman naturally turned it down since it would mean killing people, which he refuses to do.

I will never kill, not even you, the one you lied to. I needed a sample of your father's blood, this was the only way, let me help you use my sword, take it all, no and in Batman Beyond, after Batman refuses to succeed him, he decided to steal his body and put his own mind inside him. which in some ways is actually the most respectful thing she could have done, since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and therefore becoming like him must be the sincerest form of respect for his abilities. He respects him so much that he literally wants to be one.

He, after all, could have had anyone's body, but he chose Batman's. You were always the perfect detective, even old age hasn't softened you as much as I feared and in the Red Hood movie, you enlist the Joker to fight Batman. The idea is that the Joker distracts Batman and Robin from the rac activities and it works, except that the Joker goes too far and kills Jason Todd, out of respect for the fact that he was the one who unleashed the Joker and therefore, is partially responsible for Robin's disappearance. He decides not to go to war with Batman again and also brought Jason Todd back to life, wife with a Lazarus Pit as penance for his transgressions against Batman.

Now he's killed hundreds, if not thousands, of people and he never goes out of his way to treat them like that, but he always goes out of his way to treat Batman like that and if that doesn't show that he respects his enemy well, nothing will. Joker in The Telltale Games Joker is called John Doe and if you make the right decisions Joker not only becomes Batman's friend, but he bases his entire identity on Batman becoming a bat-based hero and even saving Batman's life. Batman, since he completely idolizes him, of course, later decisions may lead to them fighting, but it was still a great show of love and respect.

In Arkham Origins, the Joker is so impressed by Batman's abilities that he places a $50 million bounty on his head and hires the world's deadliest assassins to take him down, and if that doesn't show respect for his abilities, then nothing will, of course, Batman. so good that he still manages to defeat the Slayer, although it's not easy, and he also shows him respect in Arkham City by asking him to collect the cure for his illness. Joker could have gotten his cure from Mr. Freeze in many, many different ways as he has many villains on his payroll but instead he uses Batman, now you could say this was just for fun and there was a discussion that, He is the Joker after all, but I think he knew Batman was the only one. who could get the 100% cure, although of course Joker knows that Batman cannot be bought, bullied or manipulated so he not only infects him with the disease but also infects innocent citizens and this had to be done because , although Batman does want to. save everyone, we all know that he wouldn't have gone out of his way to save Joker from his own blood poisoning, at the end of the day it's his fault, but in a roundabout way he is showing a lot of respect for the heroic ways of the.

He knows Batman is the ultimate hero and that is the greatest sign of respect Batman has received from the Joker. Amanda Waller. Now Waller didn't think much of Batman to begin with in the Justice League series, as she saw the Justice League as nothing more. A threat to humanity or rather a threat to the United States government, but over time she began to see the value of the League and Batman as his actions earned her respect. I read your mind, that's how I knew you weren't going to use it. Mrs. Waller's gun on me, no it wasn't and eventually she not only respected and admired him, but she also began to fear for a world without Batman to the point that, as he grew up, decided to replace him instead of just training someone.

Instead, he decided to clone him, found a match of the right age, and then used nanites to secretly change the man's reproductive material to a genetic match to Bruce Wayne's so that his son would be genetically the same as Bruce Wayne's son and , therefore, she created Terry McGinness, who would one day end up becoming Batman Beyond and, like I said, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and the basic element of respect and, furthermore, she actually intended to kill this child's parents so that he would come out more. as Batman, but when her killer repented and went to Waller and told her that this was not right, she agreed to betray Batman's ideals to create a new Batman, it is not what he would want and again, out of respect for him, she decided don't do it.

However, like I said, he eventually ended up being Batman Beyond anyway, but hey, some things are out of our control and despite all that fierce exterior, I've never met anyone who cared as much about his fellow man as Bruce Wayne. , the Batman in the television show. The Batman Hugo Strange says that he believes that the hero more dangerous than the rest of the Justice League is Batman and that he is also the only intellectual equal or at least rival that Hugo Strange has and when Strange sides with an alien race invader named joins and helps them defeat the Justice League and begin their invasion of Earth.

Strange tells the aliens that Batman is the most dangerous and the biggest threat, but the aliens only care about super-powered beings and dedicate all their resources to stealing those of the League. abilities they succeed in but then with Batman's help the league escapes and then Batman gives them his secret weapons to defeat the Justice League. Well, what gives to your partner, you have prepared weapons to use against us just as a precaution, this is because now. that the aliens have their powers, they also have their weaknesses and using Batman's weapons, they defeat the aliens and regain their powers, so even though the aliens underestimated him, Hugo Strange did not respect Batman's abilities from the beginning if only he they would have listened.

They may have actually taken over Earth, the Arkham Universe. Now Mr Free shows Batman respect for her abilities by needing her help on a couple of occasions in Arkham City, the bad guys have taken Freeza's wife and he knows he can't get her back. alone, so he tries to beat Batman in a fight even though he knew he was going to lose to force him to help him, but he overestimates his own abilities in the fight and of course he loses, but don't forget that Batman is a hero, so which still rescues his wife and Mr.

Freeze even gives him a cryogenic weapon to help him and in the Arkham Knight game, Mr. Freeze really learned his lesson when his wife is taken away again, the bad guys say they want to Batman in return and Mr. Freeze doesn't even try to fight Batman because he knows that Batman's abilities are much greater than his own and of course that the bad guys probably won't honor this deal if you trust them. Victor, shoot, generator of warning cries, unstable, he knows it too. that if he talks to Batman and asks for help, he will go find his wife, which he does because he knows that Batman is a great hero and in fact, this is a great show of respect towards Mr.

Freeze if you look through him. In the Arkham games he participates in, you can see his appreciation for Batman's abilities in Arkham City grow. Freze knows that he is dangerous and skilled, but still believes that he can overpower Batman with his suit, but Arkham Knight learned how outmatched by Batman. and him lowering his weapon in submission even though Batman has done nothing but stand there, that is one of the greatest signs of respect Batman has ever received from one of his gallery Rose and other villains show their respect by Batman in this universe. also on the game screens in the game Arkham Origins both Shiva and Deathstroke comment on how great Batman's ability is and on the game screens in Arkham Knight Mr Freeze does the same saying that he will avenge Batman out of respect for him now he can't It seems like the highest praise since he has to be dead to be said but for a villain and a murderer there is no greater respect than for a worthy opponent Justice League action now in an episode of this show the smartest people on the planet are kidnapped and Batman is ranked as one of the smartest men in the world by Mr.

Mind and then kidnaps him along with the others on his list as he considers them the only threat to his plans. Now he may not seem respectful. He kidnapped someone, but he did it out of fear of Batman's intellect, which to Mr. Mind is the highest version of respect there is, and Batman still defeats him because Batman really is that smart and in another episode of the show, Zatana and Batman go. to a magic club for monsters, demons and evil magical creatures, all of whom don't really want to fight Batman and when they leave, Satan tells him that monsters actually tell each other stories ofBatman each other when they want to scare each other.

I don't deal often. With the Wizards, don't underestimate yourself, little secret, when the goblins want to be scared, they now tell Batman stories in a way that's just a cute little line, but I still think it's a great show of respect in a way that, later of everything, they would not do. that joke about Superman now, and those are the best moments that villains have shown respect to Batman, which is your personal favorite among these?
