DC villains don't get much bigger or more universe-threatening than the Anti-Monitor. The cold, inhuman antithesis to the Monitors that oversee the multiverse, the Anti-Monitor hails from the anti-matter universe and is obsessed with destroying all other universes. It nearly succeeded in the Crisis on Infinite Earth's storyline, leaving the DCU a drastically different place in its wake. Even now, it remains one of the most overwhelming enemies of the Green Lantern Corps, and was a major foe during the stellar second half of Green Lantern: The Animated Series.

Mr. Freeze has been a mainstay of the Batman franchise for decades. But the villain didn't truly come into his own until his debut on Batman: The Animated Series. The episode "Heart of Ice" revamped Freeze from a simple madman with a cold gun to a tragic, brooding scientist who dealt with the loss of his wife by cutting off his humanity and trying to make all of Gotham as cold as his own heart. It was a take that has profoundly influenced Freeze's portrayal in every medium.

- The Joker. The personification and embodiment of pure evil, malevolence, and chaos, The Joker is possibly the most iconic comic book villain of all time.
- Doomsday. While Lex Luthor is often considered Superman’s arch-enemy, he’s never been able to actually kill the man of steel. Doomsday, on the other hand, has.
- Darkseid. The mighty ruler of Apokolips, Darkseid is a literal God. He is one of the most feared entities in the DC universe. Drawing parallels with Marvel’s Thanos, Darkseid’s ultimate goal is to gain control over the Anti-Life Equation.
- The Batman Who Laughs. A sick and twisted version of the World’s Greatest Detective, The Batman Who Laughs is an agent of pure chaos. Spawning from the Dark Multiverse (specifically Earth -22), this former version of Bruce Wayne is a product of severe trauma and infection.
