Just off the top of my head, there’s Scarecrow, Ivy, Harley, Hugo Strange, Kirk Langstrom, and I think I read that Freeze had his revoked.
A deeply traumatized sociopath trust fund billionaire that keeps bullying the scientists who only want to save the planet.
Yup, that tracks.

Batman is the world’s greatest detective. His villains need to compete on an intellectual level, and in fiction a doctorate is short-hand for “smart” and “an expert in the field.”

Good point. I suppose there are only so many Killer Crocs and Solomon Grundys you can have before he’s just abusing guys with learning disabilities.

My favorite moment from the old Batman animated show was when the rogues were sitting around telling their stories about how they almost got Batman. Actually, I wouldn’t do it justice, just watch it here:

Of course there’s a twist at the end that changes the moment a bit, but it was still hilarious.

Killer Croc has skin condition, not learning disability.
