The Batwoman tv show has gotten off to what I think is a really fun start and I've had a good time so far watching Kate and her supporting cast face off against their villains and deal with the larger storyline at hand. Superheroes are often times defined by their villains though, and there are always a large cast of baddies for the hero to fight alongside their journey. So far Batwoman has given us Alice from the heroine's rogues gallery in the comics, but after some searching there are quite a few other villains from her roster I would love to see throughout the show's lifetime! So here are the top 5 Batwoman villains I'd like to see in the CW!

5. Endless Winter
Starting off with number five is Endless Winter! This one seems to be one wrapped up in the storylines of other villains and heroes, but I think the show could largely ignore that like it does with a lot of the other appearing characters. Having a character appear using ice powers could be a fun Gotham spin on Killer Frost from the Flash tv show; however, I'm not sure about the show's stance on metahumans quite yet and how much they would be featured.

4. Catman
Going with a non-metahuman and a potentially more likely character, Catman had a storyline in the comic revolving completely around Batwoman. He was in love with her from what I read, and did his best to make her love him too even though she never would. It could be a neat storyline to see in the show, though I'm not entirely keen on a straight man trying to turn a gay woman straight. The ridiculousness of Catman would be a sight I'd love to see though.

3. Weeping Woman
I'd be really excited about the prospect of this character joining the tv show! I love the myth that she is centered around, and I think she could make for a very gritty, grim villain for the hero to fight. There's no colorful flamboyant superpowers associated with this supernatural villain, just pure misery that would fit perfectly in Batwoman's world.

2. Arkham escapees: Green Fairy, Lamprey, Scatter, Nocturna
Circling back around the metahumans, and a bit of a cheat spot with several villains, but I just love this group of random villains who appeared during a break out scene in one of Batwoman's comics. Each one could fit perfectly into a villain of the week episode, with characters like Scatter and Green Fairy being ones I'm particularly interested in seeing pop up.

1. Wolf Spider
Getting to number one, I think this character is the most likely out of the list to make an appearance on the show, at least in its current state. He's a basically ground level villain and thief, meaning no flashy superpowers, and story wise he is a close friend of Kate who she ends up having to take down as Batwoman. It would provide a great dynamic between the two, especially if she spends most of it not knowing his identity, and he not knowing hers; kind of like a more mysterious Alice/Kate dynamic. Potential for a big bad or recurring villain ala Flash's Captain Cold? I think so.
