See i'd vote for the elf but given the whole alcohol tolerance things elves have to vote for the walking time bomb. Worse I bet you that guy actually manages to lose his disk and then we are all doomed.

Current criteria: least convincing batman villain. I say Elves of the Deep Shadow. I mean, what do they do? They cut themselves all day long. Not a good villain.
My Kobold Dragon Shaman had his crowning moment of awesome yesterday.
We were facing down a 25-foot tall Eldritch Fire Giant, who was a war-like king of a kingdom whose power was based on strength. Since my Dragon Shaman has a Red dragon totem, I am immune to fire, and his hammer dealt pure fire damage. So I tried to taunt him. My 2’ 2” Kobold let out a 30 foot mushroom cloud of fire with his cone of fire breath straight up, and shouted at him to “Show me your fire, little man!”
It didn’t work, but the DM did admit that it was a pretty good taunt.
That wasn’t the end of the awesomeness, however.
After getting punted away by him, I decided to latch onto him, and climb up. I made the Grapple check, and the first Climb check, and make his way up to his thigh.
Throughout all this, we’ve been pounding him with cold spells, and weapons. They broke his rib, slashed his hamstring, and all kinds of fun stuff. He was almost dead, so he used his spell like ability: Dimension Door. Portaled about 900 feet straight up, to the top of the mountain. Carrying, unbeknownst to him, a tiny Kobold. He started to limp over to a nearby dragon at 10 feet per round, ready to fly off.
Focused on his task at hand, he crawled his way up the Giant’s leg, up his back, and around his shoulder. He was hoping to get a stab on the guy’s neck, but he had a gorget. Undeterred, he grabbed onto his helmet, held out his medium-sized Dagger he borrowed from the Ranger, and stabbed it into the helmet’s eye socket as deep as it would go.
The Giant stumbled, flailed around. His Dimension Door ability went off, and he portalled back into the chamber, about 300 feet up.
About 50 feet up, our Dwarven Wizard hit me with Feather Fall. The Giant crashed to the ground, dead.
My kobold went over to the Giant’s head, jabbed him in the helmet, looked in his good eye, and hissed, “My fire burns greater!”
He then, without turning his head, pointed at our Ranger and said, “I lost your dagger.”
That fight got us enough to level twice. (Well, technically. We got enough to get to the next level minus 1 XP, due to 3.5 rules. We then got 1000 storyline XP, so pretty well everyone in that fight dinged twice)
Reminds me of the time my half-red dragon sorcerer dove directly into the chest of a gigantic fire elemental.
The following took place during one of Avatar of Kokusho's D&D games:
So we're hanging out in the abyss looking for a small chunk of pure concentrated Plane of Fire. Suddenly, there's a huge fire elemental with something barely visible inside its chest.
The thing is stronger than it should be, so Yukora's dwarf figures it must be the chunk of Plane of Fire stuck in the thing empowering it.
Half-red dragons are immune to fire, right? So Yukora's character says "Hey, why don't you just go get it?" to my guy. So the half-dragon dives straight into the elemental's chest, and yanks the essence of fire out of its position since even half-dragon sorcerers have a really good strength bonus.
Then, my sorcerer proceeds to cast cone of cold from inside the elemental's chest, right up through its body into its head.
Everything scares me... kitties scare me... squirrels scare me... corpses....corpses bring forth a pletora of confusing feeling which i prefer not to dwell on...:p
I thoroughly enjoyed how a simple case of dwarven logic managed to make an epic encounter into a walk in the park.
I miss that campaign, especially Thorel, my dwarven holy warrior. I swear to God, the only time I got hit in that campaign was when I coordinated Thorel's death with Jen.
Speaking of struggles, I had this random mook in the last session I ran...
Party is running to the hospital (one of the pilots got horrifically injured in the last battle) because people have broke into the base to 'save' the pilots. They end up tricking a group of three, blasting one guys head off. One of the pilots (14 years old as it happens) grabs another guy's arm and wrenches it so hard it snaps. He passes out.
Then the older guy of the group levels his gun in the face of the last man who manages to pass his willpower test to not pass out. He proceedes to pass four more willpower tests, failing only after watching the older guy blasting the unconcious guy's head like an overripe watermelon. Slaping him back awake, he is staring down the end of the gun. I feel this man needs something to justify his strength of will. He begins talking about how the UN had taken his daughter Elennore to be a pilot, without even telling him. That he was trying to save all these other pilots from the same thing. The older guy is still set on killing him (He's a Lt and has served in spec ops so its not much to him), but a few of the other pilots are queasy about it. Lt won't kill the guy while they're watching so he's getting sort of frantic about them looking away. Finally, he leaves off by blasting both the man's kneecaps.
He passes his last willpower to not pass out from the pain.
They hear his screams of "Elennooooooooooooooore!" echoing after them as they continue their run to the hospital.

I just killed one of the PCs in my Pen & Paper Inn campaign. In the first combat encounter of the game.
Bwahahahaha.
That's why I like Dark Heresy...I don't feel like an ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺ when I throw seemingly-impossible odds at the players. Because they can live via Fate Point! (Or, if they accumulate enough Horse Points)

Regarding the Clantest, I'd vote for the samurai. I just can't see a samurai as a villain in Gotham City, especially not a fox one, and especially not in Adam West's Gotham City (although admittedly I've only seen an episode or two). Samurai of the Pale Curtain gets my vote.

Sig credited to my basic GIMP skills.
There's something about a homemade avvy that makes you feel proud no matter how much it sucks.
The problem with Samurai of the Pale Curtain is that they would actually make a convincing Batman Villain.
I can imagine a stage dwelling (there's the pale curtain) samurai with a dark past that gets on Batman's bad side or some other nonsense.
No you want a character who apparently does nothing you look to Jhoira. All she ever gives is the angry face. What exactly is so evil about her. At least the fox has his costume down.

Yes but what you are missing is that this is Adam West era Batman. The time of hokey villains who don't have fancy powers other than their seemingly amusing antics and ideas.
How would Jhoerias power translate other than to be clockwork queen or something. Not really all that impressive.

It's a stark contrast to Flames, isn't it?
Don't worry, my replacement character will not be so squishy.

Samurai of the Pale Curtain.
I just can't see a samurai being evil enough to be a villian, what with their bushido.

Elves of deep shadow though... Not so much.

Elves seems more modern Batman villain to me.
It's like that saying about a snowball in hell.
Likewise.
We may have to change out vote to the Kitsune to save our asses...
