Surely he's on the side of the good guys in the Christian Bale-era Batman movies?

I think Hannibal Lecter is one of the best.
Dick Dastardly is also good.

If you're talking about Brian Cox's Hannibal then yes, but Anthony Hopkins one was a bit over the top for me.0 -

God, I saw that again recently and while it's pretty crap I still love it..
For the serious answer I'm not really sure how you can top Hitler, but what about the witch from the wizard of oz, or Raph Fiennes character from Schindlers List? Even more so since his was based on a real life character.0 -

To be pedantic about it, only Hopkins played "Lecter". Cox's character in Manhunter was "Lecktor". I preferred Cox's cell - all sterile and bright lights - made him seem like a lab specimen
More baddies: -
Rutger Hauer in "The Hitcher"
Lee van Cleef in, well, anything'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'0 -
General Woundwort."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Film
Witch in Wizard of Oz - terrified me as a kid!
Blofeld and Irma Bunt in Bond
Sergeant Barnes - Platoon with Bunny as evil henchman.
Real life
As well as our favourite German a certain Stalin wasn't the nicest!
Literature
Pinkie in Brighton Rock. One of the few characters I have found menacing from reading a book. Never seen the film version though.0 -
Ambassador Raymond Haviland in the Bourne Supremacy (book)
Not OTT evil, but what he puts jason through, and the cold edge, country before morality attitude is brilliantly written.
Definitely the bad guy, but you can understand why.
Also warden Norton has got to rank up there (from shawshank redemption)"I hold it true, what'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost;
Than never to have loved at all."

The Juggernaut in The Duel.
Robert Patrick as the T-1000 in Terminator: Judgement Day. He is actually a robot."A cyclist has nothing to lose but his chain"

Adolf Hitler or Margaret Thatcher
Hard to choose.
One was a dictatorial leader who led the country into an unnecessary war, dealt ruthlessly with those seen as disloyal, created internal conditions which brought about pitched battles on the country's streets and condemned millions to a bleak future.
The other came to power in Germany in the 1930'sWhere the neon madmen climb0 -

Regardless of how much I detest Thatcher she was no Hitler.Old hippies don't die, they just lie low until the laughter stops and their time comes round again.

You might be right, the comparison could bring fascism into disrepute and therefore shouldn't be made. Where the neon madmen climb0 -

Extra points for Snoop, because she is also a convicted murderer in real life!
Is anyone on The Wire really a through and through baddy though? Except, obviously, Carcetti and Rawls."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

I wouldn't say Carcetti was a baddie. He was pretty idealistic really, and wanted to do a good job for the community... it just didn't work out the way he wanted.
Rawls is a bit different, but again, was he really a baddie? He was just doing his job and following the rules laid down by Royce.
The only true 100% baddies in the Wire were, I'd say, Marlo (but not Chris or Snoop) and the Greek and Vondas. Everyone else is shades of grey. The bad guys have some good and the good guys have some bad. That's what makes the Wire so great, though.0 -
Dammit i typed all this out once and the site kicked me out...
Carcetti was only ever interested in gaining power and acclaim for himself. He cared not a jot about any of the problems the city had unless he could gain something by appearing to.
Rawls may have been following orders but dammit he enjoyed following them!
