The upcoming "The Dark Knight Rises" pits Batman against Catwoman and Bane.
In this undated photo provided by DC Comics, the issue 69 cover of "The Batman Detective Comics" featuring The Joker is shown. “The Dark Knight Rises” arrives in theaters on Friday. Here is a look at the Caped Crusaders greatest foes.
The Joker – With the possible exception of Lex Luthor, the Clown Price of Crime is the greatest villain in comic book history. He is captured at his best in the graphic novel “The Killing Joke."
Bane – Fueled by the steroid Venom, he broke Batman’s back. Luckily, Batman is pen and ink and not flesh and blood, so he quickly rebounded.
Two-Face – Once an ally of Batman, former district attorney Harvey Dent went off the rails after a criminal through acid in his face.
Ra's Al Ghul – A centuries old criminal mastermind, he is one of the few people to know that Batman is really millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne.
Catwoman – A beautiful jewel thief, Selina Kyle has tugged at the heart of the Dark Knight since her first appearance in 1940.
