The Joker, really the only comic villain that can compete against him is magneto (in terms of awesomeness, not strength)
but man does batman have a ton of great villains. Easily the best villain lineup ever

I don't know Dr.Doom, Lex Luthor, and Professor Zoom are pretty awesome.
I really meant depth and awesomeness.
Lex is just mad scientist # 354, then turned into a business tycoon in the 80s
Doom is a standard over the top evil overlord
zoom, come on reverse flash:roll:
Compared to
Magneto: ex-holocaust survivor convinced mankind is pure evil , and wants his kind of superior being on top, which makes him in the end like the nazi's he hates
Joker: chaos in carnate. Like Alfred said. "Some men just want to watch the world burn down", and that makes him ****** terrifying. He does not want riches and glory in the end, but just to watch others suffer.
Going by comics
Lex: Luthour is a man who has become president of the US, just in spite of humanity for loving superman more. He has often been showed that he could easily cure cancer and other amazing feats if, he took a slight break from furthering his ambitions, and he would further his ambitions if he left superman alone. Lex is actually an old friend of clark kent, and was superboy(young clark kents) fan. He could not relate to human beings because of his intelecct and saw superboy as the only one who he could relate too. He actually lost his hair developing a way for superboy to come up with a kryponite immunity. There was an accident and he began to hate supes and mankind more. Lex murdered his own father and made it look as if his time in smallville never happened. Everything he does is an elaborate ploy for everyone to acknowledge that he is the worlds smartest man and look better then superman. From allowing his janitors son to get into a school(though it would mean a kid who earned it would not), to blowing up a bus full of kids to make it look like superman did it. He has blown up metropolis and populated planets, and started wars, not to mention saved earth. He has become almost godlike and could have made everyone in the universe eternally happy, but turned it down becaus that would make superman happy too. The joker is only a threat in gotham and can be put in prison, lex rarely pays for his crimes.
Dr.Doom:wrote the freaking book on how to be and evil overlord, but he is smart enough to keep it to himself becaus no one gets it right but him. The guy runs a country, has taken over the world, broken out of hell, raged wars against every hero on earth, and has made the world better. He is marvels mad villian for a reason, and magneto will never be able to reach his level, because magneto still tries to act like he has a conscience.
Zoom: Has gone back in time and changed history on a global scale. He does it because deep down he know the flash has ruined his future. He can not kill him directly because then he would not exist and vice versa. But zoom instead of sitting in stalemate has attacked and killed the people close to the flash. Since rebirth it is established zoom went back in time and killed Barry Alenns mother and framed his dad, murdered anyone close to him, and made him into a lonely isolated human being. He even killed the mans wife(but they retconed it that zoom can not hurt her)
Magneto is not even a villian anymore, and the joker stories have gotten stale imo. Joker more then any bat villian needs a major reboot. DC has completly lost what made this charachter interesting.
