Anti-Batmen

Anti-Batman is a term used to describe villains who borrow heavily from the Batman either in theme, style, background or M.O.. A significantly large amount of characters have been created with this purpose, some as primary Batman Villains, and others who meet Batman only tangentially. Although there are many villains who act as almost Batman copycats, the term "Anti-Batman" is also often applied to villains who mirror one classic Batman aspect, but pervert it in some way, the most common example being villains who are capable of matching Batman's skills at tactical planning and psychological anticipation.
