As much as I love elements of Spider-Man's past, I don't really want to go back in and retell the Gwen Stacy and Green Goblin story in animation just so I can do my take on it. I don't want to redo the first 'Spider Slayer' story.
Villains are undone by what is worst in them, heroes by what is best.
Hypocrisy is the necessary burden of villainy, affectation part of the chosen trappings of folly; the one completes a villain, the other only finishes a fop.
To make Michael Myers frightening, I had him walk like a man, not a monster.
Do not cast away an honest man for a villain's accusation.
If Spider-Man is your ground level superhero, I wanted to come up with a ground-level villain. I wanted to figure out if I could turn a regular guy into a super-villain.
Every hero is the villain of his own story.
My father is best known for his light comedies, and I'm best known for crazy bad guys with short tempers.
'The Dark Knight,' for me, has the same problem that every other 'Batman' movie has. It's not about Batman. I think Heath Ledger is just phenomenal and the character of the Joker is beautifully written. He has a particular philosophy that he carries throughout the movie. He has one of the best bad guy schemes.
Thou whoreson, senseless villain!
In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is.
Villains are mostly just people villainized by circumstance
I'm doing 'Alvin and the Chipmunks.' I get to play the bad guy. That's a nice change of pace.
Wars, conflict, its all business. One murder makes a villain. Millions a hero. Numbers sanctify.
A lot of times evil - or, in the case of comedy, stupid - is more interesting than the hero.
Heroes are defined by their villains - Batman is nothing if he doesn't have Two-Face.
I thought I did play one villain, Hitler, [who is] like Lecter in some ways, but he's a mythical figure, anyway.
Demetrius: Villain, what hast thou done? Aaron: That which thou canst not undo. Chiron: Thou hast undone our mother. Aaron: Villain, I have done thy mother.
People come up to me and say, 'You are such a great bad guy.' The fact is that the antagonist in a movie is usually the most fun to play. You can stretch the role and do so much with it.
I prefer to play the villain or the antihero.
I think 'Batman Begins' is certainly my favorite Batman movie I've seen.
Black Panther is a great film'. It has the most compelling villain of any Marvel movie, and it deals admirably with the issue of diminishing jeopardy in a million superhero films where the world is going to end.
I loved Batman as a kid.
Baddies always do get the best lines, that's the honest truth.
Say hello...to the BAD GUY!
