About this movie

Behind every great hero, there is an even greater gang of villains. The most menacing villains from the DC Comics' universe - The Joker, Bane, Catwoman, Darkseid, Doomsday, Lex Luthor and more take center stage in this feature-length documentary narrated by legendary screen villain Christopher Lee. Highlighting the malevolent, sometimes charismatic figures from DC Comics' rogues gallery, this compelling documentary explores these iconic antagonists in-depth, featuring interviews with the famed creators, storytellers and artists responsible for the twisted personalities and profiles of many of the most notorious villains in comic book history - including Zack Snyder, Guillermo Del Toro, Jim Lee, Kevin Smith and Richard Donner. Hugely popular in their own right, the legendary society of super-villains supplies the engine and energy of some of the greatest storytelling in comics and this incredible documentary.

The best comic-based documentary I've seen. The depiction of the characters, the back stories, the interviews, the character bios and information; all was delivered and researched in a great way that captured the one thing comic books are able to do that is beyond reason, allow the reader and/or viewer to Love The Villain >:+D

Great synopsis of the psychology of the villians, or rather the heroe's psychological and literal need of the villains. Very entertaining. Tons of backstory and awesome imagery.
