The Batman Family adversaries or the rogues gallery are a collective of fictional supervillains appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. These characters are depicted as adversaries of the superhero Batman and his allies.

Since Batman first appeared in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939), his supporting cast has expanded to include other superheroes, and has become what is now informally called the Batman Family. As with most superheroes, a cast of recurring enemies to the Batman Family have been introduced throughout the decades, collectively referred to as the rogues gallery. Many characters from Batman's rogues gallery who are criminally insane become patients at Arkham Asylum after they are apprehended.

The Batman Family's rogues gallery has widely been well received, considered by many journalists to be one of the greatest superhero rogues galleries in all of comics.

The following fictional characters are listed alphabetical order by the name of their supervillain persona. Each character's first appearance and brief biographies of each fictional character are also listed, pertaining to their fictional histories and characteristics in the DC Universe. Sometimes more than one fictional character will share a supervillain persona. In those cases, the name of the character most associated with the supervillain identity will have their name in bold in their biography.

Listed below are the Batman Family's most enduring and iconic adversaries.

These are major Batman Family adversaries that don't quite reach the status of Batman's classic rogues gallery.

The Jane Doe version of Copperhead from Arkham Asylum appears in All-Star Batman, working as an assassin hunting down Batman.

First appearing in Strange Adventures #215, the League of Assassins is a team of highly trained killers that was founded by Ra's al Ghul and has often swayed from working under his organization to working independent of it. The group has been led at times by Dr. Ebeneezer Darrk, the Sensei, Lady Shiva, and Cassandra Cain.
