Joker is really the only one that fits your "I'm bad cause I'm a jerk/insane" reasoning. Scarecrow has family issues and a few other things that drove him to be what he is, and Two-Face is pretty obvious.
And are you really saying Batman and Joker aren't interesting just because they don't have superpowers? I just can't understand that viewpoint.
Superpowers is 1 issue with them (I read/watch superheroes for superpowers...not for king fu panda crap). Another issue is that Joker has the worst backstory ever. There is zero creativity to being bad just because. Batman himself is super annoying too how they can pit him against anyone and the creators will just automatically make him "find a way" to win. That is such nonsense. Anytime someone has a comic hero debate between Batman and another character, their argument is always "Batman will win because he will find a way to win." What a lame argument that is stemmed from his lame creators. Someone once told me that Batman beat Superman? Are you serious? And I know he beat Captain America in Marvel vs. DC. What a crock of crap.
