Batman
Christian Bale, "Batman Begins" Many would argue that Batman is nothing without his toys, but just try and mess with the guy and see if he doesn’t punch you in the face. He’s been angry for nearly 20 years, and dressing up in a tight, neoprene batsuit every night certainly doesn’t help with one’s psychosis. Okay, so he’s afraid of bats, but everyone has their weaknesses, right? And Batman uses that fear to transform himself into one of the coolest vigilantes to ever walk the Earth. Plus, he’s got an array of gadgets that would make even Superman jealous, including a sweet ride that’s one part Corvette and one part tank.
Definitive badass moment: Privy to the Scarecrow’s hallucinogenic drug after having already been sprayed with it once, Batman turns the tables on the doc and gives him a taste of his own medicine. The result? The Dark Knight like you’ve never seen him before.
Classic badass line: "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you."

Tony Montana
Al Pacino, "Scarface"
What do you say about the most profane gangster in the history of profane gangsters? Local drug lord Frank Lopez secured a green card for a young punk named Tony Montana in exchange for killing one of his fellow Cuban refugees, and the Miami cocaine trade would never be the same. Tony’s rise to prominence was swift, thanks to his strict adherence to the tenets of success (“…when you get the money, then you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women”), and there is no one in his crew that is too good to kill, which keeps his people honest. Sure, not everyone appreciates his brash style of management, but when the chips are down, Tony can always rely on his “little friend,” a combination M16 and grenade launcher.
Definitive badass moment: When Tony watches emotionlessly while his associate Angel is dismembered with a chainsaw during a drug deal gone wrong.
Classic badass line: “I kill a communist for fun, but for a green card, I gonna carve him up real nice.”
