#8 - Mirage

First appearance - Detective Comics #511 (February 1982)

Mirage used a gem that caused people to see elaborate illusions and committed crimes while his victims were occupied fighting against these illusions. This crime wave brought him to the attention of Batman. Batman faced Mirage several times before coming up with a strategy to beat him. During the encounter, Mirage's gem was destroyed. Batman was able to defeat him and sent him to jail. While in jail, Mirage managed to create contact lenses from fragments of his jewel. He proceeded to create the illusion of himself in jail and escaped to the circus he once worked for. Starting another crime wave, Batman was once again alerted to his actions. This time, Batman easily beat him and sent him back to prison.
