The Joker He is Batman's arch-nemesis introduced in Batman #1 in 1940. Previously, Batman had been in Detectives Comics, but within a year he was allotted his own title.

Batman's Greatest Enemy Is… The Joker.
Batman and Joker
It is true that Batman also has quite a few memorable villains that comprise a well-regarded rogues' gallery, and people are likely burned out on him battling Joker, but the two have been built up as mortal enemies.
Professor Hugo Strange. Hugo Strange's enmity with the Dark Knight stretches back to 1940, making him Batman's first major villain. He's a psychologist and chemist who knows Batman's not-so-secret identity.
Riddler is one of the most intelligent enemies Batman has ever faced, but he's not a fighter.

The Reverse Flash. All the powers of the Flash, but being used by a violent sociopath who has no moral qualms about how he will use them. Batman has made plans to defeat the Flash, but the Flash has morals holding him back. The Reverse Flash doesn't.
Why Bruce Wayne Was Afraid Of Lex Luthor. Another reason Batman fears Lex Luthor is because he's the only villain who can match Bruce Wayne's resources. Even Batman's best villains often have to struggle and steal to enact their plans, which means Bruce will always have an advantage with the tools at his disposal.
There's no doubt that recalling the fate of his parents is Bruce's biggest fear and regret. No matter who kills Batman's parents in different media, it's the catalyst to the person he becomes. Bruce spent all his childhood and early adulthood scared of remember what had happened.
To Be Forgotten. While fans got to hear many memorable quotes from Joker in Batman: Arkham, the series also revealed what his greatest fear is supposed to be. As it turned out, The Joker feared being forgotten more than anything else because it meant nobody was afraid of him anymore, rendering all his crimes void.
The revelation came in the pages of Detective Comics #1017, in which orphan Miguel Flores, having been rescued by Batman and Robin, tells the Dark Knight that his favorite superhero is Superman. Batman reveals that Superman is his favorite too.
Robin, Batman's vigilante partner, was introduced in the Spring of 1940, Alfred Pennyworth, Batman's butler, was introduced in 1943, and Barbara Gordon was introduced in 1967.

Even with the best laid plans, if the Avengers are smart and stay together, there's pretty much no way that Batman can win against them- at the end of the day, as smart and prepared as he is, he's just a regular human against some of the most powerful heroes around.
Superman (Stronger)
Whether on the big screen, like in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice or on the pages of books like Lex Luthor: Man of Steel, the two heroes have had their fair share of scuffles. Nearly every time the hero of Metropolis and the Dark Knight meet up, Superman comes out on top.
Batman feared Superman's unchecked power, and Superman (Henry Cavill) hated Batman's brutal methods, but the real reason why Batman and Superman fight is manipulation by Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg). Batman emerges victorious, and from a narrative perspective, Batman v Superman could go no other route.
