Equinox
A mysterious villain obsessed with balance who tried to kill the Question and Gorilla Grodd as a part of life's goal to bring balance to society.
Managed to escape Batman, foreshadowing his return in a later episode.
Although he tried to destroy a villain to restore balance to the world he needed to destroy the Question to make sure that the power of good did not overpower the forces of evil.
This makes him slightly neutral of villainy but is still considered a villain.
What makes him odd is that he fell from atop a building into an alleyway, yet survived. Before he fell, he said that if Batman was to survive he had to also.
He starts a fight between Shrapnel and OMAC in "When OMAC Attack!"
This time, he demonstrates reality-bending powers, such as turning Batarangs into real-life bats.
After Batman sacrifices himself to deactivate a nuclear reactor, Equinox bring him back to life, stating that his death would unbalance the universe.
In "The Fate of Equinox!", it is revealed that the Lords of Chaos and Order gave him the magics of both light and dark when he was a baby and taught him, in order to allow balance, so that neither side could become more powerful.
However, the pressure was too great and he snapped, going insane and believing he could do a better job without following his masters and followed a sense of balance that made sense only to his fractured psyche.
When he failed to stop the Earth from rotating in order to make one half of the world bright and hot and the other half of the world dark and cold as his eternal example of perfect balance, he was killed but this merely released his spirit, allowing him to absorb the power of his old masters, making him all powerful.
He tries to destroy and remake the universe in his own image using this great power.
Batman, with the combined powers of Doctor Fate, Aquaman, Black Canary, Black Lightning, Blue Beetle, Fire, Flash I, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Plastic Man, and Red Tornado bonded with him (causing Plastic Man to dub him Bat Monolith), fought Equinox.
At one point it seemed the Bat Monolith had the upper hand putting Equinox on the defensive, but Equinox appeared to regain the upper hand.
Bat Monolith found a way to defeat him when he made Equinox realize he was not in perfect balance because he hated his old masters, the magic of Chaos and Order inside him caused Equinox to begin to crack.
Bat Monolith took the opportunity and punched Equinox into the energy he was preparing to destroy the universe with, destroying Equinox forever, or so it seemed.
Equinox, in a sense, returned in "Time Out For Vengeance".
It was revealed that when Bat Monolith destroyed Equinox, he shattered Equinox body and mind into twelve fragments across time and space.
The part of Equinox that represented his hate and thirst for vengeance found its way into a supercomputer.
There, he commissioned squadrons of robots infused with his essence, and sent them across time to eliminate the Batmen of different time periods.
Almost immediately, Batman dissolved into thin air, and Rex Hunter arrived at the Justice League station to tell them the bad news.
He, Martian Manhunter, and the rest of the Justice League International set out to save the Batmen of the past; Guy Gardner and Ice rescue a caveman Batman, Booster Gold and Blue Beetle rescue the Batman of pirate ages, and Fire and Aquaman go to the Roman Empire to save the Batman there.
However, past and present in this universe occur at the same time, and events of the future can also affect the present.
When the robot Batman of Equinox's time is captured and tortured, the Justice League returns to find their Batman has not returned, and only Rex and Manhunter can remember anything about him.
The entire team, Rex excluded, go to rescue the robot Batman, but the remainder of Equinox's revenge squad is more than a match for them.
Robot Batman summons up his will to break free, and an angered Equinox combines his minions into one massive robot, which his mind jumps into.
Robot Batman uses his Batarang to overload Equinox's time portal generator, summoning the past Batmen who band together and battle Equinox.
Equinox is obliterated, and in his wake his robots vanish and Batman returns to existence.
However, the Justice League remembers that Equinox splintered into twelve fragments, and so there is every possibility that he can return.
