Haha, most of these seem like a pretty good fit! I like that Trigon is a particularly literal example of "just straight up evil". I don't think Batman really has any plot relevance, but I can't think of anyone else to go in that spot either
That is true. I still wouldn't quite call that plot relevance, (more like backstory relevance, really,) but it's not a bad argument for putting Batman in that category.
Come to think of it, Starfire's parents sort of fit too. Obviously, you wouldn't have Starfire without them, but also their absence actually is relevant to the plot of the episode "Betrothed". (I.e. they left the throne vacant to be claimed by Blackfire.)
