The Joker was Batman’s nemesis, but—ironically—his archenemy was Superman, since Superman made Batman entirely mortal and generally nonessential. Nobody likes to admit this, but Batman fucking hated Superman; Superman is the reason Batman became an alcoholic.3 Clearly, you need a nemesis. Clearly, you need an archenemy. And it’s possible you already have both of these entities in your life; perhaps you just don’t realize it (or maybe you can’t tell them apart).
