I've been curious about this myself, most especially if a hard number can be had.  There are variables, I think, like the "Bug Hunter" badge, which was obtainable in the original game if you submitted documentation of a serious game bug and the devs liked your efforts enough to reward you with the badge. I'm not sure that's still being handed out, but if so, it's extremely rare.  There's also the blue/red issue, possibly.  While we can cross the line of hero/villainy,  I think I'd once heard that there were certain side-specific badges that neutralized other side-specific badges.  This was only heard, mind you, so I could be wrong.  There may be other total-count variables I've not heard in rumor.

Go to Badger, create a new character, make sure the filters are clear and the dropdown for badges per page says "All", and then click the checkbox at the top of the list that selects everything currently listed.

 

The counter will change to say 1530, but if you go to your character list it will say 1532. I'm not sure what the discrepancy is.

Not exactly. There are several badges that have different names depending on whether you're Hero or Villain, and even some with a different name if you started as a Praetorian. Also, there are some badges that you can complete the requirements for, but you won't earn them unless you're the right alignment. However, once you earn them, you'll keep them if you switch back.

 

There used to be some that you'd lose if you switched side (the ones that give power-granting accolades, IIRC), but I'm pretty sure they were changed before side-switching even left the test server.

The 'Bug Hunter' and 'Flames of Prometheus' badges are special case badges. The way KeyboardKitsune has the Badger site set up at the moment, those two badges count towards your character total but not towards the badge counter on the badge collection page. Thus the discrepancy that you see above.

The current highest amount is 1525, but there's still a few badges that haven't come up yet, such as the some of the Valentines badges and the Nemesis event badge. Some other badges, like the anniversary badges, can only be obtained during the month of May.

At the current moment, if you started right NOW, and somehow got all the currently achievable badges in like, a week, the most you could get is about ~1460, because you wouldn't be able to get most of the Halloween/Winter Event/Valentines/anniversary badges (though some of the winter badges can be bought with candy canes), nor "Until the End of the World" for the 1500 badges badge.

[EDIT] it occurred to me that getting all the day jobs would take longer than a week, but, you get the point!
