Dr. Jeremiah Arkham

Dr. Jeremiah Arkham

Voiced by: Mr. Rogues

The Director of Arkham Asylum, who records his sessions with the patients there.

---

• Ambiguously Evil: Jeremiah Arkham appears to wish to help his patients. However both Black Mask and Scarecrow think he is no different than them, and he also uses electroshock therapy against Riddler. His comic-book counterpart is a straight-up villain who even becomes the second Black Mask.
• Beleaguered Bureaucrat: Running an asylum would be a stressful enough job without the various costumed lunatics in Gotham complicating things further.
• Bully Magnet: He mentions having been bullied as a child, which may explain a few things about him now.
• The Bus Came Back: He returns at the end of series 3 to be Hugo Strange's therapist after being dead since the end of series 1. It's unknown if he is a ghost or just a hallucination.
• Cowardice Callout: Delivering a vicious "Reason You Suck" Speech to Dr. Death, Arkham declares Dr. Death hasn't tried to escape Arkhan Asylum at all because deep down he fears the entire RYS Speech will be proven true if he sees contemporary Gotham, and that'll prove to him he's nothing.
• Doctor Jerk: He's done some questionably ethical things from time to time, such as using electroshock therapy on the Riddler and implying that he'll turn the violent inmates loose on Black Mask.
• Driven to Suicide: After the Scarecrow succeeds in driving him insane, Dr. Arkham takes his own life.
• Go Among Mad People: It's obvious that spending his life working with psychotic supervillains has taken a considerable toll on Dr. Arkham's mental health. Scarecrow theorizes that Arkham has spent so much time working with costumed villains that he's no longer able to live a normal life among people outside the asylum.
• Jerk Ass Has A Point: His "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Dr. Death was pretty harsh — not to mention ludicrously unprofessional — but every word of it was true. Dr. Death himself realized this, and the breakout he instigated at the end was a desperate attempt to prove Jeremiah wrong.
• Kids Are Cruel: He empathizes to some degree with former bullying victims, having been bullied himself in his youth. He even calls children "cruel little bastards."
• Madness Mantra: After the Scarecrow breaks him, Jeremiah can't help but repeat "I am one of you! I am one of you!"
• Married to the Job: Jeremiah describes himself as this at the end of his interview with Jane Doe.
• Not So Above It All: He claims that his mind is strong enough to resist Poison Ivy's mind control. She has him under her spell in record time.
• Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: An in-universe justification; he was born in the United States but spent much of his life in England, so his accent tends to waver between the two.
• Pet the Dog: When he learns that Polka-Dot Man wanted to be a comic book artist, he offers him paper and pencils to help him pursue that.
• Psycho Psychologist: Scarecrow and Black Mask think so. Given he used electroshock therapy on Riddler, they're onto something.
• Sanity Slippage: He already had a tenuous grasp on reality as-is, but his encounters with the various rogues have left him increasingly worse off. It's not until he overdoses on Scarecrow's fear toxin that he completely breaks.
• Workaholic: Jeremiah has been known to bury himself in his work, to the point of staying in his office overnight. Scarecrow claims that Dr. Arkham has spent so much time working in his namesake asylum that he fears the outside world, immersing himself in his profession so he won't have to face the fact that he can no longer relate to the normal people of the world.
• Wrong Genre Savvy: He underestimates Scarecrow's dangerousness, assuming him to be useless without his fear toxin. This couldn't be further from the truth.

Dr. Hugo Strange

Dr. Hugo Strange

Voiced by: Mr. Rogues

The Interviewer of the series after Jeremiah's apparent suicide

---

• Adaptational Heroism: He is purely motivated to make Gotham a better place and has never been shown to use the immoral tactics of his comic and cartoon counterparts. Even at the end of Series 3 when he has been driven mad he desires to help as many people as possible.
• Break the Haughty: He gets hit with this hard in Series 3. Believing Batman to be the cause of so many villains appearing in Gotham, he conspires, and succeeds, in revealing Batman's secret identity and having him locked up in Arkham. One year later, though, not only has Batman been replaced by another vigilante in the form of Batwoman, but for every Rogue, he helps reform, several more pop up to take their place. In the end, he's forced to concede that he was wrong about Batman and Gotham and that everything he's done has been All for Nothing.
• Madness Mantra: Near the end of his session with the Scarecrow he goes on a rant about how he has not failed and it was not for nothing.
• "Not So Different" Remark: He admits his desire to help as many people as possible without being able to truly fix Gotham makes him similar to Batman.
• Wrong Genre Savvy: The cause of all of his failings is that he thinks he lives in a sane and rational world when he lives in a comic-book universe. He sees superheroes and supervillains as a trend that can be brought to a close, when in truth they’ve been part of his world since Vandal Savage, and no matter how many he removes from the game, more will rise to take their place.

Patients

Series One

Scarecrow

Jonathan Crane, aka "Scarecrow"

Voiced by: Mr. Rogues

Real name Jonathan Crane, The Scarecrow is a psychologist-turned-criminal who is obsessed with instilling fear in others.

---

• Ambiguously Human: He's based on a character who was human in the source material, but this iteration of the Scarecrow speaks with a Voice of the Legion, he's able to drive people to suicide with just his words, and his mere presence somehow creates an Ominous Visual Glitch in the video recording.
• Break Them by Talking: He doesn't need fear toxin to strike terror into the hearts of his enemies; he recalls driving an orderly to suicide just by talking to him. Strange found this out the hard way in Series 3.
• Card-Carrying Villain: He proudly admits to murdering people and inflicting the occasional Fate Worse than Death that he claims Batman would be too terrified to even think about.
• Cold Ham: He commands a powerful presence despite never raising his voice.
• Deadpan Snarker: He's not above the occasional sarcastic comment.
• Faux Affably Evil: He's a polite conversationalist, but that doesn't mean he's not pure evil.
• Freudian Excuse: He was bullied as a child, and it's implied that this is part of why he became a villain.
• Green-Eyed Monster: Dr. Arkham theorizes that Scarecrow hates Batman as much as he does because he's jealous of the fear Batman instills in others. Scarecrow objects at first, but concedes that Arkham may have a point.
• I'm Not Afraid of You: Crane used to be afraid of Batman until he realized that, aside from his stealth tactics and hard punches, there's not much to be afraid of; Scarecrow likens Batman in this regard to the bullies who tormented him during his childhood.
• The Mentally Disturbed: To quote Dr. Arkham:
  Jeremiah Arkham: The patient suffers from psychopathy, a complete Lack of Empathy for others, and sadistic tendencies. The patient also suffers from obsessive-compulsive behavior; he's obsessed with the concept of fear and has a compulsion to dress up like a scarecrow.
• Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: His main purpose in life is to instill fear in others; he usually achieves this with his patented Psycho Serum, but he's more than capable of frightening people into suicidal insanity with just his words and carefully administered psychological tactics.
• Pretender Diss: Ultimately, the Scarecrow considers Batman a "poser" whose fear tactics are amateurish at best, and hollow at worst because he never goes too far in punishing his enemies. Dr. Crane, whose life's passion lies in fear and who's certainly not afraid of killing people (or worse) finds it infuriating that Batman is more feared by Gotham than he is.
• Psycho Psychologist: He's a former psychologist by trade, but now uses that knowledge to torment and terrorize people in the name of spreading fear.
• Scary Scarecrow: Dr. Arkham notes that the Scarecrow's namesake comes from his tendency to wear a macabre scarecrow costume.
• Soft-Spoken Sadist: He's a sadistic villain who never raises his voice.
• Unexplained Accent: He speaks with Mr. Rogues' native Swedish accent, even though his nationality is never commented on.
• Voice of the Legion: Scarecrow's speech is inexplicably augmented with a warped reverb effect, causing a deeper voice to speak in tandem (albeit slightly out of sync) with his real voice.

Maxie Zeus

Maximilian Zeus, aka "Maxie Zeus"

Voiced by: Mr. Rogues

A former expert in Ancient Greek history and myth who now believes himself to be the Greek God of Thunder, Maximilian Zeus has gained power in the criminal underworld by pushing an addictive designer drug, Euphorus, onto the masses.

---

• Affably Evil: While he is very full of himself and gets testy very easily, Zeus claims to genuinely care about the "mortals" who worship him and is more than happy to relate his personal story to his "devoted subjects."
• A God Am I: As is usual for the character, he doesn't just believe himself to be a God, but a very specific one: Zeus.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: He refuses to believe he's done anything wrong because, from his point of view, not only is he a God, but he had good intentions.
• Bolt of Divine Retribution: He claims to be able to incinerate people with bolts of lightning, but it doesn't work when he tries it (he claims it's because the straightjacket they put him in must have been enchanted, but the truth is obvious.)
• Even Evil Has Standards: He's genuinely disgusted by Black Mask's drug trafficking operations since the drugs he pushes onto people (implied to be heroin based on Zeus' description) are far worse than what Zeus' operation provides.
• Evil Brit: He speaks with a Received Pronunciation accent, complete with Trilling Rs.
• Evil Sounds Deep: He's got a deep, booming voice that one would expect from an actual god.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: It doesn't take much to set him off. He gets vocally offended when Dr. Arkham dismisses his claim to godhood as a "delusion." And when Arkham says Zeus only "believes" he's a god. And when Arkham calls Euphorus a "drug." And when he says Zeus' actions were "criminal." And when Arkham interrupts him. And when Arkham speaks without his permission. And when Dr. Arkham addresses him as "Maxie."
  Maxie Zeus: You are trying my patience, insolent mortal!
  Dr. Arkham: And you're trying mine...
• Insistent Terminology: Euphorus isn't a "drug;" it's an "elixir of the gods!"
• Jerkass Gods: Downplayed, surprisingly enough. He's quick to anger and has a massive ego, but on the other hand, he claims to be a "caring and giving god" who wants to make the "mortals" happy. Unfortunately, his method of doing so is by pushing addictive drugs onto the masses.
• Large Ham: He speaks with an overly grandiose, theatrical flourish that reminds one of BRIAN BLESSED.
• The Mentally Disturbed:
  Dr. Arkham: Patient suffers from a narcissistic personality disorder, delusions, and delusions of grandeur. His delusions mainly involve believing himself to be the reincarnation of Zeus, the God from Ancient Greek religions.
• Napoleon Delusion: He genuinely believes himself to be the Greek God Zeus. He used to be a normal man with a strong interest in Greek history and mythology, but witnessing a battle between Wonder Woman and Ares caused him to snap into a delusion of godhood.
• Narcissist: He thinks he's a God, so it's pretty much expected that he'd be insufferably full of himself.
• The Queen's Latin: He speaks with a regal Received Pronunciation accent despite claiming to be the reincarnation of a Greek god.
• Utopia Justifies the Means: Zeus considers himself justified in selling the addictive designer drug Euphorus to people because said drug — which is described as making users feel an overwhelming sense of bliss — is needed to make people happy in a cruel and miserable world.
  Zeus: This city is miserable, mortal. People are suffering. I am merely trying to cheer them up a bit, as best I can.
• Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe: He sometimes peppers his speech with early modern English words (like "aye" instead of "yes", "me" instead of "my," or "ye" instead of "you.")

Calendar Man

Julian Day, aka "Calendar Man"

Voiced by: Cryers is Tired

Real name Julian Day, Calendar Man is a prolific criminal who strikes on holidays and significant dates.

---

• Affably Evil: As evil as he is, he's a rather charming and polite fellow, and he gets offended when Dr. Arkham insinuates that he would resort to needless violence.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: He sees nothing at all inappropriate about celebrating Valentine's Day, a holiday about love and romance, by committing a crime.
• Card-Carrying Villain: He's quite open about being an unrepentant villain, and seems proud of his crimes.
• Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: Cryers is Tired gives Calendar Man a voice very similar to that of Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs.
• Even Evil Has Standards: While he's open about being a master criminal and is completely unrepentant about it, he draws the line at mass murder.
• Eviler than Thou: Before his internment at Arkham, Calendar Man was plotting to commit a crime on Valentine's Day so infamous that it would've made Al Capone's Valentine's Day Massacre look minuscule in comparison.
• Friendless Background: By his admission, he didn't have many friends growing up, and still has very few today. It's implied that the loneliness he's suffered throughout his life is what's caused him to start committing crimes on holidays: he's envious of people who celebrate with their friends, which is something he could never do.
• Freudian Excuse:
  • Day claims that the reason he's obsessed with holidays and dates is because of traumatic events happening throughout his life: his mother died on Christmas Eve when he was nine years old, his father got into a car crash on New Year's Eve two years afterward and went into a coma from which he still hasn't recovered, and Julian's wife left him on Valentine's Day. Dr. Arkham is sympathetic to this story... until he double-checks Day's file and realizes that Day was never married. Calendar Man bluntly admits thereafter that he made it all up before claiming that there is no "origin story" that explains his behavior.
  • Day gets a real Freudian Excuse later on thanks to Dr. Arkham's questioning and psychoanalysis; one that's far more mundane but still quite awful. Julian grew up poor with emotionally distant parents, had very few friends, and had never been in a serious romantic relationship. Dr. Arkham theorizes that this is why Day does what he does; Day denies it, but his wavering tone implies that Dr. Arkham is right on the money.
  Dr. Arkham: Your background, your "origin story" as you put it, may not be as melodramatic as that lie you told, but it still sounds to me like you've been pretty lonely. Poor Christmases with distant parents, Valentine's Days without a lover, New Year's Eves without friends to go drinking with...
  Calendar Man: And what's your point?
  Dr. Arkham: My point is, perhaps there is a reason behind the Calendar Man after all. You witnessed happy families celebrating Christmas together, young lovers out on dates for Valentine's, New Year parties that you weren't invited to. You were denied all these things — family, friends, love — so you grew to hate them out of envy. That's why you strike on holidays. Why else would you link holidays to crime, a destructive, negative act?
  Calendar Man: Wait a minute, Doctor: are you saying that I hate holidays? I, the Calendar Man, hate holidays? That is rich. [begins laughing] What's next? Does the Riddler hate riddles? [more laughter, which turns to crying]
• Green-Eyed Monster: Dr. Arkham theorizes that Calendar Man is motivated to commit crimes on holidays out of envy for people who have loving families, romantic partners, and friends to celebrate with; Day had emotionally distant parents, never had many friends, and has never been in a romantic relationship, so he was always too lonesome to enjoy holidays the way he saw others doing.
• Horror Doesn't Settle for Simple Tuesday: His main gimmick is that he only strikes on holidays or specific dates. It's implied that Day is simply lashing out at the world due to his unhappiness on holidays throughout his life.
• I Lied: After Dr. Arkham catches onto some inconsistencies between Calendar Man's files and stated backstory, Day wastes no time admitting that he was lying through his teeth the whole time.
• Mad Artist: He views his crimes as "a delicate work of art, fine craftsmanship worthy of a true artist."
• The Mentally Disturbed:
  Jeremiah Arkham: Patient suffers from obsessive-compulsive behavior and antisocial personality disorder. His obsessions involve the days of the calendar and holidays — more specifically, committing crimes on and centered around holidays.
• Parental Neglect: His parents were very emotionally distant, which meant that he has few happy memories from childhood. It's implied that the lack of familial love in his life is what drives him to commit crimes out of petty envy of people with happier familial lives than his.
• Soft-Spoken Sadist: The fact that he never raises his voice gives him a sophisticated-yet-sinister edge.
• You Need to Get Laid: He's never had a serious romantic partner before, and it's implied that his loneliness motivates him to commit crimes out of envy for people in happy relationships.

Black Mask

Roman Sionis aka, "Black Mask"

Voiced by: Curt Rose

Real name Roman Sionis, Black Mask is a sadistic mob boss who has a strange obsession with masks and how they symbolize the dual nature of humanity.

---

• At Least I Admit It: Black Mask believes he's saner than most people because he's at least honest about being evil to the core, and expresses that honesty by wearing a mask that expresses his true nature, while everyone else pretends to be something they're not.
  Black Mask: How many can say they don't hide behind acts? How many show their true selves, huh? Not many, Doc. Not many. People are living a lie. They're insane.
• Becoming the Costume: In a symbolic sense; he argues that he is sane and everybody else is crazy because, by fusing his skull mask to his face, he has embraced what the mask represents as a symbol of who he is on the inside.
  Black Mask: The mask, this face... is the real me. The face of Roman Sionis was a joke, as was the mask: smooth, pretty, meek-looking. It didn't represent the true me at all!
  Dr. Arkham: And this ebon grotesquery does?
  Black Mask: It does, yes. I'm a horrible person, after all. I'm not ashamed to admit it. I show my true face, what I am, instead of walking around with a false face, a fake faç ade.
• Card-Carrying Villain: While he objects to being called insane — in fact, he believes himself to be saner than most people — he openly admits to being an evil person.
• Cold Ham: He never raises his voice above an ominous whisper, but his overly poetic way of speaking and a strong emphasis on certain words make for a weighty performance nonetheless.
• Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Defied; Dr. Arkham initially assumed that Black Mask committed crimes because he needed the money, but Black Mask shoots this down by saying he's already independently wealthy and doesn't need the proceeds from his criminal activities.
• The Cynic: He believes that Gotham is beyond hope for redemption.
  Black Mask: [Batman]'s trying to turn the city into something it isn't.
  Dr. Arkham: Which is...?
  Black Mask: A good place. Gotham City is not a good place. Gotham City is a disgusting cesspool of filth and misery. My kind of town.
• Evil Sounds Raspy: His voice is very gravelly.
• Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: He was always evil, even back when he had a handsome face. He deliberately fused his black skull mask to his face so he would look just as monstrous outside as he knows he is within.
• Friendly Enemy: His interview with Hugo Strange reveals that he really does consider Batman a friend. When Strange questions Black Mask on Batman's identity, Black Mask even tries to walk back his statements made in his interview with Doctor Arkham, and when Stange reveals he has already figured out that Batman is Bruce Wayne, Black Mask begs Strange not to take Batman from him.
  Black Mask:Bruce, I'm sorry...
• Hypocrisy Nod: While he believes Gotham to be a lost cause far beyond the point of redemption, he admits to being part of the problem (though he still thinks that his crimes are only exposing the truth about Gotham.)
• I Was Quite the Looker: He describes his face pre-disfigurement as being smooth and pretty.
• Malevolent Masked Men: His entire MO revolves around masks; he has a black skull mask permanently fused onto his face.
• The Mentally Disturbed:
  Dr. Arkham: Patient suffers from psychopathy and obsessive behavior. He's obsessed with masks and faces, and whatever symbolic meaning they might hold.
• Not Helping Your Case: His reasoning for why he's not insane only makes him sound more insane.
  Black Mask: See this mask, Doc? I carved it out of my father's coffin and fused it to my face. Would an insane person do that?
  Dr. Arkham: Uh, well... yes? I think most people would say so.
• Secret-Keeper: He knows Batman's secret identity, but won't tell.
• Straw Nihilist: He believes that Gotham is too evil and corrupt to be saved, and to prove this, he goes out of his way to encourage the people's vices and cause problems, and he believes Batman is naïve for trying to save people.
  Black Mask: Gotham is miserable. It always has been, and it's the way it should be. Anything else is a lie. So, I fill the streets with drugs, guns, and prostitution to help keep it that way. It's such a shame Batman doesn't understand this; doesn't understand Gotham's true nature, and fights it.
• Villainous Friendship: He gets along well with Two-Face, whom Black Mask considers to be more honest about his true nature than anyone else in Gotham.
• Worthy Opponent: Black Mask admires Batman for being willing to wear a mask that symbolizes his true self.
  Dr. Arkham: What about Batman's mask? Your nemesis; do you have anything to say about that?
  Black Mask: It's not a mask...
  Dr. Arkham: Pardon?
  Black Mask: I said it's not a mask. It's his true face. He shows it too, just like I do. I respect Batman. He's misguided, but I respect him.

Killer Croc

Waylon Jones, aka "Killer Croc"

Voiced by: Mr. Rogues

Diagnosed from birth with a form of regressive atavism that has caused him to develop reptilian physical features, Waylon "Killer Croc" Jones feels detached and alienated from humanity due to his condition, which has given him misanthropic and cannibalistic tendencies.

---

• Abusive Parents: He was raised by a drunken, abusive aunt. Waylon believes that she hated him because of his condition, but Dr. Arkham believes that she's such a horrible person that she would've abused him even if he were normal.
• Adaptational Nice Guy: Most versions of Killer Croc are completely unrepentant in their bloodlust and detachment from humanity. This portrayal has him genuinely unable to control his impulses and showing genuine concern for people who get hurt by him.
• Apologetic Attacker: He is genuinely remorseful when he hurts and kills people in his fits of rage.
• Bully Magnet: He was a target for bullies when he was a child, mostly due to his condition. It's not like anyone would be stupid enough to fuck with him today...
• Creepy Monotone: He speaks very softly as if he were making an active effort to restrain himself.
• Evil Sounds Deep: His voice is demonically deep.
• Evil Sounds Raspy: In addition to being deep, his voice is as raspy as you'd expect from a human crocodile.
• Freudian Excuse: Growing up, Waylon was abused by his aunt and bullied by his peers. With that in mind, it's no wonder he's come to believe that Humans Are the Real Monsters, and it's hard for Dr. Arkham to disagree.
  Dr. Arkham: Your aunt was a terrible person, a drunken lowlife. She probably would have abused you even without your condition. And children... well, children are cruel little bastards. I got bullied and beaten in school too, you know. They were the animals, Waylon, not you. You can't let their actions shape you.
• Horror Hunger: Killer Croc's cannibalism is portrayed here as an animalistic impulse over which he has no control and in which he takes no pleasure at all.
  Killer Croc: I can't control it. I just get these... attacks. I go feral and I have to feed, eat whatever's in sight.
• I Just Want to Be Free: Waylon believes the only way to stop himself from hurting anyone else would be if he moved out of the city and was allowed to live in nature among the animals, whom Croc considers to be of his kind. Dr. Arkham argues that doing so would only deepen Croc's delusion of being an animal.
• I'm a Humanitarian: He's so detached from humanity that he has the uncontrolled compulsion to eat people.
• Kids Are Cruel: As a child, Waylon was bullied by his classmates due to his condition.
• The Mentally Disturbed:
  Dr. Arkham: Patient suffers from delusions and incredibly violent outbursts. The patient's delusions involve believing himself to be an animal, a crocodile. This has, among other things, resulted in cannibalism.
• My God, What Have I Done?: He's remorseful when he learns that he killed a friend of his and maimed the other in a fit of uncontrolled rage.
• Oh, Crap!: At the end of his session, Croc has one of his attacks of bloodlust and tries desperately to stop himself from eating Dr. Arkham, warning the doctor to get out while he still can.
• Ragin' Cajun: On top of being someone you should never pick a fight with, Croc speaks in a Cajun drawl and expresses a desire to live among the wildlife in the swamps of Louisiana.
• Talking to Themself: Croc is shown talking to himself when he feels his cannibalistic urges overtaking him.

The Riddler

Edward Nigma, aka "The Riddler"

Voiced by: Chris Conte

The Riddler, real name Edward Nygma, is an infamous criminal mastermind known for his use of complicated riddles and puzzles to taunt and confuse his enemies.

---

• Attention Whore: His stated reason for being a criminal is because he wants the city to acknowledge his genius.
• Berserk Button: The Riddler's already on edge from Dr. Arkham's... unconventional therapy methods, but he doesn't get angry until Jeremiah cheats by shocking him when he didn't ask a question. When Eddie calls him out, Jeremiah accuses Eddie of cheating regarding his riddles, which only pisses the Riddler off further.
• Break the Haughty: Dr. Arkham's Electric Torture breaks away the Riddler's superior faç ade as he becomes more and more desperate to avoid getting shocked — ironically making him crazier, the opposite of what Dr. Arkham intended.
• Deadpan Snarker: He fires off several sardonic remarks at the expense of Dr. Arkham.
• Ditzy Genius: On the one hand, the Riddler is a highly intelligent villain, capable of constructing complicated puzzles and baffling most of his enemies. On the other hand, he repeatedly gets himself electrocuted by asking questions, which he was explicitly told would happen, and walks right into that trap without realizing it until it was too late. He and Jeremiah also discuss Bruce Wayne's propensity for mysterious injuries that seemingly happen out of nowhere, yet neither men think to make the connection that he might be hiding something...
• I Just Want to Be Special: He views normalcy as a weakness and it's implied that his need to prove his intellectual superiority is driven by a desire to stand out from everyone else.
  Riddler: Normal lives are for peasants like yourself, not for a man of my intellect. You're attempting to stifle a genius; I hope you're aware of that, doctor.
• Jerkass: He treats pretty much everyone with condescension and disdain.
• The Mentally Disturbed:
  Dr. Arkham: The patient suffers from a narcissistic personality disorder, delusions of grandeur, and obsessive-compulsive behavior. He's obsessed with telling riddles and challenging the law — or more specifically, the Batman — with these riddles.
• Riddle Me This: The Trope Namer himself; he's obsessed with telling riddles, to the point where he can't stop himself.
• Smug Snake: As usual for the character, the Riddler is a smug jerk who can't stop mouthing off even when he knows he shouldn't.
• Tranquil Fury: When Hugo Strange reveals that he has discovered the Riddler's true background, that he used to be a nobody, Riddler is furious. He threatens to dig up Strange's past if Strange doesn't destroy his file. Strange backs down.

Dr. Destiny

John Dee, aka "Dr. Destiny"

Voiced by: Mr. Rogues

Real name John Dee, this villain is a telepath who can use his power over dreams to alter anyone's perception of reality.

---

• Affably Evil: While he did attempt to Take Over the World, he's nothing but polite and amicable with Dr. Arkham, taking him on a journey across the dream world not to harm or threaten him, but just to give him a glimpse at the extent of his powers and the discoveries he's made because of them. He also speaks respectfully of the Justice League, expressing concern for Batman's mental health and empathizing with Superman's desire for a humble, modest life.
• Cannot Dream: He is incapable of dreaming; he can enter the dreams of others, however, and his attempt to Take Over the World was motivated by a desire to be able to dream once again.
• Creepy Monotone: His voice never rises above a whisper.
• Dream Weaver: He can enter dreams and alter them to his choosing. Ironically, he is incapable of dreaming and often uses his powers just to visit others' dreams.
• Evil Sounds Deep: He's got a very deep voice.
• Humanoid Abomination: He Was Once a Man, but is now a quasi-demonic entity who can pull anyone into others' subconscious minds; his powers even affect the recording equipment in the room, allowing them to record the dreams he enters.
• Outside-Context Problem: Dr. Arkham laments that the Arkham staff are at odds on what to do with Dr. Destiny, a Justice League-level threat who was dropped on them without proper context or instructions.
• Seers: He can see into people's dreams, and not only uses this to glean information about the dreamers' personalities and inner desires but also claims that absolute truths about the universe can be discovered in some dreams as well (specifically that of the Green Lantern.)
• Telepathy: He can establish telepathic links with anyone and pull them into dream worlds.
• Terse Talker: He speaks almost exclusively in terse, clipped sentences.
• Voice of the Legion: His voice echoes and reverberates as if in a metal chamber.

Poison Ivy

Pamela Isley, aka "Poison Ivy"

Voiced by: Brea McCoy

A former botanist imbued with the ability to control plant life, Pamela Isley is a misanthropic eco-terrorist bent on taking revenge on humanity for their poor treatment of plants.

---

• Blue-and-Orange Morality: To her, killing plants is inexcusably evil, but murdering people is a-ok.
• Charm Person: She secretes unidentified pheromones that hypnotize weak-minded males into falling in love with her.
• Gaia's Vengeance: She uses her control over plant life to take murderous revenge on those who would harm plants in her presence.
• Green Thumb: She has the special ability to control and manipulate plant life.
• The Mentally Disturbed:
  Dr. Arkham: The patient suffers from psychopathy, delusions, hallucinations, and narcissistic personality disorder.
• Misanthrope Supreme: She sees humanity in general as completely disposable.
• Voice of the Legion: Her voice starts normally at first, but becomes more distorted as her mind control grows more potent.

Firefly

Garfield Lynns, aka "Firefly"

Voiced by: Mr. Rogues

An inventive and resourceful yet highly dangerous pyromaniac, Garfield "Firefly" Lynns has a passion for setting things ablaze.

---

• Death Seeker: After he relapses, he accidentally got caught on fire during a shootout with the police. He describes it as the best thing he ever experienced and wants to set himself on fire again.
• Deep South: Much like his appearance in Batman: Arkham Series, Firefly here speaks with a thick Texan drawl.
• Driven to Suicide: He attempted to kill himself after burning his first girlfriend to death. Batman rescued him before he could die, and Garfield has both resented him and felt inspired to embrace his true nature ever since.
• Evil Sounds Deep: He's got a very deep voice.
• Fetish: He's sexually attracted to fire.
• Kill It with Fire: He loves incinerating stuff.
• The Mentally Disturbed:
  Dr. Arkham: The patient suffers from pyromania and pyrophilia.
• My God, What Have I Done?: Before he became the villain we know today, he was so remorseful about his murder of his beloved girlfriend that he attempted suicide. Batman saved him at the last minute, and Garfield believes to this day that Batman should've just let him fall.
• Pyromaniac: He loves fire and the destruction it causes. He knows on some level that this isn't healthy, however, and recognizes when he takes it too far.
• Pungeon Master: He can't resist the occasional fire-related pun.
• Reluctant Psycho: He knows that his pyromania is wrong and expresses a desire to cure himself.

Polka-Dot Man

Abner Krill, aka "Polka-Dot Man"

Voiced by: Mr. Rogues

A nobody attempting to be somebody, Abner Krill is a nonviolent yet delusional wannabe villain who wants nothing more than to feel powerful.

---

• All Love Is Unrequited: He was in love with a lady named Sally, but she just laughed at him and called him a loser.
• Blatant Lies: Pretty much every word out of his mouth is a lie meant to make him sound smarter, cooler, and more dangerous than he is.
• Card-Carrying Villain: He wants to be an unrepentant villain, but he's just so bad at it.
• Daddy Issues: Krill resents his father for quashing his dream of being a comic book artist, yelling at the boy and saying it's not a viable career option.
• Harmless Villain: What can you say about a guy whose idea of a major crime is shoplifting a bottle of detergent from a convenience store, trying to lie by saying he was caught sticking up a laundromat as if that's somehow more impressive, and can't even accomplish that without getting beaten up by an old lady? Dr. Arkham further notes that, despite Krill's claims to be a criminal mastermind, he had a spotless criminal record without so much as a parking ticket beforehand.
• I Just Want to Be Badass: His constant, insincere posturing combined with the weak-sauce nature of his crime (not to mention the way he's been taken out) suggests that he's got a desperate need to be seen as cool and tough.
• I Just Want to Be Special: It's heavily implied that his desire to be seen as a master villain is an attempt to get back at the people he feels rejected him (the woman he had a crush on mocking him as a loser and his father disapproving of his dream of becoming a comic book artist.)
• Implausible Deniability: He spins so many lies that they end up contradicting each other (he boasts that his criminal record is spotless because he was too devious to be caught, then later claims to have been released from prison; he claims that Batman fought him and put him in Arkham, then later claims that Batman was no match for him and didn't arrest him. He also claims he invented the high-tech gadgets in his costume himself, only to later state that his costume was given to him by aliens.)
• Impossibly Tacky Clothes: He claims that the polka dots on his outfit can be used as high-tech weapons and gadgets, but Dr. Arkham, having examined the garment himself, determines it's just "a white leotard with painted-on spots."
• Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: He's an incompetent weakling who's so desperate to be seen as a scary badass that he's kinda endearing.
• The Mentally Disturbed:
  Dr. Arkham: The patient suffers from delusions, delusions of grandeur, and possibly hallucinations.
• Momma's Boy: He's not ashamed to admit that his mom made his costume for him.
• Small Name, Big Ego: He's a complete and total loser who's somehow convinced himself that he's the Dark Knight's nemesis.
• Unknown Rival: While he'd tell you that he and Batman are sworn nemeses, they've never actually met face-to-face.

Victor Zsasz

Victor Zsasz

Voiced by: Mr. Rogues

A cold nihilist to the very core, Victor Zsasz is a misanthropic Serial Killer who carves a tally mark onto his skin for every victim he claims.

---

• Creepy Monotone: He speaks in a monotone, which serves to show how emotionally dead he is.
• Driven to Suicide: He fully intends to kill as many people as he can before his skin runs out of space for tally marks, after which he will commit suicide.
• Evil Sounds Deep: He's got a horrifyingly deep voice fitting for a Serial Killer.
• Evil Sounds Raspy: His voice has a slight rasp to it.
• Faux Affably Evil: He speaks in a sardonically friendly manner as he's holding Dr. Arkham hostage.
• The Mentally Disturbed:
  Dr. Arkham: The patient suffers from psychopathy, major depressive disorder, and obsessive-compulsive behavior. He's obsessed with carving a tally into his skin for every murder he commits.
• Psycho Knife Nut: Zsasz prefers to use knives to slay his victims. He even steals a knife from the kitchen and sneaks it into his therapy session.
• Serial Killer: He's killed multiple innocent people throughout Gotham City. He thinks he's helping the people he kills because he sees death as the only relief from the emptiness of life. This is why he ultimately decides that Dr. Arkham is Not Worth Killing: because Zsasz personally dislikes him and considers him too much of a "weirdo" to "deserve" his "help."
• The Sociopath: He's an unrepentant Serial Killer who openly claims he can't feel.
• Soft-Spoken Sadist: He's a serial killer whose voice is consistently low in tone.
• Straw Nihilist: He believes that emotion is an "illusion" from which he's woken up, that everything people feel and care about is meaningless, and that there's no distinction between right and wrong. This is best exemplified when Dr. Arkham has Zsasz do a Word Association Test.
  Dr. Arkham: Now then, here's your first word: "flower."
  Zsasz: Useless.
  Dr. Arkham: It's not useless, Victor. I assure you this test will—
  Zsasz: No, my answer is "useless."
  Dr. Arkham: Oh. [clears throat] Your next word: "love."
  Zsasz: Fake.
  Dr. Arkham: "Hate."
  Zsasz: Fake.
  Dr. Arkham: "Life."
  Zsasz: Pointless.
  Dr. Arkham: "Death."
  Zsasz: Relief.
  Dr. Arkham: "Family."
  Zsasz: Hungry.
  Dr. Arkham: Hungry?
  Zsasz: Well, to be honest, I'm just feeling hungry right now.

Mad Hatter

Jervis Tetch, aka the "Mad Hatter"

Voiced by: JJHatter

A gifted scientist with a bizarre obsession with both hats and the works of Lewis Carroll, Jervis "The Mad Hatter" Tetch has taken to use his talents for mind control.

---

• Affably Evil: He's a rather pleasant and polite fellow.
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: For all of his many eccentricities, he's such a vaunted expert in neuroscience that he successfully managed to bring Wayne Enterprise's neuroscience division to previously unreachable success.
• …But He Sounds Handsome: When relating his life story, the Hatter describes his role in the third person and makes many remarks about his brilliance and good looks.
  Dr. Arkham: You're not very bashful, are you?
  Mad Hatter: I have no reason to be!
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: As can be expected from someone who lives like a Lewis Carroll character, the Mad Hatter's behavior is more than a little off-kilter.
• Evil Brit: He's a villain with a prim and proper English accent.
• The Gadfly: He never misses an opportunity to push Dr. Arkham's buttons — whether by nitpicking the semantics of his sentences or mocking his profession.
  Mad Hatter: "I'm running a madhouse," he says. I never heard anything madder in my life! You can't run a madhouse, Doctor. Isn't that the entire point of a madhouse?
• Literal-Minded: He misinterprets Dr. Arkham's "How are you doing?" to mean that he's meant to be doing something.
• Mad Hatter: Well, yeah. He not only relishes his insanity but also seems to believe that madness and anarchy are the natural states of things and that it's foolish to try to correct them.
• The Mentally Disturbed:
  Dr. Arkham: The patient suffers from delusions and obsessive behavior. He's obsessed with Lewis Carroll's Wonderland books and believes himself to be a character from those books: The Mad Hatter.
• Mind Control: As a gifted neuroscientist, he's invented mind control technology that allowed him to pursue his life of crime. The Hatter even demonstrates his technology at the end; a tea set shows up out of nowhere and Dr. Arkham is oddly receptive to the idea of taking some despite acknowledging that the tea wasn't there before. He takes a sip, prompting an Ominous Visual Glitch in the video before Jervis compliments the hat Dr. Arkham is wearing. When Arkham replies that he's not wearing a hat, Jervis claims that it must be the other way around — implying that he's somehow managed to get his mind-control hat onto Dr. Arkham's head.
• Napoleon Delusion: He believes himself to be the Hatter from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
• The Paranoiac: After Batman is exposed, he thinks Bruce Wayne set out to ruin his life because it makes sense to him in a world of nonsense.
• Schedule Fanatic: Inverted; he has no respect at all for schedules, and fails to see their purpose at all.
  Mad Hatter: Why didn't you see me last week, Doctor?
  Dr. Arkham: Because our session was scheduled for today!
  Mad Hatter: Exactly! That is exactly the type of nonsense I'm speaking of! I don't need you today, but last week I was in dire need of your psychiatric assistance.
  Dr. Arkham: What... what did you need my assistance for?
  Mad Hatter: Oh, it doesn't matter. It is past. You should have asked me that last week. Such nonsense.
  Dr. Arkham: Jervis, if you're trying to say that schedules are nonsense, then you clearly understand the real world even less than I thought. I'm running an entire asylum here. I don't have time to appear before you whenever you please.
• Society Is to Blame: When the Mad Hatter lost his job at Wayne Enterprise, he was aghast to discover that Bruce Wayne (or rather the company acting on his behalf), despite never having met Jervis nor had a hand in his project, took all the credit for Jervis' hard work and made a $4 billion profit from it. Instead of being angry at Bruce Wayne specifically for this offense, Jervis instead became disillusioned with the fact that such a thing happens so often that society at large treats it as completely normal.
  Mad Hatter: I feel no resentment towards Bruce Wayne. It's not his fault. It's just the way the world is. It's all a bunch of nonsense.
  Dr. Arkham: I see. So what you're trying to tell me is that the world is nothing but nonsense, and that's why you escaped to the comforts of Wonderland.
  Mad Hatter: [laughs] No, no, you're still not getting it, Doctor. I didn't escape. I haven't gone anywhere. This is Wonderland. We're all living in it.
• Stealing from the Till: His successful career as a neuroscientist came crashing down when he was caught working on the technology that would form the base for his mind control chips during company hours... in company facilities... using company equipment... Needless to say, he got fired and the company took all the credit — and profits — for his hard work.

Catwoman

Selina Kyle, aka "Catwoman"

Voiced by: Rae Harrell

A burglar with a cat theme.

---

• Calling Card: Leaves one at every crime scene. Jeremiah Arkham suggests she wants to be caught, but Catwoman disagrees.
• Had to Be Sharp: Catwoman thinks her rough childhood made her strong. Dr. Arkham disagrees and thinks it gave her childhood trauma that merits treatment at Arkham.
• The Mentally Disturbed: Despite Selina's objections, Jeremiah declares her to be this.
  Dr. Arkham: The patient suffers from obsessive behavior and obsessive-compulsive behavior.
  (later)
  Dr. Arkham: You are far from sane, Selina. You have experienced major childhood trauma, which in turn has led to severe mental issues. Antisocial personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder. I would also wager you have a fear of committment, yet a fear of abandonment as well at the same time.
• Thrill Seeker: Her reason for becoming a supervillain. And for leaving a Calling Card at every crime scene.

Harvey Dent/Two-Face

Harvey Dent, aka "Two-Face"

Voiced by: Richard Eckert

---

• Adaptational Heroism: Unlike most portrayals, the Two-Face personality is shown to have a sense of justice rather than only believing in chance.
• All Crimes Are Equal: Unfortunately, he also believes that criminals don't change their ways and shouldn't get second chances. When he says that Joker should be executed, it's understandable. When he says that a first-time drug offender should get a life sentence, not so much.
• Angst Coma: During a previous session, Jeremiah attempted to help Harvey choose a persona on his own by taking his coin away from him. This left Two-Face catatonic for two weeks until their next session.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Like Harvey, Two-Face loves Gilda. However, neither of them wants the other to be loved by her.
• The Mentally Disturbed:
  Dr. Arkham: The patient suffers from disassociative identity disorder and obsessive-compulsive behavior. He's obsessed with a two-headed coin and switches between his two separate personalities depending on a toss of his coin.

Jane Doe

"Jane Doe", real name unknown

Voiced by: Penny Dreadful XIII

---

• I Just Want to Be You: Or rather, anyone but herself.
• The Mentally Disturbed:
  Dr. Arkham: The patient suffers from borderline personality disorder, major personality disorder, and obsessive behavior.

Dr. Death

Karl Helfern, aka "Dr. Death"

Voiced by: Mr. Rogues

An archetypal Mad Scientist specializing in deadly chemicals, Dr. Death — real name Karl Hellfern — is convinced that he is Batman's nemesis despite his time as a villain having long since passed him by.

---

• Can't Catch Up: Jeremiah Arkham points out that, over the eight years that Dr. Death has been locked up in Arkham, Gotham's villains have long surpassed him in terms of skill and threat level.
• Card-Carrying Villain: He insists that he's the Number 1 villain in Gotham City. He's evil enough to back up that claim, but not nearly as infamous as he'd like to be.
• Cold Ham: His voice is too hoarse to go full Large Ham, but Karl is overdramatic enough to compensate for it.
• Dirty Coward: Jeremiah Arkham theorizes that Dr. Death hasn't made any effort to escape from Arkham because he's afraid that he won't be able to measure up to the other villains in terms of the threat level. Dr. Death then instigates a mass breakout of Arkham just to prove him wrong.
• Eviler than Thou: He insists that he's a more effective villain than the Joker, the Riddler, and Two-Face, all of whom he dismisses as incompetent freaks whose gimmicks hamper their efforts. Dr. Arkham counters that those villains' gimmicks are what give their villainy an extra edge and that Dr. Death just comes off as weak and ineffective in comparison.
• Evil Sounds Raspy: While he's not quite a low like many other villains, he speaks with a hoarse, wheezy voice.
• Forgettable Character: Dr. Arkham claims that Dr. Death has been locked up in Arkham for so long that the world has moved on without him — and Karl's generic Mad Scientist gimmick only makes him even more forgettable to the point where Jeremiah assumes that even Batman doesn't remember him.
• The Generic Guy: Jeremiah Arkham claims there's very little to Dr. Death's personality aside from being a typical Mad Scientist.
• Gratuitous German: He slips lots of German words into his sentences, referring to Batman as "the Fledermaus."
• Herr Doktor: As Arkham points out, Dr. Death has a thick German accent to go with his Mad Scientist aesthetic.
• Mad Scientist: He's an evil, megalomaniacal scientist with a penchant for deadly chemicals. Dr. Arkham even invokes and deconstructs this aspect of Dr. Death's character, saying that mad scientists are so overdone these days that he comes off looking generic.
• Nostalgia Filter: He derails his therapy session to wax nostalgic about the olden days when he was the most feared villain in Gotham. Jeremiah's exasperated reaction suggests that Dr. Death does this very often.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: He was a dangerous villain in his own right, but eight years behind bars plus the emergence of more dastardly rogues have left Dr. Death in the dust.
• Poirot Speak: He speaks mostly fluent English with a thick German accent and some German words here and there.
• Poison and Cure Gambit: Dr. Death recalls the time he unleashed a deadly mist upon Gotham and would only supply the antidote in exchange for $10 million.
• Rambling Old Man Monologue: His session opens with him expressing a desire to get out of Arkham, then segues into venting about how he's "wasting away," rambling on and on about the good old days when he was the top villain in Gotham, and disparaging the rogues that came before him. Jeremiah interrupts him with a Big "SHUT UP!".
  Jeremiah: I am so tired of your infernal babbling!
• Small Name, Big Ego: He believes himself to be the most powerful villain in Gotham, and gets angry and distressed when Jeremiah implies otherwise.
• Starter Villain: Discussed and deconstructed. Dr. Death loves to brag that he was the first supervillain Batman ever fought, only for Jeremiah Arkham to point out that Death's glory days are long behind him and he's become completely insignificant as other, better villains came after him.
• The Mentally Disturbed:
  Dr. Arkham: The patient suffers from psychopathy and delusions of grandeur.
• Vader Breath: All those years spent working around toxic chemicals haven't done wonders for his respiratory system.
• White-Dwarf Starlet: A twisted example; he loves to reminisce about the glory days when he was the most feared villain in Gotham, refuses to believe that he's not relevant anymore, and hates the other villains for stealing his spotlight.
  Jeremiah: Get over yourself, Karl! You're a loser, a has-been! Sure, you terrorized the entire city... eight years ago! I doubt even Batman remembers you now!
• You Meddling Kids: When talking about his Poison and Cure Gambit, Death claims he "would've gotten away with it, too, if only it wasn't for the Fledermaus."

Series Two

Joker

Alan Schneider, aka "The Joker"

Voiced by: Devon C. Taylor

---

• Adaptation Name Change: Joker's numerous backstories have given him names like Jack Napier, Arthur Fleck, Jeremiah Valeska, and Jack Oswald White. Arkham Patient Files gives him the name Alan Schneider.
• Ain't Too Proud to Beg: When Hugo Strange threatens to deem Joker untreatable and have him sent to Blackgate, he begs the doctor not to as they'll probably send him to the electric chair.
• Blatant Lies: When trying to come up with a reason to stay at Arkham, he fakes schizophrenia. It's incredibly transparent and Strange clearly isn't buying it. Eventually, even the Joker admits his performance is terrible and he would rather Face Death with Dignity than keep trying to fake it.
• Despair Event Horizon: Finding out that Batman had been exposed and arrested causes him to lose all will to live.
  • His second session reveals the reason why: he remembered who he used to be before he became the Joker. He's left unable to bear the guilt of his crimes, and asks Strange to declare him sane so he can receive the death penalty.
• "No. Just… No" Reaction: When Strange asks him for a favor in exchange for not deeming him untreatable, Joker says he won't perform sexual favors on Strange even to save his own life and suggests asking the Riddler or the Penguin. That isn't even remotely close to what Strange wanted and Joker knew it, and Strange instantly reacts this way to the suggestion.

Ventrioquist & Scarface

Arnold Wesker, also known as the "Ventriloquist"

Voiced by: Mr. Rogues

---

• Break the Haughty: Scarface starts the session as his usual self: brash, arrogant, and ill-tempered. But as Strange deconstructs him as a delusion of Wesker's stemming from self-loathing and a desire for escapism, Scarface "talks" less and less. He tries one last time to deny Strange's diagnosis but then falls silent as Wesker refuses to acknowledge him.
• Split Personality: Defied. Strange insists that since Wesker wasn't abused as a child, it's impossible that he would have manifested true Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Clayface

Basil Karlo, aka "Clayface"

Voiced by: Mr. Rogues

---

• Attention Whore: While he does want to act again, Clayface thinks it's not worth it if he can't have a starring role.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Clayface says he wouldn't kill Strange for no reason if let out of his dome. Strange thinks he's being sincere but doesn't want to take that chance.
• Only in It for the Money: Defied. Strange points out that if Clayface wanted money, he could just steal it.

Killer Moth

Drury Walker, aka "Killer Moth"

Voiced by: Daulton Morrison

---

• Animal Motifs: Moths. Unlike some animal-themed villains and heroes, Drury just picked the theme because he liked it.
• No-Respect Guy: He wasn't respected by anyone during his criminal debut, save for a few minor gangs. He genuinely did do well against the police when they tried to take him down, but Batman was another story.
• Once Done, Never Forgotten: He's not proud of his brief tenure as Killer Moth, and would like everyone to forget it ever happened. Sadly, that hasn't happened.
• Retired Monster: Well, he was never much of a monster, really, but Dr. Strange declares him sane and has him leave Arkham. Drury decides to find a city without a strong supervillain presence and move there to start over.

Killer Frost

Crystal Frost, aka "Killer Frost"

Voiced by: Kathryn Linzmaier

---

• Kill It with Ice: Her power. Paradoxically, she needs heat for it to function.
• Never My Fault: She thinks Firestorm keeps arresting her for no reason and seems that she doesn't actually believe she froze New York City, despite there being video footage.
• The Paranoiac: She got transferred to Arkham because she started fights over her paranoid delusions, killing Plastique and the psychiatrist at Belle Reve over perceived incidents that didn't actually happen. She also thinks Firestorm is stalking her.

Chronos

David Clinton, aka "Chronos"

Voiced by: Mr. Rogues

---

• Arch-Enemy: To the Atom.
• Evil Sounds Raspy: He speaks in a raspy whisper.
• Time Master: He can manipulate time, and uses his powers to mess with Dr. Strange.
• You Already Changed the Past: He admits time shouldn't really be messed with, as it's bad for the mind, but he has to do it anyway because he already did. And he's possibly also addicted to it.

Harley Quinn

Harleen Quinzel, aka "Harley Quinn"

Voiced by: Alyssa H.D.

---

• Adaptational Villainy: The main DCU incarnation of Harley is presented as only being a villain because of the poisonous influence of the Joker and Poison Ivy. This version may not be quite as bad as either of them, but she's still a very bad person.
• Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: This version of Harley freely admits that she isn't in love with the Joker and never has been, in stark contrast to every other incarnation of Harley in any DC media.
• Laughing Mad: Obviously. We are talking about Harley Quinn, after all.
• "Not So Different" Remark: Harley tells Strange that Jeremiah Arkham was no different from the inmates he treated.
• The Unfettered: Harley feels at her most free when she's committing crimes.

Mr. Freeze

Victor Fries, aka "Mr. Freeze"

Voiced by: Joey L

---

• Death Seeker: He wants very badly to die. Eventually, Dr. Strange takes pity on him and grants his wish.
• That Man Is Dead: He claims that the true Victor Fries died with Nora.
• Was Once a Man: He views himself as no longer human because of his condition.
• Who Wants to Live Forever?: He's The Ageless and hates it.

Batman

Bruce Wayne, aka the "Batman"

Voiced by: Dante Graves

---

Series Three

The Cavalier

Mortimer Drake, aka "The Cavalier"

Voiced by: Bradley Wilkes

---

• Composite Character: His real name is Mortimer Drake but he's a vigilante like the Hudson Pyle version.
• Hope Bringer: He wants to be this for Gotham in a way that Batman never really was.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: He gives a doozy of a one to Hugo Strange.
• You Monster!: To him, the Penguin doesn't even qualify as human because of his sex trafficking.

Dollmaker

Barton Mathis, aka "The Dollmaker"

Voiced by: Unknown

---

• Adaptational Nice Guy: He would just kidnap children and dress them up as dolls, as opposed to the comics counterpart that would mutilate them.
• Freudian Excuse: His mental development was stunted by his overly controlling mother, who never let him leave the house and would dress him up as a doll.
• Psychopathic Manchild: Probably the biggest example in this series, he is obsessed with collecting dolls and has very childlike speech.

Catman

Thomas Blake, aka the "Catman"

Voiced by: Oscar Stävemyr

---

• Casanova Wannabe: States that he wants to have sex with Catwoman and Batwoman, although it's clear they haven't been interested.

• Cluster F-Bomb: Drops a few F-Bombs near the end of his session.
• Jerkass: A unapologetic, foul-mouthed criminal and murderer.
• Thrill Seeker: His stated reason for committing crimes.

Magpie

Margaret Pye, aka "Magpie"

Voiced by: Crowbirdies.

---

• Spoiled Brat: She is wealthy and acts like a bored teenager during her session.
• Thieving Magpie: She was called a magpie due to her kleptomania.
