The Legion of Doom

In General

---

• Card-Carrying Villain: All of them are completely open about their villainy.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Doctor Psycho is expelled for calling Wonder Woman the C-word. This also counts as Skewed Priorities, because they don't seem to care that he kept Giganta hypnotized.
• Legion of Doom: The Trope Namer. A collective of supervillains who teamed up to counter the Justice League.
• Poke the Poodle: They're so evil that they don't validate parking.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: The higher-ups in the Legion display some pretty sexist behavior, as the scarcity of female supervillains in their ranks can attest to, yet apparently Doctor Psycho saying the C-word is the line they're not willing to cross (though as it turns out, neither would Darkseid).
• Punch-Clock Villain: Their entire schtick. In this show, being a supervillain is like a career path one can pursue, and in that vein the Legion of Doom is a fancy big-time corporation that other villains hope to be able to join to prove they've made "the big leagues". They have meetings to discuss evil plans and if the Legion should devote resources to a member's plan or not, have a pool of henchmen they can request or be loaned out for schemes, and even have a coffee lounge where they gossip like co-workers. When Scarecrow gives Harley's crew a tour of the Legion headquarters, it's framed like a company executive showing some new trainees around the office. And in the spirit of the trope, most of them have normal lives outside being supervillains that they return to when they're "off-hours".
• Skewed Priorities: Although they expelled Dr. Psycho for being a misogynist, they only did it because he said the C-word, but they don't seem to care that he had Giganta as a hypnotized girlfriend.
• Uncertain Doom:
  • The Joker blew up the Legion of Doom headquarters at the end of Season 1 and talks about the Legion like it's been destroyed, but no bodies are shown or specific deaths confirmed, so any number of the Legion's members could have survived or just been out of the building at the time.
  • Bane, Penguin, the Riddler, and Two-Face return in Season 2 — with new addition Mr. Freeze — to form their new organization, the "Injustice League".
  • Luthor later turns up just fine in Season 2's Episode 9, during an operation to take over Themyscira.
  • Several more members turn up as guests at Ivy's (aborted) wedding, so we can assume that few if any were casualties of Joker's coup.
  • As of Season 4, it turns out that the rebuilt Legion of Doom pretty much has the same lineup of supervillains as before, with Lex giving the reigns over to Poison Ivy, so the damage caused by Joker’s scheme is negligible at best. However, the feud between Luthor and Ivy boils over, causing Luthor to be banished to Apokolips by Steppenwolf and the main Legion headquarters (as well as several subsidiaries) being blasted to bits by Ivy using Luthor’s laser weapon. It once again appears that the primary L.O.D. membership managed to escape unscathed thanks to an evacuation order broadcasted by Batgirl, but with the main leadership dismantled and their assets reduced to irradiated dust, the future of the villainous conglomerate again remains in question.
• Weird Trade Union: They function similar to this, including kicking out offending members publicly and sharing resources. See Punch-Clock Villain above.

The Joker

The Joker

Voiced by: Alan Tudyk

The Clown Prince of Crime, Batman's Arch-Nemesis, and Harley's abusive ex. The show kicks off with Harley getting sick of Joker mistreating her and she leaves him to make a go of things solo. However, the Joker still holds a powerful emotional sway over Harley that influences her decisions, and he personally can't stand the idea of Harley leaving him and becoming successful on her own. This coupled with the fact he's one of the biggest names in supervillainy in the DC universe, and Joker and Harley have a very complex, antagonistic relationship.

---

• Ace Custom: A lot, if not, all of the Joker's weapons and gear have his color motifs (green and purple) or his face on them.
• Acid Attack: He primarily uses acid as his main weapon, often to disolve his victim alive.
• Adaptational Attractiveness: During Season 2 when he's sane, amnesiac, and normal-looking, he's surprisingly handsome and fit. Every other occasion where he's depicted to have a normal appearance, he's always shown ranging from ordinary looking to utterly nerdy.
• Adaptational Jerkass: He's even worse towards Harley here than he is in comic books. Joker is just as abusive and emotionally manipulative as normal, but his ego is so big that the thought of Harley choosing to dump him drives him up the wall. Joker thus takes greater pains to keep her around when the risk presents itself. His usual view of Harley is that she's a useful minion, but otherwise is as ambivalent about whether she leaves or not as he is about anything else. He tries killing her more out of principle than out of personal grievance, though the latter is certainly part of it.
• Adaptational Nice Guy: He's mellowed out considerably after briefly losing his memories, and he genuinely comes to love both Bethany and her kids, even if he still wants to continue living the life of a murderous supervillain. He also gives genuine advice to Harley regarding her relationship with Ivy. Compared to his comic book self in Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight where he went sane and found love with a woman... only to completely regress back to being a homicidal monster while totally abandoning his new lover, this incarnation of Joker at least comes off as having become a mildly better person after regaining his memories.
• Affably Evil: In Season 3, he's still a proud supervillain at heart, but now he's also a loving Family Man and a decent citizen who even tries to be nice to his new Sitcom Arch-Nemesis.
• Alpha Bitch: Acts like every other villain — even heavy-hitters like Two-Face, the Scarecrow, Bane and the Penguin — is part of his devoted entourage or personal goon squad, and orders them around and mistreats them without any regard to their feelings, just because he's considered the #1 criminal in Gotham. Harley embarrasses him by publicly calling him out for being such a dick in "A High Bar", even referring to his behavior as bullying; although he tries to laugh the situation off, the others agree with her that he can be pretty cruel at times.
• Ambiguously Bi: He is Harley's ex, but his relationship with Batman is treated romantically. Harley is also not convinced when he denies having sex with Bane and the Scarecrow. He also ends up falling in love and living with a nurse named Bethany, and stays with her even after his memories have been restored.
• Amnesiacs are Innocent: Season 2 shows that being dunked into his own memory-wiping acid turned him into a kindhearted, normal everyman who genuinely cares about his girlfriend and her kids, pretty much the opposite of his usual persona, with no memory of being a supervillain.
• Arch-Enemy:
  • Batman, as usual. In fact The Joker is so obsessed with being Batman’s main enemy that he actually takes offense at Harley attempting to replace him as such for Batman.
  • He's also this to Harley Quinn. Joker abused and manipulated Harley when she was his underling, with season 1 revolving around Harley trying to get out of the Joker's shadow after breaking up with him, while the Joker attempts to outdo Harley at every turn when he’s unable to control her, eventually culminating in the two trying to kill each other in the finale. While their mutual enmity seemingly mellows out after Harley brings back the Joker, her hatred for him returns in season 4 when Joker cripples Barbara Gordon in front of Harley, whom Harley had befriended.
• Arc Villain: The Joker is the main antagonist of Season 1 as Harley comes to grips with life outside of their relationship. He still tries to get her back, and when that fails, tries to kill her as punishment for daring to leave him.
• Armor-Piercing Question: While he points out how Ivy is manipulating Harley towards her own goals like he used to, the Joker brings up one important question that calls Harley's true feelings about Ivy's ambitions into question: when has Harley ever forgotten her baseball bat?
• Attention Whore: He doesn't like any other villain hogging up the news spotlight. Harley doing it just rubs salt in the wound.
• Ax-Crazy: As per the norm with the Joker, he's sadistic, unpredictable, and kills almost anyone near him (even his own men) without any thought or reason, even labeling himself an "agent of chaos".
• Bad Boss: He shoots and blows up his own goons whenever he feels annoyed or bored.
• Badass in a Nice Suit: As is usual for the character, the Joker takes charge as an A-list villain in a sharp purple suit and tie.
• Bait the Dog: Throughout most of "A Seat at the Table", Joker treats Harley with respect, acknowledges her accomplishments, and acts as if he finally takes her seriously as a fellow supervillain instead of a disposable minion. Near the end, he does what Harley always dreamed about by taking her with him to escape from Batman instead of leaving her behind... And then pushes Harley out of the helicopter. As Batman says to Harley, some things never change.
  Joker: Oh, Harley! I couldn't leave you on that boat, I need you... for this.
  [Joker kisses Harley, and then sees the Batwing fly close by]
  Joker: AND THIS!
  [throwing Harley off the helicopter, the Joker laughs maniacally as he watches her descent]
• The Bartender: His sane self shows up working as a bartender in season 2.
• Being Good Sucks: While his attempt to become a (slightly) better person was genuine, even if he was only doing it for his newfound family, he realizes in season 4 how boring it is for him to be a decent and competent mayor. Sure enough, it doesn't take much for The Joker to return to villainy after killing the gardener annoying him.
• Berserk Button: Scarecrow unmasking Batman makes him absolutely furious, completely going off on him, ranting that half the fun of their rivalry was the fact that no one knew who Batman was.
  Joker: Now I know Batman's just some boring rich asshole with parental issues.
• Big Bad Wannabe: The Joker become this for Season 4 when his attempts to regain his infamy backfire. The Joker is unable to kill Nightwing, instead taking credit for the murder, which leads to the rest of the villains losing respect for him when they learn the truth. While he does manage to cripple Barbara Gordon, he is easily dealt with in the next episode, and it is ultimately Lex Luthor who becomes the biggest threat to Harley.
• Brought Down to Normal: In "The Final Joke" he makes a chemical bath to erase Harley's memories and distinctive bleached skin, to turn her into a "nobody" he won't have to care about anymore. At the end of the episode, Harley and Ivy throw him into it instead, reducing him to his regular amnesiac Pre-Joker rather than the Clown Prince of Crime.
• The Bully: He takes every chance he gets trying to belittle, upstage, sabotage, and/or humiliate Harley. He does this whether she's attending a bar mitzvah or stealing a nuclear warhead from the Russians. He's hardly any better to his peers in the Legion of Doom, as he casually bosses them around, insults them to their faces, and steals food right off their plates. With Harley, It's Personal for having the audacity to dump him.
• Bullying a Dragon: Insults and orders around his fellow villains but especially Bane-who could snap him in half without Venom. Clearly they only put up with him out of fear, until Harley points out that he has no powers whatsoever, and they don't have to listen to him.
• Cannot Tell a Joke: While he still gets a few good ones, this incarnation of the Joker is just plain bad at most of his jokes. The media consider Riddler funnier, and he can't stand it when Harley says one of his stories is hilarious but doesn't laugh. At one point, he explains to a captive Gotham that his off-screen henchmen found his last joke funny, though no laughter could be heard.
• The Confidant: The sane Joker, of all people, is the one who offers to lend an ear to Harley's love life problems with Ivy.
• Consummate Liar: Whenever the Joker makes a confession or promise, especially to Harley, you can be sure he's telling lies to manipulate her. As Ivy says, the Joker always lies should be surprise to no one but Harley.
• Crazy Jealous Guy: When he finds out Batman didn't come to stop him from robbing a bank because he's fighting Harley, he gets pissed off at Harley trying to steal "his" Batman.
• Dirty Communists: Parodied. Joker's mayoral platform is explicitly leftist, but it's unremarkable "sewer socialism" that aims to benefit the city through stronger infrastructure and civic programs (universal health care, bilingual schooling), paid for by higher taxation on Gotham's many wealthy citizens. Though he makes a show of direct wealth distribution, his campaign being structured like a reign of terror is completely unrelated to any ideology; it's just because he's the Joker. And, conversely, though he's pretty callous in breaking the news to Gordon, abolishing the police department isn't even revenge on Jim or a pretense to commit crime — it IS ideological.
  Suave: You want the rich to pay for all this? Are you, like, a socialist?
  Joker: I'm not like a socialist...
  [He grins at the camera as a comically overblown scare chord plays]
  Joker: I AM a socialist.
• Does Not Like Spam: He cannot stand raisins. When Harley gave him pudding full of chocolate chips in "Til Death Do Us Part", he is so riled up by the Riddler's newfound infamy that he is quick to assume the pudding has raisins instead and shoots it to crumbs.
• Domestic Abuse: During his entire relationship with Harley, he emotionally manipulated, lied, and repeatedly abandoned her. Harley put up with it for so long because she deluded herself into thinking he loved her. This lasts until Joker doesn't hesitate to drop her into what both think is acid just so the Riddler doesn't take the credit for killing Batman. It pisses Joker off so much when she finally leaves him that he sics his goons on her (which only leads to his men getting killed and his evil lair destroyed). In any case, the Joker is presented as an abuser, and that it's a good thing that Harley is getting away from him.
• The Dreaded: Why he can act like an Alpha Bitch and order around even Gotham A-Listers like they're cannon fodder — he pretty clearly scares the hell out of them. It doesn't last though, when Harley points out to the other Gotham supervillains that he's being a bully to people stronger than him.
• Even Evil Can Be Loved: Bethany and her two children love him and happily accept him as part of their family even after he's turned back evil. Joker returns the love by being a loving husband and father while still being a maniac.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Even after returning to his original evil self, Joker still loves Bethany and her kids. He admits nothing will ever change him being a murderous psycho, but he has found people he truly cares about for the first time. After returning to villainy, he balances his life with being a good husband and father.
• Even Evil Has Standards:
  • He's genuinely disturbed at Commissioner Gordon's Sanity Slippage because in his eyes, all he did was "paralyze" his "partner". Now keep in mind that he intended to drive Gordon crazy in the source material, so either this was not the amount of crazy he aimed for or this was collateral damage for something that happened along the way.
  • He complains about the Queen of Fables indulging in alcohol, saying it's only Wednesday.
  • He complains to Bruce Wayne about Wayne Tech not having yet delivered their promised electric cars despite having put down a deposit, meaning not only is Joker environmentally conscious enough to drive an electric car, but he was also willing to pay for it rather than steal one.
  • He expresses disgust to Gordon for Two-Face, Gordon's campaign manager, taking his son hostage and threatening to kill him.
• Evil Feels Good: Despite trying to become a somewhat better person for Bethany the Joker reminiscences about his past life as a villain after finding his new occupation as Mayor of Gotham City to be boring and enjoys killing the gardener boring him so much so that he decides to return to his villainous ways and is ecstatic that he is able to convince his new family to follow him in this kind of thinking.
• Evil Is Petty: After becoming mayor of Gotham in season three, he has the favorite parking space of a Rich Bitch who was rude to him designated as the exclusive parking space of Gotham's mayor.
• Evil Laugh: He wouldn't be the Joker without it.
• Evil Parents Want Good Kids: Even though he's Gotham's top supervillain, all he wants for his stepchildren is good education and a bright future.
• Ex-Big Bad: Joker was the main antagonist of the first season, but he spent all of the second season as an Amnesiac Generic Guy, then in season three became a semi-reformed Family Man. Though he can still be a threat and Harley is vehemently against him being mayor of Gotham, his relationship with Harley has mellowed to the point that she can casually ask him for advice about other criminals in Gotham now. Even when he decides to go back to his villainous ways, he is treated more as a Big Bad Wannabe that nobody fears or respects.
• Family-Values Villain: As an amnesiac, Joker finds himself a nice girlfriend and loves her two kids as if they were his own. After Harley turns him back into his evil self, Joker still loves his new family and does his best to be a good suburban dad for them, even though he doesn't give up his loony streak.
• Faux Affably Evil: He can act nice when he wants to, but it's plainly obvious that said niceness is simply his way of mocking others.
• Foe Romance Subtext: As Harley notes, the Joker "only loves Batman". In one episode, he breaks into a fight between Harley and Batman and raves at her about trying to steal "his Batman" and proclaims on national television that he and Batman are "together".
• The Friend Nobody Likes: Despite his status as #1 criminal in Gotham, most if not all the rest of the rogues fear or just straight-up dislike him either because of his Domestic Abuse on Harley, or just because he's a dick. To illustrate this trope, when Harley jokes with the Scarecrow, Two-Face, and Bane, they laugh in genuine humor. But when the Joker mocks Harley, their laughs sound more forced.
• Good Feels Good: Played with. After losing his memories, he spends an idyllic six months as a Nice Guy suburban dad. When he gets his memories back, he decides that it was a much better and healthier lifestyle than his previous one... and decided to be both an ideal husband and father with a loving family and an A-list supervillain. In Season 3, he's actually making it work. Eventually subverted in season 4 when he realizes Being Good Sucks and goes back to being a villain.
• Good Stepmother: A male example. He really loves his girlfriend's children and they quickly accept him because he got them a puppy. Impressively, he manages to keep it going even after he gets his previous memories back and becomes a supervillain again.
• Hate Sink: Since this series is the story of Harley Quinn breaking free of Joker's grip on her, he's made as despicable as possible to heighten the catharsis of her triumphs. The Joker's Domestic Abuser traits are ramped up to make him a misogynistic asshole who treats Harley like a piece of property, to say nothing of his hatred for women in general. He's a raging narcissist who makes everything about himself and cares for no one else, and the usual dominance and fear he evokes in his fellow supervillains is framed like a petty Alpha Bitch bossing around their cronies. And he also retains his usual shtick of being a mass-murdering cackling psychopath. All of this is done with the intention of making Joker unsympathetic and make Harley's victories more meaningful. He drops several of his more unpleasant traits upon his return in season 2. He's still a mass-murdering psychopath, but his time with Bethany while amnesiac makes him realize what true love is. He also no longer is focused on or seemingly even interested in claiming Harley like property. Rather shockingly, he veers completely away from this in Season 3, as he becomes a legitimate family man who genuinely loves his new girlfriend and step-children, even if he hasn't completely given up on committing crimes.
• Heel–Face Revolving Door: After recovering from his amnesia Joker sticks to being a loving husband and stepfather to the family that took him in rather than return to his supervillain lifestyle, losing his Politically Incorrect Villain traits and successfully running for mayor to combat racism in schools. He's still considered enough of a supervillain to host the Villy Awards and robs banks as part of his mayoral campaign, but has so far not (intentionally) murdered anyone, even going so far as to stop Gordon from killing Two-Face. Come season 4, he decides to return to villainy, and he convinces his new family to join him.
• He's Back!: In the Season 2 finale, Harley reluctantly shoves a sane amnesiac Joker into the acid vat in order to restore his memories, being that only the Joker knows where the Justice League is being imprisoned. Luckily, his six months of amnesia left an impression, and while he's still a highly dangerous supervillain, he's much less of a jerk.
  • And again in Season 4, when he announces his return to villainy by claiming he killed Nightwing, later revealed to be a lie.
• Hero Killer: Like in many continuities, it's established that he has killed the second Robin Jason Todd. He also claims to have killed Nightwing offscreen, though Barbara quickly proves that he was lying about killing Nightwing.
• Hijacked by Ganon:
  • In the second half of the first season, the focus shifted from him to Lex Luthor as the main villain, as Luthor is the one manipulating Harley and Ivy and is implied to be behind the abduction of Ivy via the Scarecrow. Then the penultimate episodes of the season reveals the Scarecrow was actually working for him, and he blows up the Legion of Doom and becomes the Final Boss of the season.
  • Subverted in the second season. Harley reverses his amnesia in a Godzilla Threshold moment to help deal with Dr. Psycho, but rather than becoming the new Big Bad (as one would normally expect from him), he's been changed enough by his time without his memories to remain a help rather than a hindrance. They even part on reasonably cordial terms once she no longer needs his assistance.
• Hypocritical Humor: He says women cannot be funny, meanwhile his favorite movie is Legally Blonde.
  • After successfully stealing a nuclear bomb Harley failed to make off with, Harley accuses him of only being successful because he has a bunch of goons who do whatever he says. The Joker denies this, and then orders his goons to throw Harley out the door, and they respond "Whatever you say."
• I Gave My Word: The only good thing that can be said about him was that he kept his promise and released Harley's crew when she turned herself over to him and wore her old costume.
• I Love You Because I Can't Control You: When he was with Harley, he only used her as a plaything for mind games and abuse because she was fascinated with the famous killer clown and believed anything he told her that would make her feel needed. With his new girlfriend Bethany, he met and fell in love with her when he was an amnesiac average Joe and her headstrong personality won't ever let him manipulate her like he did with Harley.
• Irony: In most of the history of the franchise, it's an established fact that Joker cares nothing for Harley and is solely fixated on Batman. Here for the bulk of season 1 Joker cares more about getting back at Harley while being as apathetic towards his nemesis as he usually is to Harley even when he has him dead to rights.
• It's All About Me: Batman and Harley describe him as a sociopathic narcissist, and his portrayal in the show embodies both the sociopath and the narcissist. He forces people to go along with whatever he's doing, and what upsets him more than anything else is Harley getting away from him to be her own superperson, whether heroic or villainous. Even regarding Batman, he doesn't give a damn who he is or why he exists, only that he exists for his own rivalry and amusement. This seems to no longer be the case after he regains his memories, as the affection he developed towards Bethany and her kids while sane remained even though he has no intentions of turning back from being a supervillain.
• Jerkass: He's a slimy, spiteful and manipulative misogynist who verbally abuses even the villains he calls friends. and murders his own henchmen at random.
• Karma Houdini Warranty: After being brought back by Harley, The Joker gets a happy life with a family who loves him, becomes Mayor of Gotham City, and manages to defeat his Arch-Enemy by having him arrested for tax evasion, all while receiving no punishment for his past actions in season 1… that is, until season 4. The Joker becomes completely bored with his new life and success, the rest of the villains lose their respect and fear of him, Batgirl humiliates him on a podcast, and eventually Harley kidnaps the Joker and hands him over to Jim Gordon so that he can get his revenge on The Joker for crippling his daughter.
• Kavorka Man: Despite his clownish looks, he is able to charm women to him, not easily but good enough.
• Kick the Dog: He shoots and cripples Batgirl towards the end of Season 4.
• Kill and Replace: The very first scene of the series shows him killing a guy and making a literal bodysuit out of his skin.
• Laughing Mad: He's usually less prone to it than other versions, but any chance he gets to do something exceptionally cruel to others really sets him off; after murdering Ivy with a harpoon and seeing Harley break down in tears, he can barely do anything but cackle at her grief.
• Lost Pet Grievance: His Freudian Excuse story has his Abusive Dad killing his beloved pet ferret. Of course, it's a subversion because that story was actually about Ivy's ficus and Joker just stole it to buy Harleen's sympathy.
• Love Epiphany: He starts bringing up his relationship with Bethany seemingly just to taunt Harley about it only to realize mid-thought that he actually was in love with her.
• Love Is a Weakness: In the Season Finale, he claims he was in love with Harley, which he views as a weakness that he must eliminate. His time while amnesiac with Bethany makes him realize what true love is upon his return in season two.
• Love Redeems: He doesn't plan to quit being a supervillain, but falling in love with Bethany and becoming a stepfather to her children has significantly softened him by season 3. He lives as a suburban dad who tries to get along with everyone for the sake of his family and only robs a bank as part of his campaign when he decides to run for mayor for the sake of improving his stepchildren's education.
• Made of Iron: Survived both a chemical bathe, and being at the center of a city leveling earthquake.
• Makeup Is Evil: Harley says he always stole her lipstick. He also seems to wear eyeshadow.
• Mayor Pain: Shockingly subverted when he becomes Gotham's new mayor in Season 3. Despite him having been a mass-murdering psychopath just two seasons ago, he actually genuinely works to reform Gotham for the better and is adored by the public for it.
• Monster Clown: Wouldn't be the Joker without it. He still maintains his usual shtick of flowers that shoot acid, bad jokes, and deadly pranks. However, these traits are toned down in favor of his Jerkass and Domestic Abuser behavior.
• Mundane Solution: How does The Joker finally defeat Batman after spending all this time fighting him? Get Batman arrested for tax evasion while he’s still under his civilian identity, Bruce Wayne. Though to Joker’s credit, he might not have been able to do this before becoming mayor and learning about Batman's secret identity really Scarecrow.
• Narcissist: Referred to as one by Harley and Batman. All the Joker cares about is himself, getting what he wants and having all the power and attention of Gotham for himself. His relationship with Bethany ends up pushing him out of it, giving him people he actually cares about more than his own wants.
• No Honor Among Thieves: Forced Harley to fend off Batman to buy him enough time to escape and never even bothered to come back for her despite his promises to do so.
• Not Me This Time: It turns out that he didn’t actually kill Nightwing despite insisting that he did, but rather it was an insomniac Harley Quinn.
• "Not So Different" Remark: At the end of Season 3, Joker tells Ivy that her treatment of Harley isn't that much different or less toxic from how he emotionally manipulated her and dragged her into a life of crime she didn't really want, even if Ivy does love Harley and isn't intentionally controlling her like he did. Although Ivy wanted to believe she and Harley are a villain couple of equals, she realizes Joker might be right since Harley has been acting more like a hero than a villain lately yet she's forcing herself to follow Ivy's villainous ambitions because she doesn't want to lose her.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: While he does become a Big Bad Wannabe in Season 4 who loses the respect of his previous peers, especially after Batgirl reveals to the world that he didn’t actually kill Nightwing, he’s still, The Joker, who can easily become a dangerous threat if pushed too far. He did murder an innocent gardener for simply boring him while also managing to cripple Barbara as revenge for humiliating him in a podcast.
• The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: He would readily choose to have his Perky Female Minion killed before letting another supervillain have the glory of killing his Arch-Nemesis Batman.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: He's in such a funk over Harley that when he tortures Batman and murders the Scarecrow, he's just bored.
• Papa Wolf: A psychopath Monster Clown he may be, he's a good step-father to his girlfriend's children and will not let any harm aimed towards them slide. When Two-Face kidnaps Benicio, the Joker rushes to the rescue in a heartbeat and was ready to drop the elections for Mayor for his safety.
• Politically Correct Villain: His Character Development by the third season has him becoming more progressive. He is disgusted with Debbie Shirley for being a racist Karen, advocates for his Hispanic girlfriend's children to get a bilingual education so they can stay in touch with their cultural roots and successfully runs for mayor of Gotham City on a socialist platform, with his policies focused on helping the working class and providing the incarcerated with more humane treatment. In "The Horse and the Sparrow", he is also considerate enough to acknowledge the existence of non-binary people when he says "Ladies and gentlemen", plus the tie-in comic miniseries Legion of Bats shows him officiating an interracial gay wedding.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: As well as his long history of abusing Harley, the Joker is shown to be pretty slimy and misogynistic in general; when one of his henchmen suggests Harley is the funniest criminal in Gotham, he repeatedly shoots the guy in the chest, saying "women aren't funny" with the same dismissive tone a chauvanistic stand-up comedian might use when talking about female comics.
• Pride: His defining trait. The Joker won't ever accept anyone as his equal and has zero respect for his minions and other supervillains. Harley dumping him infuriates him because she's his "creation" and he won't ever accept her gaining independence from him. Even when pretending to praise Harley, he won't call her better than him.
• Psychopathic Manchild: At his core, he's an overgrown, attention-seeking brat whose favorite game is brutally massacring people and playing with their minds.
• Redemption Failure: In Season 4, he starts to find the job of a benign mayor boring compared to his villainy days and reverts to his evil ways by killing an innocent citizen for fun.
• Refreshingly Normal Life-Choice: After being cured of his physical and mental abnormalities in the Season One finale, The Joker lives his life as a boring, but compassionate amnesiac living out domestic bliss with a girlfriend and her two kids. After Harley "cures" him of this in "A Fight Worth Fighting For", he breaks up with her, only to realize that he actually found genuine love and apologizes to her, deciding to go back to being Joker while also enjoying a life with a family.
• Retired Monster: The Joker gives up on his previous life of villainy to become a family man before becoming a surprisingly competent mayor for Gotham City despite the fact he never showed any regret or remorse for all the atrocities that he had committed during that time. In fact, he actually reminiscences on his villainous days in season 4 and finds his newfound life to be so boring that he decides to come out of retirement and become a villain again.
• Secret Identity Apathy: His already foul mood in "The Final Joke" is made considerably worse when the Scarecrow rips off Batman's cowl, as "half the fun" of their rivalry was not knowing that Batman was "some boring rich asshole with parental issues". Even after killing Scarecrow and still having Bruce at his mercy, rather than twist the knife over his enemy's childhood trauma, he just goes off on a petty rant about how WayneTech hasn't delivered on an electric car they promised last year.
• The Sociopath: Pretty much standard for the Joker. He talks about the horrible things he does with a blase demeanor, treats violence as a joke, manipulates Harley, is incredibly prideful, treats his own minions like they're disposable (if he doesn't outright kill them himself for petty reasons), is unpredictably violent, bullies his own colleagues, and shows no remorse for anything he does. Both Batman and Harley describe him as a "sociopathic narcissist" in the Season One finale. He's still a violent serial killer upon his return in season two, but he actually seems to edge a bit away from this trope by wishing to maintain his connection with Bethany and her kids, seemingly showing that he's developed the capacity to care about other people.
• Split-Personality Takeover: Played With. At the end of the first Season Finale, the Joker is rendered an amnesiac and completely sane. In season 2, Harley finds him as a normal man, but his original evil personality is still there, just dormant. The Joker's personality effectively regains full control after Harley pushes him into a chemical bath so that he can remember the location of the imprisoned Justice League. It's Played With because while he tries to convince others that his normal persona meant nothing, the love that he developed for his new family as a normal man comes rushing back after he becomes the Joker again.
• The Starscream: It's revealed in "Devil's Snare" that he plotted with the Scarecrow and the Queen of Fables to destroy the Legion of Doom and replace it with an organization devoted entirely to him.
• Status Quo Is God: Played With. In Season 2, Joker becomes a sane amnesiac. He's back to being the Joker by the end of Season 2, but he's irreversibly changed by his experiences with Bethany and her children, becoming much less concerned with supervillainy and more with being a good stepfather and mayor.
• Stealing the Credit: To make it back quickly to the top of the supervillain world, he claims to have killed Nightwing. This is later revealed to be a lie and the real killer was Harley.
• Sticky Bomb: His favored weapon seems to be sticky explosive discs with his face plastered on them. His use of them actually causes his downfall in the first episode, as Harley steals a few from a crate full of them to destroy his hideout.
• Taking You with Me: Tries to inflict this on Harley, Ivy, Batman and seemingly all of Gotham as his final criminal act before his Death of Personality.
• Took a Level in Kindness: A very minor but noticeable one upon his return in season two. He's still a Jerkass and serial killer, but he seems to no longer be obsessed with possessing Harley, considering that he gives her some legitimate advice regarding her relationship with Poison Ivy. He also still wants to make his relationship with Bethany and her kids work, while he originally was completely obsessed with himself and Batman. It ends up being culminative by Season 3, as he's begun prioritizing his family's well-being over traditional supervillainy. The worst he does is commit robberies in order to fund his mayoral campaign. Even after Two-Face kidnaps and tries to kill his stepson, Joker stops Gordon and Bethany from killing him.
• Troubled, but Cute: What attracted Harley to him was believing the possibility that he was a human being traumatized in his childhood and in need of her help. Hearing his Freudian Excuse story with an Abusive Parent made her think she was right about him until Ivy reveals he simply stole her Freudian Excuse to buy Harley's sympathy.
• Truer to the Text: In a weird way, him getting other his Straw Misogynist characterization and becoming a Politically Correct Villain after his amnesia had this effect, since in most depictions The Joker is a Misanthrope Supreme who would never single out one group of people as being inferior to another because he sees' all life as equally inferior.
• Understatement: He "paralyzed" Commissioner Gordon's "partner" and he's not sure why the commissioner's gone so crazy from it.
• Universally Beloved Leader: Surprisingly, even though he has been the worst supervillain in Gotham City for years, Joker manages to win over the public during his mayoral campaign and the citizens adore him.
• Vague Age: The Scarecrow specifically says the Joker is 38 years old while the Clown Prince himself swears that off, saying he is only 25 years old. That goes in hand with the eternal mythos that he will never have a definitive background, and later with the updated lore that there might be even more than one person being the Joker.
• Victory Is Boring: Once he has imprisoned Batman and exposed his identity in the Season 1 finale, he finds him boring and loses interest. That said, at the time this happens he is more obsessed with breaking Harley, enough so that it overrides even his rivalry with Batman.
• Villainous Breakdown: In the Season 1 finale, being faced with turning back to normal leaves him begging for his life.
• With Friends Like These...: Even among the villains he calls his friends, the Joker is casually rude and verbally abusive, and they just take it until Harley convinces them to stand up to him. He also kills Scarecrow without second thought when he unmasks Batman to improve the Joker's mood.

Lex Luthor

Lex Luthor

Voiced by: Giancarlo Esposito

Superman's Arch-Enemy, CEO of LexCorp, and leader of the Legion of Doom.

---

• Adaptational Dumbass: In the comics Lex is a tenth level intellect, meaning he's smarter than everyone else on the planet put together by an order of magnitude. Here he needs to have someone tell him the conversion between centimeters and feet.
• Ambiguously Brown: He has a slightly tan complexion and pronounced lips and is voiced by an actor of African-American descent. It's left in the air if he's meant to reflect his voice actor's ethnicity, or if he's meant to be Greek like his Superman: The Animated Series counterpart.
• Arch-Enemy
  • Superman, as usual. In fact, Lex Luthor hates Superman so much that he blocks out the sun for Earth, which causes the apocalypse in the Bad Future just to depower Superman before abducting him so he can steal his powers, cape, and hair.
  • Lex also reaches this status with Ivy. Lex’s grudge against Ivy is a result of her constant refusal to join his Legion of Doom, and when Ivy finally does so, she manages to upstage him at every turn, causing Lex to hate Ivy as much as Superman (if not more so), to the point where the first thing he does after obtaining Superman’s powers is to humiliate Ivy at his birthday party. The feeling is mutual for Ivy, as she hates Lex Luthor for straining her friendship with Harley in Season 1, robs Ivy of her life source (the sun), enjoys upstaging him whenever she can, and makes it her top priority to stop Lex for good when she learns that he has obtained Superman’s powers.
• Arc Villain: Lex is the main antagonist of Season 4. While one could argue that he's part of a Big Bad Ensemble with The Joker and Talia Al Ghul, Lex takes center stage as the biggest threat of said season after blocking out the sun, causing an apocalyptic Bad Future in the process, and stealing Superman's powers. The Joker is reduced to being a Big Bad Wannabe in the midst of all this and Talia serves as an indirect Greater-Scope Villain.
• Bald of Evil: As typical, he doesn't have a single hair on his head. It's implied that he's insecure about his baldness, since he starts trying to grow hair after Ivy shows him up, and succeeds in having four more hairs than he usually has. In "Killer's Block", he not only steals Superman's powers and cape for himself, but his full head of hair as well.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He wouldn't be Lex if he wasn't this. In "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.", he acts nothing but gracious and polite to Harley, while secretly scheming to use her to force Ivy to join the Legion.
• Card-Carrying Villain: When he appears on the news to kick Doctor Psycho out of the Legion of Doom, he mentions Psycho does not represent the Legion's brand of evil.
• Comically Serious: Much of the humor revolving around him comes from reacting to series' wacky situations with a straight face.
• Compensating for Something: Lex needs to flaunt his wealth so badly, else Superman might feel superior to him. Clark Kent isn't impressed by his daily routine of bathing in baby seal blood and getting dressed by four identically named sycophants who compliment him endlessly.
• Even Evil Has Standards: He kicks Doctor Psycho out of the Legion of Doom after he calls Wonder Woman and Giganta the C-word. Not that he respects women that much, but he at least has the decency to not insult them on national television.
• Evil Counterpart: Despite being Superman's Arch-Enemy, Lex himself can be considered this to Bruce Wayne, both being public billionaires of their own cities and both are the only normals of their supergroups with Luthor being one of the villains.
• Evil Is Petty: It wouldn't be Lex otherwise. In season 3 he tries to have the mayor killed over a new 0.5% tax on evil lairs, while in season 4, under the guise of restoring the ozone layer, he blocks out the sun for the sole purpose of depowering Superman.
• Greater-Scope Villain: For the first season. He only appears in three episodes, but Harley's entire goal is to impress him enough to be able to join his Legion of Doom, and the schism he creates between her and Ivy allows the latter to be captured by Scarecrow.
• Hypocrite: He's the one to publicly announce that the Legion of Doom disproves of Doctor Psycho's misogyny, but he also has a problem with treating women as equals. Even his promotion of Ivy to Legion of Doom CEO is mainly just about PR; he makes it pretty clear that he doesn't give a toss about Ivy's goals or ideas, and most of his compliments are either backhanded or transparently insincere.
• I Just Want to Be You: His obsession with Superman seems to extend wanting to be him. In the Season 4 finale, it's revealed the real goal of his plan to block the sun was just so he could capture Superman, steal his powers, his cape and hair.
• It's All About Me: If Lex isn't the most important person in the room at any given time, he will not be a happy camper. When Ivy upstages him at MalCon he tries to kill everyone in attendance.
• Karma Houdini Warranty: After remaining a unpunished villain for 4 whole seasons, karma finally catches up to Lex in the season 4 finale where Ivy, Harley, and Barbara defeat Lex Luthor together before letting Steppenwolf take him to Apokolips.
• Knight of Cerebus: Not that he doesn't have comedic moments himself, but the moment he introduces himself to Harley is when Harley's relationships start becoming strained, shifting the show more into dramedy territory.
• Manipulative Bastard: This is Lex Luthor after all. When Ivy refuses to join the Legion of Doom, Luthor let Harley join with the apparent intent of driving a wedge between the two of them.
• Mythology Gag: DCAU ethnically ambiguous Lex is back! Though Word of God confirmed that Lex is actually black in this universe.
• No Love for the Wicked: Played for laughs. He sees the act of sex as being too pedestrian, so he always uses a surrogate — one who has a full head of hair and dresses like Superman.
• Pet the Dog:
  • He's actually pretty supportive to Harley in her first LOD meeting, even agreeing with her about the over-complicated nature of the Joker's plan and affably explaining how the meetings work.
  • He loves his pet dog and treats it like his baby.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: Despite disapproving of Doctor Psycho's misogyny, he displays quite a few sexist tendencies in his own right, as shown in "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.". He doesn't bother to remember the name of the sole female member (Cheetah) of the Legion, and was willing to use Harley's desire to be in the Legion to force Ivy to join. Then there's the fact that he willingly hands Harley over to the Joker, whose mistreatment of her is well-known practically everywhere.
• Race Lift: Lex Luthor was made to be black for this series to better reflect his voice actor. This change makes Lex look more as he appears in Superman: The Animated Series (though he was more Ambiguously Brown in the case of STAS), rather than the fairer skinned version in Young Justice (2010).
• Reused Character Design: He's virtually identical to his DCAU incarnation, at least in looks.
• Slave to PR:
  • While his public firing of Dr. Psycho after he insulted women on live television twice looked like an Even Evil Has Standards moments at first, his own sexist behaviour in private hints that it was more about keeping his public image than anything else.
  • Taken to comedic extreme with the revelation that a local sex shop is ripping off the Legion's name, and all he can do is roll his eyes and let the matter play out in court since using "evil" methods would bring bad PR.
• Take That!: One of the headlines during the breaking news segment of Wonder Woman and Doctor Psycho's fight is Lex launching a tirade against Superman on Twitter, which is generally a Take That! towards Twitter rants by and towards prominent figures like politicians and celebrities.
• Toxic, Inc.: One of the many divisions of Lexcorp is a company simply called "Planetwide Pavers".
• Viler New Villain: Once Lex Luthor takes over the role of Arc Villain in Season 4, he proves to be far worse than all previous main villains, who all had some sympathetic and/or redeeming qualities. For further explanation: The Big Bad Ensemble of the previous season, consisting of Batman and Poison Ivy, were misguided Anti Villains, while even vile villains like The Joker and Dr. Psycho have some people they cared about (Bethany and her kids for The Joker, Herman for his father Dr. Psycho). By contrast, Lex is never shown to care for anyone but himself, his only redeeming quality is his love for his dog, and carries out a cataclysmic plan that far eclipses all other villains in sheer scope, with far pettier motivations behind them (he wanted to de-power Superman so he can imprison him and steal his powers).
• Villainous Breakdown: After Ivy steals the show at his moon conference, Lex accidentally blows up his own legs and tries jettisoning the entire conference to space.
• Villainous Valor: He gets restrained by Ivy's plants, and doesn't even flinch.
• Villain with Good Publicity: Typical Lex Luthor, however this version is more honest about the fact he's a villain and leads the Legion of Doom, but nobody arrests him.

The Scarecrow

The Scarecrow (Jonathan Crane)

Voiced by: Rahul Kohli

---

• Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Joker and Scarecrow usually absolutely loathe each other, being very dismissive of one another and often would resort to violence or actively screwing each other over to further their own plans rather than entertain the idea of working together. Here, they're able to work together just fine for the most part.
• Adaptational Nice Guy: Subverted. He is initially depicted as a friendly if a bit gossipy man, in a similar manner to Bane. Then he kidnaps Ivy and starts harvesting her pheromones to use for his fear toxin.
• Beneath the Mask: No pun intended, but while he appears to just be another Legion member who treats his work like a day job, he turns out to be just as much of a loon as his comic counterpart obsessed with spreading fear and destruction all over Gotham.
• Beware the Nice Ones: He's introduced in a casual setting as the Legion's resident gossip and generally is presented as a friendly, personable man. Then it's revealed he's working with the Joker and the Queen of Fables to abduct Ivy and use her pheromones to create a toxin that mutates Gotham's plantlife into giant tree monsters, and he's also complicit in the Joker's plan to blow up the Legion of Doom and take over Gotham for himself.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He seems like just another Punch-Clock Villain, but it's then revealed that he willingly teamed up with the Joker and the Queen of Fables to destroy Gotham and the Legion of Doom in "Devil's Snare".
• Co-Dragons: He and the Queen of Fables are revealed to be the Joker's by the end of the first season. However, the Joker holds him in far less esteem than he does the Queen of Fables. His lack of creativity — the Joker even sniffs at how "one-note" he is with his fear toxin — and continuing deference to the stronger villain solidifies his position as the Joker's sidekick after his Gotham takeover. He even makes the fatal mistake of impulsively unmasking Batman, just because it's something he thinks Harley would do.
• Creative Sterility: The Joker mocks him for his evil schemes being "one-note" to using his fear toxin.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: A twofer. After Scarecrow unmasks Batman, the Joker melts his face with acid and his skull explodes shortly afterwards.
• Death by Adaptation: He's killed by the Joker.
• Death by Secret Identity: He's one of two people to find out Batman's secret identity but is killed by the Joker for unceremoniously unmasking Batman.
• Didn't Think This Through: Impulsively unmasks Batman without thinking about the Joker's response. The latter berates him, saying that he could have unmasked Batman from the start if he was actually interested in finding out his secret identity. The Scarecrow sadly pays for it with a face full of acid.
• Even Evil Has Standards:
  • Subverted. He’s rather uncomfortable with the Joker's poor treatment of Bane. Doesn't stop him from joining him and helping him destroy the Legion of Doom (which Bane was a member of)'s lair.
  • Played for Laughs example. While he's a supervillain, he considers the medical insurance industry to be the real villains.
• Evil Brit: Speaks with his voice actor's natural English accent in the show.
• Faux Affably Evil: While holding Ivy prisoner to extract her pheromones, he keeps his gossipy and chatty persona-even when giving a lethal dose of his fear toxin.
• Gossipy Hens: He's shown to be the Legion of Doom's office gossip.
• Mythology Gag:
  • Joker's taunts about Scarecrow having nothing but fear gas? Comic Joker did the same.
  • This isn’t the first time Scarecrow unmasked Batman before getting screwed over by the Joker.
• Nerd in Evil's Helmet: He and Bane have a bit of this dynamic, like when they disrupt a LOD meeting for a minute to discuss how a sequel to Up might work.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: After being introduced as another one of the Joker's punching bags, he really shows why his name is Scarecrow when he captures Poison Ivy and extracts her pheromones to enhance his fear toxin. He then spreads the concoction through the earth, creating an army of evil mobile man-eating trees that proceed to rapidly build up a body count.
• Oh, Crap!: Has one moments before the Joker prepares to kill him.
• Only Friend: The only non-Harley villain to treat Bane with any respect.
• Pay Evil unto Evil: The Joker brutally murders him by spraying acid into his face for unmasking Batman. Considering this guy is responsible for killing God knows how many people it's really hard to feel bad for him.
• Unexplained Recovery: He drives the truck containing his fear toxin into Gotham's waters, and all we see left of him was his mask. Yet in the next episode, he's seen fighting Batman no worse for wear. Of course, there's little point dwelling on the subject given what the Joker does to him afterwards.
• Yes-Man: He effectively serves as this to the Joker. This is best seen during the Legion of Doom meeting, where he constantly heaps praises on the Joker's rather convoluted and unnecessary plan while Harley and to a lesser extent Lex Luthor disagree.
• Your Head Asplode: After his head gets melted by the Joker's acid, his body collapses to the floor and causes his skull to shatter into a bloody paste.

Black Manta

Black Manta (David Hyde)

Voiced by: Phil LaMarr

---

• Arch-Enemy: To Aquaman, to the point where he is annoyed that Aquaman crashing a party held by the Legion of Doom has nothing to do with him.
• Dude, Where's My Respect?: He's never been nominated for a Villy award despite being a highly successful veteran supervillain. He nods approvingly when Catwoman calls this out.
• Scary Black Man: A supervillain who happens to be black. Which Joker did not know until it was spelled out for him.
  Joker: He's black?!
• Token Minority: Seemingly the only black man in a non-leadership position in the Legion of Doom and is quite sensitive about it.
• Villain of Another Story: Is Aquaman's archenemy, but Aquaman isn't interested in fighting him when he appears.

Calendar Man

Calendar Man (Julian Day)

Voiced by: Alan Tudyk

A supervillain obsessed with committing crimes on holidays and specific dates.

---

• Adaptational Nice Guy: Isn't smug and creepy like his serial killer portrayal in recent works.
• Affably Evil: Despite being a dangerous killer and supervillain who gleefully participates in the Arkham riot, Calendar Man is nothing less than polite and pleasant when interacting with his fellow inmates. Furthermore, he has a wife and son who, despite his neglectful tendencies, seem to be close enough to him to not only visit him, but bring him gifts.
• Bald of Evil: Known for his shaved head covered in number tattoos.
• Composite Character: His physical appearance is based on his modern incarnation established in The Long Halloween, but he wears the costume of his Silver Age incarnation.
• Disappeared Dad: He's not involved enough in his son's life to remember his birthday.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Despite not being very involved in their lives, his wife and son do seem to care for him.
• Fat Bastard: He's an obese villain.
• Irony: He's renowned for keeping dates yet he can't remember his own son’s birthday.
• Ludicrous Precision: Due to his obsession with dates, he can remember exactly how long Harley has been in Arkham with stunning accuracy (but, again, can't remember his son's birthday).
• Tattooed Crook: He has the abbreviations for months of the year tattooed around his forehead.

Man-Bat

Man-Bat (Kirk Langstrom)

Voiced by: Uncredited

A scientist who developed a serum that transformed him into a bat-creature.

---

• Adaptational Intelligence: Normally, Langstrom's Man-Bat form is animalistic or even mindless. This version retains his human intellect as Man-Bat.
• Adaptational Nice Guy: He's still a supervillain, but he acts like a normal person despite being a giant bat and he tries his best to defend Harley and Ivy - who most other supervillains have turned on by this point - during their trial in Two-Face's Kangaroo Court despite his vocal limitations.
• Adaptational Villainy: Most portrayals of the character have Kirk Langstrom as a well-meaning Mad Scientist whose bat-hybrid form is a Superpowered Evil Side. Whilst he is Man-Bat he is usually completely monstrous and animalistic, however, this version appears to have retained his intelligence and still willingly works with the Legion of Doom.
• Bat People: He is a mutant bat.
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Subverted. He'd actually be a competent lawyer if only anyone could understand a word he was saying.
• Fun with Subtitles: Because he can only communicate in screeches, subtitles are used so the audience can understand what he's saying even while the other characters can't.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: He went from defending Harley and Ivy to being a He-Man Woman Hater who takes part in bullying Ivy over her being the new CEO of the Legion of Doom.
• The Unintelligible: Can only communicate in bat screams.
• Your Mom: His acceptance speech at the 83rd Annual Villy Awards apparently involved something about everyone's mother having chlamydia.

Gorilla Grodd

Gorilla Grodd

Voiced by: Diedrich Bader

A telepathic gorilla who's primarily an enemy of the Flash.

---

• Adaptational Dumbass: This version of Grodd is less a genius mastermind and more of a dumb Fratbro in a gorilla's body.
• The Brute: He's twice the size of a normal gorilla and towers over every other member of the Legion of Doom.
• He-Man Woman Hater: Has a really dim view of Ivy as the new CEO, and his plan boils down to trapping a bunch of women to go out with him.
• Killer Gorilla: Emphasis on the gorilla part of his personality.

Metallo

Metallo (John Corben)

Voiced by: Jim Rash

A cyborg with a kryptonite heart that is a member of Superman's rogues gallery.

---

• He-Man Woman Hater: He opposes Ivy's promotion to CEO of the Legion of Doom, openly speculating that Ivy slept with Lex to get the job.
• Machine Monotone: Naturally, given that he's practically all robot. His tone never changes no matter how upset he gets.

Snowflame

Snowflame

Voiced by: James Adomian

A Colombian supervillain who's powered by cocaine.

---

• Addiction-Powered: Cocaine gives him superpowers. There's a reason he's the posterchild for this trope.
• Domino Mask: He wears a white mask that covers the area around his eyes.
• Elemental Hair Colors: His white hair matches his white, cocaine-fueled fire.
• He-Man Woman Hater: He's the most outspoken in opposition of Ivy being made the new CEO of the Legion of Doom, commenting that Lex has given into the "woke mob".
• Playing with Fire: He produces and controls white flames, powered by cocaine.
• Technicolor Fire: His fire burns white, which reflects the source of his power.
• White Hair, Black Heart: Has snow white hair and is a misogynistic coke fiend.

Volcana

Volcana (Claire Selton)

Voiced by: Jeannie Tirado

A fire-based villainess who is a member of Superman's rogues gallery and one of Poison Ivy's mentees, the Natural Disasters.

---

• Adaptation Personality Change: In Superman: The Animated Series, she was a confident, vivacious Anti-Hero. Here, she's a Nervous Wreck who's eager to please her boss.
• Breath Weapon: She vomits molten lava at one point.
• Cleavage Window: Her outfit has a window exposing her cleavage.
• Composite Character: Her appearance comes from Superman: The Animated Series while her lava breath (umm...vomit) is similar to that of a one shot Apokalips warrior named Volcana who appeared in Action Comics #775.
• Elemental Hair Colors: She's a redheaded villainess with fire/lava superpowers.
• Masculine, Feminine, Androgyne Trio: Volcana is the most traditionally feminine of the trio formed by Poison Ivy's mentees.
• Perky Female Minion: After Ivy becomes the CEO of the Legion of Doom, Volcana is her bubbly, if nervous and clumsy, minion who is enthusiastic to do anything for her.
• Playing with Fire: She has fire based powers.
• Sensual Spandex: She wears a skintight bodysuit.
• Stress Vomit: When Ivy gives her a seat at the main table, she gets so nervous she accidentally vomits lava onto the table.

Terra

Terra (Atlee)

Voiced by: Kerry Knuppe

An earth-based villainess and one of Poison Ivy's mentees, the Natural Disasters.

---

• Adaptational Curves: She's much taller and bulkier than in any other adaptation.
• Adaptational Villainy: An interesting case in which while Terra was a bad guy, it's the first Terra that was a villain. The third (Atlee) was more heroic while this version is a villain.
• Amazonian Beauty: She's a tall, burly and quite attractive warrior woman.
• Braids of Action: She's an Amazon-like villainess with two braids on the sides of her head.
• The Brute: She's the largest, toughest and bulkiest member of the Natural Disasters.
• Dishing Out Dirt: She has the power to control earth.
• Elemental Eye Colors: She has brown eyes to match her earth superpowers.
• Elemental Personalities: She's tough, strong and firm, like the earth she can control.
• Marionette Master: Using her earth powers, she controls a giant statue of Poison Ivy to fight a giant formed by a pissed PR team.
• Masculine, Feminine, Androgyne Trio: Terra is the masculine member of Poison Ivy's mentees, being taller and more muscular than the other two members.
• Race Lift: She has darker skin than other incarnations of Terra.
• Tomboyish Voice: She looks and acts like an Amazon warrior, with a low voice that suits her perfectly.
• You Don't Look Like You: Race Lift aside, this Terra doesn't look anything like the Atlee version who was more slender and wore spandex. Meanwhile, this version is more muscular while wearing a outfit that wouldn't be too far off from a Amazon warrior.

Tefé Holland

Tefé Holland

Voiced by: Vico Ortiz

The child of Swamp Thing and one of Poison Ivy's mentees, the Natural Disasters.

---

• Adaptational Gender Identity: This incarnation of Tefé is non-binary instead of female.
• The Beastmaster: They can tap into the Red, the cosmic force that connects all animal life, and use it to control animals. They seem to have a particular penchant for sharks.
• Masculine, Feminine, Androgyne Trio: Tefé is the androgyne member of Poison Ivy's mentees, being non-binary with an androgynous appearance.
• Meditation Powerup: Tefé goes into a meditation position when tapping into the Red to control animals.
• Mystical White Hair: They're white-haired and have mystical powers that allow mind control over animals and humans.
• Old Shame: Tefé mentions they would like to use a time machine to tell their younger self that snake eye contacts are more weird than intimidating.
• Queer Establishing Moment: They are first indicated to be non-binary when they respond to Gordon refering to them, along with Volcana and Terra, as "women" by indignantly pointing out to him that they're not all women.
• People Puppets: The Red allows Tefé to control other human beings as well as animals.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Accessing the Red causes Tefé's eyes to glow red. The animals they control also gain red eyes.

Injustice League

In General

A group of former Legion of Doom members assembled to take over Gotham in Season 2.

---

• Arc Villain: Collectively the main antagonists for the first half of Season 2 as Harley sets out for revenge after they seal her in ice.
• Big Bad Duumvirate: The group is an equal alliance of villains controlling Gotham—although Bane is more Dumb Muscle the others make fun of and boss around. By the time they're reduced to just him and Two-Face in episode five, the latter is the clear leader.
• Disc-One Final Boss: They gradually get whittled down and are effectively dismantled halfway through the season, with the Riddler teaming up with Psycho for the remainder.
• Dwindling Party: By episode 7, Penguin is killed off relatively early, Riddler is captured by Harley's crew, Mr. Freeze sacrifices himself for his wife, Two-Face is arrested by Gordon, and Bane was last seen stuck in a pit.
• Legion of Doom: Albeit a smaller version, made up of only Gotham villains.

Two-Face

Two-Face (Harvey Dent)

Voiced by: Andy Daly

---

• Adaptational Jerkass: On top of bearing none of the sympathetic qualities that made him a Tragic Villain in the comics, this version of Dent is an extremely arrogant politician who is a Slave to PR, willing to endanger hostages just to protect his political career. The only good thing you could say about pre-disfigurement Dent is that he's charming enough to be really good buddies with Gordon and doesn't seem to be on any sort of bad terms with Batman.
• Adaptational Late Appearance: Two-Face is oridinarily one of Batman's earliest-encountered adversaries and was established to be responsible for killing the father of the second Robin Jason Todd, when "All the Best Inmates Have Daddy Issues" indicates that Dent in this continuity had yet to be disfigured and become Two-Face after the Joker had killed Jason Todd.
• Adaptational Personality Change: Unlike most depictions of Two-Face in comics and other media, Dent seems to lack the Split Personality that caused him to become Two-Face in the first place. His moniker was implied to be based upon Harley's insult at him for being a two-faced politician. Also, only once does his trademark two-headed coin ever appear.
• Adaptational Ugliness: Looks more thuggish on both sides.
• Amazing Technicolor Population: His left half is a pale aquamarine color.
• Ascended Extra: He is little more than a mook for the Joker in one episode in Season 1. In Season 2, he becomes a founding member of the Injustice League, and becomes the de-facto leader once the Penguin and Mr. Freeze are killed and the Riddler is taken prisoner.
• Bald of Evil: He's bald on the left half of his head.
• Broken Pedestal: When Harley first became a psychiatrist at Arkham, she looked up to Dent for his reputation as an honest politician. However, when Dent was willing to let a sniper shoot Harley to get at the Joker so he could protect his reputation, Harley gives Dent a Spiteful Spit and berates him as a "two-faced" crook.
• Bullying the Dragon: Despite the fact that Bane could easily snap him like a twig, he still bullies and heckles him at almost every turn.
• Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Repeatedly betrays people that he works with, particularly in Season 3, something he repeatedly lampshades to dense ol' Gordon should be obvious in his name.
  "Why? Why do you keep trusting me? My name is Two-Face. I almost feel like you're trolling me. Being two-faced is what I do! It's pretty straightforward!"
  "Seriously? You're making this really not fun for me. "Two-Face" is my name!"
• The Corrupter: As Jim Gordon's campaign manager in Season 3, he gets Gordon to become a sleazy, typical politician.
• Disabled in the Adaptation: Harley offhandedly remarks that Two-Face is blind in his left eye, something that is either implied or never brought up in previous adaptations^note in fact, it's the Harley-centric graphic novel Harleen that touches upon the issue, by showing that Harvey's sight is damaged on the left eye due to it being bloodshot.
• Disc-One Final Boss:
  • He's the leader of the Injustice League, but is ultimately arrested halfway through Season 2. He still manages to cause havoc from behind bars however, as he manipulates Gordon into attacking Ivy's wedding in the finale.
  • Gordon's subplot in Season 3 sees Two-Face acting as The Corrupter, encouraging him to take morally dubious actions as part of his mayoral campaign and even going so far as to try to assassinate his rivals so Gordon can reinstate him as DA. Fortunately, his extremism gets Gordon to finally turn on him halfway through the season, leaving Bruce's kidnapping of Frank as the main conflict.
• Due to the Dead: After Mr. Freeze's death, he keeps his seat open in his memory.
• Even Evil Has Standards: He agrees with the Scarecrow that the Joker's treatment of Bane is too harsh. Hypocritical, considering how his own treatment of Bane isn't so different.
• Evil Reactionary: Even prior to his deformation, he agreed with the use of torture on suspects and was pushing for a law to reduce the rights of prison inmates.
• Faux Affably Evil: Two-Face is quite adept at faking friendliness to talk people into his way of thinking. Well, he was once a lawyer.
• Guns Akimbo: He wields two guns simultaneously as part of his "duality" aesthetic.
• It's All About Me: Even before he got disfigured and became Two-Face he was still a slimeball who cared about nothing but his own self advancement.
• Manipulative Bastard: Plays Bane, Gordon and Harley with ease, never losing his cool while pushing them in the direction he wants them to go.
• Mythology Gag: His attitude back as the DA and Harley's past view of him are much in line with DC Black Label's story Harleen.
• Pet the Dog: To his credit, he did leave Mr. Freeze's seat open in memoriam of his death and was outraged when Bane tried to take the empty seat as his own.
• Slave to PR: When he was still Harvey Dent, he ordered a sniper to shoot the Joker even when he took Harley as a hostage, being more concerned about his PR at risk for letting the Joker escape.
• Sleazy Politician: When he was still Harvey Dent, he was the classic two-faced politician willing to kill complete innocents rather than risk losing popularity with the voters.
• The Snack Is More Interesting: While still Harvey Dent, while watching Batman beat up the Joker for bringing up his murder of Jason Todd, he starts munching on licorice and asks if anyone wants some.
• Spared, but Not Forgiven: Even though Two-Face almost killed him and his stepson, Joker stops Gordon and Bethany from killing him. Joker admits he does want to kill Two-Face too, but doesn't believe it would solve anything.
• Stealth Pun: This version of the character is not just two-faced in the sense that he literally has two faces due to his partial deformity, but also in that he's a duplicitous, back-stabbing bastard.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: In "A High Bar" he seemed to enjoy Harley’s company and thinks the Joker’s treatment of Bane and other supervillains is harsh and clearly disagrees with it. Season 2 goes pretty much the opposite route, depicting him as a sleazy, manipulative misogynist who goes out of his way to bully Bane and loathes Harley with a passion.
• Two-Faced: Being Two-Face, half of his face is hideously deformed.
• Would Hurt a Child: In Season 3, he takes Joker's young stepson hostage to threaten Joker into dropping out of the mayoral campaign and let Gordon win. After Joker easily agrees, Two-Face still tries to kill him and his stepson.

Bane

Bane

Voiced by: James Adomian

A villain hyped up on Venom, which gives him Super-Strength.

---

• Adaptational Badass: He might be the No-Respect Guy among the villains, but in terms of sheer strength, he is much stronger than his comic counterpart, overpowering Batman when he is using a suit of Powered Armor.
• Adaptational Dumbass: Far from the calculating genius Bane was in the comics, this Bane is a childish oaf. As the series goes on, however, it's demonstrated that Bane is actually very intelligent and surprisingly pragmatic (he allows his goons to use Venom, which is normally his trump card, and he's fairly successful at rehabilitating other criminals)... it's only when he uses his intelligence in the service of villainy that he stumbles.
• Affably Evil: For a ruthless villain, he's a rather pleasant and polite fellow. It's telling that he actually gets invited to Ivy's wedding, even though he helped put Harley on ice.
• Bad Boss: When King Shark takes too long to plant a bomb, Bane remotely detonates it, not caring that he grievously wounded his henchman.
• Bad People Abuse Animals: He steps on defenseless fishes just to be an asshole to Aquaman.
• Berserk Button:
  • After all the disrespect that gets heaped on him, what ends up really setting him off in a deadly rampage is realizing that a colleague blatantly lied to him.
  • Improper grammar, especially ending sentences with a preposition and saying "anyways" instead of "anyway".
  • That thing where you say goodbye to someone and then end up walking in the same direction.
• Beware the Nice Ones: He's shown to be surprisingly affable with his fellow villains, but his answer to anything or anyone that mildly offends him is to try to blow them up.
• Bomb Throwing Anarchist: Parodied, whenever something mildly upsets Bane, his immediate response is to threaten to blow whatever's upsetting him up.
• Bully Magnet: Every other villain goes out of their way to bully and insult Bane. His fellow members of the Injustice League continually mock him and give him a cheap chair to sit on because it looks funny.
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: In spite of his dim and genial demeanor, Bane is surprisingly competent at a large number of fields. He manages to run one of the most successful gangs in Gotham, crushes Batman in combat, and turned the Pit into a highly successful prisoner-reform center.
• Butt-Monkey: Despite his status in the Legion of Doom, he is still a Straw Loser who gets no respect.
• Celebrity Crush: On Brett Goldstein, who he attempts to have sex with while temporarily transformed into a massively horny Kaiju.
• Chewing the Scenery: During a Kangaroo Court trial involving Harley and Ivy.
  "I sentence them to liiiiiiife... in prison of course."
• Climax Boss: For the Injustice League story arc. He's the last member faced by Harley and Ivy as Two-Face himself is taken down by Gordon, and escaping the Pit prompts the pair's first kiss that sets the stage for the rest of the season's conflict.
• Comically Missing the Point: The Joker tells him that Harley has HPV. Bane isn't sure how this matters, because he's pretty sure most sexually active adults have it.
• Composite Character: Combines the classic Venom-using Bane with the Comically Serious Bane from Secret Six, with an exaggerated love of explosions and Tom Hardy's voice and eloquence from The Dark Knight Rises.
• Cowardly Lion: Bane takes a lot of crap from other villains who don't take him seriously. Yet when he actually gets into a fight in "Batman's Back, Man" he turns out be powerful enough to inflict a Curb-Stomp Battle on Batman.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Faces Batman in "Batman's Back, Man." While Batman has a suit of Powered Armor, Bane destroys him when he goes all out on Venom, leaves the suit so damaged it cannot operate, and leaves Batman with both his knees broken.
• Disproportionate Retribution: Blew up Gotham stadium because he got a Trivia Night question wrong, and then threatens to blow up the Penguin's nephew's bar mitzvah because Harley and the other villains made fun of him. As the series progresses, he threatens to blow up pretty much anything that mildly offends him.
• Do Wrong, Right: His reaction to Joshua putting a hit out on Harley using a Legion of Doom credit card is indignant scolding. Why? Because he left a paper trail by using the credit card (along with using it for frivolous purchases), rather than using cash.
• Dumbass Has a Point: He suggests that he and Two-Face team up to better prepare for Harley attempting to kill them, which Two-Face only begrudgingly does while making every effort to minimize him.
• Easily Forgiven: Despite locking Harley and Ivy in a high-security prison and generally antagonizing them for a whole season, he gets invited to Ivy and Kite Man's wedding.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: For all his faults, he mentions having a close relationship with his aunt.
• Even Evil Has Standards: He's quite offended when the Joker badmouths the Penguin's nephew's bar mitzvah, recognizing the occasion as an important milestone.
• Evil Brit: Speaks with the quasi-British accent made famous by Tom Hardy's portrayal of the character. This is somewhat confusing, as it becomes evident later that this Bane is also Latino, like in Young Justice (2010), if the calavera-bearing papel picado strung about his slice of Gotham is anything to go by.
• Evil Is Petty: Pretty much any minor embarrassment Bane suffers — losing a bar trivia game, being laughed at at a bar mitzvah, having a teenage employee call him "Bang" when he's a regular customer at the smoothie place — will spur him to plan to blow up the target of his wrath.
• Expressive Mask: His goggles and stitched up mouth move to display emotion.
• Extreme Doormat: He's constantly letting other villains walk all over him and humiliate him even though he could easily break their bones if he let himself get angry.
• Foil: To Harley of all people. Like Harley, Bane isn't treated with any respect by his supervillain peers. Two-Face's treatment of Bane, in particular, is very similar to how the Joker manipulated Harley into being subservient to him. Unlike Harley, who eventually wises up and breaks from the Joker's control and abuse, Bane remains completely oblivious to the fact that Two-Face doesn't regard him as an equal even as the evidence is right in front of him.
• Graceful Loser: He takes Harley and Ivy's riot and escape from the Pit fairly well when we see him again in "Lovers' Quarrel," simply reacting to the reveal of their love-making with a calm I Knew It!. He even attends Ivy and Kite Man's wedding.
• The Heavy: Becomes the main antagonist of the Valentine's Day special after accidentally enlarging himself and going on a sex pheromone-induced rampage, though the actual main conflict is Harley trying to give Ivy the perfect Valentine's Day.
• Hidden Depths: He seems to have a gift for therapy, since, despite having limited resources, he was significantly more successful in rehabilitating criminals than Arkham Asylum ever was.
• Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Not in the sense that he is incompetent overall, but when it comes to committing acts of pure villainy, he's a complete buffoon, as Harley's crew can testify when they worked for him temporarily.
• Laughably Evil: While Bane is still a villain, most of his antics are relegated to petty acts which still befits the Black Comedy nature of the show.
• Mad Bomber: He likes explosions a lot and his standard answer to anything that annoys him is wanting to blow it up.
• Mythology Gag:
  • His design is taken directly from his Injustice: Gods Among Us depiction, with his venom tubes changed from green to red.
  • Similarly, pretty much every time we see him, Bane is constantly quoting The Dark Knight Rises in paraphrased wording. And of course, his voice is an exaggerated impression of Tom Hardy's Bane from that movie.
• Nerd in Evil's Helmet: Drinks smoothies, tries to do magic tricks, cracks somewhat lame jokes, plays bar trivia, and wishes Pixar would make a sequel to Up.
• Nice Guy: Oddly enough, he's one of the nicest characters in the series thus far. He also seems to be the only one outside of her crew that treats Harley with respect, such as suggesting the newly formed Injustice League include her in negotiations on divying up Gotham rather than just hanging her up to dry (all the other villains yell at him and go ahead with their plans), and the Pit, a prison that he runs, is centered around rehabilitating the prisoners there through various forms of therapy.
• No-Respect Guy: Even though he's shown to be quite a formidable villain as seen with his battle with Batman, his fellow villains don't treat him with any respect. It's implied that this is so Bane doesn't get the idea to turn against them, as Bane is shown to have the most success running his fiefdom in Gotham City, titled "Baneton".
• Not-So-Harmless Villain:
  • Despite being treated as Dumb Muscle and a joke by his fellow villains, he or at the very least his goons are treated as The Dreaded by the other villains' goons on account of Bane supplying them with syringes of Venom. When Two-Face's gang pursued King Shark and Dr. Psycho, they quickly turned around once they entered 'Baneton'.
  • When he finally gets into a fight with Batman in "Batman's Back, Man" he shows that he is still one of his most dangerous enemies, easily defeating him and breaking both of his legs.
• Parental Substitute: Acts as this to the Penguin's nephew, Joshua.
• Pointy-Haired Boss: He's a pretty affable supervillain, but "A Seat at the Table" shows that he's a pretty idiotic boss, so much so that Harley's crew begs her to get them out of his employment.
• Politically Correct Villain: Downplayed, but he mentions making a point to be supportive of his lesbian aunt.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: Played with. When he makes a joke about the ocean being "the world's toilet" that flops, he mutters that political correctness is killing comedy, and he calls the guy at the smoothie place a "goddamn millennial". However, he's neither a bigot nor a sexist, and it mostly just makes him seem like more of a dweeb than an outright jerk.
• Real Men Wear Pink: He's a brutish supervillain who also seems to be a fan of Sex and the City, as he's purchased memorabilia from it.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: Subverted - Bane wants to be this, but a combination of his 'allies' disrespect for him, his temper, insecurities, and willingness to destroy anything that irritates him, no matter the absurdity, make this impossible.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Or in this case, green. Upon pumping himself full of Venom, his red lenses on his mask turn a sinister green.
• Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: He survived the events of Season 1 because he was out of town dog-sitting for his aunt's girlfriend at the time, which is more explanation than his fellow Legion members get.
• Self-Referential Humor: More so than any other character in the show, Bane is a walking quotes machine for the portion of The Dark Knight Rises parody he represents; throughout his appearances Bane finds a way to incorporate many of the memorable lines from Tom Hardy’s version of the character into his own dialogue.
• Straight Edge Evil: "There's No Place to Go But Down" shows that Bane is all about channeling unproductive impulses into productive and healthy endeavors.
• Super Mode: The already huge Bane gets bigger when he uses the Venom formula.
• Teeny Weenie: Defied. He is insistent that he has an adequately large penis — it's just that it looks small in comparison to the rest of him. Nevertheless, in A Very Problematic Valentine's Day Special, Bane buys a ...ahem...enhancement of a magical nature from Etrigan that backfires and...enlarges...all of him, and if the fact that as a kaiju he ends up using the trailer of a semi truck to cover himself is anything to go by, its size is nothing to scoff at.
• Trivial Tragedy: For most of season 3 Bane considers Harley and Ivy refusing to give him back his pasta maker the worst betrayal he's ever experienced. He even goes to therapy to deal with it.
• Vocal Dissonance: He has a surprisingly soft voice for a hulking giant.
• Warrior Therapist: He spends his time rehabilitating prisoners in The Pit, through different kinds of therapy.
• Wrestler in All of Us: Not surprisingly, given his lucha libre theme, Bane's fighting style is based in wrestling.
• What the Hell Is That Accent?: It's quasi-british, parodying the accent used by Tom Hardy from The Dark Knight Rises, but his heritage is Latino so it makes very little sense.
• You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry!: Get him mad and upset enough, he'll go berserk. Batman himself learned this the hard way, while Two-Face did his best to keep him calm.

The Riddler

The Riddler (Edward Nygma)

Voiced by: Jim Rash

Gotham's "funniest villain" known for his riddle based crimes.

---

• Actor Allusion: Riddler's voice actor, Jim Rash, is best known for playing Dean Pelton on Community. In Season 2, he becomes the dean of Riddler U, even featuring an ad that feels as if it could have been made in Community. Also, the fact that this version of the Riddler is both gay and bald—not common traits for the character—is most likely a reference to Rash as well.
• Adaptational Sexuality: This incarnation of the character is revealed to be gay and in a relationship with the Clock King in Season 3.
• Badass in a Nice Suit: He's a notorious villain in a snazzy suit with a Dastardly Dapper Derby.
• Bald of Evil: This Riddler has a shaved head.
• Deadpan Snarker: Being one of the smartest villains in Gotham, it's not at all surprising that Riddler has a dry wit to go along with it. Especially notable when he's around Psycho.
• Demoted to Dragon: After the other members of the Injustice League are defeated, the Riddler forms a new partnership with Dr. Psycho for the second half of Season 2, though Psycho is clearly in charge. The Riddler himself lampshades that he's not used to the whole "second in command" thing.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He seems to genuinely love his boyfriend Clock King.
• Evil Versus Evil: While always a supervillain, Season 2 sees him directly oppose Harley as part of the Injustice League.
• Genius Bruiser: Not only is he a brilliant man, a stint in captivity puts him in excellent shape.
• Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: A flashback to Harley's time at Arkham shows him brushing a long black mane, only to gasp in horror when he finds several strands embedded in the brush, suggesting he's either gone totally bald since or now shaves his head to cover up an unflattering hairline.
• Head-Turning Beauty: Male example. His workout regime as a prisoner of Harley's crew makes him incredibly jacked, and it becomes a Running Gag for people (both male and female) to break off their train of thought when they get a look at his perfect musculature.
• The Heavy: He's the most prominent villain throughout all of Season 2 with a major antagonistic role in both halves, first as a member of the Injustice League and then as Psycho's Dragon.
• Mythology Gag: He sported long black hair prior to his Bald of Evil appearance, similar to the Marilyn Manson-inspired Riddler from The Batman.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: He finds Clayface so obnoxious that he spoils his own riddle just to make Clayface stop talking.
• Play-Along Prisoner: After being captured in Season Two and made to power Harley's lair with a giant hamster wheel, he says he's okay with it because he is getting well-fed, plenty of exercise, and it's entertaining watching Harley's crew struggle to get on top. He also makes it very clear he can escape at anytime he feels like it. By episode 10 he's done just that albeit with the help of Dr. Psycho.
• Pragmatic Villainy: He joins the Injustice League in Season 2 to avoid fighting over the remains of New New Gotham. He refuses to escape his prison because being a prisoner gives him the best chance of surviving the New New Gotham wasteland, not only that, Harley's crew provides him with shelter, food, water, plenty of exercise, and finds pleasure in watching the Quinn crew struggle for survival.
• Prisons Are Gymnasiums: Justified — after capturing him, Harley and co. have him run on one of his human-sized hamster wheels to provide them with power. He makes no secret of how he's fine with it because he's getting jacked.
• Retired Monster: By Season Three, he's given up big-time villainy and is happily running an escape room company with his boyfriend Clock King. Granted, the escape room in question does possess lethal traps, but this is Gotham, so that just might be par for the course.
• Riddle Me This: But of course; his crimes are centered around riddles that he leaves heroes to solve to give them a chance of stopping him... or as the Joker puts it:
  The Joker: His gimmick is being the world's most indirect asshole!
• The Rival: The Joker sees him as a rival villain, especially since the Riddler seems to be stealing his gimmick in the first episode.
• Tattooed Crook: He has a question mark tattooed on his forehead.
• Took a Level in Badass: Thanks to the non-stop exercise that came from powering Harley's lair via a giant hamster wheel, he's become an actually physically imposing threat (and seriously ripped) upon being freed by Dr. Psycho in "Dye Hard".
• Unholy Matrimony: He and his fellow supervillain Clock King are revealed to be a couple in Season 3, although they seem to be running an escape room company together instead of doing crimes.
• Villainous Friendship: He helps Poison Ivy in her elaborate plan to help Harley realize that the Joker doesn't really love her in exchange for her getting him out of Arkham. A throwaway line from Ivy about owing Riddler money over a bet, when she was still extremely mysanthropic indicated that they were at least on speaking-terms with each other. Subverted big time later on, when they are on opposite sides.

The Penguin

The Penguin (Oswald Cobblepot)

Voiced by: Wayne Knight

---

• Adaptational Diversity: The Penguin normally strongly identifies as a sophisticated, upper-class White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. In this continutity, however, he is Jewish.
• Bad Boss: He casually kills one of his employees for saying hi to him, because several already did that and he felt it was disingenuous if said too many times. When Clayface disguises himself as a waiter and tells the Penguin he killed the last one, he doesn't even question it.
• But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Deconstructed. He kills employees so often that when a transformed Clayface replaces the real waiter, he instantly believes the story that he killed Jeffery despite knowing the guy by name and Clayface's nervous hesitation. His casual dismissal that it "Does sound like [me]" shows how he can't fact check something that should be important.
• Death by Disfigurement: Harley bites off his nose, leaving a gaping, bloody hole in its place. He dies not long after.
• Defeat Means Friendship: He applauds Harley when she defeats Aquaman and seems to have forgiven her for ruining his nephew's bar mitzvah. This doesn't stop him from becoming Harley's enemy in Season 2 when she rejects his offer to work with the Injustice League.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He at least cares enough about his nephew to throw him a lavish bar mitzvah.
• High-Class Glass: He's got his usual monocle, but here it's tinted a dark gray color.
• Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Harley stabs him in the neck with her broken bat and rams it all the way through the top of his skull.
• Improbable Aiming Skills: He's able to shoot a running Harley with a tranquilizer dart, and later shoot a bullet down the barrel of Harley's gun to destroy it. The calm with which he does the latter indicates that he pulls this kind of thing off with some regularity.
• Kosher Nostra: He says he decided to become a crime lord during his own Bar Mitzvah.
• Nasal Trauma: Harley bites off his nose in the Season 2 premiere.
• Nepotism: He's trying to get his nephew involved in organized crime.
• Punch-Clock Villain: Sees being a crime lord as a vocation.
• Signature Headgear: It wouldn't be the Penguin without a snazzy topper. He even gives an identical hat to Joshua to symbolize how he'll pass his criminal enterprise down to him.
• Sinister Schnoz: Like his comics counterpart, he has a long, thin, nose. In Season 2, Harley bites it off.
• Starter Villain: For Season 2, being the first member of the newly-formed Injustice League that Harley has to get rid of in her quest to take over Gotham.
• Underestimating Badassery: He thinks Harley is an easy kill after her bat gets broken. Unfortunately for him, what he calls a "defrosted gymnast" has an easy time dodging his grenade launcher; Harley has the fight won as soon as he loses sight of her in the aftermath.
• Wicked Pretentious: As is usual for the character, he's a violent thug who wears fancy clothes and runs an upscale nightclub.

Mr. Freeze

Mr. Freeze (Victor Fries)

Voiced by: Alfred Molina

A former cryogenics scientist trapped within his own technology and uses ice and cold as his motif. Appears in Season 2.

---

• Act of True Love: Witnessing Mr. Freeze willingly giving up all his blood to save his terminally ill wife is what makes Harley realize what true love is about.
• Adaptational Attractiveness: Victor is usually depicted as a geeky-looking, bald man. Here, he has a muscular build, chiseled jawline, and a snazzy mohawk.
• Adaptational Backstory Change: Before he went supervillain, Victor was a wealthy and powerful CEO rather than a white-collar scientist.
• Adaptational Nice Guy: While other versions of Mr. Freeze have been sympathetic, they were typically portrayed as cold and anti-social. This interpretation however is outright hospitable, offering meals to Harley and her crew even when they tried to kill him.
• Adaptational Personality Change: As noted above, most incarnations of Mr. Freeze are outwardly cold and emotionless while this version is much more friendly and personable.
• Affably Evil: Freeze is not beyond reason and can be downright pleasant, so long as your death will not help him cure Nora, or you do not stand in his way of curing her.
• Alas, Poor Villain: Downplayed in that this version is hardly even a villain. Freeze dies a Heroic Suicide to save Nora and proclaims his love for her before encouraging for her to move on from his death.
• And I Must Scream: He describes his life trapped inside the cryosuit as "god forsaken" and something he only put up with to save find a way to save Nora.
• Anti-Villain: His sympathetic motivations, Affably Evil manners and the Heroic Sacrifice he pulls at the end of "Thawing Hearts" put him into this territory.
• Bad People Abuse Animals: He shows Harley's crew the alarming amount of snow rats that have died because of his failed experiments to find a cure for Nora.
• Bait-and-Switch: The show plays with idea that Freeze might just be a lunatic deluding himself that Nora is his wife, going in hand with the New 52's retcon before Rebirth switched it back. She's frozen with an expression of horror, has a feeding tube leading into her mouth, and Freeze speaks as if she's still conscious. Harley projects her own issues with the Joker onto him, believing he destroyed Nora's life. However, in the end, the show sticks with the infinitely more popular backstory of Freeze and Nora being deeply in love with each other, with Freeze as his most sympathetic version.
• Casting Gag: As Freeze here is like the BTAS version, then this won't be the first time Molina has played a supervillain scientist who lost his wife.
• Comically Serious: Given the nature of the wacky situations he is in, it's impossible for him not to be this.
• Composite Character: His physical appearance is based on his New 52 depiction (particularly the blue mohawk and his containment suit's lack of sleeves), but his origin and personality are closer to his pre-Flashpoint incarnation where Nora actually was his wife and he became the way he is as a side effect of keeping Nora cryogenically frozen while trying to cure her of a terminal illness.
• Crazy-Prepared: When having lunch with Harley's crew he has them frozen to their chairs to keep them from trying anything.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Easily defeats Harley's crew with his freezing gun. When Harley makes an attempt at fighting him again, it ends with her getting frozen again.
• Ditzy Genius: He blows open the Penguin's door because he couldn't push it open... only for the Penguin to explain the door is pulled open.
• Dying Declaration of Love: As he lies dying as a result of Ivy's cure for Nora's disease, his final words are to encourage Nora to live a happy life.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: There is no way to stress this enough: Nora is everything to Victor.
• Happily Married: Victor and Nora adore and respect one another completely.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Takes Ivy's drug that will convert his blood to Nora's, even though it will kill him, all in the name of saving Nora's life and without a second of hesitation. Even Doctor Psycho is moved to tears by this.
• Heroic Suicide: His act of giving his life to save his wife has shades of this. By his own admission, he views his life inside the cryo-suit as a form of hell, and he only tolerates it so he can live long enough to save Nora. It is possible that he finds the fact that the transfusion will kill him a good thing.
• I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: With his last breaths, he encourages Nora to move on from his death and find happiness.
• Justified Criminal: He participates in organized crime to gather the funding necessary to research a cure for his wife's illness.
• Living on Borrowed Time: He needs to live inside a cryo-suit so he can extend his lifespan and continue the research needed to find a cure for Nora.
• Love Makes You Evil: The whole motive of his villainy is finding a cure for his dying wife.
• Mythology Gag: Closed captioning labels Freeze's accent as German (despite it sounding more Russian). In live-action, Freeze was played by two Austrians, Otto Preminger and Arnold Schwarzenegger, with their own accents, and by the British George Sanders and American Eli Wallach both doing German accents. Mr. Freeze just having an accent must itself be the gag.
• Noble Demon: He is willing to become a criminal to fund his research, but there are still lines he won't cross. It's revealed that he froze Harley to placate the rest of the Injustice League, who were actually planning to kill her.
• Nominal Villain: Mr. Freeze only turned to crime in order to find a cure for his wife Nora. He displays none of the cruelty and sadism common among the other Gotham villains. In fact, the most evil thing he does in the show is freezing Harley and putting her on display as a sculpture, and the only reason he did that was to keep the other villains from killing her. In the end, he sacrifices himself to save his wife, proving himself to be a good man deep down.
• No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine: He and "Nora" host a dinner for Harley and crew as a show of good faith. It's just as disturbing as you might imagine.
• Politically Correct Villain: Played for Laughs. He froze Harley to save her life, and acknowledged in disgust that his fellow crime lords loved it due to being white, cis-gendered, heterosexual men who wanted to make a woman an object of mockery. King Shark soon calls out Harley for attacking the most "woke" ice-themed villain in New New Gotham.
• Redemption Equals Death: Freeze's choice to let himself die for the sake of saving Nora proves that deep down he's a good person at heart.
• Sense Loss Sadness: He can no longer eat cooked food as it would fatally raise his body temperature and he asks Dr. Psycho to describe what it's like to eat a piece of steak during dinner.
• Sheep in Sheep's Clothing: As Harley found out way too late, he really is nothing like the Joker. He really was keeping his wife frozen for her own safety and really did have every intention of giving up Supervillainy once she was cured. Even when Harley freed her prematurely his only concern was keeping her safe and never sought revenge on her, he even passed up the opportunity of killing her to save Nora in favour of a Heroic Sacrifice.
• Shout-Out: His story about how he and Nora met was literally just like You've Got Mail, so you'd be forgiven for thinking he was making it up.
• Taking You with Me: After Harley accidentally condemns Nora to die by freeing her from her ice prison, Mr. Freeze threatens to blow himself up along with everyone present unless Harley can get Ivy to find a cure for her.
• Token Good Teammate: It's revealed in "Thawing Hearts" that he only froze Harley because the alternative was the Injustice League killing her, and his goals are more sympathetic than those of the other four.
• Unseen No More: In Season 1, he's mentioned by a realtor showing his former lair to Harley and Ivy, and the place definitely had his custom renovations style. When he finally shows up in Season 2, this is lampshaded by Harley noting that it's "been a minute".
• Unusual Eyebrows: His eyebrows are long and kinked.
• Would Hit a Girl: Knocks out Harley with her own bat; justified since she attacked him twice before that, and considering how "woke" he is, it’s more than likely Mr. Freeze is pretty egalitarian. (He also needed a test subject for an experiment and unconscious subjects are easier to handle.)

Apokolips

Darkseid

Darkseid (Uxas)

Voiced by: Michael Ironside

The ruler of Apokolips.

---

• Adaptational Nice Guy: Surprisingly, yes. Most versions of Darkseid would not even entertain the thought of giving an army to anyone unless it would benefit any of his plans. That said he is still the same ruthless dictator who desires the eradication of free will throughout the known universe. Likewise, him mentioning Harley was filling a void was him attempting to genuinely advise her.
• Catchphrase: "Darkseid IS... (perfectly ordinary action)".
• The Comically Serious: He constantly interrupts Harley from speaking while giving his speech with no change in his tone whatsoever, and also points out that Harley is repressing issues and trying to compensate with his army. And then there's thinking Orange Julius is a person and not understanding that Chuck is a person's name in "Lover's Quarrel".
• The Dreaded: While partially played for comedy, Harley's crew is clearly terrified of him and makes point to always keep reffering to him in some grandoise way to avoid ticking him off. Even when Doctor Psycho steals the helmet that boosts his power he is still terrified of Darkseid and is quick to suck up to him in his presence.
• Even Evil Has Standards:
  • Tells Doctor Psycho that not even he would call someone a cunt.
  • Doctor Psycho explaining his backstory where he saw so many people die in a Ferris wheel accident is the reason he hates women prompts Darkseid to simply state that Psycho's reasoning makes no sense and almost end the transmission with him.
• Galactic Conqueror: He is introduced crushing the skull of Forager after declaring the conquest of his world.
• Greater-Scope Villain: Easily the most dangerous villain to appear in the show so far, but he doesn't appear interested in Earth, much less Gotham City. His only role so far has been supplying an army of his Parademons to Harley in Season 2. After Harley backs out of the deal, Doctor Psycho takes control of the army and makes a new deal to be given Earth in exchange for Harley's head.
• Hero Killer: Harley and her crew first meet him in person as he slaughters Forager.
• Knight of Cerebus: Similar to Lex Luthor, he has plenty of funny moments, but the plot of the second season does get more serious with his introduction and Harley getting an army of Parademons. When Doctor Psycho is displeased with Harley not wanting to use the Parademon army to Take Over the World, he takes control of the Parademons and plans to conquer the world himself.
• Large and in Charge: He is a giant, even making King Shark look tiny in comparison.
• Pet the Dog: Despite wanting Doctor Psycho to kill Harley for breaking her deal with him, when Harley does defeat Psycho he is so impressed with Harley that he offers her the means to conquer Earth. Downplayed since when she backs out of the deal, he swears to kill her in the future.
• Villain Has a Point: Quickly notices Harley is trying to fill a void in her heart and advises that what she is doing won't work.
• Villain of Another Story: He is a Galactic Conqueror and a much more dangerous villain than any of the show's cast, but his appearance so far has just been as a benefactor to Harley Quinn.

Steppenwolf

Steppenwolf

Voiced by: Keith Ferguson

Ambassador to Apokolips.

---

• Big Man on Campus: Corporate variety. Steppenwolf is considered the guy to impress at Luthor's space conference. Poison Ivy literally eliminates the competition in view of him to show off her villainous capacity.
• Composite Character: Appearance-wise he resembles a mix of Jack Kirby's original design crossed with the Steppenwolf from the theatrical cut of Justice League.
• Evil Sounds Deep: He has a booming voice.
• Hellhound: Steppenwolf has a big scary dog that acts as his steed.

Others

Kite Man

Kite Man (Charles Brown)

Voiced by: Matt Oberg

A perverted and cowardly loser supervillain who uses a giant kite to commit crimes. In spite of his silliness and questionable competence, he displays a surprising level of emotional intelligence.

---

• Affably Evil: While he's supposed to be a villain like most of the cast, he's an all round decent guy. He doesn't even count as 'evil' because he never does anything bad.
• Always Someone Better: He implies that he lost the category of Best D-List Villain to Codpiece.
• Amicable Exes: Despite how badly their relationship fell apart, when he reappears in Season 3, he displays no hostility towards neither Ivy nor Harley and even happily makes note on how Harley's relationship with Ivy has made her a better person. Regardless of how things ended between them, he's grateful that dating Ivy made him enough of a big name to be nominated at the Villy Awards.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: He falls in love with Ivy because she's the only person who has recognized his good qualities enough to give him a chance and stand up for him.
• Betty and Veronica: In Season 2, Ivy is torn between her feelings for her friend Harley and her fiancé Kite Man. Kite Man is the Betty because he's pleasant, stable and dorky, making him the "safer" relationship option next to Harley. However, he is the one that breaks off the relationship when he realizes he's not the one for her.
• Beware the Nice Ones: He is nice and forgiving despite being a villain but he finally reaches his breaking point after Gordon ruins the wedding. Even though he's angry with Ivy, he's merciful enough to end the relationship for Ivy since she doesn't want to be with him. He still leaves her and Harley behind for the police but he knows they're both capable of escaping the police.
• Big Damn Heroes: His ability to fly allows him to save people when need be. First time being when he saves Ivy, Harley and her crew from a cyclops through flight and squirting hot sauce in said cyclops' eye.
• Breakout Character: Became one enough to have his own spin-off in Kite Man: Hell Yeah!.
• Butt-Monkey: He's always abused or humiliated in some way but he seemingly takes it in stride and Ivy does know he means well when he helps out.
• Casanova Wannabe: He thinks he's a smooth-talking ladies' man, but he's just a perverted idiot. He admits later in his debut he's not too good with women. It's when he drops the act that Ivy shows interest in him.
• Catchphrase: "Hell yeah."
• Chivalrous Pervert: As he says so himself, he cares about what Ivy thinks as much as he cares about her ass.
• Dogged Nice Guy: Towards Poison Ivy, who initially sees him as a joke like everyone else. Once she realizes he can be nice to be around, she starts giving in to his advances. He does successfully manage to enter a relationship with Ivy some time before "The Line", but Ivy displays some embarrassment towards how open he is about their relationship.
• Dumbass Has a Point: While he's not dumb per say, he himself says he's simple. However, he's no fool as he makes it known:
  • On his first date with Ivy, after he realizes that Ivy is embarrassed to been seen with him and wears extra clothing to conceal her idenity, he calls her out for it.
  • In "A Fight Worth Fighting For" he points out that him and Ivy getting married before stopping the army of Parademons is a bad idea. Ivy, trying to Altar the Speed due to her one night stand with Harley, ignores Kite Man's advice; he is quickly proven right.
• Endearingly Dorky: Although he comes across as a lame loser at first, Ivy discovers he's a friendly, dorky, if somewhat pushy guy and starts dating him. Harley later agrees that Kite Man is a very likable guy once she sees his honest, if misguided attempt to make Ivy happy by stealing a "whimsical" ring for her.
• Extreme Doormat: He never stands up for himself when people mock him and treat him like a joke. However, he doesn't let it get to him much. It's implied that this is the result of his own parents being condescending of him because he lacks superpowers while his parents have them. This allow him to mesh well for a bit with Ivy because of her own assertive personality. Ironically enough, he sticks up for himself against her when he realizes that they're not meant to be together and breaks it off for them.
• Female Fighter, Male Handler: He has this with Ivy. Ivy has control over plant life, decent combat skills and thus a dangerous villainess. Kite Man is a Non-Action Guy who doesn't help much, but he can fly and he's quite good at flying with the kite.
• Freudian Excuse: Possibly. While his self-confidence is genuine, one gets the feeling that his earlier act and social awkwardness is the result of his parents' verbal abuse toward him.
• Graceful in Their Element: Say what you will about him, he is a good flier and knows how to use his kite well when needed. Ivy calls Kite Man to save her, Harley, and her crew from a death trap sprung on them by the Queen of Fables. He saves them magnificently. He later saves Harley from death.
• Green and Mean: Downplayed. His outfit is green and he's a villain but is very nice and friendly.
• Harmless Villain: Much like in the comics, he's not taken seriously as a villain in the slightest and is seen as a joke by pretty much every other supervillain.
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: Even though it's conditional, he can still fly and has used it to pull off some impressive stunts (including saving Harley's crew plus Ivy from a cyclops). In Season 2, he's able to use this to help Harley and Ivy cover good ground over the ruined Gotham.
• Hidden Depths:
  • At first he tries being a womanizer but to no avail as Ivy is put off by his perversion and inability to take a hint. When he decides to drop this and starts interacting with Ivy with no ulterior motive, Ivy starts becoming interested in him and the two start dating. Through Kite Man, Ivy starts coming further out of her shell and Kite Man learns that being himself is enough to win someone over.
  • Season 2 reveals that he knows Morse-Code, which comes in handy when translating for Sy's cybernetic eye.
• Honorary True Companion: He never officially joins Harley's crew, but since he's dating Ivy, he does go out of his way to give them a ride and saves their lives at least once.
• I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: There are definitely some sour feelings motivating his decision to break off his engagement with Ivy, but it is partially because he realizes that Ivy's heart belongs to Harley rather than him. He tells her upfront that he isn't the person for her.
• Informed Loner: Zigzagged. He is portrayed as an outcast who everyone treats as a joke, but not many characters actually mock him as such, and he still gets invited to villain parties and is able to convince random bar goons to work jobs for him. However, this is to demonstrate that even someone as pathetic as Kite Man gets more respect in the villain community than Harley, thus his Joke Character status is used to draw attention to a major theme of the series.
• In Love with Love: Both he and Ivy have shades of this to each other. From his end, his hurry to marry her before she's completely ready is more motivated by a fear of not being able to find another woman who actually likes him so much and is as cool as Ivy. However, he does break it off through a combination of realizing they're not meant for each other and that he deserves better.
• Meaningful Name: His real name is Charles Brown... yes, just like the Peanuts comic strip character. Much like his namesake, he gets no respect from his peers and also has a crush on a red-haired girl. Furthermore, his kite-theme is a reference to how the comic strip character would get his kites stuck in the infamous "kite-eating tree". Kite Man's red-haired girlfriend can control trees.
• Muggle Born of Mages: His father and mother have ice powers and the ability to fly, respectively. Both were disappointed when Kite-Man had no powers.
• Never Bareheaded: Even the time he thought (wrongly) that Ivy was going to have sex with him, he stripped off everything but kept on the mask.
• Nice Guy: Perverted tendencies and attempted villainy aside, he's actually a pretty decent guy, even sorta befriending Ivy by the end of his debut and then the two becoming a couple a few episodes later.
• Non-Action Guy: Probably the only supervillain in the show who can't fight at all.
• The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Despite being a supposed supervillain, he is never actually seen doing anything evil during the series proper. If he weren't hanging out with villains, it would be a stretch to call him one at all.
• Prince Charming Wannabe: He can't seem to take the hint that Ivy doesn't want to sleep with him, at least until she declines after he literally jumps into her bed naked.
• Romantic False Lead: Kite Man's role as Ivy's fiancé is to create drama when Harley realizes she's in love with Ivy and have Ivy reject Harley despite clearly loving her back because she isn't steady like Kite Man. After Kite Man finds out Ivy cheated on him with Harley and then Gordon ruins their wedding, Kite Man breaks down crying because he realizes he and Ivy were never meant to be. He coldly but mercifully breaks off the engagement and tells Ivy that she doesn't want to be with him and he deserves someone better. Harley and Ivy hook up minutes later.
• Romantic Runner-Up: Ivy did like Kite Man and accepted his marriage proposal because she thought she probably wouldn't find someone better to settle with. A few episodes later, however, Ivy starts an affair with Harley in some heated moments. At their wedding, Kite Man realizes Ivy is just forcing herself to choose him to run away from her feelings for Harley. Kite Man then calls off the wedding because he recognizes he deserves better, which gives way for Ivy to hook up with Harley.
• Satellite Love Interest: Downplayed. While Kite Man does have some defined characterization, his role and participation in all episodes he appears in are focused on his romantic relationship with Ivy. Whenever he helps Harley's crew, it's to do Ivy a favor.
• Small Name, Big Ego: His "powers" are pretty pathetic, to say the least, but he seems to think they're a lot cooler than they actually are. Ironically, his absolute confidence in himself is something that Poison Ivy considers attractive.
• Sweet and Sour Grapes: He manages to conquer Ivy when he decides to stop acting like a Casanova.
• Throw the Dog a Bone: He seems to have picked himself up quite well by Season 3. He not only got an award nomination in a separate villain award show but is also in a happy and stable relationship with Golden Glider.
• Undying Loyalty: After Ivy is apparently killed by the Joker, Kite Man refuses to leave the side of her grave for weeks. Subverted in the season 2 finale, where he leaves Ivy to fight the cops by herself, after finally getting fed up with her and Harley's shenanigans.
• Useless Superpowers: He openly admits that taking a cab would be faster than a kite.
  • Subverted in Season 2, where his kite is Harley and Ivy's main mode of transport, and his ability to fly over the ruined Gotham is increasingly important.
• Weaksauce Weakness: The only villain whose crimes are weather-dependent.

Giganta

Giganta (Doris Zeul)

Voiced by: Vanessa Marshall

A villainess with a size-shifting ability. She is Doctor Psycho's ex-wife and mother of Herman Cizko.

---

• Adaptational Nice Guy: This Giganta isn't shown openly engaging in any acts of supervillainy in the show and is instead living the suburban life and trying to raise her son.
• Casting Gag: A traditional nemesis of Wonder Woman, she shares her voice actress in this show.
• The Faceless: Her first appearance has her so tall, her face is out of shot the entire scene. Her face is revealed in her second appearance.
• Giant Woman: True to form, she is extremely tall.
• Jerkass: Openly refers to Ivy as a "jolly green whore" as she's standing right there. Though considering how she is associating with Doctor Psycho, the man who mind controlled her into conceiving his child without her consent, she isn't totally wrong even if her anger is misplaced.
• Mind Rape: Doctor Psycho uses mind control to make her love him, marry him, and have their child. During a talk show interview, she snaps out of it and calls him out on it.
• Mythology Gag: Her costume is basically what she wore in Justice League, only with her hair no longer in a ponytail.
• Taking the Kids: After snapping out of his mind control, she leaves Doctor Psycho and takes their son Herman with her.
• Team Member in the Adaptation: Inverted; despite being a founding member of the Legion of Doom in Super Friends and other adaptations, this version of Giganta appears to have no affiliation with the Legion.
• Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: She's a Giant Woman who was married to the Depraved Dwarf Doctor Psycho, though not by choice.

The Queen of Fables

Queen of Fables (Tsaritsa)

Voiced by: Wanda Sykes

A sorceress with the power to conjure living versions of fables.

---

• Adaptational Intelligence: Unlike her comics counterpart, she harbors no delusions about Wonder Woman being Snow White or Superman being Prince Charming.
• Adaptational Jerkass: Compared to her comics counterpart, who wants to recreate her empire, she's an unrepentant mass-murder, blames being trapped in a tax book on her being a villainess trying to be as good as her male contemporaries, and is pretty snarky in general.
• Adaptational Nice Guy: While she is more villainous, she's also far more personable than her comics counterpart.
• Adaptational Wimp: To a degree. In the comics, the Queen of Fables is an otherworldly force of fiction made real who - as long as there is imagination - can warp all of reality to her whims. In this series, she appears to be a (comparatively) normal human witch who uses a spell that is limited to bringing fictional characters to life.
• Ambition Is Evil: In her view, to be the top villain you have to cross all moral boundaries.
• And I Must Scream: Downplayed. Although she was trapped in a book for 30 years, she was still able to semi-function in society.
• Animate Inanimate Object: She was sealed inside a copy of the U.S. Master Tax Guide by Zatanna, but can still talk (and smoke). She's freed in "The Line" when it's deemed cruel and unusual punishment by a court.
• Asshole Victim: Given that the Justice League deemed her dangerous enough to seal her into a book rather than just shipping her off to Arkham, and even other villains find her brutal methods repulsive, no one mourned her when Harley knocked her head off her shoulders.
• Ax-Crazy: Considering her go-to solution to every problem is killing everyone in her immediate vicinity in an incredibly gory fashion, she's definitely this.
• Bad Boss: She treats her storytale characters like tools.
• Bond Villain Stupidity: Played with. As a storyteller villain she tries to kill people in a sensational manner, which to be fair no normal people could handle. She sent Harley's crew up the beanstalk to be killed by the giant living there, which would be effective since they couldn't fly back down, and she didn't count on Kite Man rescuing them all.
• Broken Pedestal: Harley used to look up to her as a role model, but she's disgusted by the Queen's mass-murdering habits when they team up.
• Card-Carrying Villain: Deconstructed. She uses being a bad guy as an excuse to do horrible actions and, thanks to her "villains don't give a fuck" mentality, feels absolutely no remorse for any of it. What's worse, she seems to feel that this level of extremism is the only way to make it as a villain.
• Co-Dragons: She and the Scarecrow become this to the Joker, helping him in his plan to take over Gotham and kill Harley Quinn.
• Disproportionate Retribution: Sees her fate as this, as the male villains have done far worse and just get a stint in Arkham that they'll escape from half the time, while she got stuck in a book permanently. Her actions when freed cast a little bit of doubt on how disproportionate it actually was, though. Ironically she herself is a big fan of this, advocating for ending the bloodline to deal with a single witness.
• Dissonant Serenity: She maintains her chipper Sassy Black Woman shtick even as she gruesomely murders scores of people in horrifying ways. It's disturbing enough to disgust even Harley when they team up.
• Even Evil Has Standards: A Defied Trope. She sees standards as something heroes have, and that villains "don't give a fuck."
• Eviler than Thou: Implied to be the real reason why she was sealed in a book rather than simply sent to Arkham. Even other supervillains with the exception of the Joker are disturbed by her mass-murders.
• Face Death with Dignity: After getting her head knocked off, instead of being furious or breaking down, her decapitated head just mutters a mildly annoyed "Aw shit".
• False Friend: Acted as a friend to Harley while she was sealed inside a book. Once freed, she quickly turns on Harley, even though Harley saved her from being sent to Arkham. While the two appeared to be friends when Harley saved her from being killed, the Queen of Fables still sided with the Joker and attempted to kill Harley.
• Faux Affably Evil: Comes off as Affably Evil at first. When freed from the book she was sealed in, she proves to not only be an unrepentant mass murderer, but she will turn on supposed friends in a heartbeat.
• Fed to Pigs: Her choice of crime scene cleanup is summoning the The Three Little Pigs. Thank heavens we don't get to see them chowing down, but the crew does, and it ain't pretty.
• Genre Savvy: As a story-themed villain, she knows all about the conventions of narrative (Leave No Witnesses, Everybody Has Standards, etc).
• God Save Us from the Queen!: Her villain name is the Queen of Fables and she is evil and Ax-Crazy even by regular villain standards.
• Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: She sits back and smokes cigarettes as she lets her Big Bad Wolf massacre an innocent family, and then puts the used cigarettes in the mouth of one of the corpses.
• Graceful Loser: Well, "graceful" might be the wrong term for it, but when Harley outsmarts her and is about to kill her, she says "Props!" with a somewhat impressed tone before getting her head knocked off.
• Irony: She believes she was sealed in a book instead of being sent to Arkham on the grounds that she was a woman. She says this to Harley, who has been locked up in Arkham several times over.
• Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: She intially acts like Harley's friend, but despite Harley saving her from Arkham, she turns on her. Harley saving her life does her no favors as the Queen of Fables still works with the Joker to murder her and take over Gotham by the end of the season.
• Karma Houdini Warranty: After she is released from her prison, she massacres an entire family and then double-crosses Harley's group. Despite this, Harley saves her from being killed by Jason Praxis and lets her go free. She is eventually killed by Harley when karma finally bites her.
• Knight of Cerebus: Once released from her tax book prison, she quickly becomes the darkest villain so far.
• Lack of Empathy: According to her, villains "don't give a fuck" and aren't supposed to. Deconstructed too since she takes it to her own teammates.
• Major Injury Underreaction: She seemed more annoyed than hurt when Harley decapitated her.
• Mundane Utility:
  • Trapped inside a copy of the U.S. tax code, she made the best of a bad situation and opened a tax filing business. She also has one of the gingerbread men doing office work (it was better than turning tricks on the street, according to the gingerbread man).
  • She casually murders her own conjuration of Humpty Dumpty so she can make scrambled eggs.
• Murder Is the Best Solution: Strongly believes in this trope. Someone (who's at a family reunion) sees you committing a crime? Brutally murder them and the entire family (just to make sure they avoid any revenge scenario).
• Off with Her Head!: Harley knocks her head off with her bat in "Devil's Snare".
• Oracular Head: The trailer for "Kite Man Hell Yeah" reveals she's still alive even after being beheaded, but is now in a Futurama-esque jar to carry her head.
• Properly Paranoid: She murders an entire family to avoid any revenge scenario, and is vindicated when the one Harley spares comes back for revenge just as she predicted. Downplayed in that her killing an entire family just because of one witness could very much be considered as unnecessary.
• Race Lift: She is turned from a white woman to a black woman. Downplayed, however, as in comics version isn't white in the sense that she is Caucasian but in the sense that her skin is an inhuman, bleached pure white.
• Sassy Black Woman: Well, she is voiced by Wanda Sykes. Plus, it presents an appropriately absurd contrast to her initial predicament.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: The Justice League sealed her in a book after she tried to take over Gotham. Later on, it's suggested it was also because of her excessively violent approach as a supervillain.
• Shadow Archetype: She is what Harley would be if she didn't have any standards: unfettered and uncaring, flamboyant, selfish and sociopathic, and on good terms with the Joker.
• The Sociopath: She's heavily implied to be this. Superficially, she's charming and spirited, but is quick to reveal that she has no second thoughts about using mass murder as a solution to literally any problem, and not caring if other criminals are horrified. She has no remorse or conscience, openly calling herself a villain. She also displays a serious lack of empathy; besides not caring for those she murders, she seems unable to realize how her fellow supervillains could be disturbed by her actions or see her actions as rightfully excessive.
• Squishy Wizard: She can summon deadly fairy tale creatures, but damage her book and she's rendered defenseless. And a baseball bat to the back of the head will rip her head off of her shoulders.
• Summon Magic: She has the power to summon characters from fairy tales and use them at her command. She can also summon her staff and book.
• The Unfettered: Even Harley (who entertained the thought of killing Robin) is completely horrified at what the Queen did to that family reunion, only for the Queen to flat-out state that she is a villain and that's what they do. Harley tries to argue Even Evil Has Standards, only for the Queen to claim "villains don't give a fuck".
• Ungrateful Bastard: Harley rightfully points out that even though they eventually had a falling out, she still broke Fables out of prison and helped her get back in the villain game when nobody else gave her a chance, charity which Fables repays by trying to screw her over out of pride. Even after Harley saves her life, she still swears revenge for the hit to her ego.
• Unreliable Narrator: Her description of her fight against the Justice League shows them brutally attacking her henchmen. Harley Quinn sees through it, as "there is no way Superman did that". Tsaritsa admits that she's exaggerating "to add flavor." "The Line" reveals that this also applies to how she describes her fate. She states that she was imprisoned solely because she was a female villain trying to take over the world. The moment she's freed, it's revealed she's an unrepentant mass murderer whose scenes of gory destruction disgust even other supervillains.
• Villain Has a Point: When Harley states she has a line she won't cross, the Queen of Fables responds that the Legion of Doom has no such standards. Harley's attempts to join the Legion do nothing but prove her point.
  • The Justice League's willingness to throw Harley's entire crew into the Phantom Zone over a reasonable (but wrong) hunch with no trial or even much of an argument lends a lot of credence to her claim that them trapping her in the book was at least an overreaction. This is further vindicated by them being willing to kill Harley's crew while the crew are being mind controlled near the end of season 2 and deciding to banish the mind controlled Ivy to the Phantom Zone forever instead of retrieving her after Dr. Psycho is defeated.
  • Her insistence that she needed to kill everyone at the family reunion to prevent any survivors from coming back to get revenge is proven right when Jason Praxis does exactly that. Downplayed, however, as the only reason he was after her was because she killed everyone at the family reunion.
• Would Hurt a Child: She kills several children in the Praxis family reunion.
• Wrong Genre Savvy:
  • She assumes she is free to go after being let out of the tax book, only to be informed that she still has to serve out the rest of her sentence and is being sent to Arkham.
  • Most criminals don't find the wanton slaughter of innocents to be an acceptable solution to silencing a single witness. As such, her homicidal tendencies and extremely violent methods absolutely horrify Harley and her crew, who then decide to kick her out.

Maxie Zeus

Maxie Zeus

Voiced by: Will Sasso

A well-known supervillain and motivational speaker who patterns himself after the Greek Gods

---

• Adaptational Badass: In the comics, he has a reputation as a Harmless Villain with a silly gimmick. Here, he's not only strong enough to beat the stuffing out of Clayface, but also clever enough to see through Clayface's disguise and trick him into blowing his cover. And in "The Runaway Bridesmaid", he can shoot lightning from his hands.
• Adaptational Jerkass: While he was always evil, he was never quite as repulsive as shown here.
• Ambiguous Situation: It was not clear at first whether he's just really interested in Greek mythology or if, like in the comics, he actually thinks he's the Greek god Zeus. Then Clayface posed as his whatif son (who Maxie thought didn't exist since the woman he hooked up with had an abortion), declaring said son was half-god, then that turned out to be a ruse as mentioned below.
  • The ambiguity is ramped up in the second season where he's on Themysceria alongside God of War Ares as a male stripper. And in "The Runaway Bridesmaid", he can shoot lightning from his hands.
• Ancient Grome: His gimmick is a clear mishmash of Ancient Greek and Roman aesthetics.
• Bald of Evil: This version of the character is bald.
• Beard of Evil: As usual, he's got a prominent beard to match his "Greek God" motif.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He seems genuinely committed to Nora Fries, even protecting her when Ivy and Kite Man's wedding goes awry.
• Going Commando: He's not wearing any underwear under his toga, and he thinks nothing of exposing himself to people.
• Hate Sink: He's not meant to be likable at all; as he's tactless, narcissistic, petty, and a sexual predator.
• Jerkass: He's a self-absorbed, misogynistic creep with zero redeeming qualities.
• Light Is Not Good: He wears a white toga, which gives him a divine appearance and his lair is covered in gold, but make no mistake, he is an overall jerk.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: He physically resembles pro wrestler/commentator turned politician Jesse "The Body" Ventura and his voice actor (who is known for being a talented impressionist) is doing a very obvious impression of him.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: Not only is he a total creep who believes himself entitled to bang any woman he feels attracted to, but he also calls Dr. Psycho a midget, a slur aimed at short people.
• Second Love: Believe it or not, he's this to Nora Fries after Mr. Freeze's death. And from what we've seen, it's a surprisingly committed relationship despite Zeus's promiscuity.
• Self-Serving Memory: When he sees Harley with Clayface and Dr. Psycho, he refers to Harley as the woman he chose not to have sex with, when what actually happened was that Harley bluntly turned him down the instant he tried to make a move on her.
• Sex for Services: He tries to pressure Harley into having sex with him in exchange for his help in making her a better villain. Of course, she refuses.
• Shameless Fanservice Guy: He doesn't care if anyone sees his junk and makes no effort to cover himself if his toga goes askew. He even serves as one of the male strippers in Themysceria.
• Shock and Awe: He can shoot lightning blasts from his hands.
• Shrine to Self: His mansion is full of statues of himself, all nude with their junk on full display.
• STD Immunity: Averted; Harley takes a look at his junk and, since psychiatrists have some medical training, determines that he's got something nasty down there. On seeing a statue of him, Doctor Psycho agrees it looks "disturbing."
• Villain with Good Publicity: An odd twist in that the public knows that he's a villain, but he's well-respected as an entrepreneur and self-help guru in the villain community. Of course, none of them have any idea how depraved he truly is...
• Wrestler in All of Us: He uses an elbow drop on Clayface and then threatens a piledriver.

Catwoman

Catwoman (Selina Kyle)

Voiced by: Sanaa Lathan

Cat-burglar and occasional love-interest of Batman. Appears in Season 2.

---

See her folder in Harley Quinn's crew page for more information.

Dr. Trap

Doctor Trap (Larry Trapp)

Voiced by: Alan Tudyk

A villain who specializes in boobytraps.

---

• Non-Action Guy: Brilliant at building traps, but he's essentially helpless when Harley finally confronts him face to face.
• Rogues' Gallery Transplant: A fairly obscure one at that. He was introduced in the rather obscure comic series Chase as the lifelong nemesis of DEO agent Cameron Chase. He later appeared in the pages of Manhunter.
• Smug Snake: He loves to gloat about his traps.
• Trap Master: He's actually really good at his job, Harley requires an ace burglar to be able to defeat him.

The Condiment King

Condiment King (Mitchell Mayo)

Voiced by: Alan Tudyk

A villain who uses condiments as weapons. Kite Man's nemesis.

---

• Adaptational Curves: Is noticeably fatter than any prior interpretation of the character.
• Composite Character: He resembles the character as depicted in Batman: The Animated Series while having the real name of the mainline comic's interpretation of the character.
• Eaten Alive: Ivy has Frank eat him and his fiancee so she and Kite-Man can have their wedding venue.
• Evil Is Petty: Shoots some mustard on Kite Man's tux just to make him look bad in front of the wedding hall's owner.
• Evil Versus Evil: He is Kite Man's archnemesis, despite both of them being (wannabe) "super"-villains.
• Fat Bastard: He's a bit chubby and acts like a grade A dick towards Kite-Man.
• Meaningful Name: After a fashion, in that a condiment is something you eat.
• Pungeon Master: He loves his condiment puns.
• Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: He and Kite Man are constantly throwing petty pranks at each other rather than trying to kill each other. Gets subverted, with extreme prejudice, by the introduction of an actual supervillainess, Ivy, into the equation - and her man-eating plant, of course.
• Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: His fiancee Becca is much more attractive than he is.
• Underwear of Power: He wears a pair of tighty whities on the outside of his costume. It makes him look even more ridiculous.

Plastique

Plastique (Bette Sans Souci)

Voiced by: Kari Wahlgren

A backup member of the Suicide Squad.

---

• Badass Longcoat: She sports one that carries all of her explosives.
• Mad Bomber: Is armed with every kind of grenade and C4 she can carry.
• No-Respect Guy: She's a Suicide Squad C-lister who Ivy only heard of as a failed Canadian terrorist. The only reason she's a threat is because of her explosives.
• Pun: As she says when introducing herself, Plastique is the bomb.
• Taking You with Me: She delivers her coup de grace by detonating all the bombs she's wearing. Though it's a bit of a Delayed Explosion.

Golden Glider

Golden Glider (Lisa Snart)

Voiced by: Cathy Ang

Kite-Man's new girlfriend, after his break-up with Ivy.

---

• Adaptation Personality Change: In the comics, Golden Glider is very much The Vamp, a Cute But Psycho young woman who is typically one of the more outright villainous members of The Rogues, and though she can be personable she's got a vicious mean streak. Here she appears to be a Nice Girl who's somewhat socially awkward and anxious, and bonds with Poison Ivy over their shared insecurities around the other.
• Affably Evil: She’s a professional supervillain, but from little we’ve seen so far, she’s a very pleasant and Endearingly Dorky woman.
• Birds of a Feather: She and Kite Man are both Endearingly Dorky and love gliding in the air. He and Poison Ivy both think her skates are like "Kites for the feet".
• Church Going Villain: Subverted, at first she seems appalled that Ivy would do supervillain work on a Sunday before admitting that was a joke.
• Does Not Like Spam: Hates onions, so Kite Man stopped using them in his chili for her.
• Domino Mask: She wears a golden mask that covers the area around her eyes.
• Endearingly Dorky: Is a shy woman who makes weird jokes and admits to being addicted to screens. Still, she and Kite Man are clearly happy together, and even Ivy takes a liking to her.
• The Missus and the Ex: She runs into Ivy in the Villy Awards. After getting over the initial awkwardness, they bond over what a good boyfriend Kite-Man is and they agree they're both lucky of having dated him.
• Nice Girl: Despite her supervillain status and her social anxiety, she’s quite easy to talk to.
• Power Glows: When she activates her skates, they and herself glow quite bright.
• Race Lift: She's played by and appears to be an Asian-American in this version.
• Satellite Love Interest: Her only appearance introduces her as Kite-Man's new girlfriend and she doesn't have much characterization beyond being a Nice Girl.
• Tricked-Out Shoes: She uses a pair of specialized skates that allow her to glide through the air.

Riddler's boyfriend.

• Adaptational Sexuality: He's in a homosexual relationship with Riddler in this incarnation.
• Freakiness Shame: He's ashamed of having a clock for a head, but Riddler thinks he's beautiful just the way he is.
• Morality Pet: He brings out a surprisingly loving side of Riddler.
• Non-Human Head: His head is a clock. He cries from minute marks on opposite sides of his head.
• Satellite Love Interest: His only actual appearance in the series has him going with Riddler to the Villy Awards because they were nominated as "Best Couple" of the year.
• Unholy Matrimony: He's dating his fellow supervillain Riddler. However, by the time they're introduced as a couple, they seem to have put villainy aside to run an escape room company together.

Music Meister

Music Meister

Voiced by: Larry Owens

A therapist of sorts, able to force others to sing about their feelings.

---

• Adaptational Hairstyle Change: He has a beard when his Batman: The Brave and the Bold and Arrowverse incarnations were clean-shaven.
• Adaptational Heroism: In the cartoon he originated from, he's an attempted murderer who caused a mass breakout at Arkham and very nearly took over the world. Here, the most villainous thing he's done is force Bruce and Selina into having a therapy session.
• Composite Character: His personality is more similar to the Arrowverse version of the character as he's non-malicious and uses his powers to try and fix Bruce and Selina's relationship, but like his original incarnation he seems to be a human with the ability to hypnotize people into singing instead of some kind of divine being.
• The Music Meister: The Trope Namer himself, with the power to force people to sing against their will.
• Race Lift: He was white in his original appearance on Batman: The Brave and the Bold and in his Arrowverse incarnation, but is black here.

Captain Boomerang

Voiced by: Josh Helman

A criminal who uses boomerangs as weapons.

---

• Battle Boomerang: He uses boomerangs as weapons.
• The Bogan: As usual, he's an Australian crook with no scruples to speak of.
• Likes Older Women: "Gotham's Hottest Hotties" implies he's a gerontophile, with Harley remarking that he goes to the senior center because he loves "mature women".

Talia Al Ghul

Talia Al Ghul

Voiced by: Aline Elasmar

Mother of Damian Wayne, and CEO of Wayne Enterprises during Bruce's incarceration.

---

• Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: She's a black-haired woman with an aloof and businesslike personality.
• Dating Catwoman: She was in a "passionate love affair" with Batman despite being his enemy, and has a son with him.
• Disappointed in You: In Season 4 finale, she expresses her disappointment in Poison Ivy when the latter refuses to give up on completely taking down Lex Luthor and pushes her vendetta against him instead of handling it like a "professional" as Talia would.
• Doesn't Know Their Own Child: When she returns to the Bat Family, she fails to realize that Damian is a grown boy now, thinking he would still be in diapers. She even looks at buying a pacifier for him.
• Greater-Scope Villain: Talia serves as this for Season 4. Talia may not be a direct threat to Harley and Ivy, but it's her manipulations on Ivy that causes Ivy to double down on upstaging Lex Luthor, driving him to block the sun and steal Superman's powers, while Talia takes away the Bat-Family's vast resources before resurrecting Nightwing to serve under her.
• High-Powered Career Woman: A hardass billionaire businesswoman adored by Gotham's other girlbosses.
• Icy Blue Eyes: She has cold blue eyes that match her cold personality.
• Iron Lady: She comes back to take over Wayne Enterprises while her ex is in jail and commands the Bat-Family like a total hardass.
• Maternally Challenged: While she's a successful career woman, she clearly has no idea how to be a proper mother to Damian, treating her 12-year-old son no different from the last time she saw him as a baby. She gets him presents that are completely inappropriate for his age, like a pacifier and a rattle.
• Missing Mom: She has been absent from Damian's life since his infancy.
• Ms. Fanservice: As per usual for her appearances. She has a sexy Middle Eastern accent, wears form-fitting clothing, and has a fantastic body. Talia is also shown in a photo making out with Bruce Wayne in nothing but a revealing white dress. Harley Quinn even calls her a "cashmere goddess" upon first seeing her.
• Parental Neglect: Talia hasn't seen her son since he was in diapers. She said she would start taking care of Damian after her return, but almost nothing changes between them because she's too busy with work to spend quality time with him. For example, she forgets his birthday and gives him a present several months late.
• Pet the Dog: She's far from being a decent mother to Damian, but she does send ninja bodyguards to keep him safe after Nightwing is found dead.
• Playing Both Sides: Talia works with both the Bat Family and the Legion of Doom. This actually bites her as after Ivy ruins her business thanks to her help. She can't help but give Ivy some respect.
• Tyrant Takes the Helm: Bruce named her as conservator of Wayne Enterprises in his absence. She quickly begins cutting funds for the Bat Family's crime fighting and instead shows more interest in her own shady interests like funding wars in foreign countries to influence world politics.
• Worthy Opponent: She sees Ivy as a worthy business rival, especially after Ivy's tree planting plan tanked Wayne Enterprises' stock.
