Batman The Animated Series Legitimised The Mad Hatter

In today’s video, we’re going to talk about one Batman's disturbing villains—The Mad Hatter. Unlike many of Gotham’s more flamboyant foes, Jervis Tetch starts off as a sympathetic figure, a lonely man yearning for affection. But his descent into obsession and control makes him one of the more sickening characters in the series.

In this video, we’ll break down how Batman The Animated Series reimagines the Mad Hatter, stripping away the campy gimmicks from the comics and creating a far more believable, tragic, and terrifying villain. From his mind control technology to his obsessive love for Alice, this version of the Mad Hatter speaks to the darker, more uncomfortable sides of human nature.
