Thorne created all the villains in Gotham. Riddler•that company is a shell company for Thorne, and Edward got fired due to Thorne using the companies management to take Edwards game. Penguin•Throne owned the chemicals that plagued Cobblepots pregnancy, which birthed a son with defects.. Two Face•obvious how Thorne was involved. Joker•The chemicals that made Joker, were of one of Thornes shell companies. Poison Ivy•same as Joker, and Two Face and, the list goes on.. Thornes hand is every creation of Gothams villains/criminal underground society figureheads. Thorne is the greatest threat to Batman without being seen, or on the scene. There’s a reason every criminal has a certain level of fear, and respect for him- the Kingpin of Gotham.
This list forgot a couple of villains from the later seasons of Batman the animated series, one being fire fly that was introduced in season four. The other was a daredevil named Roxy rocket.
Batman TAS came out when I was 6 so between that and Batman Returns and the SNES game all this was the beginnings of Batman being my FAVORITE super hero...RIP Kevin Conroy 😀
You left out Man Bat from Episode 1. And some of the minor one time villains like Calendar Girl, Farmer Brown, Firefly ( from season 4…unless you count that as a separate series…I always lumped all the season as BTAS, although some people refer to The New Adventures of Batman & Robin, ect Good video none the less.
Yeah, Calendar Man and Calendar Girl would really go great together, the farm animals Farmer Brown has would give Rolf's a run for his money, but throw in 2004's the Batman with the 90s Batman animated series and the Arkhamverse, then Firefly would have more frequent uses than what you're pointing out
Harley Quinn's origin digs deeper in the comics where she met a boy at a Halloween Party at high school who killed her bully just to show his love for her. That would explain why she kept the stuffed beaver in her room that she stole from his house and it's a memento of her first love.
The thing is, her true origins originate from Arleen Sorkin doing a circus clown comedy routine & the creators of _Batman: The Animated Series_ hired her to portray the former Arkham psychologist lead astray into the path of villainy by the likes of The Joker & Poison Ivy purely based on that comedic skit alone. Sorkin voiced Harley for the entirety of _Batman: The Animated Series_ in all of its iterations (including the darker original first seasons, the middle seasons rebranded as _The New Adventures of Batman & Robin_ & the final season titled _The New Batman Adventures_ which used the art style of _Superman: The Animated Series_ instead) & even voiced the character one last time years later in the first Arkham Asylum video game before handing the role over to Tara Strong (who was already on the show as the voice of Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl/Oracle) from Arkham City going forward.
I can't believe you missed a good opportunity for a joke. When you mentioned that two-faced encountered Rupert Thorne you miss the opportunity to say the two met face to face to face 🤣
@@damianprock1650 So, really, the reviewer saying it when it's already in the episode would've ruined the joke, because nobody likes redundancy, but especially comedians, who feel like they need to have fresh material every single time for their audiences.
Maybe it’s because I heard the line somewhere, but I can’t help but compare each villain to the journey, skills, and identity, of Batman, from the most well known to the most one-note villains. I think that’s why Batman’s rogues gallery works so well, each villain is a dark reflection of a part of Batman…
you missed three that were of some importance to the story lines. they are red hood, man-bat, and black mask. are you going to do a second video on these guys?
@@damianprock1650 I prefer Ivy with Harley, because really, Ivy shouldn't be able to be with any man, because her deadly kisses are fatal to practically all males. Only certain females immune to Ivy's toxins can avoid getting killed by them (Harley & Catwoman being 2 of them) and of course, Batman and Robin have their own counter-antidote to Ivy's tricks.
@@TherealRNOwwfpooh then you haven't seen the first two seasons of the Harley Quinn animated series, besides, Charlie Brown from Charles Schultz' comic strips had a romantic fling with a little girl with red hair, something that gives us great indication that since Kite Man's secret identity is known as Charlie Brown, that tells me that Schultz' most popular character and Batman's albeit odd-looking foe are one and the same, I reckon the same would be said about the little red-haired girl and Poison Ivy
@@damianprock1650 Charlie Brown was based on Schulz himself & the other Peanuts characters are based on close friends and family he knew. Besides Sally being Charlie Brown's sister (who, in the '80s, was voiced by a very young Fergie [current female singer of the Black Eyed Peas]), fussbudget Lucy Van Pelt's constant belittling of Charlie Brown was based on Schulz's first wife Joyce calling the Peanuts creator out on his personal faults (many of which helped to make Charlie Brown into the lovable loser he is) & following their divorce in real-life, the Beethoven-playing piano prodigy Schroeder was added to the strip to give Lucy a new target who would rarely admit to having "Grown Accustomed to Your Face" but would actually miss Lucy's presence (and constant talking about getting married in the future) when it was thought that the Van Pelts were going to be permanently written out of the franchise when the children's father accepted a job out of town, thus prompting them to move away. Thankfully, things returned to normal when it turns out the Van Pelts moved back because the dad didn't like the job at the new location, so he took his old job back, so Sally got reunited with her "Sweet Babboo" & Schroeder got his muse (sure, Beethoven's his idol & primary inspiration, but at certain moments when Lucy's not there to pester him, Schroeder would unwittingly end up thinking about her, so she's essentially taken over his subconscious thoughts) back. As it relates to the Little Red Haired Girl (named Heather in the animated specials), she forever remained mysterious & elusive in the comic strips, because she was deliberately intended to be something unattainable. The reason for this was because her entire character was based on a redheaded female ex-coworker whom Schulz had a crush on, but as is always the case with wishy-washy old "Chuck", he never had the gumption to ask her out, so that by the time he finally summoned enough courage to talk to her, she politely turned him down on the grounds that she was already in a happy relationship. Meanwhile, "Sparky" was seemingly unaware (or perhaps he was, it's hard to tell with him sometimes) that he did have some females who actually liked him. This played out in the Peanuts canon in the form of both single parent army tomboy D-list student Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reinhardt & her inseparable bespectacled clumsy sidekick Marcie Johnston clearly being smitten with Charlie Brown ("You kind of LIKE Chuck, don't you, Sir?" "Me? Who could love dull, boring wishy-washy old Chuck?" ~Charlie Brown overhears this & walks away, making Peppermint Patty feel bad for trying to keep her obvious crush on the resident blockhead hidden~ "Well, some of us find Charles quite handsome, Sir."). The thing about the Peppermint Patty & Marcie situation was (And before you even think about making those off-collar lesbian jokes, only Marcie may swing that way, considering how she's legitimately based upon & outright modeled after Schulz family friend & famous lesbian tennis legend, Billie Jean King), while both of them were fond of Charlie Brown, they only really acknowledged it between themselves, as it was not always a given that moments between either of the two girls & Charlie Brown would be included, yet it was a nice treat on occasion to see Peppermint Patty cast aside her rough 'n tumble image & actually attempt to flirt with Charlie Brown in her own blunt way ("You touched my hand, Chuck. You sly dog."), considering how her tsundere personality & military family background was actually taken from Schulz's 2nd wife who survived him, with their children taking on the reigns of the Peanuts brand going forward Following Schulz's death, his widow & children stayed true to his wishes to have nobody else draw the Peanuts in newspapers (instead, the old strips would be reissued under the title "Classic Peanuts"). In fact, even when new shows starring the characters end up getting made, although the shows may come equipped with slightly different visual tweaks on the iconic Peanuts art style, the spirit of the franchise is retained, because the stories contained therein are basically retreads of what happened before in newspaper comics & earlier preceding TV specials/theatrical movies/TV shows. This was even true when the Peanuts gang were made into CGI for the 2015 film _The Peanuts Movie_ by Bluesky Studios, because aside from one modern song being included ("Better When I'm Dancing" by Megan Trainer) for promotional marketing, the rest of the music was pianist David Benoit simply redoing the classic Vince Gerauldi Trio scores identifiable with the Peanuts TV specials, theatrical movies, and TV shows, meanwhile the threadbare plot is vintage Peanuts, with everything going wrong for Charlie Brown as per usual, at least on the surface. At school, the teacher Missus Othmar -- complete with the "wah-wah"" voice of a slide trombone -- ends up giving out a homework assignment that is over half of a student's grade & it's a joint book report, whereby partnered students have to work together to make sure they pass the class for the year. Unfortunately, for Charlie Brown, his elation at getting Heather for his partner just results in him having to do all of the work himself, because Heather's once again providing to be ever elusive & not on-screen when it would be beneficial for her to be on-screen. Just before the film wraps up -- of course, Charlie Brown does succeed in passing class with his book report on Tolstoy's long novel _War & Peace_ -- Heather is seen about to board a school bus (presumably off for summer camp, I'm guessing), however Charlie Brown's frantically trying to reach her before the bus pulls away & he actually uses the Kite-Eating Tree to launch himself towards the parked bus. Just as Heather was about to step onto the bus, Charlie Brown finally talks to her, asking her why she picked him for her book report partner (even though she probably knew that he'd be the one doing all of the work), at which point her confused expression softens & she says she picked him because she knew he'd never give up on making sure both of them passed class, as his never-quit attitude & genuine nice guy personality both override the fact that life tends to turn out negatively for him on a regular basis. It's that can-do spirit & well-meaning nature that makes Charlie Brown likeable despite how it seems the world is constantly out to ruin everything for him. Just before the bus door closes, Heather briefly kisses Charlie Brown on the cheek & takes back her chewed-up pencil that Charlie Brown had been holding onto for the entire movie after she had accidentally dropped it, at which point all of the other Peanuts children -- including those who've spent most of their time making fun of Charlie Brown -- rally around Charlie Brown, who at long last, finally gets something of a happy ending for once in his life.
@@TherealRNOwwfpooh ARE YOU TRYING TO INSULT THE MEMORY OF MY AUNT?!?!?!😡 Besides, Charlie Brown's constant abuse by his peers would be a better backstory than what DC threw in for Kite Man during his time in the comic books
The great thing about Batman villains is Sunday if you have a character like baby doll or the ventriloquist who really don't have evil intent they just suffer from medical issues beyond their control characters like that are really sad and you really have to feel for them.
You just wait til the Ventriloquist meets Puppet King, Mojo Jojo, Fuzzy Lumpkins, HIM, and Princess Morbucks and Baby Doll meets Clock King and Overload
@@damianprock1650 Why are we taking about Batman villains meeting Powerpuff Girls (classic) villains (Mojo Jojo [a hyper intelligent primate with a distinctive speech pattern -- whereby he often repeats/restates/reiterates certain parts of a sentence -- who was Professor Utonium's original sidekick before an accident saw him lose his scalp & have to cover his exposed brain with something akin to an astronaut's helmet], Fuzzy Lumpkins [a pink hillbilly gorilla, who always wants people to "Git off-a my prop-er-tay!"], HIM [The Devil, albeit flamboyantly androgynous, since he's depicted with slender feminine legs & has a high falsetto voice, but he also has a twisted beard & lobster claws for hands & can be seen wearing a outfit similar to that of Santa Claus in traditional media], and Princess Morbucks [think an evil wealthy version of Little Orphan Annie, whose adopted dad is billionaire Mr. Warbucks]) & selective Teen Titans 2003-2006 cartoon villains (Puppet King [basically an evil equivalent of Pinocchio that wants to turn his adversaries into his slaves by transferring their minds into motionless toy lookalikes whilst their mindless bodies would be under his command, unless his remote control device that keeps him alive is destroyed, at which point he becomes a lifeless marionette again] & Overload [a sentient AI that can control anything electrical])?
@@TherealRNOwwfpooh well, Puppet King took control of Batman's first sidekick, Dick Grayson, something that would've also made him an enemy of Batman's, because of how he was able to take control of Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy, he might even end up separating the Ventriloquist's personalities, making Scarface reveal his true colors, granted that the Powerpuff Girls were DC at one point, it's only fair for there to be a mashup
This joker would take over a tv show & not almost break out in tears.... Unlike other garbage portrayals that were only made to please the panzy emo boys
