Description
Batman and all related characters are the property of DC Comics.Looking at the Batman villains that appeared on The Batman, I noticed that the Alice in Wonderland-obsessed Jervis Tetch, alias the Mad Hatter, oddly, wasn't used. I mean, out of the four big villains that TB hasn't used (MH, Two-Face, Ra's al Ghul, and Scarecrow), he doesn't have anything keeping him out of play as far we know. The other three have the Nolan Batman films (Batman Begins and The Dark Knight seemingly keeping them out of play (Joker hasn't been affected, though). So I decided to try my hand at doing a The Batman-ized version of Tetch.
I wanted something that could look like it'd fit in with the first two or three seasons, but still recognizable as the Mad Hatter. I also wanted to dirty him up a bit so he looked like he hasn't seen the sun in a while.
While some of them are not obvious, influences for this depiction came from the following: The Batman Returns and The Batman versions of Penguin, Superman: Doomsday's Toyman, the Ben 10 villains Zombozo and Hex, and The Batman's version of Killer Moth pre-transformation.

He was supposed to appear in the series, but for some reason, he got replaced with Spellbinder.

Cool. I would like to see Mad Hatter if ever they do any other seasons of The Batman.

I always wondered why characters such as the Scarecrow and the Hatter didn't appear at all on TB,they would had fit fabulously on the show's aesthetic.
What do you think?

I agree that they look kinda cool. There was an image of an unused design of Scarecrow that would've been nice to see on the show.

Yeah, I saw while searching on Wikipedia. A bit cartoonish, but not bad.
BTW, do you like TB fan fics?

Yeah. In fact, I'm in the middle of writing one (providing I can get off of bum and finish writing Chapter 4). Why?

Love the design! A lot more than the crappy season 5 designs, to be sure.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you liked it. Any particular one/few from Season 5 you don't like or just all of them?

Well, excluding Count Vertigo, they are all just horrifically plain-looking. Even the extras are blander now (though not to the degree that Bruce Timm's were--ZING!).

Ah, I see. Som of it I do have to agree with, though the Terrible Trio are pretty interesting looking, IMO.
