Description
This is the title card from a very special upcoming episode of Familiar Faces. So special I may need some help...A tragicly under used Batman Batman villian, dispite the fact that her first apparence is so rememberable.

Such an underrated villain; really wish that we see more of her in future comics or future animated films. Β ^_^
Sad that she's so underused.

She reminds me a lot of Darla Dimple from Cat's Don't Dance.

Dude. I literally just saw this episode of your show. I must say because of it I wanna write something with her now. Thanks for the inspiration man.

Why does everyone tend to forget her? I remember her episode and being one of my favorites. It's just so tragic at the end and I love it for that. I am glad he did a video for her because she deserve more recognition and her episode is truly a gem.

Probably one of the best Batman villains out there. And what better way to convey this and officially reveal your face than with assistance from the Critic who got Paul Dini's attention with his Top 11 Best Episodes?

Loved this episode and loved your review. But it occurred to me (and this can probably be explained by Mary being a Prima Donna or hard to work with, or too many people associating her with her sitcom role) but why couldn't Mary get more parts? Think about it; Mary's an adult who doesn't age and can still convince people, even Batman, that she's a real little girl. You don't need special insurance or considerations like chaperones or tutors since she's not a minor, and unlike most actual child actors, she can actually act. Add that to all the years the public had to forget about her old role before being reintroduced to her cast in a completely different light by her fight with Batman, and what studio wouldn't jump on every creey-evil-demon-child-thriller script they can find while the news is hot and have their fingers primed to dial her number the moment she gets out of Arkham? And after that she's good for any fantasy or sci-fi role that calls for a character that doesn't age or ages very slowly, or even a show like Lost where time passes slower on the show than it does in real life.
Also, wouldn't Clayface make a better partner for her than Croc? He was an actor too.

Some have suggested Mad Hatter would actually be a better partner for her. Since unlike Croc, Mad Hatter DOES want to connect with his fellow human beings, but is a sociological mess and prefers to escape into fantasy rather than face reality whenever things don't go his way. Both would rather live in their fantasies than deal with the real world. And both turn violent when people don't play along.Β
Mary DID try to get more parts, but was her one role in a SERIOUS part (Lady Macbeth) met with ruthless reviews. You're RIGHT totally and utterly that as a child actress there would have been no end of part she could have COMPETENTLY played: but IMHO she wanted to be accepted in the world of adults.Β

I was talking more about why there wasn't interest from talent agencies, not Mary's own efforts to make a comeback. They could've made a really good episode based on that premise with Mary being excited at first because she was finally back in the limelight, but then getting sick of being typecast and having her work overshadowed by her reputation as "the former child actress who went crazy and tried to kill her old co-stars". But in her only other appearance the subject of her acting career, whether she was being offered parts but decided to stay away from acting or whether (for some reason) people still weren't interested in her, is never brought up. I guess Mad Hatter could be an interesting match for her (especially since I hear he's a pedophile in the comics). I imagine that relationship being very much like Joker and Harley's. Mary would be all over him like she was with Croc, while the Hatter just uses her as a substitute for Alice and doesn't think twice about using his tech to subvert her free will whenever it inconveniences him and then abandoning her at the literal drop of a hat.

I love this episode,this character and this review

One of my favorites: Favorite (sorta) one-shot Batman villian, one of my favorite episodes, and one of my favorites reviews by you.

To bad they didn't use her in Justice League and JLU...
She could been an interesting member of Grodd's Legion of Doom.

I'm I the only one who thinks that Baby Doll is similar to Suzy Johnson from Phineas and Ferb. Hear me out. It was the abandoning their baby sister line sealed the deal.

This was the first episode of Familiar Faces I saw, and I happened to come across it while searching YouTube for Nostalgia Critic videos. I think you did her character justice both in this picture and in the video. Too bad they didn't make her as sympathetic in that second episode.

i hope that if they make a good live-action batman tv series that they try to have her in at lest one episode.
i loved how you gave honor to her character in that episode you did.

I saw both episodes. Poor girl. So desperate for love, she just couldn't let go of her TV days.
Have you considered doing a Familiar Face for Annie (aka the "daughter" of Clayface?)

When I first saw this image, I thought it was Darla from Cats Don't Dance. I totally guessed wrong.

It was a good episode. Baby-Doll is one of my favorite villains in Batman's history (after Joker and Two-Face) and she didn't get enough exposure to audiences. IMHO, the second episode featuring her ("Love is a Croc") was not necessary and it kinda washes away some of the charm and genuine motivations Mary Dahl had in the first one, but even with that she's a solid character that just needed a little more love --from their creators.

I saw you're episode, and is it just me or did the whole 'Baby and Croco are a couple' thing seem kinda creepy?
I'm surprised you didn't make a "Croco is a kiddy fiddler" joke.

I remember this chick. She has that disorder ( a real actual disorder as a matter of fact ) where you stay the same size you are as a toddler.
She actually had a very deep voice when she spoke seriously though.

Baby Doll! Mary Dahl! One of my fav Batman villans from the original animated series, yes tragically under used...
π: 0 β©: 0
YES! I love Babydoll! She was such villain and she was only used twice! It really pissed me off!

I am so looking forward to your episode about Baby Doll. Although, I kinda hope you'd also talk about the Gray Ghost, a character Adam West played once on the show.

omg Baby Doll I haven't seen her in years! She's basically what happens when child stars go nuts, like Lindsey Lohan only with a gun in a dolls head
π: 0 β©: 0
I'm surprised they'd let her keep her doll when it had a gun hidden in it.

Dude, she scares me more than the Joker.
It's amazing how characters who get little screen time leave such a big impact.

Baby-Doll! This looks really cool. I like the references to the actual episode you made mon the posters. Well done!

I remember the character but don't remember her name. I felt a little sorry for her.

Wow, great to see you picked this character. I wish she wasn't so underused cause I always felt she was such a great character with lots of potential.

She was one of the two batman villains that started out as a TV star. Let me give you hint that will make everyone ask more questions. She had relationship with killer croc having sympathy with him. Wow I remember her well should I roll a clip of her or wait till you do her profile. She appeared in two episodes and first episode ended with her⦠Should I keep quiet till so not to spoil your announcement of her?

So the next FF will be Baby Doll? Awesome! I almost forgot about her, then again, that what FF is for.
In preparation for this, I wanted to watch her first episode, but I don't have the DVD its on and can't find it on the web, so it looks like I'm going in blind.
