List of The Batman characters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of characters that have appeared in the television series The Batman, which ran from September 11, 2004, to March 22, 2008. The animation style bares a strong resemblance to that of Jackie Chan Adventures, since Jeff Matsuda was the chief character designer for both shows. Many of the supervillains who appear in the series, like the Joker, Penguin and Riddler, are very different from their comic counterparts, and notable foes of Batman such as Two-Face, Scarecrow, Ra's al Ghul, and Mad Hatter are absent from the series altogether. While many characters adapted from the mainstream DC comics appear, some of them only did in the show's tie-in comic called The Batman Strikes. Characters that were planned for a guest appearance but ultimately did not appear were Wonder Woman,[1] Bizarro,[1] Vigilante,[2] and Owlman.[3]

Character Voice actor Description Appearances
Batman / Bruce Wayne Rino Romano The character is based on the comic book character of the same name and follows the same premise and origin, in which his parents are murdered in front of him at a young age and swears vengeance on criminals. The show follows Batman having recently started his career as a masked vigilante.
Robin / Nightwing / Dick Grayson
Based on the Dick Grayson version of Robin from the comic books, in this depiction instead of being a teenager or adult, he is 12. He borrows elements from the Tim Drake version, such as costume design and computer aptitude. His origin in "A Matter of Family" follows Grayson's from the comic books with the exception of his being Batman's second sidekick after Batgirl. The episode "Artifacts" included sections set in the year 2027 with the character appearing as Nightwing. Majority of the episodes from season four and five.
Batgirl / Barbara Gordon
The character is based on the Barbara Gordon version of Batgirl from the comic books. Her origin in the two-part "Batgirl Begins" deviates slightly from the comics in her acting as Batman's first sidekick prior to the introduction of Robin. "Artifacts" included sections set in the year 2027 with the character appearing as Oracle. Majority of the episodes from season three through five.
Alfred Pennyworth Alastair Duncan Based on the comic book character of the same name, he serves the same function as Bruce Wayne's butler, aide-de-camp, and surrogate father.

Character Voice actor Description Appearances
Detective Ethan Bennett / Clayface Steve Harris Bennett was created specifically for the series as one of three recurring police officers to interact with Batman. He is a supporter of Batman and is Bruce Wayne's high school friend within the Gotham City Police Department. At the end of the first season, fumes from the Joker's "Joker Putty" gives him the ability to reshape himself like clay. Taking the name Clayface, he becomes an outlaw. He remains Clayface until Season Four when he is cured; in "Artifacts" he is mentioned as having become Gotham City Chief of Police, replacing Angel Rojas.

While Bennett is not based on any of the comic-book Clayface characters, the ability he gains is that of the Silver Age version, Matt Hagen.

  • "Meltdown"
  • "Grundy's Night"
  • "Clayfaces"
Commissioner James Gordon Mitch Pileggi Based on the comic book character of the same name, he serves a similar function here as Batman's contact within the Gotham City Police Department. Unlike in the comics, the character is a later cast addition rather than a character from the beginning.

Chief Angel Rojas
Rojas was created specifically for the show as one of three recurring police officers to interact with Batman. He is the head of the precinct where Ellen Yin and Ethan Bennett work and most of the episodes are set. He believes Batman is the worst aspect of the criminal element and makes capturing him a priority. Majority of the episodes from season one and two.
Detective Ellen Yin Ming-Na Wen Yin was created specifically for the show as one of three recurring police officers to interact with #Batman, though her name and character arc are reminiscent of Commissioner Ellen Yindel from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. She is a new transfer to the Gotham City Police Department who does things by the book. She initially had oppositions about the Batman and aspires to capture and unmask him. Despite Batman saving her life a few times, she remains antagonistic. However over the course of the show, she begins to have a grudging respect for Batman and eventually becomes his ally.

On New Year's Eve a decade later, Batman and Batgirl attempt to stop him by bringing Grey's son to him. However, the poison he planned to detonate went off regardless. The grief of his son dying allowed him to successfully rewind all the way back to the day he took that pocket watch and decided not to steal it. This resulted in a new present-day where he and his son are fixing clocks together with Bruce being one of their clients.
  • "Seconds"
Harley Quinn Hynden Walch The character is based on the character of the same name from Batman: The Animated Series.

When Harley sought revenge, Joker helped but fled when the Dark Knight saved the folks. He left a message for Harley, ensuring she still sees him as a friend.

  • "The End of the Batman"

The Joker Kevin Michael Richardson The character is based on the comic book character of the same name but no full origin is provided within the series, although his origin has alluded to three times. The first was in "The Rubber Face of Comedy" where during his conversation with Det. Bennett, he remembers falling into the chemical bath. The second, in "Strange Minds", Dr. Strange and Batman travel into the mind of the Joker to find the Joker before his accident as a low-level office worker who once dreamed of "making people laugh", and finally in "The Apprentice", where he was planning to make his sidekick into "Joker Jr." by pushing him into the chemical bath. Joker is shown as a chronic resident of Arkham Asylum who commits elaborate crimes when free. He views these as "jokes" at the expense of Batman, the police, or the city in general. His original outfit is based on a straitjacket, but he later adapts the traditional purple suit and playing card gimmick.

He is the most recurring villain. This incarnation of the Joker is more physical than previous incarnations, actually engaging Batman and other opponents in physical battles and demonstrating some proficiency in martial arts, due to the fact that he wears no shoes (he either wears spats over bare feet or is completely barefoot, depending on the episode). He also has a significantly different appearance than his comic counterpart, having dreadlocks and red eyes with yellow pupils. He is one of the darker villains of the series, demonstrating a willingness to encourage the psychosis of others or even drive them insane as he did with Ethan Bennett, resulting in the latter's metamorphosis into Clayface. At one point he also attempted to replace Batman, using his toxins to leave Gotham citizens paralyzed with Joker grins on their faces as punishment for petty offenses, such as littering and speeding.
