Batman: Arkham Origins Will Get Stylish With Mad Hatter

[Baron_BJ]

Which Hatter will turn up? The Secret Six psychic Mad Hatter who single-handedly destroyed the Doom Patrol until he was contained by his team mates, or the Silver Age buffoon? Either way he looks way too tall.

He looks tall because he's being held in the air by his neck, he was shown in Arkham City as being rather short.

It also wouldn't matter which version since The Mad Hatter is retarded regardless. I really loathe the character, I cannot fathom why writers continue to use him.

Because you can do a lot with hypnosis and mind control, simple.

snip.

completely different method, and since when has poison Ivy caused vivid Hallucinations? You're just making excuses because you don't like a character. Gotham has a diverse amount of villains and MH fills a more specialised spot, one of the better episodes of Batman TAS was when MH had Batman in a dreamworld.

Mind you I would have prefered Count Vertigo than Mad Hatter but this is early in his career, Scarecrow is probably still working in Arkham or something and Ivy may not be a eco-terrorist yet.

It's hardly just excuses, yes, the methodology is different but silly hats are not an interesting methodology. Just because a writer may be able to make something good with the character it doesn't make the character good. Any stock Mind Control Villain could do the same thing without the idiotic trappings.

Count Vertigo is a bit more of a Green Arrow villain, though I will cop to the idea that this early on a lot of villains probably haven't appeared yet.
