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]
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

On New Year's Eve a decade later, Batman and Batgirl attempt to stop him by bringing Grey's teenage son, Matthew, 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.

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.
