History Characters / BatmanTheTelltaleSeriesCriminals

* WhereDoesSheGetAllOfThoseWonderfulToys: It's never revealed where got her high-tech staff, suit, and hover boots from, nor where she got the training to become someone almost on-par with Batman.
* WhiteMaskOfDoom: Sports a very intimidating one that resembles a skull.

* VillainHasAPoint: During their final battle, if Batman argues that Falcone and Hill should've been tried fairly, they retort that both of their sheer ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections made them untouchable -- so outright killing them was actually a favor to Gotham. Given how they were TheDreaded to virtually every authority figure around, it's actually very hard to fault them; in fact, even Batman himself remains silent about it afterward.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: If Bruce unmasks himself in their final battle, [[spoiler:Vicki is stunned at the revelation that Bruce is not some coward hiding in his ivory tower and is the city's protector and forces herself to rationalize this as him using Batman as his way of preying upon the weak...despite the fact that he only attacks amoral people and criminals. It’s easier than admitting that her mindset that all HumansAreBastards is wrong.]]

* DropTheHammer: She carries around a sledgehammer as her main weapon. [[spoiler:In the Vigilante version of Season 2 Episode 5, the Agency gives her a new high-tech hammer with [[ShockAndAwe an electrified head]] to use against Batman and the Joker.]]

* CharacterDeath: Gets shot dead at the hospital in episode 2 [[spoiler:courtesy of Renee Montoya.]]

* RedHerring: He [[spoiler:didn't steal the chemicals]]. Also, given the fact that [[spoiler:he's partially responsible of Two-Face's birth in the comics]], his involvement in Dent's campaign would lead you to believe that [[spoiler:he would have a hand in Two-Face's birth here too]]. He doesn't. [[spoiler:It's also hinted that that he had the Wayne's killed, but he didn't. On top of that, he is coincidentally killed when he's about to reveal who the real killer was.

** And, despite his grand talk, he's nothing more than a pawn to the real villain. [[spoiler:Vicki Vale]].

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: If Bruce unmasks himself in their final battle, [[spoiler:Vicki is stunned at the revelation that Bruce is not some coward hiding in his ivory tower and is the city's protector and forces herself to rationalize this as him using Batman as his way of preying upon the weak...despite said people being less than amoral.]]

* CrazyPrepared: Being the top criminal in the city has led him to make his penthouse office a veritable fortress, complete with bulletproof lockdown shutters on the windows, an arsenal of guns, and a button-activated turret that descends from the ceiling.

** He's a mob boss, but Falcone claims that he's not responsible for [[spoiler:the chemical theft during which a bunch of cops and mercenaries died, as he claims those were ''his'' chemicals. After all, as Falcone explains, does Batman really think Falcone ''wanted'' to lure Batman on his trail?]]
** He also claims that [[spoiler:he didn't hire Joe Chill to kill the Waynes, but was killed before he could say any more]].

* DramaticUnmask: [[spoiler:During their fight in Episode 5, Batman [[ShatteredFaceplate shatters]] Vicki's mask, forcing her to confront him with her true face for the rest of the encounter.]]

* GutturalGrowler: He has a [[EvilSoundsDeep very deep]], [[EvilSoundsRaspy raspy voice]], which is par for the course for any character played by Richard [=McGonagle=].

!![[Comicbook/{{Catwoman}} Selina Kyle]]

!![[ComicBook/ThePenguin Oswald "Oz" Cobblepot]]

!![[ComicBook/TheRiddler "Eddie"]]

** While Riddler is at least usually depicted as a recognized criminal, this iteration is an international terrorist being globally tracked by Interpol and the Agency. He even got sentenced to life in Peña Duro (the prison ''ComicBook/{{Bane}}'' was born in), which he ''broke out of'' almost immediately. [[spoiler:This may be what earned Bane's respect, as shown in the next episode.]]

* DyingClue: [[spoiler:Just as he's dying, he reveals that he was a member of the Pact, alongside [[ComicBook/TheJoker "that white-faced prick"]].]]

* VillainousBreakdown: True to form, his confident demeanor completely falls apart when Batman takes apart his carefully engineered trap at the end of his episode. [[spoiler:However, this is in part due to the fact that his associates didn't come to back him up, something he blames on [[ComicBook/TheJoker that white-faced prick]].]]

!![[ComicBook/HarleyQuinn Dr. Harleen Quinzel]]

* AdaptationalJerkass: Harley typically considers Catwoman to be one of her best friends, alongside ComicBook/PoisonIvy. Here, she acts largely cold and indifferent towards Selina and if [[spoiler:Bruce decides to frame Selina as the mole in the Pact, Harley has her thrown into one of the Riddler's death traps.]]

* HijackedByGanon: Despite being the BigBad for much of Season 2, she is usurped from this position in the season finale by [[BigBadFriend John Doe]] who ends up becoming ComicBook/TheJoker. [[spoiler:Though it's downplayed in the villain route where unlike most portrayals of their relationship where The Joker is clearly in charge, Harley still calls a majority of the shots and it's her that drives the plan to gas Gotham, while The Joker has to keep his attempts to sabotage the plan by giving away the map a secret, despite the idea to gas Gotham to find someone immune was his plan in the first place, so he can play with Bruce more.]]

* SwappedRoles: In this universe, ''she'' is the subject of ''[[ComicBook/TheJoker John Doe's]]'' affection in the MadLove relationship, rather than vice versa, and is the one who seeks to corrupt him. However, [[spoiler:one potential ending of Episode 4 seems to have them stepping into their traditional roles as John slowly begins to assert himself more and Harley starts succumbing to her hereditary mental illness. In episode 5 they are more equal as partners in the villain path.]]

!!ComicBook/{{Bane}}

* SelfFulfillingProphesy: [[spoiler:After her father committed suicide as a result of her family's genetic mental illness, she became obsessed with finding a cure before it affected her. However, in her desperate bid to do so, she ended up only succumbing to her mental instability even sooner, committing violent acts of larceny and murder all in an ironic attempt to stop herself from being seen as a madwoman.]]

* RedHerring: He [[spoiler:didn't steal the chemicals]]. Also, given the fact that [[spoiler:he's partially responsible of Two-Face's birth in the comics]], his involvement in Dent's campaign would lead you to believe that [[spoiler:he would have a hand in Two-Face's birth here too]]. He doesn't.

'''[[center: [- [[Characters/BatmanTheTelltaleSeries Main Character Index]] -]]]'''

* OutOfFocus: In the Vigilante version of Season 2 Episode 5, [[spoiler:she's reduced to a short segment where's either forcibly or willingly part of Waller's Suicide Squad. If Bruce doesn't betray her, she's also shown saving him from the rubble of the collapsed roof, but even if Bruce confesses his love and gets Waller to let her go, she still doesn't make an appearance beyond this.]]
