* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: His past life as Butch was ended by Barbara shooting him. In the comics, until a self-titled miniseries that served as a lead-in to ''ComicBook/BlackestNight'', [[MultipleChoicePast it was speculated]] that Cryus Gold was mugged and killed, murdered by a pimp who tried to blackmail him, hanged by a mob who thought he was a child molester -- and said miniseries stated Gold killed himself.

** She is forcibly [[PlotRelevantAgeUp aged up]] by one of Fish Mooney's goons (Marv/Subject 514A) and tries to make the best of her situation, reveling in her newly gorgeous exterior and making "friends" like The Penguin and Mr. Freeze. Her overtures of friendship are shattered by the villains as she inadvertently [[JustForPun plants the seeds]] for the Legion of Horribles Jerome will later hijack.

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the MadLove DarkMistress, where it almost seems like a TakeThat against the MisaimedFandom surrounding Harley Quinn. Ecco is just as insane as the Joker himself, with none of the childlike innocence or borderline sitcom shenanigans that make so many versions of Harley endearing. Even her MsFanservice qualities are significantly dialed down to show what she really is: an unkempt, mentally ill PsychoSupporter. Despite her attempts to win his affection, those feelings are never really reciprocated since Joker is far more focused on his obsession with [[ArchEnemy Bruce Wayne]]. Her undying love for a murdering psychopath, to the point of spending 10 years of her life waiting for his return, [[spoiler:gets her killed while carrying out one of his schemes, as said psychopath dismisses her death with a callous "plenty of other fish in the sea".]]

* AgeLift: Inverted. Solomon Grundy is [[Really700YearsOld hundreds of years old in the comics]] (he was born during the 19th century), but in this show, he's about 30-40 years old by the time he becomes a zombie. Additionally, because of DC deciding to keep Batman as a member of the Justice League and ignore Bruce's history with the Golden Age means Cryus's resurrection into Grundy and first forays as a super villain happened years before Bruce was even born. Here, his death and resurrection happen while Bruce is a teenager.

* CompositeCharacter: Her shapeshifting abilities is similar to Clayface, a character who actually appeared back in season 2 and 3. However unlike that version (who is Basil) Jane can actually shapeshift voluntarily, whereas Basil had to actually reconstruct his face manually. Gordon and Bullock do initially suspect that Jane is Basil due to him pulling a similar stunt back in the second season finale.

* IAmNotPretty: Played for horror. [[spoiler: Jane's face looks perfectly fine, but she believes she is horribly disfigured, and lost her sanity as a result]]

->'''Played By:''' Creator/ChristopherHeyerdahl

An Arkham inmate on the lam, who uses electric shocks to the brain to condition patients, using them as guinea pigs to perfect the process -- with the right amounts, they become his obedient minions that do whatever he says. The Gothamverse version of the Electrocutioner.

* ArcVillain: For Gordon's brief assignment at Arkham.
* AwesomeButImpractical: Pretty much every weapon he uses after his escape fall into this category.
** His deadly taser weapon for killing one person in an electrical shop, although capable of killing someone through a door, required two people to operate (or even carry).
** His Electrical grenade despite looking really cool ultimately did absolutely nothing but cause some minor electrical burns to Maroni's crew in the restaurant it was used in.
** His Super generator for attacking the GCPD was only capable of knocking out everyone in there, apart from Gordon because he wore thicker shoes.
** His homemade electrocutioner suit was capable of disarming Gordon from a fair distance and could probably have been very lethal if it charged fully; but Gordon easily destroys the contraption with a splash of water and thus rendered completely harmless.
* AxCrazy: Downplayed but present: he has absolutely no problems casually killing anyone in his way. When he electrocutes the entire GCPD, he expresses dismay it "only" knocked them unconscious.
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: While he initially seemed like to be a new character using an established villain identity like [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Temple Fugate]] or [[Series/LoisAndClark Kyle Griffin]], "Jack Gruber" is is ultimately revealed to be an alias and his real name is Jack Buchinsky", which means he's either the original Electrocutioner undergoing NamedByTheAdaptation[[note]]as the original's first name was never revealed[[/note]] or the third undergoing AdaptationNameChange[[note]]the third was the brother of the original and his first name was Lester[[/note]].
* ColdHam: When he's on-stage he's a shouting rip-roaring ham, but off-stage he's quiet and unassuming.
* CompositeCharacter: The use of electricity on criminals is reminiscent of the Electrocutioner, while also bearing similarities with Maxie Zeus in ''ComicBook/ArkhamAsylumASeriousHouseOnSeriousEarth'' by Creator/GrantMorrison as well as the Earth-One Dr. Hugo Strange, who not only wears glasses but also escaped Arkham with inmates he uses as test subjects.
* EvilIsBigger: Comes with being played by the 6ft 5in Christopher Heyerdahl - he's even taller than his brainwashed muscle (who's apparently 6ft 4in) and towers over Gordon.
* EvilVersusEvil: Once he escapes Arkham, his targets are other criminals who betrayed him and got him locked up. He just doesn't care about the innocents that get in the way of his pursuit, making him a villainous KnightTemplar.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's pretty friendly and polite, even when congratulating one of his victims on snapping a guard's neck as ordered. He also leaves Gordon an eloquent goodbye letter telling him what he's done and that he's going to keep doing it.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: A glasses-wearing rapist and murderer.
* GracefulLoser: Surprisingly, given Gordon foils his entire scheme, his response is to more or less accept it. He doesn't even look that upset when posing for the pictures after being caught.
* MadScientist: He really loves exploring electricity's more dangerous applications from using behavioural modification shocks to practice brainwashing, to murdering people. His own partner even kept all his kit serviceable for years, because he knew how important his "experiments" were to him.
* ObfuscatingInsanity: His entire psychological profile is based on a persona he made up to be admitted to Arkham so that he could experiment on patients and lay low waiting for vengeance on his compatriots.
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He intentionally uses this to get himself incarcerated in Arkham as "Gruber", described as a SerialRapist is a falsified profile. His actual crimes as Jack Buchinsky were a string of bank robberies.
* ShockAndAwe: He certainly has a way with electricity. He manages to rig a trap that electrocutes and incapacitates the entire GCPD.
* ShoutOut: Possibly to VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins, which also saw the Electrocutioner being defeated very easily, although the characters themselves are very different.
* TheSociopath: Subverted. His Arkham file identifies him as one, but this turned out to be a fabricated identity. Though he does meet some qualifications such as being a ConsummateLiar and having a disregard for human life.
* SoftSpokenSadist: He's very calm and even-toned always.
* SpannerInTheWorks: He throws a wrench into the Falcone-Maroni war when he electrocutes Cobblepot, and in a fit of shock he lets slip to Maroni he was going to meet Falcone.
* WeaksauceWeakness: He's foiled and captured by a cup of water; Gordon uses it to short out his equipment and render him helpless.
* WickedCultured: Is introduced performing in a classic play[[note]]''The Tempest'' by Shakespeare[[/note]], which is revealed to be of his own choosing.

->'''Played by:''' Sarah Pidgeon

A mentally ill young woman and former test subject for Hugo Strange, who seeks revenge against the detectives who had her mother falsely imprisoned.
----

* BadassBoast: Infinitely helped by the BadassBaritone his mask gives him:

* EvilSoundsDeep: The Bane mask, unsurprisingly, gives him quite the BadassBaritone.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: The army men are all too willing to follow him when he {{Neck Snap}}s an officer unwilling to follow his orders. Subverted when [[spoiler:his ordering them to fire on innocent civilians provokes them to turn on him]].

* AdaptationalWimp: Naturally. [[StoryBreakerPower Clayface]] at full power would make short work of anything else in this series, so his shapeshifting here is limited to sculpting his facial figures to impersonate other people.

* AdaptationalWimp: Naturally. [[StoryBreakerPower Clayface]] at full power would make short work of anything else in this series.

* ChainPain: His WeaponOfChoice.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/ClareFoley (Seasons 1-3), Creator/MaggieGeha (Seasons 3-4), Creator/PeytonList (Seasons 4-5)

* AdaptationDyeJob: Poison Ivy is typically a redhead. While Creator/ClareFoley's Ivy's hair is red, Creator/MaggieGeha has auburn hair and Creator/PeytonList is a brunette.

* PlotRelevantAgeUp: When Ivy encounters Fish's gang of super-powered freaks from Indian Hill, one of the goons, Marv (who harnesses the power to [[RapidAging rapidly age]] people just by touching them) grabs her in an attempt to age her to death, but she manages to escape his grasp just in time. However, he held onto her just long enough to age her from a young teenager to an older woman (played by Creator/MaggieGeha for the rest of Season 3). [[spoiler:In Season 4, Ivy goes through yet another transformation after drinking a cocktail of mystical potions and is now played by Creator/PeytonList]].[[note]]According to WordOfGod, the decision to age Ivy up was made in order to allow the character to use her seductive charms like in the comics. For obvious reasons, this could not be done with the young Clare Foley, so an older actress was introduced.[[/note]]

* NiceHat: Though not given much focus, he just wouldn't be ''the'' Mad Hatter without a snazzy topper. Even after he winds up in Arkham, he makes a cartoonish one out of newspaper.

* [[PsychopathicManChild Psychopathic Womanchild]]: "Ace Chemicals" has her attacking Gordon on a pair of roller skates.

* DarthVaderClone: After she becomes Firefly, she now has serious burns, metallic armor that keeps her alive, and speaks in a distorted voice.

* DarthVaderClone: [[spoiler:He's the hero's former friend who turned to the dark side, only to be grievously injured by said former friend and then revived by malevolent forces. He is then turned into a powerful {{cyborg}} with dark armor and a life-support mask that deepens his voice.]]

* SkunkStripe: His black hair and beard both have a brilliant pink streak.
