History NightmareFuel / TheBatman

* In “A Matter of Family”, where Tony Zucco has Batman tied up on a giant dart board, while explaining and demonstrating the circus act he used to be a part of with his father; knife-throwing. He’d throw the knives, and his dad would “pray he wouldn’t hit him”.
-->'''Batman:''' [[SarcasmMode What made you give up such a promising career?]]

* Seeing Batman under the effects of Joker toxin in "The Laughing Bat" is just... wrong. ''Oh so very wrong''. And this isn't the first time we see [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker Batman infected by the toxin]]. Joker himself is displayed in the page image as even worse and even more deranged than usual, killing people with a new strain of Joker Gas and [[AllCrimesAreEqual targeting everyone who breaks any minor rules as a twisted mockery of Batman's Code.]] He gassed people for relatively minor offenses, such as leaving the turn signal on. It gets worse when he gasses the mayor’s wife and then later goes after two girls who were innocently making chalk drawings. Him later actively trying to make his own "Joker" by poisoning Batman and Batman slowly undergoing SanitySlippage only adds to the horror pile.

* Black Mask. Particularly his mask. Not only does it look creepy, it's apparently unable to be removed. Is he even ''human'' underneath? The same question can be asked about the [[CreepyTwins Kabuki Twins]].

* Penguin in this incarnation is completely deranged, unlike his more saner crime boss incarnations and has the added bonus of being a dangerous martial artist willing to kill with his own hands and having a vast assortment of dangerous weapons in his umbrella to boot. Many creepy moments from him are as followed:

* The Riddler, especially with his eerily calm voice. Being voiced by [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]] himself can do that...
* Penguin pulling a NightmareFace right after breaking down in tears.
* Penguin’s face when he tries to ground Batman into “fertilizer”.
* The Joker. From his inhuman red eyes to his disgusting mouth, everything seems off about him. The fact that his original outfit was modeled after a straightjacket doesn’t help.
* Victims of Joker's laughing gas, especially with their wide eyes and demented grin with yellow teeth!

* Penguin getting the powers of Ra and then attempting to blow up a hospital. Full of CHILDREN.

* Joker’s nanobot clone. Especially the part where he removes his eyes and makes the Joker understandably grossed out. He then tries to KILL Joker and the others.

* Ethan Bennett's treatment by the Joker near the end of the first season is just terrifying, especially near the end of the episode [[spoiler: when [[BodyHorror Ethan's face]] ''[[BodyHorror melts]]'' as he turns into Clayface]].

** Speaking of which, [[spoiler: Ethan's shifting ability as Clayface is pretty creepy all its own... especially when you look at it '''''[[http://goodbyenorthernlights.tumblr.com/post/144291117281/so-hey-did-you-know-that-the-bit-where-ethan frame by frame]]'''''.]] ''*shudders*''

* Maybe it's just me, but [[AIIsACrapshoot D.A.V.E.]] is scary in just how effective it is. Not only is D.A.V.E. able to beat the Batman in a fight ''multiple times'', but the flawless tech robbery, committing the perfect crime that includes the elements of all of Batman's villains (just like D.A.V.E. itself), even deducing Batman's identity in a frighteningly believable and easy way, infiltrating the Batcave, and setting up a SadisticChoice (either Alfred dies, or Batman's identity is revealed to the world) really do earn D.A.V.E. the title of [[TitleDrop Gotham's Ultimate Criminal Mastermind]].
* Phosphorus. Just...[[ILoveNuclearPower just Phosphorus]]. Up until this episode, Firefly is just a snarky thug for hire with a jetpack and lasers. One mishap with a radioactive isotope and he's this show's equivalent of [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond Blight]]. Everything he touches incinerates, to the point where even the floor under his feet starts melting, he's able to project massive amounts of weaponized heat, and he's DrunkWithPower and developing a serious HairTriggerTemper, to the point where even his girlfriend, who likes him ''because'' of his bad-boy nature, is terrified of what he's becoming. And what's worse, according to Batman, he's in danger of a meltdown, taking most of Gotham with him, unless he absorbs more radiation, which would make him even '''more''' dangerous.

* [[AdaptationalVillainy Harley Quinn.]] No, really. The Adorkable version audiences know and love is pretty much gone. She starts as a [[PsychopathicManchild psychopathic womanchild]] and doesn't get any better. She's willing to murder innocent civilians. She, among other things, gives a bigger SlasherSmile than Joker, and tries to kill several people because they [[DisproportionateRetribution didn't like her show.]] Her actually having a decent relationship with Joker does ''not'' help.
