He has a conflicted relationship with Barbara thanks to him recently learning that she is the Oracle.

Antagonists

  • Rosalie Riddick/Queen-O-Hearts - an irritable and short-tempered young woman who was recruited by Mad Hatter to join his new Wonderland Gang as she wields a high-tech staff that allows her to generate electricity, being madly loyal to the Mad Hatter and is willing to do anything to make sure that his plans succeed.
• Aaron Helzinger/Amygdala - an insane and muscular inmate at Arkham Asylum who thanks to the removal of his amygdala, was rendered violent and incapable of controlling his emotions, usually being manipulated by other villains and mob bosses into working for them, with his strength making him a dangerous threat.
• The Rainbow Creature - a giant and rampaging monster made out a strange energy as it can either create fires, create freezing cold blizzards, trap people in a strange 2D paper-like state or turn people or anything into mist as it is a mindless and dangerous monster out for chaos and destruction, being a bizarre threat to the Batman.
