Batman: Caped Crusader Wastes Dark Knight's Oldest Villain

Warner Bros. Animation's Batman: Caped Crusader apparently squanders one of Batman's most classic villains—and it's not the Joker. Adaptations hold serious power in shaping how iconic characters become in the cultural consciousness, and Batman's rogues gallery has historically benefited from strong animated and live-action treatments. The show seems to have dropped the ball on a character that could have been legendary in this continuity. When properties underutilize their deep bench of legacy villains, it feels like a missed creative opportunity.
