Pinned Post + Basic Criteria

Hi, welcome to the Hatterist Society! A place made by fans for fans where I will upload, repost and distribute any kind of media related to Jervis Tetch! My goal is to provide other Jervis-Tetch-lovers a place where they can find posts and comic information about The Mad Hatter without risking their devices to malwares caused by browsing in sketchy sites!

This is a side blog focused only in Jervis with some minor cameos of DC characters who may support his different plot-lines. I will not interact with NSFW, yet I do advise to be careful towards potential sensitive stuff (Some Hatter-related comics may not be for everybody, if you know which comics I am talking about!)

Batman: The Animated Series (1992) Mad Hatter concept art designs + information. Transcription right below.

A weird-looking guy with a hat fetish. Hmm. Not the most imposing of adversaries. Yet Jervis Tetch, the Mad Hatter, has been a major player in Batman's Rogues Gallery since his first appearance in Detective Comics #230 (1956). As with a number of other villains, we rethought the Hatter to bring him more in line with our series. In the script for "Mad as a Hatter", I made him a brilliant but lonely scientist working for Wayne Industries. When Tetch stumbled onto the secret of mind control, he used it to make people respect and obey him in the hopes it would impress Alice, a pretty co-worker with whom he was smitten. When she rejected him, Tetch went off the deep end and used his mind device to turn Alice into a catatonic puppet. Batman came to Alice's rescue, freeing her from the Hatter's spell, while becoming the new target of the madman's hatred.

Roddy McDowall's vocal performance created the perfect balance between Tetch's shyness and the Hatter's dementia. No longer a comical baddie obsessed with swiping hats, the Mad Hatter had become a real threat, fixated on ruining Batman's life the way he believed Batman had ruined his. In "Perchance to Dream", the Hatter went so far as to mentally imprison the unconscious crime fighter in his own private dream world. Here Bruce Wayne's parents were still alive, he was engaged to Selina Kyle, and someone else was Batman. When Bruce finally discovered it was all a dream, he had to confront his Batman doppelgänger and literally fight his way back to consciousness. This traditionally has been one of producer Alan Burnett's favorite themes the hero in conflict with his inner self. It was also Kevin Conroy's favorite script. As an actor, it gave him a chance to perform four variations of the same character: Batman, Bruce Wayne, Bruce's father, and the alternate Batman.
