Decided to sort the Batman villains into houses. Here’s an explanation for each.
In the Batman Adventures comics that went with TAS, Scarecrow was shown to have enjoyed teaching, and even attacked the city for refusing to spend more tax money on education. Likewise, Robin convinced him to provide the antidote for his technology making people unable to read by making him realize that he was spreading ignorance, and by appealing to Crane’s inner teacher.
He also once in the same series broke out for the sole purpose of becoming a teacher again…it didn’t last, though, since he ended up attacking a boy for harming his favorite student (it was implied the student was a victim of date rape, but because it was a kid friendly comic, they didn’t use those words)
In other media, he is often obsessed with his research, and many of his crimes are committed to fund his research.
He also values intelligence, and let’s face it, he’d love having to answer a question to get into the dorm every single time. It’s an obvious choice.
Now, this may seem like an odd choice, until you consider Slytherins use any means to achieve their ends, and compare it to how she met Joker in the first place. She had flirted her way through college to get her psychology degree, and planned to interview Joker to publish a book on him and jump-start her career.
A Hufflepuff would never have done that to avoid work for their degree, a Ravenclaw would shudder at the thought of such cheating methods (not counting Lockhart), and a Gryffindor would consider it dishonorable.
He’s a doctor, of course. I did consider Gryffindor, but I decided Ravenclaw fits him best.
Harvey Dent still often finds himself working for good, and still has a sense of honor. In some comics he even helped keep the streets crime free while Batman was gone.
I ran out of ideas, figured he was a scientist, and winged it. I don’t know this villain that well.
I always knew this. He’s manipulative, clever, and uses his mind to get others to do what he wants, always placing himself on top. He uses any means to achieve his ends. He also is very traditional, which is considered a Slytherin trait, as well.
Despite being a killer, he does so because he feels like it is for the greater good. Some could argue this would put him into Slytherin, but because of his personal sense of honor, I felt Gryffindor was more suitable.
She fits the “whatever means to achieve her ends” profile. She uses her charms and abilities to control those around her, and is not above seduction to get what she wants.
Shocking, I know. I figured he would either be a Slytherin or a Gryffindor, and ended up going with Gryffindor for the image.
Ventriloquist: Hufflepuff
Ventriloquist would be in Hufflepuff because of his loyalty towards Scarface. And no, I am not going to sort Scarface individually.
Well, this was a case of not fitting into the other houses. He’s not the brightest, so he can’t be in Ravenclaw, he generally doesn’t fit the profile for Slytherin, and he’s definitely not a Gryffindor. I like to think he would value work, so Hufflepuff it is.
I was carefully trying to decide, and ended up going with Ravenclaw due to his high intelligence. I considered Hufflepuff and Slytherin, but…..eh, he fit Ravenclaw best.
This is the point I ,started running out of ideas., I don’t know a ton about Clayface, but he uses his shapeshifting abilities to manipulate others, which could be considered a Slytherin trait.
In most of her incarnations, Catwoman has her own personal code of chivalry, refusing to kill, and often siding with Batman when lives are at stake (or when she feels like flirting. Meow.)
Dr. Hugo Strange: Ravenclaw
He’s highly analytical, and highly intelligent. He’s also one of the few characters to figure out who Batman really is IN EVERY INCARNATION OF THE CHARACTER.
