10 Unused Villains Who Should Be In The Next Batman Video Game

In the most underrated Batman: The Animated Series episode written by Paul Dini, the Dark Knight is tasked with protecting the citizens of Gotham from a forty-year-old woman forever trapped in the body of a rugrat.

While this sounds silly and a bad joke, Baby Doll is surprisingly one of Batman’s most tragic antagonists. Cursed with systemic hypoplasia, she is an adult infant who was the star of an American sitcom until ratings dropped and she was replaced by her nasty on-screen cousin, Spunky.

Forgotten by the public after failing to become a ‘serious’ actress, Mary Louise Dahl kidnaps her former co-stars and forces them to live as a family on a replica set of Love That Baby. Not only does this scenario provide the perfect opportunity for overtly absurd celebrity cameos, but it would also be an unusual and hysterical side-mission that could – for once – culminate with Batman not using his fists to defeat an enemy.

The way she defines how misunderstood and tragic Gotham’s freaks are, along with how Batman relates to their pain and desperation to escape from reality, makes her worthy of being a side-quest. Or, if Killer Croc just had to return, then capturing his bizarre affiliation with her would surely spare him from again being a stale and one-dimensional brute whose only quality is he happens to be a human-reptile.
