Many fans where not pleased by the change. This change was made in effort to make the character more like the original Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. Looking shorter and rat like, the Hatter was an albino, white haired man in green clothes.

When the series was later redesigned, the Mad Hatter character design was radically changed. He also appeared telling the Joker to turn back to the previous T.V channel or in this case "Hey! I was watching that!" in Jokers Wild. He is also shown in Arkham playing chess with the Scarecrow. He brainwashed famous people to become villains and also brainwashed Tetch himself to fall into a sort of deep open-eyed sleep. In Make 'Em laugh, The Joker stole his mind control devices for his own use. He was also called to the stand and asked did he really need to stalk Alice? His reply shocked the jury as he said he would rather of let her die! In the episode The Worry Men, Jervis used his mind control equipment to his advantage and brainwashed many people to do his bidding. He was the main member of the jury and was the one who announced the verdict.
#Mad hatter batman trial#
In Trial, The Mad Hatter was one of the many Arkham Villains who escaped and put Batman on trial under the claims that "He created them". Jervis was arrested and returned to Arkham Asylum where he probably escaped from. Sobbing, Tetch replies, "You ruined my life! I was willing to give you any life you wanted, just to keep you out of mine!". When Batman finally freed himself from the equipment the Hatter was using, he demanded to know why Tetch had used the machine rather than simply kill him. The Mad Hatter captured him and projected these images into his head so that he could have his very own "Wonderland". And he needs to wake up so he throws himself off a building. He talks to the Hatter and comes to the conclusion that all this happiness is a dream. He confronts this otherworld Batman and pulls off his cowl to reveal Jervis Tetch. Bruce finds that this world does have a Batman, who seems more brilliant than he ever was. He is maddened to find that all the words in every book and newspaper are backwards. In Perchance To Dream, Bruce Wayne finds himself trapped in a dreamworld where his parents are alive, he's engaged to Selina Kyle and isn't Batman. The Hatter, trapped under the Jabberwock model, quotes Alice in Wonderland with all the sadness of the Mock Turtle. Alice is freed from the Hatter's spell and rejoins her sweetheart. The Hatter armed with an axe fights him but a huge ornament of the Jabberwock falls down upon him (when Batman throws a batarang at the string of the model). Batman releases them from the maniac's spell and confronts the Mad Hatter.
He'll have her, mind or no mind! Batman is soon on his trail where he encounters the Mad Hatter at an amusement park with an Alice in Wonderland section, he has brainwashed people to dress up as Wonderland characters and kill Batman. Jervis, now calling himself the Mad Hatter, has brainwashed Alice and kidnapped her. These "labels" were mind control chips and the Dark Knight suddenly remembered seeing a picture of the Mad Hatter in which his hat label was like this.
Batman stopped the two from committing suicide and noticed that in their hats were 10/6 labels. When Batman confronted two hooligans that Jervis had mind controlled and told to "go jump in the river!". This brought him to the attention of Batman.
His attempts at impressing Alice involved him brainwashing people to pretend that his was a "man about town" or "a celebrity". Alice mended her relationship and got back together with her boyfriend (much to Tetch's disapproval). Alice was charmed by Jervis but misinterpreted his gesture as one to cheer her up. He dressed up as the Mad Hatter character from his favorite book and set off with a bunch of flowers ready to make his move. But when news reached him that their relationship had sunk he made it his top priority to impress her (With a little help from his mind control chips). He was frustrated upon hearing that she had a boyfriend. First seen in the episode Mad as a Hatter, Jervis Tetch, a meek scientist experimenting with mind control equipment, has a romantic interest in his co-worker Alice.
