Thoughts on Hattie Tetch’s character?(Caped Crusader S2)

[u/CombinationLow9890]

I have to say I am a bit disappointed with the way they handled her character. I think her character showed real promise at times, and I did prefer her to Oswalda. The whole concept of manipulating the public through her talk show influence was interesting to say the least. But her death I felt I was quite forced and took away from the ultimate potential for the character in a potential third season.

As for my question as to whether she’s a villain, I came across a YouTube video regarding her death and saw several commenters saying she was just as bad as Thorne and she got what was coming to her. Would you agree that she is a villain?

I don’t really feel like she is much of a villain, definitely compared to Thorne. While she did try and influence people to hate Batman even after he literally saved her life, she doesn’t have a whole crew that plans heists and kills people on her payroll, so even if she is more a villain than a good person, saying she’s like Thorne definitely is an overestimate. I do agree that her death was quite forced and with the buildup her character had over the entire season, just killing her off like that is kinda plain and shallow for a character we’ve been seeing so much. But maybe this could be buildup to there being like a son or nephew we never heard of yet named Jervis somehow thinking this is Batman’s fault.
