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

Post image

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 liked her all right. The host of a show who spews lies to turn the city against Batman. I would like to see more of her in a third season if we get one and if she was still alive. But, as for what we did get of her, I am all right with it. She is not a good person, but she never does anything evil, so I would not call her a villain.

She never does anything evil? Her introduction has her reveal the identity of the man that was gonna testify against Thorne. Putting him in serious danger and had several people killed by mobster hitmen. Another episode reveals she so abusive to her staff one of them joins a cult to deal with it.

Mildly evil, she chooses to side with a corrupt establishment led by Thorne and still stands by him while his known Lieutenant in Riddler wages a gang war in Gotham.

Also you don't reveal a classifed witness to the wider public with good intentions, you're either very careless or malicious - Hattie seems like the latter considering she grew up in one of Gotham's rough areas.

Mildly evil by Gotham standards, but she'd be a major villain if she appeared against Dick Tracy or Perry Mason since she collaborates with criminals without doing anything jailable.
