Madhatter

[Nathaniel Essex]

Are there any Madhatter based graphic novels? Thank you

 

[Venom 1988]

Batman: Haunted Knight has 3 stories, one focusing on The Mad Hatter. Its pretty good, but other than that I cant think of anything else.

 

[BubbaGump]

Not really a pure Mad Hatter story, but Robin Year One had a..."suggestive" Mad Hatter scheme. For you pervs.

 

[Nathaniel Essex]

Just looking for a story based on Mad Hatter, poor guy. Could have a great story and everyone ignores him

 

[ronny]

I've actually came up with a good story idea for him, at least I'm quite proud of it.
In any case, there don't seem to be many good Hatter stories and I hope that this is soon remedied.
Oh, try Gotham Central: Unresolved Targets.
It's got one of the best Joker stories in it and the single best Hatter story I've ever read. But what is his grand scheme in Haunted Knight? Anyone got any scans or care to tell me the gist of it?

 

[union_jak]

He's an important character in the Secret Six: Six Degrees of Devestation.

Unresolved Targets is an incredibly sick TPB!

The Wonderland Gang issue was Detective 841. A great one-shot by Dini and Nguyen.

There are actually two Mad Hatter.

There are actually two Mad Hatter.

Ah yes, Jervis Tetch and the "Evil" Mad Hatter who was a parody of Ted Turner and his problems with kleptomania.

 

[TruerToTheCore]

Actually, the Mad Hatter, the hat collector was Jervis Tetch, they just retconned the original Mad Hatter to be named "Jerivs Tetch" and that the Mad Hatter II was an imposter who took his name.

Question: Does The Mad Hatter have an origin story? The only one I've heard was in TAS.

The earliest 'in continuity' story I've seen of him is in The Long Halloween, but I've yet to see an origin story for him. I reckon if you've seen his TAS one, then thats as good as we can get for now.

I believe that the Haunted Knight story is the 1994 LODK Halloween special "Madness", with Jeph Loeb as writer and Tim Sale as artist: in this story I wouldn't really say that he has a "grand" scheme: he's portrayed in the same sort or irrational manner as in The Long Halloween/Dark Victory. What he is doing is abducting children that are out on the streets for Halloween and dressing them up as characters from Alice in Wonderland for a tea party.

 

[TruerToTheCore]

The Mad Hatter's first appearance was in the same story as Vicki Vale's debut, I believe.

 

[Quinzel]

Madhatters first appearance.

Batman #49 (October-November 1948)

He tried to steal a trophy

 

[The Denialist]

Madhatters first appearance.

Batman #49 (October-November 1948)

He tried to steal a trophy

Ah, he's come a long way since then.

 

[Johann Krauss]

wasn't he recently in a dustin Nguyen story?

Wiki it.

Though i'm pretty sure he's just some guy who reads alice in wonderland and goes nuts. lol.

There are better villains in Batmans rougues gallery you know?

So? Mad Hatter is a very interesting character and when you start running out of stories for your other favorites, you've got to turn somewhere.

 

[MysterioMenace]

That’s a matter of opinion. I think he’s far superior to many more popular characters. Mad Hatter has never reached his full potential. He can be written intelligently and remarkable psychological. I’ll always take that over glorifying violence or dense concepts like the relatively worthless gimmick that was Bane.

That was the one Dini story I didn't like so far (well apart from the Harley/Riddler Countdown tie-in) it seemed too much like filler.

 

[Quinzel]

Oh I love Dini's story.

Then again, i love Dini's work.lol.

 

[CaptainClown]

Gotham Central. He wasn't really the star villain though.
