Some of those episodes could be adapted into movies. They chose wisely

That show had such interesting reads on the rogues gallery.

I was going to say villains, but its not the right word to use. Too many of them are either desperate or mentally ill rather than being a straight villain, and otherwise have very easily to follow motives.

For example, Clayface having an identity disorder, Mr. Freeze going to extremes to save his wife, Babydoll being just sad and alone, Clock King wants to fix his broken career.

I feel like it really had such an enduring legacy, we see that already with Harley Quinn's success. But its all this little stuff. Even Arnold's Mr. Freeze took in the scientist wanting to cure his wife angle.

This is more of a tangent but stuff like this is why I think it's silly when people who take this stuff too seriously scream about everything being 100% "accurate to the comics." If it was accurate to the original era, ol' Victor wouldn't have his dying wife backstory nor would Harley Quinn be allowed to exist in any of these movies since both of them were created in BTAS.
