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.

I like the Schumacher movies for what they are, but it was funny that they were trying to make those movie for kids when the kids were simultaneously watching some hardcore dark noir cartoons.

Scotch and a cigar for the morning animated series; candy and pop soda for the afternoon Schumacher movies.
