She is known for playing Winifred Freddie Brooks on the NBC. Wayne Enterprises, which leads to Batman catching the trail again and finding Hagens hideout, just as Hagen is undergoing the final process to save his life. Youd Expect Batman to just let this crime go. Hagen was an unwilling villain, blackmailed into crime by a corrupt businessman and unwittingly turned into a monster by the minions of the same businessman. Batman knows of Hagens past and offered to help Hagen earlier in the same episode. Even if he couldnt justify letting the crime go, nothing stops him from letting him get cured then throw a non superpowered Hagen in jail. Besides, it wouldnt be the first time Bruce Wayne made a public show of supporting the rehabilitation of a criminal, having paid for the experimental surgery and therapies that would restore Harvey Dent to a normal life in Second Chance. Instead Batman blows up the machine that is injecting Hagen with the chemicals and says Its all over, Hagen. The lab boys can take it from here. This leads to an all out battle which Batman only wins after taking the fight outside where the rain further weakens Hagen.

Batman has been shown to not only offer Hagen his help with this, but has attempted it with other villains before, and isnt known for lying about something as serious as this. Youd Expect Mr. I Just Want to Be Normal would consider, even the slightest, to turn himself in. He could get actual, legal help for his condition, and he wont have to worry about Batman tearing him a new one every time they cross. Instead He stays a criminal, often going out of his way to use someone either under duress or just as crooked as he is, if not worse. He eventually stopped whining about being normal and just turned bad. Even Worse This could be said for just about any villain really, not just on the show, including some of the ones listed here, like Mr. Freeze. In Cat Scratch Fever, Batman is being chased by a rabid, infected dog through the snowy wilderness with several crooks he was trying to foil also following him. He slides out onto a frozen over lake and manages to administer a cure to the dog. The villains arrive on the scene, armed and ready against a potentially tired and weakened Batman. Youd Expect The villains to keep their distance and shoot Batman with their weaponry from afar, perhaps breaking the ice so that he falls in and guard the immediate area so that he cant get back out.

Instead He goes ahead with his plan. Later Despite all, his plan works. And would have succeeded, if not for a major screw up on Kaisers part Thanks to security cameras, he catches the Joker laying explosives in the places basement. Just as Kaiser is about to leave the place, Batman breaks in and reveals to him that he of knows his plan. Following this, Kaiser pushes a button that sends an electric shock to Batman and knocks him out. Youd Expect Him to leave Batman there chained up or something to get killed when the place blows up. Instead He has Batman sent to the Joker, hoping that he would take care of him. Predictably, Batman reveals Kaisers plan to the Joker, who, not happy with having been manipulated and played for a fool, cancels his plans to blow up the place and goes after Kaiser instead. In the end, Kaiser gets lucky that Batman barely manages to stop the Joker and save his life.

Horrified, Koonak rushes to stop them, and in the ensuing chaos, Barbara escapes and runs to the outside of the hideout an abandoned oil refining station. Youd Expect Mr. Freeze wielding a cryogenic energy gun to have Gregory watch over Nora and go after Barbara himself. This would be a safe way to retrieve her without causing much damage. Instead Freeze sends Belson wielding a revolver to do it for him.
