Talk:Mad Hatter (DC Comics)

message: Just curious if anyone could elaborate or explain the details of these "implications" in the article itself. --AWF
:Along the same line...I don't remember the exact dialogue, but the Hatter's conversation with Batman in Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth gives a pretty strong indication that he's a pedophile. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 12:42, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Can we see a quote or something that gives us some indication of this instead of relying on peoples' judgement? If it's an interpretation directly from the source, it may be WP:OR. It might be better to have another source than the material itself if anything at all is left to interpretation. --DanielCD (talk) 23:45, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Pedophilic overtones?

message: This article implies that the imposter was known to be one throughout the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s but I thought the whole thread was invented in the 1980s to allow the Hatter to be restored to his original form. Should the article really be implying that the TV series version is a hybrid when he was actually a fair portrayal of the comic character at the time? Timrollpickering 09:13, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: By the standards of Bat villains in the 1950s-1970s comics it does sound saner than some. The actual gimmicks and themes tended to be overlooked as a sign of insanity and I guess that his behaviour was not as outrageous as the likes of the Joker.

thread_title: Imposter

message: I've done some research on the supposed link between Mad Hatter and the Batman Beyond character Spellbinder that someone added to this entry. The only source I found that could seems to have influenced this addition was a blurb in Spellbinder's bio  at the World's Finest website, which stated "An interesting fact is that he's a descendant of the original Batman villain The Mad Hatter, Although they're not direct descendants. Spellbinder continues to oppose Batman."
I then started a topic on the Toonzone forums  asking about the official source of this information. One of the site's administrator's replied, "Either it came from the BB comic book which somehow snuck its way into a lot of the bios, or...I honestly can't tell you. That bios so old and was written probably over five years ago. 
It was never confirmed on the show, I can tell you that much though."
Therefore, until an official source can be provided for this alleged Batman Beyond connection that was merely copied and pasted in the first place, I am removing it from the entry. --GORE-ILLA 06:55, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

message: In his defense, the Oz-Wonderland Wars series had Captain Carrott and the Inferior Five travelling to Wonderland, which does exist diagetically as another universe.

thread_title: Not only is he often known to quote and associate with Carroll's Wonderland novels, but he often fails to discern between these stories and reality.

message: The character has a six paragraph entry in Fleischer's Encyclopedia of Comic Book Heroes, Volume 1:Batman. Would it be reasonable to say that might be sufficient to verify notability? John Carter (talk) 14:38, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd say it's a start. But to be honest, I'd like to see more real world context and citing. - J Greb (talk) 22:12, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notability question 

message: I was wondering what people thought of the inclusion of the fictional pedophiles link that keeps cropping up here.  It seems as though it was hinted at once in an elsewheres book, but that it is not a major part of the mainstream aspect of the character.  In addition, it seems a bit too much of a stretch to inlclude this link.  It doesn't really seem to benifit the article, and from a moral perspective I mean...come on, kids read wikipedia, do we really need a link to pedophile stuff on a page that kids read?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rocdahut (talk • contribs) 06:01, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: First off, the kids aspect doesn't actually -matter-, Wikipedia is not for kids. Never has been. Having said that, I've never seen anything to indicate that Mad Hatter is a pedophile. A crazy amoral murderer (which we note, see bit about Wikipedia not being for kids) but not a pedo. Lots42 (talk) 07:24, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I like to think that Wikipedia is for every one, and yes, the Pedophile part isn't a major part of the character, but it is part of the character nevertheless, so I think it should stay. Siamesehare (talk) 04:08, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

message: The name of the Arkham Asylum doctor is spelled three different ways in a single section (Fictional Character History / Mental Illness):  Blaylock, Blacklock, Blackloch.  I have no idea which is correct.  Anybody?

replies: text: Although I missed this talk page comment initially, an edit today made clear there was a problem. can anyone find the source material and correct? it looks like that edit was made in the end of September, and if no one can clean it up and review the edits in detail, I'll revert to that earlier version of the character history in a few days.

message: It says "The Mad Hatter is a boss in the video game The Adventures of Batman & Robin for the Sega Genesis. In the game, he is the master of a virtual reality world filled with mechanical rabbit and psychedelic imagery. His appearance, while based on that of the character from Batman: The Animated Series, also sports elongated eyelashes on his left eye, a direct reference to Alex DeLarge from the film version of A Clockwork Orange". Can anybody reference this? Siamesehare (talk) 03:11, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Being a big Batman fan, I did some research on a canceled Batman film called Batman: Victorious (or something like that), and it said that the Mad Hatter was going to be the supporting villain. I would add this, but I'm not quite sure if this information is correct or not. Siamesehare (talk) 07:41, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

message: on Google, ""The mind is the weakest part of a person" -"believing that""  (the second quote to remove references to this article) reveals no sources other than fanfiction.  If the article is going to put something in quotes, it should be cited.  It is entirely possible that the quote did come from an issue of the comic, but we should find and mention which one it was. For now, I'm adding a Citation-needed tag.-Verdatum (talk) 07:48, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
