Roland Daggett was a corrupt business man who was an enemy of Batman in Batman the Animated Series.

History&nbsp
Roland Daggett runs Daggett Industries, which is a rival of Bruce Wayne's Wayne Enterprises. Bitter that Bruce has had more success then himself, Roland engages in frequent unethical business practices to get ahead. His first notable attempt was when his company developed "Renuyu cream", which allows a person to shape shift their face in anyway. Since stores would not sell it do to it's addictive qualities, he decided to sell it through direct marketing. He gave a steady supply to Matt Hagen, a former actor whose face was disfigured because of a car accident. Hagen becomes addicted to Renuyu cream and Daggett would continue to supply Hagen if he killed Lucius Fox, who is Wayne Enterprises business manager. After Hagen fails to kill Lucius Fox, Daggett has his henchmen kill Hagen with an overdose of unstable chemicals. Hagen didn't die however, and instead became the villain Clayface. Clayface attempts to get revenge on Daggett, but is defeated by Batman. After this incident Daggett wanted to renovate Gotham City's Crime Alley, but the city council reject his plan. Daggett then secretly hires explosive experts to destroy Crime Alley. When his henchmen are discovered by Dr. Leslie Thompkins, they tie her up in a building set to detonate. Batman manages to save her and deactivate only some of the bombs, but much of Crime Alley is still destroyed. Batman is angry Roland got away with his crimes, but Leslie assures him Daggett can't hide from the law for long. Daggett then hires a scientist Dr. Achiles Milo to construct a disease that infects cats and later people. That way when Daggett Industries has the only cure, Roland will become wealthy and a public hero. One of the cat's infected however was Catwoman's pet Isis, and she works with Batman to expose Daggett. Roland goes bankrupt and has his public image tarnished. In a desperate move Roland Daggett steals a jade cat. His plan was to sell it to get the money necessary to restart his company, and simultaneously frame Catwoman. Catwoman, Batgirl, Batman, and Robin all work together to capture him. This time Daggett is sent to jail and never heard from again.
