Mad Hatter (Arkhamverse)

"Are you not going to drink you're tea? It's my special tea. My special tea. Specialty."

- Mad Hatter Mad Hatter is a minor antagonist in Batman: Arkham Origins and the primary antagonist of the side mission, Tea Party, in Batman: Arkham City.

Jervis Tetch aka Mad Hatter is a true product of insanity and schnizophrenia, becoming obsessed with the story "Alice in Wonderland" and the incredible ability of controlling a person's mind through hypnosis techniques. Jervis acts as the Mad Hatter, as well as uses his mind control abilities to recreate other characters as well as kidnapping girls to make them his "Alices".

Batman's second year
Shortly after putting the Lacey Towers case together, Batman encounters three henchmen in rabbit masks, singing they are invited to the Hatter's tea party. After they collapse, Batman recieves a message from the Mad Hatter, requesting for Batman to enter a buisness proposition with him. However, his attempt at recruting Batman by a kidnapped girl desperately calling for Batman's help. Jervis silenced her and told the Caped Crusader that the girl was "Alice" and that she's been through a lot recently and had promised to make her "right as rain" soon.

Batman heads to his lair in the Bowery to rescue her. Tetch, anticipating the hero's arrival, then made final tests on his mind control, and discovered with glee that the devices actually work, not addressing him as "sir" aside. Batman, after taking out the brainwashed criminals, proceeded to interrogated the Hatter about the girl's whereabouts. Hatter then traps him in "Wonderland" but the Dark Knight escapes it and yet again confronts Jervis with Alice as his hostage. Batman throws a reverse Batarang at him, and then knocks him out, thus saving Alice's life and capturing Jervis.

Arkham City
Mad Hatter was bribed by Hugo Strange, Warden of Arkham City , to use his mind controlling abilities in order to give him women to be his Alices. Strange used the mind control to keep control of his TYGER security guards.

Mad Hatter managed to lure Batman into a trap and put a mask on him. Batman then battled and took down his brainwashed henchmen, as well as eventually destroying his hat and knocking the Hatter out. Batman took off the mask and then saw many bodies of knocked out henchmen including Jervis himself. Batman then exited the building to continue with his mission.
