Mr. Freeze is a supporting antagonist in the cartoon series The Batman. In a departure from the character's usual depiction as a tragic villain, this version is depicted to be more relentless and vindictive.
Before becoming Mr. Freeze, Victor Freeze was an average human being with short black hair, blue eyes and a medium build. After his mutation, Freeze's skin was turned white and his eyes are completely red.
Freeze's suit is mostly black with tubes and see-through panels that show parts of both his arms. Freeze's suit gives him a more muscular appearance. The top of his suit also is exposed and covered with ice where his head can be seen.
Personality[]
Unlike other versions, who are widowed scientists trying to help their wives by any means necessary, this version of Mr. Freeze is an evil criminal. He is cold, aggressive, and calculating. He appears to have an affinity for diamonds and has a complete disregard for any life other than his own.
Biography[]
Origin[]
Before becoming Mr. Freeze, Victor Freeze was a common bank robber. After pulling off a diamond heist, he found himself pursued by the Batman and ended up being chased into a cryonics laboratory. While attempting to reclaim his diamonds, which he had dropped whilst fending off the Dark Knight, he fell in a cryogenic pod with had a live exposed wire. Freeze was electrocuted and his blood was frozen, which mutated him and left him unable to survive outside of a sub-zero environment, while giving him the ability to generate ice and frost.
Freeze was later put under observation by a scientist, but he soon escaped and forced the scientist to build him a suit that could contain and grant him better control over his new powers. Fries would then use his newfound abilities to become the supervillain Mr. Freeze.
Fighting Batman[]
Mr. Freeze later attacks a ship and other locations around Gotham City to steal the most rarest diamonds getting the attention of Ellin Yin and Ethan Bennit. He encounters Batman once again, but manages to escape and continue with his crime spree. Upon learning Mr. Freeze's identity, Batman questions if he should hang up his cape and cowl, wondering if he creates more criminals than he defeats. He ultimately realizes that Mr. Freeze's condition is his own fault, however, and foils the villain's plan to take over Gotham.
Mr. Freeze later works with Firefly in a plot to plunge Gotham into a never-ending winter. This soon fails when Batman defeats the two to save Gotham, during which the villains also end up turning on each other due to their different attributes; both are ultimately left for the police by Batman himself.
Mr. Freeze also came into conflict with The Penguin in racing against each other to find and rob valuable treasure hidden under the sea. Mr. Freeze uses Ewan Fripp, Alfred's old friend, to locate the treasure. Mr. Freeze in the end fights Penguin for the treasure, but Batman apprehends both of them.
Mr. Freeze is kidnapped by Rumor, alongside Gotham's other costumed criminals. When Freeze is released, he tries to freeze Batman but accidentally freezes most of the criminals and then Batman opens the cell he is standing on, causing him to fall down. Batman then throws the Kabuki Twins onto Freeze to then lock up the cell, leaving him and the others to get arrested alongside Rumor.
Freeze alongside Penguin, Bane, and Joker later fight The Joining, as well as assisting the police in their battle. He and Gordan later share a mutual respect for each other afterFfreeze saves Gordan from a robot.
Mr. Freeze is eventually hired by Lex Luthor alongside Bane, Black Mask, and Clayface to kill Superman. Mr. Freeze attempts to stop him from breathing by freezing Superman. However Batman and Robin arrive and defeat him alongside the three villains.
He also tried attacking Gotham after Batman is believed dead (hibernating for one thousand years), but was stopped with the help of holograms of Batman and his neutralizing formula. However, in this instance his appearance was changed into that of a man who had multiple mechanic "arms" from his lower half of his body and with no legs.
He later appears in Arkham Asylum as Batman, Robin, and Green Arrow search for Hugo Strange.
Powers and Abilities[]
Mr. Freeze, as a result of his accident, generates extreme cold around him. But with the special technology in his cryogenic suit he is able to shoot ice blasts from his hands at will, and project ice-waves around him. He often uses these abilities to create bridges at high areas and paths across the water. He also has created winter-wonderlands and several ice burgs with his powers alone. He also possesses a special heat rod that allows him to heat and shatter any ice he creates. Using this device, he can freeze enemies then shatter them to pieces.

Trivia[]
This is the only post–DC Animated Universe version of Mr Freeze who does not have a wife and a tragic backstory. This, along with other character changes, is one of the reasons The Batman is criticized by a decent number of Batman fans. However, this iteration's character design has drawn some praise from fans also.
Although this version of Freeze was never seen to have a wife or tragic backstory, he was briefly seen in his flashback with photos of himself happily together with an unknown woman.
His origin is somewhat similiar to Joker from the 1989 film.
