Batman: The Animated Series
Episode 76
Baby-Doll
One of the worst episodes and most annoying recurring rogue in BtAS. Babydoll is just so annoying. Her gimmick is she’s a fully-grown adult that looks like an eternal child. She was a TV star that failed to achieve the same level of popularity after her show went off the air. So she flips out and kidnaps her former co-stars and tries to kill everyone.
Batman and Robin investigate the kidnappings and track her down. They defeat her goons. She is eventually captured by Batman after some dramatic crying scene. The gimmick is annoying, her motivation for being a criminal is lame, her character isn’t fun. It’s all creepy and the baby voice she puts on is nails on a chalkboard. How this got passed the inception stage is baffling. A rare miss in DCAU and rare miss in BtAS.
