Adaptational Dumbass: This version never actually shows off his trademark Clock King precision planning. The first villain to appear in The Brave and the Bold, Clock King has simple goals in life: assemble a clock-themed group of henchmen in a clock-themed secret lair, construct elaborate clock-themed traps and/or weapons, and use them to rob banks and/or kill Batman. Single-Target Sexuality: "My real prey is, and shall always be, Batman.". Purple Is Powerful: She wears the same costume that her comic book counterpart wore in the Golden and Silver Age. She's a woman who goes around in a purple dress that shows off her legs and tends to friendly flirt with Batman. Fanservice: As per usual for the character. After failing, she sadly laments the most dangerous game is in fact love. She engages in this with Batman during a cold opening, though with the intent of capturing and seducing him as a opposed to killing. Hunting the Most Dangerous Game: Played With. Every altercation between Batman and herself displays heavy amounts of mutual attraction and Unresolved Sexual Tension. Both of which are lower on the Batman's list of priorities. Her targets are also the rich and museums for the most part.
Anti-Villain: Seen as such by Batman, who points out to Green Arrow she's a thief rather than the usual deranged killers and criminal masterminds he faces.She's based on them, likes using them, likes stealing cat-based objects in her crimes. Abhorrent Admirer: During "Death Race to Oblivion!", she gains the attention of Woozy Winks.Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Unsurprisingly, his role in AQUAMAN's sitcom.īatman has never met another villain quite like the elusive and illustrious Catwoman, and not even a complex death trap can keep the two from friendly flirting.Eye Beams: A major upgrade in powers from one of his earliest animated incarnations.Except when he sings, where he's surprisingly shrill. Evil Sounds Deep: Amplified by his helmet to sound deeper.Later played straight though, since he works with the notoriously humanist Gorilla Grodd with no quarrel.
Black Manta betrays Orm the first chance he gets, mentioning he'd been waiting to do that "within five minutes" of meeting him.
Evil Is One Big, Happy Family: Subverted.
Even Evil Has Standards: Despite enjoying creating world-wide chaos, Black Manta finds being made to sing against his will despicable. Disproportionate Retribution: In AQUAMAN's sitcom, he tries to blow up the hero's house because Fluke keeps destroying his garden. Color Character: He wears black and it's in his name. Badass Baritone: When he suddenly starts singing in "Mayhem of the Music Meister!". Black Manta is a criminal from the surface world who frequently clashes with AQUAMAN.
