Hate Sink Wiki
Advertisement


Six months ago Gotham had the lowest crime rate in the nation. Yesterday, we were declared "The World's Scariest City"!

Angel Rojas or better known as Chief Rojas, is a major character of the animated show The Batman.

He was the chief of police in Gotham City. He viewed Batman as a threat, to the point that he wanted to arrest him.

He was voiced by Edward James Olmos in "The Bat in the Belfry", and by Jesse Corti in his later appearances.

What Makes Him Hate Sink?[]

  • Rojas viewed Batman as a criminal, despite the fact that Batman brought down the crime boss Rupert Thorne and media stating that with Batman's help, crime rating have significantly reduced, showing his ungrateful attitude. Also this brought into conflict with Detective Ethan Bennett, who's a supporter of Batman.
  • After Ethan Bennett was rescued by Batman from the Joker, Rojas still viewed Batman as a criminal to the media and taking the Batman's credit of capturing the Joker and that made Ethan wanting to argue because of the ordeal he was put through.
    • He also discharged Ethan Bennett from police force and that put Detective Yin, who was grateful of Batman for rescuing her partner despite her initial distrust of Batman, her odds at Rojas.
    • He was also indirectly responsible for Ethan Bennett descent into villainy by becoming Clayface, which made him lose everything: his friendship with Bruce Wayne, his reputation as a detective, and his normal life though he would eventually be cured, redeemed and regained Bruce's trust.
    • Rojas on the news told them that his police force get the credit for capturing the Joker except for Ethan, who overheard it as Clayface, and this made Clayface wanting to target him for being referred as a freak and wanting him dead.
    • Despite Batman and Yin saved Rojas from Clayface, he still viewed Batman as a threat.
  • During the hunt for the Riddler, Rojas proved to be incompetent in solving puzzles or clues in contrast to Batman’s and Yin’s skills and teamwork that they managed to capture the Riddler.
  • After Batman stopped Mr. Freeze’s and Firefly’s plan to turn Gotham city into a permanent winter and captured them for the Gotham police, Roja ordered his forces to arrest Batman, but the police force choose to applaud for Batman instead, making Rojas the only one ungrateful of Batman’s heroism.
  • During Clayface’s trial, Rojas deemed him a criminal that he wanted him declared guilty, but the judge stated he was declared innocent after many witnesses defended Ethan for being a victim of Joker, much to his dismay.
  • When Joker, Penguin and Riddler caused havoc around the city and declared war to each other by defeating Batman should the winner gets to rule Gotham should they see fit, Rojas saw that those three and Batman need to be captured, proving how shortsighted he is.
    • When Rojas discovered that Detective Yin is working alongside with Batman, he revoked her status as a police member and having her arrested, not before he used her as a trap to lure Batman. However, Batman managed to evade Gotham police along with Yin.
    • After Batman and Yin managed to defeat and capture Joker, Penguin, and Riddler, Rojas planned to arrest her and then Batman. Commissioner Gordon, who is a strong supporter of Batman and see that Batman's work does good to Gotham City, manages to pull his rank and makes some serious points toward Rojas forcing the latter to begrudging accept Yin back in the police force and to his dismay forbid from arresting Batman.
    • Even though he was never seen again after the incident, it is likely he is fired or transferred for his incompetence.
