| ~ Sewer King to the children. |
The Sewer King is the main antagonist of Batman: The Animated Series episode "The Underwellers". He is a child slaver who forces them to steal and forces them to be silent and tortures them by blinding them in the Light Room.
He is voiced by the late Michael Pataki.
What Makes Him a Hate Sink?[]
- He would torture his kids for extremely minor reasons, even just for speaking.
- When he tells his "lessons" to the children, he's constantly yelling at them.
- He punishes a kid named Jack for accidentally yelling after hurting himself by putting him in the light room to be tortured while mockingly calling him a "bright boy".
- After he forces the kids to steal more things from the surface, he laughs crazy at them, which shows how maniacal and narcissistic he is.
- When he finds out that the kid named Frog is missing, he violently grabs Jack by the hand, throws some stuff away from the table, and coldly calls the kids "monsters".
- He claims that he cares for the children, but he doesn’t in reality. Instead, he made their lives miserable by encouraging them to not speak, live in darkness, and wear shabby clothes.
- He threw the table in a fit of anger, almost hurting the children. He even said that nobody should be able to eat until Frog is found.
- He yells at the children to leave.
- He tries to kill Jack by feeding him to his pet crocodiles.
- He accuses Batman of frightening his “beloved children”, but he treats them horribly.
- When Batman saves him from getting run over by the train, he asks him why he saved meaning he would rather let himself get killed than be saved by him and it shows that he doesn’t understand virtue and altruism.
- His treatment of the children almost made Batman break his no-kill rule.
- His actions are so gross and repulsive, that even Batman genuinely considered using lethal force on him for what he did to the children.
