Black Mask was a recurring villain in the show The Batman and the head of a powerful organization.
History[]
Black Mask first appeared in the show as a powerful and mysterious crime boss. He controlled a gang, which would capture Batman after he sent their boss to jail. While Batgirl and Robin wondered where Bruce was, Black Mask's gang assaulted the police station in order to free their boss. It's up to the duo to stop them, which they eventually did.
Black Mask was later another criminal who was captured by Rumor along with other Gotham's criminals. Once free, he tried to kill Batman but got frozen by Mr. Freeze by mistake.
In season 5, he was hired to capture Lois Lane in order to attract Superman by Lex Luthor, along with Bane, Mr Freeze and Clayface II. In another episode, he made an alliance with a criminal called Shadow Thief in order to steal an entire building. Batman, Robin, and Hawkman eventually stopped them and put them in Arkham once and for all.
Black Mask had some differences from the comics and other TV series: While his origins remained unrevealed, Black Mask's mask could not be removed, so it was impossible to know if Roman Sionis was Black Mask's real identity. Black Mask always had an important member of his gang, called Number One. Two of them were killed. He also appeared in The Batman Strikes!, in 2 issues.
