History
Edit
In the first episode, Rupert Thorne's criminal empire falls apart before supervillains like the Joker appear in Gotham. He also makes a cameo in the episode "A Matter of Family." In "Rumors," he was shown to be one of the captive victims of Rumor.
Thorne plays a larger role in The Batman Strikes!, a comic based in the continuity of the show. In one issue, he works with Bruno "Ugly" Mannheim to create a army of super-villains based on Bane, Man-Bat, and Firefly.
