Roddy McDowall's vocal performance created the perfect balance between Tetch's shyness and the Hatter's dementia. No longer a comical baddie obsessed with swiping hats, the Mad Hatter had become a real threat, fixated on ruining Batman's life the way he believed Batman had ruined his. In "Perchance to Dream", the Hatter went so far as to mentally imprison the unconscious crime fighter in his own private dream world. Here Bruce Wayne's parents were still alive, he was engaged to Selina Kyle, and someone else was Batman. When Bruce finally discovered it was all a dream, he had to confront his Batman doppelgänger and literally fight his way back to consciousness. This traditionally has been one of producer Alan Burnett's favorite themes the hero in conflict with his inner self. It was also Kevin Conroy's favorite script. As an actor, it gave him a chance to perform four variations of the same character: Batman, Bruce Wayne, Bruce's father, and the alternate Batman.

And a torture crumpling.
