B:TAS: Why does everyone hate the Boss?

[theDarkJAww13]

As anyone following the B:TAS Survivor thread knows - apparently The Boss is the least favorite villain from the entire series.

For some reason I don't recall this villain, despite owning the entire series on DVD. Granted I haven't watched all of Season 4 - the first 3 I've seen a million times since I was a kid but the "New Batman Adventures" are still slightly, well, new to me haha

But yah, I don't recall this villain and won't mind spoilers. So what was the deal with The Boss? Is it just because they never revealed who he was or was the episode just lousy?

In all honesty I haven't exactly been voting based on who I liked the least (does anyone really think that Clayface is like the fourth worst villain in TAS?) but in terms of getting a certain character or two to the final few rounds. Part of that strategy is piling on a character that others are voting for a lot, another part is taking down the "bigger" names so that there is less competition towards the end. Someone else started knocking down The Boss, so I went along for just that reason.

He isn't a good or even great villain, but he probably isn't near the worst of TAS, even among the ones that are actually still active in the thread.

I believe they're referring to Boss Biggis from the episode "The Forgotten." He was the guy enslaving the homeless out in a desert mine. IN the episode Bruce disguised himself as a homeless guy to figure out what was happening to the disappearing homeless and ended up being captured by him.

He was just a fat, lazy, disgusting guy who enslaved homeless people because he didn't think anyone would care. He's often seen eating food sloppily and often has food remnants on his shirt/coat.

Oh I see where you're coming from. I wasn't looking at it that way.

No I know who Boss Biggins is - he's also on the list of characters. The Boss and Boss Biggins were both on there. But Biggins was kind of meh too haha
