The Mad Hatter was recruited to fight in the Joker's army, and the two sides battled in the war-torn streets of Gotham for weeks before Batman was forced to focus his efforts against one side. Дuring Batman's second year as a vigilante, Tetch joined in on the 'War of Jokes and Riddles' between the Joker and the Riddler for the right to kill Batman. His first murder victim was a girl named Alice Young, sister to Sam Young, who Tetch had bought from a child trafficker Jeb Lester to fulfill his sick fantasy.

In his adulthood, Tetch became a criminal and based his persona around Alice in Wonderland, taking the name of one of the stories characters - the Mad Hatter. His parents, upon discovering what he had done, committed their son to the Arkham Detention for Youth. In his derangement, the sound of his pet rabbit's thumping began to annoy him, and Tetch killed it with his bare hands. He soon became addicted to the drug, and his mind had totally warped to the point of insanity, developing an obsession with Alice Dee and one of his favorite stories Alice in Wonderland. ДЄlthough the drug initially worked, Tetch began to experience awful side effects, like premature hair loss, which he hid under a large top-hat, and worsening mental health. Dejected, Jervis spent the rest of the dance alone. At a school dance, Jervis made an attempt to hold Alice's hand but was rejected by the girl, who explained that she didn't like him in that way. The doctor explained that his stature was in part caused by a testosterone deficiency and after some prodding, he agreed to test some experimental testosterone enhancers on Jervis. Wanting to reach a normal height so that Alice would like him romantically, Jervis begged his parents to take him to the doctor to see if something could be done to make him taller. However, he developed a crush on a girl named Alice Dee who was the only person who treated him kindly. In school as a kid, Jervis Tetch was considerably small for his age and considered a outcast by his peers. Main article: Batman: The Dark Knight - Mad
