Electro is a villain and character created specifically for The New Adventures of Batman.
History[]
He arrived on Earth with a shrinking ray to use on Batman and Robin. After locating the Dynamic Duo to the banquet held in their honour, Electro shrinks Batman and Robin and took them with him, and warns Commissioner Gordon not to do anything foolish, or he will shrink Gotham City.
After escaping with the shrunken duo, Electro takes them to a military base and orders them to infiltrate the Project Alpha room. However, when Batman and Robin refuse, Electro uses his mind ray on them and sends them into the base with a miniature camera to take pictures of the documents in the Alpha room.
After the shrunken duo succeeded with their task, they returned to Electro, who placed them in a glass jar and informed them that the effects of his mind ray would wear off in a moment. As Electro drove back to his base, he narrowly avoids crashing into a rock by the road, causing the glass jar containing Batman and Robin to fall out of Electro's hovercraft and into the sea. Using his Bat cutting torch, Batman and Robin, after recovering from the mind ray, escaped the jar and used pieces of driftwood to surf back to shore. After returning to shore, Batman and Robin head back to the Batcave where the Batcomputer restores them back to their normal size.
After learning from Batgirl about Electro's plans, the Dynamic Duo picked her up with the Batcopter and arrived at Electro's base, where he was using his shrinking ray to capture military bases and weapons. Using their Batarangs, and with help from Bat-Mite, the heroes destroy Electro's shrinking ray, and Electro gets shrunk by his own ray, landing him in prison.
