I've often found some of the comic-BTAS stuff to really build on what the show gave. We've had Killer Croc falling in love with the tv presenter who asked if he was simply another misunderstood victim (which led to Croc almost killing her boyfriend in an attempt to scare him off, but stopping to comment on a painting. (paraphrased). "Hey, Van Gogh." "You.. know his work?" "Not really, but my mom had this beautiful old book of his painting, y'know?"). Hell, one of the annuals had Batman catch the Scarecrow to find out the Scarecrow had busted out and *gone straight*. He faked his credentials, sure, but got back into teaching, and was thrilled to find a student who *cared* about the sciences (there was admittedly a bit of potential creepy teacher/student love potential)...
.. and then she got "beaten up" after a date with one of the jocks taking his class. Cue flashback to SC torturing the kid slowly with different agents, asking him if he felt even half of the fear she did when he beat her up). That one ends with Batman almost half-wondering who the villain really was.
As I say, nice insights into the potential of the characters, and all within the style of storytelling of the show.
