List of Batman: The Brave and The Bold Characters - Villains - General Zahl

General Zahl

• Voice Actor: Corey Burton

General Zahl was a villain and archenemy of the Doom Patrol. In "The Last Patrol", he brings his old enemies out of retirement by sending out some of their oldest enemies to kill them, including Brain, Monsieur Mallah, Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man, Ir, Ar, and Ur, The Mutant Master, and The Arsenal (who is also Zahl's bodyguard).After Arsenal was defeated, General Zahl arrived in a ship and attacked Batman and the Doom Patrol with knock-out gas. Some minutes later on General Zahl's ship, General Zahl had Chief mention the real reason why the Doom Patrol broke up. It turned out that back in the Doom Patrol's last fight with General Zahl in France, General Zahl held a woman at gunpoint. Though General Zahl was defeated, the woman was killed. Now General Zahl reveals that he had planted two detonators on two nearby islands with the Doom Patrol deciding on which island to save with the choice being televised around the world. When Batman breaks free enough for the Doom Patrol to escape, General Zahl assembles the villains he had gathered. When General Zahl mentions that the actual detonator control is on his hat and activates it, the Doom Patrol are caught in the explosion while Batman used a knock-out gas on the other villains. General Zahl even mourned the Doom Patrol's sacrifice as he and the other villains are later arrested (namely because he failed to reveal them as "frauds" and making the world love them even more, thus disappointing him).
