For being set up as the new Batman's badass archenemy, why was Derek ultimately so fucking stupid and unthreatening?

Cause he was just a glowing skeleton

He was a walking Nuclear Meltdown.
They just didn't get to use him enough.

He was an executive, being stupid is a prerequisite for the position.

McGuiness finishes the job.

He's only nonthreatening because you posted a picture of him eating a sandwich.

he's eating a sandwich because he's been reduced from a playboy with the world in his hands to hiding and dying soon after

I'm aware of that.
You could of chosen any other picture of him is all I'm saying.

Because he only lasts for less than a third of the show's run, was living on borrowed time, and never really did anything to hurt Terry after killing his dad.

He's Luthor and Terry needed a Joker

> that scene where he has the audacity to tell Terry to leave him alone and you might feel pity for him
> reveals after he's killed so many daddies he can't remember most of them

Not that user, but how about this?

Terry was never able to take him on in a fight.

I wonder why they were so quick to bring him down and then not follow up on the hint that he may have survived in the following seasons. It seemed kind of a waste for someone who could have been the final boss, not to mention how the later seasons were a bit lackluster in the villain department.

Who was the closest to a big bad in this series, Inque?

Why did anyone work for Blight after his secret was exposed? Wouldn't people not want to work with a guy who could give them terminal cancer just by being in the same room as him?

They wanted to set up the expectation that he'd be Terry's archenemy and then destroy it. He died, and they put that line of dialogue in there to appease broadcast standards and practices who don't like it when characters die in kids' cartoons.

Why did Terry want to help Blight? Blight just said that he'd killed so many people that he couldn't tell who Terry was referring to by "father". And Terry had previously killed villains who weren't as evil, so why does Blight get a chance at redemption?

He came back in a comic, but it was lame. He had amnesia, and died like a bitch. I wish the show did a followup focusing on how Derek survived, but had essentially lost everything (his fortune, his career, his connections) and was in such a shitty position that he couldn't even get henchmen.

He probably wanted the satisfaction to see Blight be put in jail and rot there forever.

Because they wanted him to be a Lex Luthor like character. He was a threat to both Bruce and Terry/Batman in different ways. Plus he couldn't be flat out arrested because of different reasons/lack of evidence. They even said his voice actor almost was Lex in the Superman series but they went with Clancy Brown instead. They also said they didn't want to just do Batman villans V2 which is why a lot of stories involved him trtying to get Batman or Bruce and when they got rid of him they went with that Cobra/Snake cult thing. They also didn't have a road map for the series because they didn't have comics to pull from, instead they tried something new. Unfortunately not everything worked.
