Tony Zucco is a minor antagonist inBatman: The Animated Series.
He appeared as the main villain in theBatman: The Animated Series episode "Robin's Reckoning; Part 1 and 2".
He was voiced by Thomas F. Wilson, who also portrayedBiff Tannen,Buford "Madog” Tannen, andGriff Tannen in theBack to the Future trilogy and another Batman villain,Catman, inBatman: The Brave and the Bold.
Tony Zucco starts off as a young man eager to make a name for himself in the racketeering business, as well as with the mob. On the side, he strong-arms companies to pay him protection money. He attempted to sell "protection" to Mr. Haley, the ringmaster of Haly's Circus. When Haley refused, Zucco swore revenge. He sabotaged the high wire the Flying Graysons used in their trapeze act, resulting in John and Mary Grayson's deaths and making their son Dick an orphan. Zucco's brashness infuriates his uncle, mob bossArnold Stromwell, who disowns him after Batman visited his house looking for him.
Bruce Wayne decided to adopt the young Grayson. Grayson wanted to after Zucco with a vengeance. After a couple of brief run-ins with Batman, Zucco escapes and hides out in an abandoned amusement park on the edge of Gotham. Nine years later, Batman and Robin apprehendone of Zucco's henchmen, and learn that the mobster has returned to the city.
Current History[]
Batman tries to handle it on his own, not wanting Robin to get involved in it. Upset at Batman's orders, Robin goes after Zucco anyway, despite Alfred's protests. Batman goes to the amusement park and finds Zucco, but injures his leg, and is forced to fight the henchmen with his injury. Batman defeats everyone but Zucco, who stands over Batman with a machine gun once his henchmen are defeated, but Robin shows up on his motorcycle and drags Zucco to the edge of a pier. Batman comes up behind them, and manages to calm Robin down. Robin apologizes to Batman, and throws Zucco back onto the pier. After this fight with Batman and Robin, Zucco is arrested and convicted of murder. Batman explains that he distanced Robin from the investigation because he didn't want Zucco to hurt him any more.
