I say Sal Maroni because I loved the portrayal we saw by Eric Roberts and how he was in Gotham Knight...good stuff.

Rupert Thorne is certainly a close second.

1. Carmine Falcone
2. Sal Maroni
3. Sal Velestra
4. Rupert Thorne
5. Arnold Stromwell

Thorne was really done well in TAS, I liked how they used him for a bunch of episodes with amazing stories.

I couldn't agree more. Great choices

Yeah, the guys in charge of BTAS really handled the mafia bosses well... And there were plenty of them!

Thorne
Stromwell
Zucco
Dagget
Jazzman
Velestra
Bronski
Sol

I'm just upset that Falcone and Maroni never appeared...

Well, it's no big deal since the series was so great. I loved how Thorne played an intricate role in the creation of Two-Face, two of my favorite episodes of the entire series.

I like how Tom Wilkinson was cast against type to play Carmine Falcone in Batman Begins. He liked to bluster & threaten, while Eric Roberts as Sal Maroni was cooler and could negotiate better.

Yeah, I liked how even when Dent was approaching him in the courtroom and when Batman got him in the club he was calm.

It's got to be Maroni and Falcone. I love those Year One-period comics, with Batman going up against the mob. Though the mob's somewhat faded later into Batman's 'crusade', Black Mask was pretty cool in War Games/ Under the Hood.

Falcone. The guy pulled a gun out on Bruce Wayne in a room that had cops and a judge in it, and they didn't do sh*t. That's gangster right there.

Black Mask.

maroni and blak mask..

eric roberts was a total ba and the blak mask jus is a ba

A ba? They're sheep????

BA = Bad Ass...?

Well, she spelled "Black" wrong so she could've very well meant "ba" as in sheep.

Certainly unique.

Maroni is my favorite mob boss, I guess I was really sold by him in TDK & GK.

Agreed

The Jazzman seemed cool. He's not a favorite, but he was kinda cool. He only had one episode, right?

I thought Maroni was pretty awesome in TDK.

Although I have nothing to complain about Falconi (Wilko did an awesome job), Maroni was great imo.

Yeah, he was a kool character... He shot Gordon (off screen, though), which is still pretty kool for a kid's show...

Something that I didn't like about BTAS's organized crime scene was that they had all these gangsters around, but they never really had any major turf wars or anything (a story where Batman has to keep the peace between the mob families would have been ace)... The only time they did something like that was when Thorne tried to kill Stromwell in the episode "It's Never Too Late"...

Now that you mention it, that is kind of odd. I guess you could say the mob bosses had some sort of respect for one another or that they were too focused on trying to carry out plans and avoid Batman.
