Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles
Professor Milo
Achilles Milo was an unscrupulous scientist from Gotham City who specialized in the biological tampering of animal subjects. He had long been engaging in these illegal practices when he raised the ire of Catwoman, whose cat Isis he had had captured. At the time, Milo was working for Roland Daggett to infect stray animals with a special derivative of the rabies virus, as well as an antidote which Daggett could market, netting them fortune and acclaim. This drew the attention of Batman who teamed up with Catwoman to bring the operation down and save Isis.
Although his plans were dashed, Milo managed to escape. He was later sought out by the athlete Anthony Romulus. Romulus had Milo create for him a performance enhancing drug that could not be detected by standard dope-screening tests. Milo created such a serum utilizing the genetic material of a timber wolf. This proved highly effective and Romulus went on to become a celebrated winner of multiple Olympic Gold Medals.
Continued use of the serum caused Romulus to transform, becoming more and more wolf-like. Milo stated he could cure the condition, yet he instead hastened it so that Romulus transformed into a werewolf. Milo then blackmailed Romulus, stating that he would only reverse the lycanthropy if Romulus used his abilities to take out Batman. This effort failed and Milo again went into hiding.
He was later recruited by Amanda Waller to work in research and development at the shadowy Cadmus Project. Milo’s lack of success led to his being fired from the project. In a fit of anger, Milo released the creature known as Doomsday who was being held in confinement at Cadmus. Doomsday’s first act of freedom was to kill Professor Milo.
Actor Treat Williams voiced Achilles Milo with the villain first appearing in the thirty-third episode of the first season of Batman: The Animated Series, ‘Cat Scratch Fever.’

Forty years ago (4 March 1984) on this day in show biz history the made for TV adaptation of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire premiered on ABC. This interpretation – starring Ann-Margret as Blanche DuBois, Treat Williams as Stanley Kowalski, Beverly D'Angelo as Stella and Randy Quaid as Mitch – was green-lit during Williams’ lifetime, but he didn’t live to see it. “Ann-Margret looks too healthy to portray Blanche DuBois, the physically and mentally fragile Southern belle protagonist of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire, but we forget this discrepancy five minutes into her marvelous performance,” AllMovie concludes. “The 1984 Streetcar Named Desire is less a remake of the 1951 version than a companion piece - a praiseworthy alternate version of the same sturdy material.” John H O’Connor of The New York Times, meanwhile, raved “Ann-Margret transforms [Blanche’s] disintegration into a journey of incredible pain and heartbreaking beauty. Her performance keeps building in intensity until, by the final scenes, she reaches a pitch of vulnerability that is almost unbearably riveting.” You can watch it for yourself on YouTube.
