| ~ Lt. Max Eckhardt |
Lt. Max Eckhardt was a supporting antagonist of the 1989 movie Batman. He was played by William Hootkins.
Appearance
He's a corrupt police officer paid by the crime boss Carl Grissom. Even though Batman and Eckhardt never met, he does work for the crime boss. He sometimes works for Grissom's right hand man Jack Napier - albeit reluctantly, as he considers Napier a "psycho" and an "A-1 nut boy". When Grissom finds out that Napier has been having an affair with his mistress, he orders Eckhardt to ambush and kill Napier during a set-up robbery at Axis Chemicals. A gunfight erupts in Axis Chemicals between the police and the Napier's men, during which Commissioner Gordon arrives and takes control, ordering the police to apprehend Napier alive. Eckhardt attempts to escape, but Napier shoots him in the chest and kills him.
