In other media

Television

• In Batwoman, the Wonderland Gang did not appear in the setting of the live-action television series set in the Arrowverse though several Lewis Carroll inspired characters were shown. Among them was an original character named August Cartwright who came to be known as the Caterpillar. He was the son of Mabel Cartwright who was referred to as the Queen of Hearts. His father died in his youth and growing up, August had a difficult relationship with his mother despite loving her and always wanting to please her. In adulthood, he started working as a doctor and became a colleague of Dr. Jonathan Crane. Later in his life, August had a son, Jonathan, with an unknown woman. His family moved into a rural area just outside the city. After Jonathan's face was permanently disfigured in an accident, causing him to be ostracized by his peers, August vowed to fix his son. He then started to perform experiments with skin grafts obtained from corpses to create fake faces. Despite this, August was very controlling and emotionally abusive to Jonathan. On January 26, 2003 while August and his son were out fishing, likely with Mabel too, they came upon Beth Kane, who washed up on shore after a car accident that killed her mother, Gabi Kane. August also fished out Gabi's severed head, prompting Mabel to ask him to use his abilities to transplant the woman's face onto hers. However, August knew his mother wearing a dead woman's face would bring unwanted attention, so he appeased Mabel by storing Gabi's face in a locked freezer at his home until supposedly the right time.
