Matilda was a nurse who worked at Gotham General Hospital. When the Joker threatened to blow up a hospital in Gotham, Matilda helped evacuate everyone from the building. She asked Polk and Davis, two policeman, for help, and Davis assisted her. However, the Joker showed up at the hospital to see Harvey Dent, and incapacitated Matilda and Davis. He took her uniform as a disguise, before freeing Dent and blowing up the hospital.
Background information and notes[]
- The name "Matilda" was on the name tag of the uniform worn by the Joker. It is a reference to Heath Ledger's daughter Matilda.
- It doesn’t make sense for the Joker to have killed the nurse in order to take her uniform because the nurse was already in the hospital and the Joker put on a nurse’s uniform in order to get into the hospital and walk around the hospital. Therefore Matilda was not killed.
