A bob the goon screengrab

Robert Hawkens, A.K.A Bob or Bob the Goon, is a villain from the Batman series, and the right hand man of The Joker in Tim Burton's Batman, he was an original character created for that film though he proved to be very popular. Bob was the best friend of Jack Napier long before he had the accident that changed him into The Joker, even that change didn't affect Bob's loyalty and he stood by his friend as the second in command of his criminal empire, rarely speaking, Bob had few lines and usually stayed in the shadows, though he was by far one of the best friends a psycho like the Joker could have. Bob met his end near the end of the film when his boss shot and killed him with his own gun out of anger as Batman had just stopped his plan to gas and kill all of Gotham, and he was looking for someone to take his anger out on. Before he was killed, Bob proved himself one of the few henchmen to almost put up a fight with Batman in a scene where he tried to kill Batman with a gun and several other goons, but Batman defeated the thugs and Bob's bullets had no effect on him, as he was wearing a bullet proof armor.
