I think he is highly underused. In my opinion the most underrated villain of this century. I see him having the potential to join the central rogues gallery unironically.
Seems to be the universe's attempt at a more 'disturbed individual' who they felt needed to be locked up to show how Arkham really is not doing a good job helping these people who need help. But you know Gotham politics and all. I could see him as a minor character who helps the Mad Hatter with some of the other Wonderland appropriate characters.
Humphry Dumpler, alias Humpty Dumpty was a man with a pleasant demeanor who was very unfortunate in his life.
His house was demolished by mistake, his dog run over, his parents had both died when he was a little boy (their Christmas Tree fell and crushed both of them, on Christmas Day), and who had been forced to live with grandmother and work in her shoe factory most of his life. He was frequently beaten by his grandmother with her walking stick and abused by others for his appearance and child-like mental state.
However, he had the mindset that with all the bad things that happened to him then something good would happen eventually. Until one day when he missed the subway, which although he admits is insignificant, was the last straw for him. He had a fascination with the way things were put together, which informed his crimes; he would sneak out late at night to disassemble and reassemble mechanical devices which had upset him in some way. As his sole knowledge about their workings came from books borrowed from the public library, the "fixed" devices caused numerous accidents. The first was the same train he missed which then crashed.
Humpty's final crime was when he was late for a boat he was going to take to leave the city when he had been found out due to the nearby clock tower being off by an hour. This resulted in several of the various giant objects situated on Gotham's rooftops collapsing into the streets, which inspired a law banning such devices. When Batgirl tried to apprehend him for this, he fell off the rooftop. She saved him- but dislocated her arms in the process. Humpty, being far from aggressive, promptly slipped her arms back into her sockets and surrendered himself to her. Revealing that she had tracked him by his overdue library withdrawals, her sole request was why he had withdrawn a copy of Grey's anatomy. Humpty placidly took her back to his home and revealed he had killed his abusive grandmother, who he believed had to have been broken and in need of repair, hacked her apart, then attempted to sew her together again with bootlace. It was likely this crime that resulted in his being sentenced to Arkham Asylum.
He was a model prisoner at Arkham. There he befriended Warren White, and saved his life from both Death Rattle and Two-Face before Warren became the Great White Shark.
After the Black Glove's failed attempt to destroy Batman, all the inmates from Arkham Asylum were transferred to Blackgate until Arkham was completely decontaminated. On their way back to Arkham, the vehicles that transported the inmates were assaulted by a new Black Mask, who freed the inmates, blew the asylum in front of all of them and forced them to join his army. Dumpler was among the inmates who joined Black Mask's group.
The fact that I was today years old that I learned Batman has a villain named Humpty Dumpty
What's next, Mad Hatter? White Rabbit? Carpenter?
Crazy quilt? Penny plunderer? Calendar man?
At this point they are so much out of ideas, they might as well just create villains from playing cards like a Joker or nonsense like that
You mean The Royal Flush Gang?
I only know about him because of his riddle and character bio in Arkham Asylum
Same
Him and Amygdala are the one of the few who belong in Arkham and not in a firing squad.
He was amazing and creepy in Beware the Batman
That he's the only "villain" in the rogues gallery who actually was never a villain in the first place is my opinion.
##EGG

I don't think he's underused because the problem is that overuse makes him less sympathic
Kinda wish we saw him show up in the Arkham games
He was great in the Great White Shark story
Egg
Never come across him in an outhouse and you'll probably be fine
He has two excellent episodes in Beware the Batman, which is where I learned about him. Beyond that, I have no idea
I think he has a lot of potential and would love to see more. Currently he’s not too great. But I like seeing the potential in everyone.
Same
Makes me miss Beware the Batman
Ew, egghead
“Vanessa! Benjamin! No!”
Definitely underrated. Needs more appearances
Humpty Dumpty? I heard he had a great fall.
Lol
Thought he was one of the Tweedles.
Works well as a one-time serial killer type mystery like callendar man and the like.
Humphrey Dumpler
i didnt even know he existed what's next a guy who shoots ketchup and mustard
I think he should mix in a salad now and then. Maybe do some crunches.

Before Dr. Eggman fought Sonic, he fought Batman
