Mr. Freeze's appearance in the film is similar to his muscular high-tech look from the 1990s comics, which itself was an evolved version of the Otto Preminger version from the Batman (1966).When Mr. Freeze is first seen in the film, he's stealing a diamond from a museum. Before writer Paul Dini introduced Mr. Freeze's more sympathetic origin story, his MO typically revolved around ice-themed crimes. He would often try and steal diamonds, seeing as how a slang term for diamonds is 'ice'. The very first time Batman and Robin encountered Mr. Freeze - back when he was known as Mr. Zero in 'The Ice Crimes of Mr. Zero' (Batman #121, February 1959) - he was in the process of stealing diamonds.Back then he was known as Mr. Zero. He only appeared in one story and was promptly forgotten until writer Max Hodge decided to use him in a two-part story for Batman (1966). Hodge reworked the character to make him more interesting, and he and the rest of the crew imbued him with certain characteristics that were subsequently adopted into the comics. These new elements included a Teutonic background, blue skin, and a new name: Mr. Freeze.Mr. Zero was then reintroduced into the comics in the story 'Mr. Freeze's Chilling Deathtrap!' (Detective Comics #373, March 1968); one of the stories that most heavily influenced this film. This was the first time he appeared as 'Mr. Freeze', and his change of name was playfully attributed to the TV show.In 1996, Hodge applied for monetary compensation for his part in creating Mr. Freeze. He created a document to support his case containing his notes on the writing of the first script and correspondences with the producer.
