Roxy Rocket (Roxanne Sutton) is a supervillain aenemy of Batman, originally created by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini for The Batman Adventures Annual #1 in 1994, and later incorporated into the animated show voiced by Charity James. In 2006, the character was introduced to the main DC Comics universe.

Like Baby Doll, Calendar Girl, Red Claw and Mala, Roxy is part of Bruce Timm and Paul Dini's contribution to increase the number of women in Superman and Batman's gallery of rogues in the series, but like Harley Quinn, Mercy Graves and Livewire, she was also adapted in the current DC Comics continuity, also increasing their roges galleries in the comics. Series producer and storywriter Paul Dini has said that Roxy had always been a favorite of his. "She's a character Bruce Timm and I created for the first Batman Adventures Annual," Dini said. "We always liked her, so we created a television story for her. Sparks fly in that one." Template:Ref

The introduction of Roxy is also representative of the darker, more adult turn the series took towards its end. Some viewers have noted that Roxy's joy and thrill of escaping from Batman in the conclusion of The Ultimate Thrill seems literally orgasmic. Template:Ref Template:Ref
