Overview

Wiley Dalbert was a time traveling enemy of Batman.

History

Dalbert was born in the 27th Century where he worked as a physicist.

He created a small time traveling device that formed a tachyon field around him. The device itself had one flaw, it let him travel in only one direction; the past. Ready to put his device in use, he planned a backward crime spree. He researched beforehand and hired criminal muscle along the way.

One of his targets was the Gotham Museum of Antiquities where he hired Killer Moth. The robbery didn't go as planned when Killer Moth was stopped in his robbery attempts by Batgirl and the King but instead of stopping Dalbert they gave him the loot and suggested he should donate some of his new funds to a children's hospital. The duo were actually the siblings Booster Gold and Goldstar who were fixing an anomaly in time.

Further in the past, Dalbert did spend his stolen loot on public works like hospitals, one of them was a children's hospital. He settled down in Gotham City in the 1870's where he lived as a millionaire philanthropist and died in the year 1905.
