Like Carmine Falcone, Sal Maroni is a Batman villain that is able to be a threat without any superpowers. He is one of Gotham City's most dangerous mob bosses.
Sal Maroni was created by writer Bill Finger and artist Bob Kane.
Sal Maroni's original role in the Batman franchise was to be responsible for turning Harvey Kent into Two-Face. Harvey's last name used to be Kent, but it was later changed to Dent. I assume that this was done to avoid confusion with Clark Kent. Harvey was a district attorney that had the evidence needed to get Sal imprisoned. While in the courtroom, Sal threw acid in Harvey's face. The acid led to Harvey's transformation into Two-Face.
Originally, Sal Maroni was just supposed to be responsible for Two-Face's origin. However, he made a comeback as a prominent mob boss in Gotham City. He was made into a rival for Carmine Falcone. The two mob bosses often competed for power.
Sal Maroni didn't appear in Batman: The Animated Series. Rupert Thorne took his place as the mob boss that was responsible for Two-Face's origin.
Sal Maroni's first film appearance was in 1995's Batman Forever. He had a silent cameo. Despite his small role, this version of the character remains one of the few adaptations of the character that has been responsible for Two-Face's origin.
Sal Maroni appeared in two films in 2008.
Firstly, Sal Maroni appeared as one of the main antagonists of the animated Batman: Gotham Knight. Despite being animated, the film is meant to take place in the same continuity as the live-action Dark Knight trilogy.
Secondly, Sal Maroni appeared as a supporting antagonist in The Dark Knight. Harvey Dent was in the film, but Sal Maroni wasn't the one that caused his transformation into Two-Face. However, like in the comics, Sal Maroni and Harvey Dent were rivals. This version of Sal Maroni was so smug and overconfident that he thought that he was unafraid of both Batman and the Joker.
Sal Maroni was a recurring antagonist in the Gotham television series. Like in the comics, he was competing against Carmine Falcone. He attempted to have the Penguin aid his plans, but Penguin turned out to not be very trustworthy.
Sal Maroni was mentioned in The Batman. Carmine Falcone said that he might have been responsible for the death of Bruce Wayne's parents, but Carmine was likely setting Sal up to avoid suspicion.
Sal Maroni will appear in Penguin's upcoming series.
