* WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: His claiming to have held wildly varying jobs is a RunningGag. It's unclear whether he's lying to try and make himself sound useful or whether he's actually a big enough screw-up to have had and been fired from all of those jobs. It's confirmed that he was at least telling the truth about being a GCN cameraman. [[spoiler:He was married to Summer Gleeson while he was employed there.]]

* TraumaCongaLine: First, Arkham is carjacked by the Joker and forced to act as an accomplice to his kidnapping of Bolton. Then he is taken to his house, tied up along with his wife, and told that a bomb will kill her at midnight unless he follows his instructions. Then, after the church incident, he escapes in the middle of shootout between the Joker and Gotham police, only to be captured again after the Joker commandeers a squad car. ''Then'', after being forced to sell the asylum to [[spoiler:Lex Luthor]], he watches as his wife blows up with his wife still inside it. She survives, but is in a vegetative state with little chance of recovery. That in a nutshell is what amounts to his StartOfDarkness.
