* LaserGuidedKarma: Yeah, Rojas canning Yin and using her as a hostage to trap Batman wasn't going to end well for him considering the TropeNamer for The CommissionerGordon debuts in this episode and puts his foot down, considering right before he could re-arrest Yin, Gordon forces Rojas to back off, release, and rehire her. Given this is the last we see of Rojas -- and unlike Yin, he doesn't get a mention afterward -- it's possible Gordon even fired Rojas or forced him to resign afterward.
