* CryForTheDevil: Surprisingly, given [[DiscOneFinalBoss his]] [[{{Jerkass}} role]] in the story, Carmine Falcone may elicit this reaction during his scene with Bruce [[spoiler:in the infirmary]]. The scene is rather quiet and even a little melancholic, with all the revelations about Thomas and Martha (especially if the player decides to have Bruce "play nice" and not threaten him). Falcone acts nicer to Bruce than during their first meeting and seems to remember fondly of [[spoiler:Thomas and Martha Wayne]]. Even claiming that they were close friends, practically family and [[spoiler:that he has a closet full of birthday presents he was never able to give Bruce]]. If Bruce gives him morphine to ease his pain, [[spoiler:he says he remembers him of his mother's kindness]]. All in all, with him [[spoiler:lying down injured on the bed and his dialogues implying that he's a RecoveredAddict who managed to keep clean during 40 years and him referring to himself as an "old dog", Falcone gives the impression of being an old lion that has finally been brought down. Whether it qualifies as AlasPoorVillain or not is up to anyone's interpretation though.
