* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: So we have a man running Arkham Asylum as his own personal torture chamber and terrifying all of the members of the Rogues' Gallery to a degree that has [[HorrifyingTheHorror completely broken them and turned them into meek little sheep]] and the big discussion he brings to the table about how Arkham is a CardboardPrison full of irredeemable maniacs but there is still such a thing as going ''[[HeWhoFightsMonsters too]]'' far keeping them in line… and the Joker never appears, nor is he even mentioned. Is Bolton actually effective at dealing with the Clown Prince of Crime or does the Joker [[TooKinkyToTorture just take it in stride]]?

* EvilIsCool: In addition to his relatable mentality, many fans have pointed out that unlike many other members of Batman's rogues gallery, Lock-Up's costume is actually nice-looking and makes him appear more threatening. His mask also has an interesting parallel to Batman's: Batman's mask covers everything but his mouth, while Lock-Up's covers everything but his eyes.



* FashionVictimVillain: Averted, something fairly rare for one-off Batman villains. Many fans have pointed out that Lock-Up's costume is actually nice-looking and makes him appear more threatening. His mask also has an interesting parallel to Batman's: Batman's mask covers everything but his mouth, while Lock-Up's covers everything but his eyes.
