25'''Voiced By (Br. Pt):''' Creator/MauroRamos
26'''James Gordon''' is the head of the Gotham City Police Department and a key ally of Batman. After Arkham City was created, he began protesting Mayor Quincy Sharp's extreme policies, eventually refusing to turn over criminals to be thrown into the prison district.
27----
28* BadassInDistress: He's captured with some frequency by Harley Quinn and the Joker.
29* TheCommissionerGordon: Obviously. His character arc in ''Origins'' is about coming to trust Batman, and by the time of ''Asylum'' he's a loyal ally.
30* CoolOldGuy: In ''Asylum'' and ''City''. He's older than every character in the game series, but still kicks ass.
31* DemotedToExtra: In ''City''. Justified since the entire game takes place within a megaprison with no GCPD presence that he is actively trying to keep people from being sent to. He gets slightly more involvement in ''Harley Quinn's Revenge,'' though -- just a few lines in a conversation with Batman, some other chatter on the radio and off, and a conversation at the end, but more than in the game proper.
32** He [[AscendedExtra gets much larger roles]] in ''Origins'' and ''Knight'', which makes sense as both games showcase Batman and Gordon working together, side by side.
33* DistressedDude: He gets kidnapped by Harley, then later the Joker to "referee" the {{Final|Boss}} BossBattle of the first game. And in ''Origins'', [[spoiler:he gets grabbed by the Joker at Blackgate Prison, who transfers the shock crown from his own head to Gordon's, and holds him at gunpoint in the hopes that they'll be TogetherInDeath unless Batman can temporarily stop Bane's heart. And then he gets captured by Scarecrow towards the end of ''Knight'']].
34* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:By the end of Arkham Knight, after years of being the OnlySaneMan for the city, he gets to see Gotham enjoy a long run of peace after Batman's SecretIdentity is revealed, he is elected Mayor of Gotham and likewise he gets to see his daughter, whose disability he blamed himself for, get married]].
35* FaceDeathWithDignity: As a NonStandardGameOver. If you fail to save him from Harley, he tells her "Do your worst" before she shoots him to death.
36* GoodOldFisticuffs: In Origins, he's able to take down martial artists with nothing but his "rough childhood" as he puts it.
37** In the [=PS3=]-Exclusive Challenges in ''Asylum'' where you play as the Joker, Gordon fights alongside the guards from Round 3 onwards in his arena level.
38* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Despite witnessing the corruption of the police force first-hand in ''Arkham Origins'', he still naively believed that the majority of the police officers had the same sense of right and wrong as he does and the fact that they have a badge means they work within the law. One of his most egregious examples is when he puts blind faith in Branden solely because he's a cop, despite the fact that Branden has proven time and again that he's a DirtyCop who hates his sense of justice. Barbara correctly points out that he "put[s] way too much faith in the system".
39* {{Hypocrite}}: Calls out Batman for supposedly killing Bane in ''Arkham Origins'' when he himself shot two mooks trying to kill Warden Joseph (though it's implied he intentionally wounded them). Presumably, he has more of a problem with the authority of law than the kill itself.
40* IncorruptiblePurePureness: As Commissioner, he made it a goal to clean the GCPD of crooked cops. He has done wonders in cleaning up the service's reputation in the WretchedHive of Gotham.
41* IntergenerationalFriendship: As befitting as he can be to Batman. One flashback actually reveals that Gordon who had taken a statement from a then eight year old Bruce Wayne, comforting him and telling him to call him, "Jim".
42* MadeOfIron: Or maybe rubber or some other non-conductive material. During the first game's final boss fight, the Joker repeatedly fries him with what certainly looks and sounds like enough electricity to electrocute him each time.
43* MinoredInAsskicking: As shown in ''Arkham Origins'', when Gordon assists Batman in taking down several thugs. Even Batman is impressed!
44* NotSoStoic: Most of the time, he keeps his cool and remains calm and collected, but in ''Arkham Knight'', [[spoiler:he explodes at Batman when he finds out that Barbara's has been taken by Scarecrow's forces, even going so far as to outright punch the Dark Knight in the face.]]
45* SecretSecretKeeper: [[spoiler:In the final hours of ''Arkham Knight'', he reveals he knows Batman is Bruce Wayne. As he was previously conscious when Batman fought the Arkham Knight aka Jason Todd, who openly called him Bruce in the confrontation, Gordon may have just figured it out right then. However, it's still a bit of a leap in logic to make, and he doesn't seem surprised by the revelation, making it likely that Gordon knew (or at least suspected) his secret identity beforehand.]]
46* SpecsOfAwesome: As always, Gordon's a highly competent cop who sports a pair of glasses.
47* SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: Gordon plays this role for most of ''Origins'', being distrustful of Batman while still being a good cop. By the end of the game, he's learned to trust Batman, and thinks that he could be a symbol to inspire Gotham.
48* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:In ''Origins'', after Batman temporarily stops Bane's heart and Gordon is released from the Joker's grasp, the Joker returns the favor by intending to shoot Warden Joseph, but Gordon takes the bullet for him. The Joker's response? "Well, ''that's'' the Christmas spirit!" Good thing Gordon was wearing a bulletproof vest.]]
49* TokenGoodCop: In ''Origins'', James Gordon is the only honest cop among the GCPD during Bruce's early years as Batman, even if he initially opposed Batman for being a vigilante. That said, he still had the flaw of being a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter, naively believing that the majority of the police force had the same sense of right and wrong as he does and thinks that their badges prove they work within the law to the point that Barbara says he "put[s] way too much faith in the system".
50* TokenGoodTeammate: Is perhaps the ''only'' honest cop in ''Origins.''
51** Anarky outright calls him the only "clean" cop in Gotham in one of Nigma's extortion tapes.
52* TimeShiftedActor: Creator/RickDWasserman voices a young Gordon when Batman flashes back to the night of his parents' murder during the second Scarecrow hallucination in ''Asylum''.

54[[folder:Harvey Bullock]]
55!!Harvey Bullock
56->'''Voiced By (En):''' Creator/RobertCostanzo
57->'''Voiced By (It):''' Tony Fuochi
58[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/harvey_bullock_1.jpg]]
59[[caption-width-right:300:''"No such thing as a Batman, huh?"'']]
60One of the police officers with the GCPD, '''Harvey Bullock''' serves as Gordon's foil in ''Arkham Origins''.
61----
62* TheCameo: While he doesn't appear in person in any other games, his name appears on the shift list written on one of the whiteboards.
63* DirtyCop: He is one of the few who has little - or at least less than usual - corruption seen in the game. His profile notes that he ''is'' on the take, but that he still does his best to do as much good as he can regardless - especially when civilians are involved. Extortion tapes reveal that he's trying to dig up dirt on Gordon on Loeb's orders, but as Loeb dies at the beginning of ''Origins'' and he's seen supporting Gordon all the way through, it's likely that he's since abandoned that much like his comics counterpart.
64* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As noted, he is on the take, spies on Gordon, and is willing to use force on suspects. However, he apparently treats civilians properly and eventually shows loyalty to Gordon.
65* TheLancer: Serves as Gordon's foil in game, especially since Batman has no direct communication with him.
66* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Mistaking Batman for Joker's partner and asking him about it causes the beginning of Joker's obsession with Batman and a decade of carnage and death wrought by the Clown Prince of Crime.
67[[/folder]]
68[[folder:Branden]]
69!!Howard Scott Branden
70[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/branden_1.jpg]]
71->'''Voiced By (En):''' Chris Fries
72->'''Voiced By (It):''' Alberto Oliviero
73A DirtyCop who worked as TheDragon to Commissioner Loeb, '''Branden''' serves as an antagonistic leader within the police in ''Origins''.
74----
75* TheBully: Clearly fond of excessive force, and has a prior history of leaning on those in the department with more integrity than himself.
76* ContinuitySnarl: While his in-game bio gives it as "Howard", according to a radio transmission the player can pick up on the Cryptographic Sequencer in "Cold, Cold Heart", his first name is "Scott".
77* DirtyCop: The head of them.
78* DragonAscendant: Already chairs the massively corrupt SWAT division, and has designs to take over control of the GCPD after Loeb's death.
79* HatOfAuthority: He wears a black cap with the GCPD logo, a standard for SWAT officers.
80* HateSink: A crooked, unfaithful bastard.
81* {{Jerkass}}: All his other tropes affirm this.
82* JerkWithTheHeartOfAJerk: Cheating on his wife pretty much cemented him as this.
83* KillerCop: Wants Batman in ''dead'', because he's got a deal for the bounty.
84* NamedByTheAdaptation: His first name was never revealed in either ''Comicbook/BatmanYearOne'', ''Year One'''s AnimatedAdaptation, or his brief appearance in ''Comicbook/DarkVictory''.
85* SkewedPriorities: Due to his greedy DirtyCop personality, Branden is more concerned about the fifty million dollar bounty on Batman's head than the actual criminals terrorizing the streets of Gotham.
86* SmallNameBigEgo: Holds himself in quite high regard and believes that bringing down Batman will be easy money, to the point where he ''still'' tries to take him on one-on-one after being shown that he outclasses the SWAT team in terms of skill. (Batman at least has the excuse of inexperience, whereas Branden has apparently making bad judgment calls like this for years - such as [[SuicidalOverconfidence holding the same mindset about Deathstroke, a man known as the world's deadliest assassin]]. [[BullyingADragon Not wise.]])
87* SmugSnake: Not quite as skilled as he gives himself credit for.
88* TheSociopath: Cheating on his wife, constantly trying to kill Gordon and Batman throughout the game, and looking out for no one but himself.
89* UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler:After Batman saves him near the end of the game, he still tries to take him down. [[OneHitKO That ends quickly.]]]]

91[[folder:Commissioner Loeb]]
92!!Commissioner Gillian B. Loeb
93[[quoteright:340:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gillian_loeb_arkham_origins.jpg]]
94->'''Voiced By (En):''' Creator/JBBlanc
95->'''Voiced By (It):''' Luca Ghignone
96'''Commissioner Gillian B. Loeb''' was the corrupt commissioner of Gotham City's Police Department. He was murdered on Christmas Eve in the second year of Batman's career during a raid at Blackgate Penitentiary.
97----
98* AssholeVictim: Placed in Blackgate's gas chamber by the very criminals he was so buddy-buddy with. Extortion tapes reveal that he was all for having Gordon killed for not being dirty - not because he was disrupting business, but merely out of ''spite'' - and that he had to be talked out of it by ''Black Mask'' of all people.
99* DeathByIrony: The corrupt police commissioner was not only killed by one of the criminal mobs he had the most contact with, he was also put in the gas chamber reserved for death sentenced criminals.
100* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler:In ''ComicBook/BatmanDarkVictory'', Loeb was killed by Sofia Falcone hanging him during her killing spree as [[SamusIsAGirl the Hangman]]. Here, the Joker, posing as Black Mask, puts him in a gas chamber while freeing the Calendar Man and threw the switch, exposing Loeb to poison gas.]]
101* DirtyCop: Right before he's killed, he plays up his friendliness with the criminal element to try to get out of it.
102* EtTuBrute: After years of cooperating with Black Mask, he's shocked and angered when his former partner betrays and kills him in a gas chamber. [[spoiler:Though that's because it's not Sionis himself, but rather the Joker disguised as Black Mask.]]
103* HatOfAuthority: He wears a fancy white, angular police hat with gold-colored decorations.
104* HelplessWindowDeath: Killed in the gas chamber by Black Mask [[spoiler: really the Joker in disguise]] while Batman watches helplessly behind a two-way mirror, unable to intervene due to the number of henchman and the imposing presence of Killer Croc.
105* {{Jerkass}}: Definitely. He's corrupt to the core and has his men beat or kill honest cops like Gordon, simply because of his childish hate of anyone not as rotten as him.
106* KarmicDeath: Stuck in a gas chamber like the criminal he is by the orders of his boss (or Joker pretending to be).
107* SacrificialLamb: He's killed in the beginning of the game to show how weak the police force is.
108* TheSociopath: A crooked asshole who tried to kill Gordon out of spite.

110[[folder:Owens]]
111!!Officer Owens
112[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maxresdefault_7.png]]
113->'''Voiced By (En):''' Creator/DaveBoat
114->'''Voiced By (It):''' ???
115'''Officer Owens''' is an ordinary beat cop in Gotham City. On Halloween night, he stops at Pauli's Diner for dinner, only to fall victim to Scarecrow's fear gas. Notably, he serves as a playable character in the intro sequence for ''Arkham Knight''.
116-----
117* HopeSpot: One of the Gotham Stories reveals he had this before Halloween. He and his family were happy, his son was sent to a good school and with Joker dead and crime levels low, police work was less stressful. The name of that story, "False Dawn", ouch.
118* IntroOnlyPointOfView: ''Knight'' opens from his perspective showing how Scarecrow uses his new fear gas for the first time.
119* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Batman finds him in the game, he's in the GCPD lockup, being consoled by his fellow officers, but distraught over shooting up the restaurant under the influence of the fear toxin.
120** Unless the player is savvy enough to realize that the "zombies" they see during the hallucination are real people and deliberately don't shoot, in which case his fellow officers express amazement that he didn't shoot anybody. He's still freaking out in his cell either way though.
121* NamedByTheAdaptation: The game's novelization gives him the first name "Scott".
122* VideogameCaringPotential: Provided you didn't actually shoot any of the "zombies", he's still freaking out due to the Fear Gas, but it's telling that he's on the track to recovery. In fact, he does recover over the course of the game, until he's well enough to be left sitting in an unused office in the main room of the GCPD, while the cell he was in gets used to house Deacon Blackfire's disciples.
123[[/folder]]
124[[folder:JT Wicker]]
125!!Officer JT Wicker
126->'''Voiced By (En):''' Creator/JimMeskimen
127->'''Voiced By (It):''' ???
128'''Officer JT Wicker''' seems like any ordinary GCPD officer, but he's actually a conspirator with the Riddler.
129----
130* BitchInSheepsClothing: Beneath his polite exterior, Wicker is a crooked cop who's been helping the Riddler, keeping him off of the GCPD's investigations and placing some of his trophies across the city.
131* BlatantLies:
132** On top of brownnosing him, he tries begging Batman to release him by claiming that he was a triple agent feeding bad intel to the Riddler, even though he had just confessed his crimes moments ago and never brought it up then.
133** He tries convincing Batman again to release him by claiming he's sick and needed the money offered by Riddler, poorly imitating some coughs to garner his pity.
134* DidntThinkThisThrough: His decision to work for Riddler in an era where the GCPD is more honest and less forgiving towards a DirtyCop (not to mention Batman shows no mercy to them) shows that said decision was poorly thought out. Plus, him choosing to work for Riddler (the ButtMonkey of the rogues gallery) instead of one of the somewhat more respected names (Penguin, Two-Face, etc.) also shows that he's not particularly smart.
135* DirtyCop: Seemingly the only corrupt cop still left in the GCPD by the time of ''Knight''
136* TheMole: Ostensibly on Gordon's side, Wicker has secretly been feeding information to Nigma and sabotaging the GCPD's efforts to track him.
137* NeverMyFault: He never once expresses remorse for betraying his comrades to work with the Riddler. He either offers poor excuses for his corruption or blames Batman for driving him to work with Nigma in the first place.
138* PunchClockVillain: {{Invoked}}. After confessing all of his crimes under pressure by Batman, Wicker tries telling him and his colleagues that he's personally not a bad guy and should be let off the hook. No one buys it.
139* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: After all of his excuses to get released fail, he drops the polite façade and delivers a very spiteful speech to Batman:
140-->'''Wicker:''' Riddler's really got it in for you, you know. Seriously, I've never seen a guy so obsessed. He'll get you sooner or later, Bat. Either that, or you'll drive him mad. It used to be funny, you know, you'd haul Eddie in and he'd sit in his cell lecturing anyone who'd listen about how stupid you were. And then, one day, it just wasn't funny anymore. It was pathetic. He stopped taking care of himself, got that crazy look in his eyes. I swear, man, he's broken. ''You'' broke him. And now you threw me in here for feeling sorry for him. Screw you!
141* TokenEvilTeammate: In ''Knight'', he's the only villainous and corrupt GCPD officer.

143!Other Gotham Citizens
144[[folder:Quincy Sharp]]
145!!Mayor Quincy Sharp
146[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TropeSharp_8969.jpg]]
147[[caption-width-right:350:''"My administration has taken steps to guarantee the personal safety of each and every member of Gotham, from the rich to the poor by separating the disgusting criminal element that eats away at our fine city like a cancer."'']]
148->'''Voiced By (En):''' Creator/TomKane
149->'''Voiced By (It):''' Cesare Rasini
150'''Quincy Sharp''' is the politically ambitious head of Arkham Asylum during the events of the first game. After taking credit for stopping The Joker's takeover of Arkham, Sharp was elected mayor and created Arkham City, seeking to rid Gotham of its criminals forever.
151----
152* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:Sharp was a pompous, cowardly, self-serving ass with a hidden cruel streak a mile long, who fantasized about killing his patients and secretly tortured the ones who were too weak to fight back. Yet his story "Visiting Hours" is a very melancholy end for the character, as he's clearly been left a broken shell of a man by Hugo tampering with his mind, and he's regressed to a blubbering, almost childlike state of self-pity in Strange's absence; when he sees a hallucination of Strange, he's elated, and begs and pleads with it not to leave him upon learning it's not real. "Strange", in turn, calmly tells him how best to kill himself.]]
153* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:He wishes to kill and/or torture all of the inmates at Arkham. And while this may seem understandable, even pragmatic, with the likes of [[MonsterClown The Joker]], [[ImAHumanitarian Killer Croc]], and [[MisanthropeSupreme Poison Ivy]], he also beat a random inmate to death just to vent some frustration.]]
154* BelievingTheirOwnLies: He's actually deluded himself into believing that he's a great, model human being. In truth, he's not as beloved as he thinks he is.
155* BoomerangBigot: [[spoiler:He wants to kill all mentally ill people as a result of his self-loathing over his own insanity.]]
156* BoundAndGagged: Quinn ties him up in ''Asylum'' to keep him hostage.
157* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Downplayed. Hugo Strange had brainwashed the warden into acting as his pawn, enabling his ultimate plan for Batman. The effects of the brainwashing continued long after Strange's own death, where he witnessed hallucinations of Strange, contributing to Sharp committing suicide.]]
158* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler:He finds himself at the mercy of the inmates in his newly built prison after lecturing on and on about how they deserved to be locked away in it.]]
159* ButtMonkey: In ''Arkham Asylum'', he's beaten by Harley Quinn multiple times, forced to make embarrassing announcements, and is tied up as bait for Batman.
160* CanonForeigner: Only shows up in the Arkhamverse, at least until he made an appearance in ''Podcast/BatmanUnburied''.
161* CharacterDeath: Under post-mortem hypnotic suggestion from Hugo Strange, he [[spoiler:commits suicide after being arrested for his role in Arkham City's creation.]]
162* DidntThinkThisThrough: Attempted to kill [[spoiler:The Joker in his own cell alone. This backfired tremendously, as Joker disarmed him of his knife and then threatened him with it. Probably the only reason Joker didn't kill him right then was because he was amused that Sharp would even try it.]]
163* DirtyCoward: Under the [[spoiler:"possession" of Amadeus Arkham]], Sharp takes righteous pride in his [[spoiler:often brutal and violent treatment of inmates, who he views as incurable monsters and brutes.]] However, he also admits [[spoiler:he was too cowardly to kill the Joker and too physically weak to harm Croc, instead taking out his frustration on a far more helpless schizophrenic patient.]]
164* DoingInTheWizard: In the first game, Sharp is revealed to be [[spoiler:the "Spirit of Amadeus Arkham", implying he's either cracked under the strain of his position or was possessed in some way.]] Come the sequel, it's revealed that [[spoiler:Hugo Strange was just drugging and hypnotizing him by using skills he learned from the Mad Hatter.]]
165* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:Dies by killing himself in between ''City'' and ''Knight'' after being haunted by Hugo Strange.]]
166* {{Egopolis}}: Portraits and photos of him are everywhere in Arkham Asylum, and a large statue of himself sits outside the Visitor Center. One of the first things the escaped inmates do is build a bonfire around the latter.
167* EmbarrassingNickname: Joker has a tendency to call him "Sharpie". Quincy himself hates it, demanding Joker refer to him as "Warden Sharp" [[spoiler:and as the Spirit of Arkham, refers to Joker calling him such as "that horrible name" in the same manner one would describe a bully's taunts.]]
168* EvilBrit: His accent is noticeable and has a few atrocities under his name.
169* EvilOldFolks: His exact age isn't known, but his white hair and balding scalp suggest he's approaching seniority at least. [[spoiler:His ambition to punish Gotham's criminals to the extent he wishes however, certainly makes him almost as bad as them.]]
170* FantasticRacism: [[spoiler:All of the Asylum patients with less than human features he treats with a notable air of disgust only calling them by non-humanising terms in his Spirit of Arkham logs. Refers to Joker as "the monster", Killer Croc as "the beast" and whilst he starts referring to Poison Ivy as "the woman" he quickly feels that her green skin means she no longer resembles a human being, and starts regarding her as such.]]
171* FakeUltimateHero: He took credit for stopping Joker's plot and securing the Asylum in the first game, and uses that to become the Mayor of Gotham and build Arkham City.
172* HeWhoFightsMonsters: [[spoiler:After he had spent years amongst the Asylum and its inmates, his mind had slowly turned murderous and insane, developing another secret personality: "The Spirit of Arkham". Before the events of the game, he had tried to kill Joker in his cell (failed badly), and had thought of lobotomizing Harley and burning Ivy alive.]]
173* HeelFaceDoorSlam: The thing that prompted Strange to finally throw him out was when he attempted to try and locate who was backing Strange.
174* HeroicWannabe: He thinks that he is Gotham's true savior, but we all know that's not true.
175* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:He killed himself in between ''Arkham City'' and ''Arkham Knight''.]]
176* KnightTemplar: [[spoiler:He ordered TYGER to round up anyone they deemed a criminal, ''regardless if they served their sentence or not''. If you've got any sort of criminal record, you're dumped in with the psychos. One issue of the prequel comic begins with Sharp's goons attempting to arrest ''[[IneffectualSympatheticVillain the Carpenter]]'' of all people.]]
177* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:About two hours from the initiation of Protocol 10, Hugo Strange has Sharp removed from his position of Mayor and thrown into Arkham City to be left at the mercy of the inmates he sent into Arkham City in the first place.]]
178* MilitaryBrat: His family has a long military history.
179* NeverMyFault: He tries to deny the blame for the events of ''Arkham City'' claiming that he had no idea about what was really going on, or who Strange's allies actually were. He's telling the truth on that, but the fact he accepted funding from them without question and agreed that Gotham's criminals needed to be punished in such an extreme way, as well as willingly ignored Strange's more morally reprehensible experiments means he is far from blameless. [[spoiler:''Arkham Knight'' reveals that he walked out of the courtroom joyously yelling "I am vindicated!" after his acquittal, and when he finally ''is'' incarcerated, his only thoughts in the narration are of himself and how unfair it all was.]]
180* MeaningfulAppearance: He wears a bowler hat in the ''Arkham City'' prequel comics, mimicking his bald head later in life.
181* PsychicAssistedSuicide: [[spoiler:He hangs himself from a bedsheet in his cell, tying up the loose end of his involvement with the Arkham City project, at the urging of a delayed hypnotic suggestion that Strange planted in his head.]]
182* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:The Spirit Of Arkham messages, for both Amadeus and Sharp.]]
183* SerialKillerKiller: [[spoiler:What he considers himself to be.]]
184* SleazyPolitician: Despite a massive prison takeover and Joker unleashing havoc on Gotham, Warden Sharp's only concern is his upcoming political campaign.
185* TheSociopath: According to Batman, Sharp's conscious persona was originally [[BeneathTheMask just an attempt to conceal the "blank slate" he truly was]], but [[BecomingTheMask has since become something more]].
186* SplitPersonality: [[spoiler:Between Sharp and Amadeus Arkham.]]
187* UltimateAuthorityMayor: In ''Arkham City''.
188* UngratefulBastard: After Batman saves his sorry ass from the inmates in ''Arkham City'', Sharp blamed Batman for all the chaos until Batman interrogated him.
189* UnwittingPawn: Of Hugo Strange.
190** ''Origins'' takes it further: [[spoiler:Extortion tapes for Shiva reveal she gave him the idea to reopen Arkham Asylum. Since ''Origins'' implies she's working for Ra's, Quincy's been a pawn for The Demon's Head for years without ever knowing it.]]
191* VillainHasAPoint: [[spoiler:Listening to the Spirit of Amadeus Arkham can be unsettling as Sharp describes with almost religious fervor his hatred of the inmates and details his cruel treatment and even murder of some of the weaker ones. However, the Spirit of Arkham does give players some interesting moral dilemmas that go to the heart of Batman and the series as a whole: is Batman's crusade even worth it? Are these supervillains redeemable or even curable? All evidence suggest not and yet Batman allows them to live only to torment and kill again. Was Amadeus, and therefore Sharp right?]]
192* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Oracle expresses disbelief that someone like him could pull off the circumstances that started Arkham City legally. [[spoiler:Turns out, he couldn't. He's being unknowingly supported and funded by Ra's Al Ghul and the League of Assassins, who made sure that pesky little things like laws and moral outrage wouldn't be a problem.]]
193* TheVoice: Heard at the end of ''Origins'' on Jack Ryder's talk show about how he plans to reopen Arkham, foreshadowing the previous two games.
194* WalkingSpoiler: Due to a certain revelation regarding him in ''Arkham Asylum''.
195* YouAreWhatYouHate: [[spoiler:He was diagnosed with schizophrenia early in life but he chose to hide it out of fear that it would hurt his political ambitions. Sharp's contempt for the insane was partly out of hatred for his own condition.]]
196* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Strange throws him into Arkham City not long before Protocol 10 starts and encourages the inmates to "welcome" him. When Batman finds him, several of them are already in the process of beating him to a bloody pulp, with intent to kill him once they're done.

199!!Jack Ryder
200[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sans_titre_12.jpg]]
201->'''Voiced By (En):''' Creator/JamesHoran
202->'''Voiced By (It):''' Luca Ghignone
203'''Jack Ryder''' is a prominent Gotham news reporter / radio host, as well as ComicBook/TheCreeper, an insane vigilante. During the events of ''Arkham City'', Ryder becomes trapped in the city after Hugo Strange discovers he is investigating him and has him arrested alongside Bruce Wayne.
204----
205* AdaptationalJerkass: Although Ryder has been depicted as [[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueInternational a rude and abrasive sort]] in the past, his flaws have never been as pronounced as here, or at least not without being a partial feint for his heroic activities.
206* AssholeVictim: Played with. After being rescued by Batman in ''Knight'' he asks what took him so long, only to reveal he was joking; however, the man himself is still very much a {{Jerkass}}.
207* BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite being a jerkass egomaniac, he's still rather sharp. In ''Knight'', he's able to track down an underground cult, and he instantly recognizes that something doesn't add up when Scarecrow kidnaps Barbara Gordon, who in his eyes is just Commissioner Gordon's daughter, not Batman's ally Oracle.
208* ComicBookFantasyCasting: He looks a lot like Creator/StephenColbert, and his role in the prequel comic mimics Colbert's own fictional persona of [[TheWarOnStraw the blustering, hard-line conservative pundit]].
209* DistressedDude: Three times. First, Batman has an opportunity to rescue him from some thugs as part of the ''Acts of Violence'' sidequest. Later, he saves Ryder from Deadshot, and he's later found hiding out in the church. Then, in ''Knight'' Batman has to rescue you him from Deacon Blackfire, who plans to sacrifice him and bathe in his blood.
210* EntitledBastard: When Ryder and Wayne are about to enter Arkham City, Wayne offers advice, which Ryder rejects, saying that Bruce has [[EntertaininglyWrong never been in a fight in his life]] and that it's every man for himself. As soon as the Arkham inmates swarm, he's begging for Bruce to save him.
211* HateSink: By Arkham Knight, he has become a completely unlikeable dick.
212* ItsAllAboutMe: He declares that anyone who was forced to experience the horrors of Arkham City should be released and compensated, leading to ''all'' of the inmates getting as such. When criticized for it, Jack admits that he was talking about himself all along, not anyone else who was locked up in the complex. Furthermore, his comments on the Deacon Blackfire investigation center entirely on his hopes that revealing a mass-murdering cult will get him back in the journalistic spotlight without a single word to indicate that he cares about all the people that Blackfire has killed.
213* {{Jerkass}}: ''Especially'' in Arkham Knight.
214* KentBrockmanNews: Undergoes a very public feud of opinions regarding the construction of Arkham City with Vicki Vale in the prequel comic. (It's not clear whether he's joking or not; some of his dialogue after he's rescued suggests [[SmallNameBigEgo a rather ugly jealousy towards Vicki and a desire to prove himself as the top newscaster in the city]].)
215* MoralMyopia: After Protocol 10, all of the Arkham City inmates were released and given compensation, something that was partially spurred on by Jack. In response to criticism for this, Jack writes an article saying that when he said that anyone who was forced to experience the horror of the prison should be released and compensated, he was talking about him.
216* OhCrap: [[spoiler:After Batman's secret is finally revealed, one of Jack's possible dialogues has him nervously attempt to apologize for all the times he insulted Bruce Wayne in front of Batman... and all the times he insulted Batman in front of Bruce Wayne.]]
217* {{Paparazzi}}: Though he styles himself as an IntrepidReporter, his actions are decidedly mercenary: he publicly and privately antagonizes his co-host Vicki Vale to boost his own profile, he pens [[HerCodeNameWasMarySue a fawning, self-congratulatory account]] of his brush with Deadshot for ''GC'' magazine (actually suggesting he goaded a reluctant Batman into stopping the assassin), and, most tastelessly, even asks Batman for possible access to [[spoiler:the safehouse where Batman saw Oracle die.]]
218* ShooOutTheClowns: Aside from a quick mention in his bio in ''Asylum'' and an interview with Sharp in ''City'', no reference is made to his alter-ego as ComicBook/TheCreeper.
219* SmallNameBigEgo: He's so full of himself that you wonder why he's so popular with people.
220* TookALevelInJerkass / AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: His unbearable nature seems inversely proportional to how much fame he's acquired. In ''Origins'', he's a calm, reasonable talk radio host who tries not to speak over his guests; in ''City'', after holding his newscasting job for several years, he shows severe entitlement issues and a nasty case of jealousy against his co-workers. By ''Knight'', after having gained national publicity for surviving Protocol 10 and bringing a class action suit against the city of Gotham, he's downright slimy, rude, and extremely egotistical, casually making light of the evening's tragedies or musing on how best to spin his image when covering them.
221* UngratefulBastard: PlayedForLaughs. He asks Batman what took him so long, but admits he was just joking. He's mostly concerned over how the rescue story will make him famous rather than grateful for having his life saved.
222* TheVoice: In the first game, as well as ''Origins''.

227->'''Voiced By (En):''' Creator/MauriceLaMarche
228->'''Voiced By (It):''' Antonio Paiola
229An architect that, along with Judge Solomon Wayne, helped build many of Gotham's historic buildings, including Arkham Asylum. He died before turning 40 while working with Henry Cobblepot, whom Cyrus believed was trying to make up for his hotel closing down, becoming Gotham's oldest cold-case. However, Batman finds some interesting plaques at these buildings during the events of ''Origins''...
230----
231* AscendedExtra:
232** Mentioned only by name in ''City'', but becomes the subject of a case file in ''Origins,'' which is a prequel, but also the third game in the series.
233** In the comics, Cyrus Pinkney was an absurdly minor character that only appeared in the flashbacks of two stories. In ''Origins,'' he has a whole case file dedicated to him.
234* CameBackWrong: He was nearly poisoned by [[spoiler:Henry Cobblepot]], was saved by [[spoiler:Amadeus Arkham's special wine putting him in a death-like state]], and then became obsessed with revenge.
235* ContinuityNod: Cyrus notes that Henry's hotel business foreclosed due to competition with Solomon Wayne's own, as mentioned in the Arkham Stories in ''City''.
236* GoneHorriblyRight: In his bio, his architectural style is meant to drive away evil. Considering he built [[CardboardPrison Arkham Asylum]]... Yeah.
237* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:With help of specially drugged wine from his friend Amadeus Arkham in order to avoid the poisoned wine from Henry Cobblepot. Where he went afterwards is a mystery all its own.]]
238* IDidWhatIHadToDo: He wasn't proud of taking money from[[spoiler:, and ultimately murdering,]] Henry Cobblepot, but saw it as necessary to ensure Gotham's growth as a safe, prosperous city.
239* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:He was never found after he killed Henry Cobblepot, which is understandable considering that he was assumed dead.]]
240* PayEvilUntoEvil: [[spoiler:Cyrus's final journal entry reveals that he vowed revenge on Henry Cobblepot after the latter tried to murder him. Alfred checks city records and learns that Henry died in a traffic accident not long after Cyrus' "death".]]
241* PosthumousCharacter: He's long dead by the time ''Batman: Arkham Origins'' begins.
242* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:He only wanted to make Gotham a glorious city, not a symbol of death, and blocked the construction of Henry Cobblepot's munitions factory. In response, Cobblepot tried to kill him. Despite surviving the attempt thanks to Amadeus Arkham, or possibly because of it, he became a killer himself.]]

249->'''Voiced By (It):''' Rosa Leo Servidio
250'''Vicki Vale''' is a reporter who hosts the Vicki Vale Show on Gotham FM, and co-hosts the Gotham Nightliner. She opposes Mayor Sharp's plan for Arkham City.
251----
252* AdaptationDyeJob: The comic-book Vale is traditionally a redhead. This version of her is blond, somewhat like [[Film/Batman1989 Kim Basinger]].
253* AlliterativeName: As always, '''V'''icki '''V'''ale.
254* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: She emerges from a helicopter crash with smudged mascara and ripped tights.
255* CompositeCharacter: She's a TV reporter ala her appearance in ''WesternAnimation/TheBatmanVSDracula'' and she's blond ala [[Film/Batman1989 Kim Basinger]] rather than the redheaded newspaper reporter from the comics.
256* DamselInDistress: In one of the side missions, Batman has to rescue her.
257* DemotedToExtra: She plays a much smaller role in ''Arkham Knight'' and doesn't make a physical appearance until the ending.
258* {{Determinator}}: Nothing will stop her from discovering the truth about Arkham City.
259** ''Arkham Origins'' states that she has a bit of a fixation on Bruce Wayne, determined to get to the bottom of just what he was doing during his absence abroad from Gotham, as well as how he spends his free time now that he's back.
260* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: She's noted as being exceptionally attractive; however, none of these instances have been under acceptable circumstances. The one-half of thugs who don't want to kill her seems to have other ideas in mind.
261* IntrepidReporter: She's noted in Arkham Knight's stories to be one. She started her career as a journalist by exposing corruption in various civic institutions of the city and played a part in busting Quincy Sharp and sending him to jail.
262* KentBrockmanNews: She and [[ComicBook/TheCreeper Jack Ryder]] undergo a very public feud of opinions regarding the construction of Arkham City in the prequel comic. However, Jack is just playing up the role of the hard-line conservative for his own kicks.
263** Also after you save her, she begins a news report on the deplorable conditions in the city.
264* MythologyGag: Her bio in ''City'' lists her weight as 121 lbs.; in ''Film/Batman1989'', she tells Batman she weighs 108, and he later says she weighs "a little more" than that.
265** When you save her after her chopper is shot down, Batman carries her to safety with the Line Launcher, just like he did in the 1989 film.
266* ShipTease: We get to see the reporter side to her character in the majority of her appearances, but there are a few hints to her being closer to Bruce Wayne beyond that ala her comics counterpart. She interacts with him in ''Cold, Cold Heart'' on a more familiar level than elsewhere, and in ''Arkham Knight'' she leaves him a voicemail apologising about a news piece done on him, telling him that she misses him and calling him "[[AffectionateNickname Brucie]]". Bruce also appears to be on a first-name basis with her openly on-camera as he brushes by her during the prologue protest rally.

275A MysteriousWatcher who follows Batman around Arkham City and warns him that dark times are coming.
276----
277* AllThereInTheManual: His backstory is revealed in the Arkhamverse comics.
278* ArrowCatch: Or maybe Batarang Catch. Once you locate him, you can throw a Batarang at him. He snatches it right out of the air. There's even an achievement for doing so.
279* TheAtoner: He became [[spoiler:Azrael after mistakenly shooting the previous Azrael while hunting down a killer.]]
280* BladeBelowTheShoulder: [[spoiler:Jean-Paul Valley's trademark katars are attached to his forearms.]]
281* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Can be seen on a rooftop on the right side as Bruce Wayne is entering Arkham City in the opening.]]
282* CompositeCharacter: Is identified as [[spoiler:Michael Lane]], but he has characteristics familiar with both [[spoiler:his comic book counterpart and Jean Paul Valley, with a combined costume and weaponry, a pledge to serve the Order of St. Dumas like JPV, and a slightly mystical bent. Also like Valley, it's revealed in ''Arkham Knight'' that he too struggles with "The System", a coded language imprinted onto his memories by the Order to twist his will.]]
283* CoolMask: The Suit's helmet sports a ninja-esque one.
284* FlamingSword: [[spoiler:Equipped with one of Jean Paul Valley's katar gauntlets that he uses to disappear.]]
285* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: When he learns of his true intended mission [[spoiler:(slay the Batman and replace him as a merciless KnightTemplar vigilante)]], the player has the option to [[MultipleEndings choose his destiny]]:
286** [[spoiler:'''Kill Batman''' -- Fanatically loyal to the Order at any cost, Azrael, revealed as a true zealot, attempts to strike down Batman, but is subdued and arrested. Locked up at the GCPD, he raves about bringing divine justice upon the city, and that his fight against Batman will only stop with the death of either of them.]]
287** [[spoiler:'''Break the Sword''' -- Disgusted at being made a "tool of Man" rather than the instrument of God, Azrael snaps the sword in two against his gauntlet and vows to devote himself to stopping the Order's blasphemy.]]
288** [[spoiler:'''Leave the Clocktower''' -- A variation of the second ending, you can choose not to grab the sword at all and just leave, which also leads to Azrael vowing to stop the Order.]]
289* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: While Azrael wrestles with the Order's programming to [[spoiler:kill, Batman insistently calls Azrael "Michael". [[MultipleEndings Based on the player's actions, it either succeeds or fails.]]]]
290* InTheHood: Always has his hood up.
291* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler:''Arkham Unhinged'' reveals that he killed the previous Azrael after mistaking him for a killer.]]
292** His Most Wanted mission in ''Knight'' is about wanting to take Batman's spot as protector. Batman decides to humor him on the off-chance that, yes, he'll need someone to keep going. [[spoiler:Turns out the Order ordered Azrael to kill Batman, believing his presence and non-lethal methods perpetuated Gotham's downfall.]]
293* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: The entire premise of his side mission is to spot him watching you in the background.
294* MovesetClone: Plays almost exactly like Batman moveset-wise, but he lacks several of the latter's gadgets and is harder to use as a result.
295* MysteriousWatcher: He's referred to as such for the side mission in ''City''.
296* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:If you succeed in his HeelFaceTurn, he breaks his sword over his gauntlet and roars out incredulously that he was supposed to be an instrument of God, not a tool of Man.]]
297* NamedWeapons: The Sword of Sin. He initially relinquishes it to Batman willingly at the start of his questline in ''Knight'' so as to begin his tests to become Batman's successor, [[spoiler:however, as part of manipulating him, The Voice of The Order later demands that Azrael reclaim the sword and strike down Batman once the truth about The Order is revealed. From there, he can choose to either destroy the sword entirely or leave it in The Clock Tower.]]
298* NoDamageRun: All of his combat challenges require you to go through without taking any hit whatsoever.
299* OminousLatinChanting: His {{Leitmotif}} in both ''City'' and ''Knight'', the latter becoming more ominous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BI0kn-VIM0 here]].
300* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He shows [[SmugSuper an uncharacteristic cockiness]] when completing Batman's AR challenges to prove his worth as a successor. [[spoiler:It's later revealed that his unconscious mind has been brainwashed to usurp and kill Batman, and his hidden programming is surfacing.]]
301* PowerEchoes: [[spoiler:In ''Knight'', after Batman reveals the truth about The Order of St. Dumas to him, The Sword of Sin begins to glow white, emanating a faint misty aura accompanied by several chanting voices. This will stop entirely if the sword is either destroyed or left behind.]]
302* PromotedToPlayable: In ''Arkham Knight''. However, he's [[LampshadeHanging explicitly stated]] as [[AwesomenessByAnalysis utilizing Batman's own combat style to the letter]] when played, so it functions similarly to a Batman skin rather than a character on his own. In an attempt to make his gameplay at least slightly different from Batmans, his challenge map goals are significantly more difficult than Batman's and he lacks several of his gadgets.
303* RealMenLoveJesus: About as pious as you'd expect for a member of an ancient, archaic religious sect.
304* RedIsHeroic: Zigzagged. The overall design of The Suit of Sorrows includes red highlights, [[spoiler:but while he himself bears heroic aspirations, Azrael is being manipulated by a corrupt organization that wants to remove Batman and take over Gotham.]] [[spoiler:Played straight if Azrael rebels against The Order, but not if Azrael chooses to carry out their mission.]]
305* SmokeOut: Pulls these off with frequency using [[spoiler:his trademark katar.]]
306* VaguenessIsComing: Delivers a warning to Batman [[spoiler:about "the Prophecy" that says that Batman will win the day here, but in doing so set up for the future "burning" of Gotham and the Dark Knight himself. Turns out he was talking about the events of ''Arkham Knight''.]]
307* WalkingSpoiler: Due to his SecretIdentity.

314->'''Voiced By (En):''' Creator/CissyJones
315->'''Voiced By (It):''' ???
316'''Nora Fries''' is the wife of Victor Fries, aka Mr. Freeze. She fell ill and had to be put in cryogenic stasis, prompting him to turn to crime to find the funds to cure her. During the Arkham City incident, Hugo Strange takes possession of her capsule and eventually turns her over to Joker.
317----
318* AdaptationDyeJob: This version of Nora is a brunette, not a blonde like in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' and the comics.
319* AndIMustScream: Subverted if her story piece in ''Knight'' is to be believed. Nora is aware of what's going on around her but is at peace with herself and her condition (as it spares her from the Huntington's disease that was killing her), though she is also aware of her husband's obsession and that it is no longer "warm" like the love she remembers. In ''The Season of Infamy'', [[spoiler:a thawed out Nora convinces her husband that she would rather have a happy short life than a long eternity frozen in glass watching her husband go mad from grief.]]
320* DamselInDistress: Despite Freeze having enough power to go against Batman, he seems to completely incapable of keeping Nora in one place, as she's taken from Freeze in both ''City'' and ''Knight''. Much more understandable in ''Origins'', as she was taken before he became Mr. Freeze, and as Victor was still getting used to his new suit Boyle almost managed to kill them both after [[AwesomeButImpractical Victor fell over in his extremely heavy suit]].
321* FaceDeathWithDignity: According to Freeze, she told him there was nothing they could do and that they had to just accept it. She finally convinces him [[spoiler:in the "In from the Cold" mission in ''The Season of Infamy''.]]
322-->'''Nora Fries:''' ''Time never has been on our side, Victor.''
323* HappilyMarried: It goes without saying that Nora loves her husband, Victor just as much as he loves her.
324* HumanPopsicle: She's "on ice". [[spoiler:In ''The Season of Infamy'', Arkham militia thaw her out and we actually see her wake up and talk to Batman. She explains that she hated watching what happened to Victor in his quest to cure her.]]
325* IHaveYourWife: Joker tries to force her husband to work on a cure for his Titan poisoning, whilst keeping her capsule hidden away from Freeze in the Amusement Mile docks.
326** [[spoiler:And the Militia does it again in Knight to force Freeze to deal with Batman. Which he refuses. But this takes Nora out of cryo stasis for so long that she wakes up.]]
327* MoralityPet: To Victor. [[spoiler:In ''Arkham Knight'', she finally convinces him to give up being Mr. Freeze. Even in ''Arkham City'', Batman invokes Nora's memory to stop Victor from going off the deep end.]]
328* NiceGirl: [[spoiler:We finally see Nora as a character in ''Arkham Knight'' and she's a nice, compassionate woman. Mr. Freeze's obsession makes a whole lot sense; no one would want to lose a person like that.]]
329* TheLostLenore: Though not quite dead yet. [[spoiler:Once released from her cryochamber in ''Arkham Knight'', Nora is awake but still on her deathbed with the disease no longer being frozen from harming her. She convinces Victor that she would rather live a brief life of happiness with him than be frozen and watch him become a supervillain.]]

336->'''Voiced By (It):''' Diego Baldoin
337'''Martin Joseph''' is the warden of Blackgate Prison. Despite his lack of ties to any criminal elements, most of his guards are on the payroll of Penguin and Black Mask, and because of a massive rise in prisoners, his prison has fallen into disrepair, leaving him to try and hold it all together.
338----
339* CanonForeigner: Only shows up in the Arkhamverse.
340* DidntThinkThisThrough: It turns out that continuing to make budget cuts on a prison would have horrible consequences. [[spoiler:As a result, there's a prison break at Blackgate ''twice in the same night''. He faces horrible consequences for this from the Joker.]]
341* EyeScream: Had his right eye burned with a cigarette by Black Mask [[spoiler:(or rather, the Joker posing as Black Mask)]].
342* HeelFaceTurn: Not that Joseph was evil to begin with; [[spoiler:during the Joker's second riot at Blackgate]], he joins Gordon and Batman in stopping the Joker after they save his life. The ending has him promising to reform the poor structure of his prison (see TookALevelInBadass).
343* ObliviouslyEvil: Joseph isn't outright malicious or corrupt like most of his colleagues, just a classic middle-management type. His preoccupation with keeping Blackgate's costs down over providing adequate security, however, has left the facility a complete shambles.
344* TookALevelInBadass: By the events of ''Origins: Blackgate'', Joseph has become considerably more brave and competent as warden; when held prisoner by Joker's men, Joseph openly defies them, and when rescued, he refuses to run while his staff are still in danger.
345* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: After Harleen Quinzel insisted that Calendar Man couldn't receive the death penalty, and threatened to expose him for knowingly sending a mentally ill prisoner to the gas chamber, Joseph gave her permission to conduct initial psychiatric evaluations for all incoming prisoners, just to keep her quiet. Then the Joker got sent to Blackgate on Christmas Eve...

352[[caption-width-right:250:''"Hey. We'll change it together, right?"'']]
353'''Ferris Boyle''' is the CEO of Gothcorp, a hugely successful business that is responsible for, among other things, the municipal security system for Gotham seen in ''Arkham Origins''... and a line of very illegal, very dangerous cryo-based weapons. Although he had promised to find a cure for the illness his chief cryotechnician Victor Fries' wife was suffering from, it soon became clear he had little interest in her well-being, and Victor continued the work in secret using company resources. Incensed at the revelation, Boyle had Nora confiscated and personally assaulted Fries, leading to a catastrophic lab accident. Ferris managed to escape unscathed, leaving the rest for dead, and thought the matter settled at last - until Mr. Freeze came calling at Bruce Wayne's private awards reception...
354----
355* AdaptationalJerkass: The original Ferris Boyle from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' was a scumbag for sure, but he was essentially opportunistic and was [[VillainHasAPoint correct that Victor's work wasn't authorized]] and things didn't get out of hand until Victor pulled a gun on him. This Ferris here also has a sadistic streak, as when [[spoiler:he taunts a helpless Victor that he'll kill Nora before he kills him, [[ForcedToWatch just so he can see her slip away]], all the while bashing him over the head with a piece of Victor's suit repeatedly. Furthermore, Victor didn't pull a gun on him; he had his men hold Victor still while he goes about PistolWhipping him. He also personally traps Batman in a Ice Blast and intends to leave him to die to wipe away any remaining witnesses. Plus, the whole mess started because Boyle planned to not even fulfill his side of the bargain with Victor, caring more about how Nora was put into cryostasis than actually trying to cure her.]]
356* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:Although he's very reserved about his deranged tendencies, the fact that he tries to kill Victor while also making him watch while his wife dies, [[LaughingMad laughing about the whole matter while doing so]], shows how much of a warped bastard he is when he allows himself to indulge.]]
357* AgeLift: Ferris Boyle from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' had a white streak at his temples, but otherwise seemed to be in his 40s at most. This version certainly looks and sounds older than that, more akin to a man in his 60s.
358* AssholeVictim: A non-death example. [[spoiler:After making Freeze's life a living hell, nearly killing him, and being a colossal dick to both him and Batman, he gets punched in the face and knocked out for his troubles. "Take a seat... humanitarian."]]
359* BitchInSheepsClothing: While in reality a sociopathic monster who does such things as designing cryo-weaponry and essentially blackmails Freeze into doing so, Boyle keeps it hidden under the mask of a friendly, good-hearted HonestCorporateExecutive; even Batman, the [[GreatDetective world's greatest detective]], is completely fooled by the act, and is absolutely shocked and disgusted to discover his true colors.
360* BrokenPedestal: Bruce looked up to Boyle, considering him a kind-hearted humanitarian. When he discovers Boyle's true nature and his role in Mr. Freeze's StartOfDarkness, Batman, after a moment of genuine shock, quickly recovers and shifts his focus from apprehending Freeze to taking Boyle down, making it clear he's going to make the so-called "humanitarian" '''pay''' for his crimes.
361-->'''Alfred:''' I'm sorry, Master Bruce. I know you had high hopes for what Ferris could do for Gotham.
362* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Not only did he cause Victor's accident, but he also kidnapped Nora, claiming that, as a cryonic test subject, she was now his property.
363* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:Boyle agreed to fund Fries' disease research, but only if he, in turn, continued to work on Gothcorp's cryo-weapons. Fries was directly opposed to the idea and fought with Boyle a number of times over their shared rate of progress.]]
364* DirtyCoward: One second he's begging Mr. Freeze for mercy, claiming what happened to him was an accident, the next he's beating him within an inch of his life with the intention of forcing him to watch Nora die and attempts to kill Batman to assure there aren't any witnesses. All in all, it makes his capture by the hands of Freeze and Batman socking him in the face all too satisfying to watch.
365* HateSink: While Ferris Boyle is an awful person in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', he did have a point that Victor's experiment was unauthorized. [[AdaptationalVillainy This Boyle has no such excuse and is given far worse crimes than his animated counterpart.]] [[spoiler:He makes a deal with Victor that he will help him find a cure for Nora in exchange for him developing cryo-weapons, personally assaults Victor when the latter realizes he has no intention of honoring his bargain and refuses to cooperate with him any further, kidnaps Nora (all the while claiming she's his property as a cryonic test subject), sadistically taunts a helpless Victor about how he will kill Nora in front of him before killing him, [[ForcedToWatch just so he can see her slip away]], all the while bashing him in the head, and [[UngratefulBastard attempts to kill Batman even though the latter saves his life]] just so he can erase all evidence of his crimes.]] Batman punching him unconscious is definitely satisfying as it is well-deserved.
366* IdiotBall: He has one - what happens when you piss off '''both''' Mr. Freeze '''and''' Batman? You get hurt... a '''lot'''.
367* KickTheDog: Taunting Victor about his childhood "turning animals into ice cubes", and [[spoiler:telling him he'll kill Nora and leave him alive long enough to watch while Victor begs him to save her.]]
368* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: While being frozen in an attempt to make him give up the codes for Nora, Ferris calls Victor several slurs against the lower class (such as "pleb"), a nod to his first appearance in WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries where he referred to Victor as a "wage slave".
369* SmugSnake: Only dares to show this side of himself in private, but he's capable of out-smugging even the likes of the Riddler.
370* {{Sadist}}: [[spoiler:When he reveals his true colors, he tries to subject Victor to a slow death while he watches his wife slip away as well. It goes past the point of simple sadism and into [[AxCrazy something else]] entirely.]]
371* TheSociopath: [[spoiler:Used Victor to make him weaponry ''without'' the intention of repaying him for his services.]]
372* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He has good enough PR to not only win the Wayne Foundation Humanitarian Award but convince Bruce himself that he's a good-hearted, upstanding businessman.
373* UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler:Naturally the second Batman saves his life Boyle tries to have him killed in order to eliminate all evidence of his crimes.]]

375[[folder:Carmine Falcone]]
376!!Carmine "The Roman" Falcone
377[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/auromanupdate.png]]
378->'''Voiced by (En):''' Creator/JonPolito
379->'''Voiced By (It):''' ???
380'''Carmine Falcone''' is the most powerful crime boss in Gotham. While he hasn't been seen until ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamUnderworld'', his presence has been felt, as he's the one who turned Harvey Dent into Two-Face and helped Scarecrow in his plans. [[spoiler:Furthermore, he possibly is Catwoman's DisappearedDad.]]
381----
382* AdaptationOriginConnection: In addition to being the one who made Harvey Dent Two-Face in this continuity, the interview tapes for the Joker in ''City'' reveal that he's the power behind the Red Hood Gang, meaning he has ties to the Joker. (Granted, Hugo Strange did come to the (perfectly reasonable) conclusion that Joker was making the whole story up)
383* CompositeCharacter: According to the Two-Face interview tapes in ''City'', he takes the role normally held by Sal Maroni as the one who caused Harvey Dent's disfigurement and transformation into Two-Face. His ties with the Joker may give him a role similar to Carl Grissom[[note]]himself similar to Falcone[[/note]] from ''Film/Batman1989''.
384* TheDon: As is tradition, he is the most powerful crime boss in Gotham.
385* TheGhost: Until ''Arkham Underworld'', he was only mentioned in ''City'' and ''Origins'', and some buildings belonging to Falcone Shipping being in those games and ''Knight''.
386* InkSuitActor: Resembles Jon Polito.
387* TheMafia: He's an Italian-American crime lord.
388* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After Quincy Sharp and Hugo Strange refused to be intimated and with the latter's TYGER guards on the prowl, he decided to move to Bludhaven.
389* SparedByTheAdaptation: Unlike his original pre-''New 52'' comic counterpart, he's alive and well, though hiding out in Bludhaven.

394->'''Voiced By (En):''' Creator/QuintonFlynn
395->'''Voiced By (It):''' Paolo De Santis
396The cowardly son of Carmine "The Roman" Falcone, Alberto is the BlackSheep of the Falcones. He has a history of mental issues and had been seeing Dr. Hugo Strange about his dissociative identity disorder. [[spoiler:He's also the Holiday Killer in secret.]]
397----
398* AccidentalTruth: Though he certainly didn't intend to be so prophetic, he once threatened Black Mask over the phone in his [[spoiler: Holiday Killer]] persona vowing that one day Sionis would face [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty repercussions]] after everything he'd done. Not long after, Sionis' life would be ruined by the Joker.
399* ContinuityNod: His extortion tapes reveal that he's receiving therapy sessions from Hugo Strange.
400* EvilSoundsRaspy: In sharp contrast to Alberto's shrimpy, nasal voice, [[spoiler:his murderous Holiday Killer alter-ego has an even deeper rasp than Black Mask himself.]]
401* SerialKiller: [[spoiler:He's secretly the Holiday Killer/Holiday, a serial killer that targets Gotham's mob bosses and corrupt officials on major holidays.]]
402* SplitPersonality: [[spoiler:There's his regular persona, then there's the Holiday Killer.]]
403* WhiteShirtOfDeath: He's wearing a white shirt splattered with blood from his ColdBloodedTorture at the hands of The Penguin.

405[[folder:Simon Stagg]]
406!!Simon Stagg
407[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/simon_stagg.png]]
408->'''Voiced By (En):''' Creator/PhilProctor
409->'''Voiced By (It):''' Aldo Stella
410'''Simon Stagg''', one of the wealthiest men in the world, made his fortune as an innovating force in the fields of biochemistry and sustainable energy technology. When his Nimbus-cell zeppelins are suddenly hijacked by the Arkham Knight's militia, and he himself taken hostage, Batman must find both him and Barbara Gordon before time runs out.
411----
412* AdaptationalVillainy: At his best [[{{ComicBook/Metamorpho}} in the comics]], Stagg is sort of a LovableRogue in how [[TheScrooge comically arrogant and greedy]] he is; at his worst, he's [[CorruptCorporateExecutive an outright malevolent and scheming old buzzard]], willing to ruin rival businesses or even take out contracts on others to further his own ends. Here, though, [[spoiler:he's an out-and-out death merchant willing to partner with Scarecrow just so he can reap the profits from refined, weaponized fear gas.]]
413* CorruptCorporateExecutive: [[spoiler:Ran numerous illegal arms tradings networks off the books, abducted and tortured a former business partner who threatened his welfare, and independently attempted to weaponize fear toxin as a military application. His various testing logs show he has about as much empathy for his trial subjects as Scarecrow.]]
414* CutLexLuthorACheck: Stagg attempted to invoke this through [[spoiler:his secret partnership with Scarecrow, reasoning he had seen the practical commercial applications of his fear toxin. He quickly realized Crane didn't care about money quite as much as he does.]]
415** [[spoiler:Funnily enough, Stagg falls victim to this from the opposite end, making him far more evil and mercenary than he would be otherwise; Sartorius mentions how Stagg Enterprises was once exclusively dedicated to charitable efforts until it started losing money (or Stagg himself embezzled the funds), then began dealing in shady weapons contracts for the private sector, until they finally did business with anyone who could pay -- which included Scarecrow. Even the Cloudburst, which was originally conceived of as a mass inoculation device, was funded solely because it had the potential for biological agent dispersal.]]
416--->'''[[spoiler:Sartorius:]]''' [[spoiler:We went into business to ''save'' people, but it turns out that ''killing'' them ''paid'' better!]]
417* DidYouJustScamCthulhu: [[spoiler:Not successfully, but he was convinced he could.]]
418* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:When Stagg realizes he's about to be dosed with fear toxin, he begins pleading to try to strike a new bargain with Scarecrow, saying [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney he'll devote his fortune to helping to track Batman down]].]]
419* EvenEvilHasStandards: Subverted. [[spoiler:He betrayed Scarecrow after learning the latter was going to use the Cloudburst to destroy Gotham... [[DirtyCoward Because if Gotham is destroyed,]] [[{{Greed}} he wouldn't be able to profit off the Cloudburst.]]]]
420* HateSink: He's a selfish greedy SmugSnake and a [[DirtyCoward miserable coward]] at that. [[spoiler:Made all the worse by his horrific experiments and [[ArmsDealer selling of bioweapons to terrorists.]]]]
421* HonestJohnsDealership: While most of his (public) business holdings are ostensibly ethical, Stagg himself is, true to form, largely duplicitous and self-serving in his interactions with others. [[spoiler:He's even independently sold arms to both terrorist groups and the Army depending on who'll pay more, which is not only amoral and treasonous, but a violation of international law.]]
422* MetaphoricallyTrue: Tells Batman the Cloudburst is a safe, clean energy source he was developing. [[spoiler:The Nimbus cells are exactly that... but they were developed as a necessary side-project to the Cloudburst itself, which is a chemical weapon delivery system that shorts out other power supplies.]]
423* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: As evidenced by his belief that "I've got so much money, even Batman won't be able to stop us!" [[spoiler:He was also convinced that his fortune could save his own hide from Scarecrow's wrath, unaware of Crane's allegiance with the Arkham Knight's militia. Before the Knightfall protocol begins, he even tells Batman that he's going to start buying up Wayne Enterprises' falling stock to turn a profit, just because he can.]]
424* SmugSnake: [[spoiler:Not only did he try to lie to Batman when the evidence of his complicity was scattered across his airships, but Stagg was mistakenly convinced he could manage to cut Scarecrow out of the deal and dispose of him when things started going awry. Even when he's finally arrested and locked up at the GCPD, he indignantly berates Batman for it; Batman responds that Stagg's "more deluded" than he'd imagined.]]
425** After [[spoiler:Bruce's identity is exposed, Stagg rubs it in that Batman has destroyed the Wayne family's legacy, and even gloats that when he gets out, he might have enough money remaining to buy out Wayne's businesses.]]
426* TheSociopath: [[spoiler:An unscrupulous death-merchant who works with Scarecrow willingly and expresses no sympathy for the fear-gas test subjects. Even describing one of the subjects' truly horrifying reactions as "not good enough".]]
427* StealingTheCredit: Makes himself out to be a medicinal miracle worker, but [[spoiler:his former business partner, Alex Sartorius, says in his confession tapes that the majority of the scientific work, including the Cloudburst, was designed by him, with Stagg merely handling the finances. Even with Stagg taking a greater part in refining the fear toxin and conducting clinical trials, his own research notes still give him sole credit over his staff.]]
428[[/folder]]
429[[folder:Alex Sartorius]]
430!!Alex Sartorius
431'''Alex Sartorius''' is the former business partner of Simon Stagg, a scientist who didn't want the limelight and so allowed Stagg to take all the credit and fame for his research. His character is expanded on in Stagg's audio files and a Gotham City Story.
432----
433* AdaptationalHeroism: In the comics, Sartorious is the villainous Dr. Phosphorous who's actually fought with Batman on occasion. Here he's a scientist who joined up with Stagg with the hope of doing good for the world (creating medicines, easing the distribution of cures, etc.). Even after [[spoiler:allowing Stagg to experiment on human beings]] he eventually seeks to make up for it by exposing his crimes.
434* TheAtoner: Defied. He claims that he's not looking to be forgiven by making his confession tapes, but really just expose Stagg for [[CorruptCorporateExecutive what he truly is]].
435* LaserGuidedKarma: He turned a blind eye to Stagg [[spoiler:using human subjects in his experiments]] for a long time, and, in the end, [[spoiler:becomes one of the subjects himself.]]
436* HeelRealization: Originally he put up with [[spoiler:Stagg selling weapons to the military and terrorists, as well as experimenting on human subjects]], because he believed they were doing more good than harm. [[spoiler:Seeing Stagg sign on with Scarecrow made him rethink his position.]]
437* MoodSwinger: His anti-anxiety medication starts causing this in the second tape when he mixes it with whiskey, going from jovial to enraged and back again.
438* MythologyGag: In his "Gotham City Story", [[spoiler:he develops a fear of fire and imagines himself as being enveloped by flames after he is used as a fear toxin test subject.]] In the comics, he becomes the fiery villain Doctor Phosphorus.
439* NotWhatISignedOnFor: He joined up with Stagg to form a pharmaceutical company for curing disease and making the world a better place. [[spoiler:He defects and makes his confession tapes when he realizes that they've turned the Cloudburst—a device he designed for mass inoculation—into a dispersal unit for fear toxin.]]
440* PosthumousCharacter: He's already dead by the time his tapes are found, [[spoiler:one of the human testing victims in Stagg's fear toxin experiments.]]

445->'''Voiced by (En):''' Creator/JBBlanc
446->'''Voiced By (It):''' ???
447'''Chief Raymond Underhill''' is the Fire Chief of Station 17. He and his men were ambushed and taken hostage throughout Gotham during the Halloween Scarecrow attacked Gotham with the Arkham Knight's forces.
448----
449* AFatherToHisMen: He tries to look out for his men. [[spoiler:Even if his means to do so are criminal and ultimately bite him in the ass.]]
450* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler:Several of his men aren't happy with what he did and would rather have been laid off than have Underhill be in league with Firefly to help them keep their job.]]
451* FirefighterArsonist: [[spoiler:In a desperate act to save the jobs of his men, he became one of these indirectly by hiring Firefly to burn down abandoned buildings throughout the city.]]
452* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler:Cites this as his reason when Batman confronts him about using Firefly, trying to keep his men from being laid off. However, if you talk to some of them, they'd rather have been jobless than have their boss do what he did. Even Underhill himself realizes how flawed said-reason is.]]
453* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Realizes that his using Firefly is what ultimately led to his men being captured and attacked.]]
454* WalkingSpoiler: As can be noted above from a good chunk of his entry being whited-out. [[spoiler:Regardless of his intentions, the events of "The Line of Duty" (and possibly in part "Gotham on Fire" as he was working with Firefly) are his fault.]]
455[[/folder]]
456[[folder:Judge Solomon Wayne]]
457'''Solomon Wayne''' was an ancestor of Bruce Wayne's who, with the help of architect Cyrus Pinkney, built Gotham City's larger buildings. He built a hotel that rivaled Henry Cobblepot's, causing him financial trouble.
458----
459* PosthumousCharacter: Considering the fact that he seemed to live in Gotham during what was probably the 1800s, it's pretty obvious he's long dead.
460* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His hotel's success caused Henry Cobblepot to lose money on his own hotel. This lead Henry to resort to less-savoury tactics to regain his lost money.
461[[/folder]]
462[[folder:Henry Cobblepot]]
463'''Henry Cobblepot''' is an ancestor of Oswald Cobblepot's who also built some of Gotham City's most important buildings (albeit to benefit himself). It is strongly hinted that he was behind Cyrus Pinkney's mysterious death and disappearance.
464----
465* PosthumousCharacter: Having been alive in what was probably the nineteenth century, it's safe to say that he's long dead. [[spoiler:It's then revealed that he was killed by Cyrus Pinkney.]]

471->'''Voiced by (En)''': Creator/DeeBradleyBaker
472->'''Voiced By (It):''' ???
473The corrupt warden of Iron Heights Penitentiary. He appears in ''Arkham Knight,'' in the Season of Infamy DLC mission "Beneath the Surface".
474----
475* CanonForeigner: Much like Sharp and Joseph, he's created for the games.
476* ColdBloodedTorture: His experiments on Killer Croc amount to this; he went so far as to ''slice Croc's arm off with a buzzsaw'' just to see if it would grow back.
477* EvilutionaryBiologist: The point of his brutal experiments on Croc was to find a way to weaponize [[BodyHorror Croc's condition]] to create {{Super Soldier}}s.
478* HateSink: An abusive and monstrously unrepentant warden who tortures and experiments on his prisoners, making Killer Croc look more sympathetic by comparison.
479* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He conducted brutal experiments on Croc with the intent to weaponize his condition. The resulting [[AdaptiveAbility adaptation]] to the trauma soon turned Croc into something far too powerful for Ranken to contain.
480* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Batman finds his experiments on Croc and the other Iron Heights inmates so heinous that, after defeating Croc, he outright tells Ranken that ''he's'' the only monster there.
481* WardensAreEvil: Batman considers him worse than any of the inmates.
