The political root word inThe Batmanare poignant and play up the city ’s need for a vigilance man seeking real DoJ like Batman . The villain Riddlerposes a difference that proves there is a dispute between retribution and justice . The episode " Lock - Up " inBatman : The Animated Showcommunicates a similar message which solidifies Lyle Bolton might be the best primed forThe Batman   2,even if his graphic symbol would just be enliven by the Riddler ’s burgeoning bequest . If Reeves wishes to sting to themes about government putrescence , let in a type like Bolton may not only be a unique callback to the animated serial but relevant to secular fight . Lock - Up ’s motivations are different than Riddler ’s because he started off as a source of corruption in the arrangement he finally turns on , give abusedinmates like Harley Quinnwho were attempting to reform . The sequel could expand upon Lock - Up ’s warped construct of denigration since tidings channels are more polarizing than ever in today ’s political sympathies . In hisBTASepisode , Lock - Up feels persecute by Gotham ’s news channels and ignores his own malicious intention when mold for Arkham Asylum .

Lock - Up and Riddler share   the similarity of looking up to Batman because they ab initio believe he is on their side due to Batman ’s as cant over code of ethics . Both the animated series episode andThe Batmanprove the difference between Batman ’s vigilantism and what Riddler and curl - up believe to be vigilantism . The fact that the villains ' motivation are so eerily similar work against the opening of Lock - Up turning up inThe Batmansequel because Reeveswill probably set about to avoid repeat . As stated , however , Lock - Up would be a fun Easter egg even if he appears briefly as a possible follower of Riddler . There has been no live - action delineation of Lock - Up inBatmanmedia , so an show would be an inventive tress .
