Legs
Legs is homeless Vietnam veteran and resident of the streets of Gotham City who appeared a supporting character in various Batman-related comics during the 80s and 90s. Co-created by writers John Wagner and Alan Grant, and artist Norm Breyfogle, he first appeared in Detective Comics #587 (June 1988).{{Cite comic | Writer = Wagner, John | Cowriters = Grant, Alan | Artist = Breyfogle, Norm | Colorist = Roy, Adrienne | Letterer = Klein, Todd | editor=O'Neil, Dennis| Story = Night People| Title = Detective Comics | Volume = | Issue = #587 | Date = 1988 | Publisher = DC Comics| Page = | Panel = | ID = }} Holding strong views, the character is described as being prone to frustration, anger, and alcoholism, and frequently argues with other homeless men. Legs is ironically named for his missing limbs, which he is described as having lost due to an anti-personnel mine explosion in the Vietnam War in Detective Comics #608 (November 1989).{{Cite comic | Writer = Alan Grant | Penciller = Norm Breyfogle | Inker = Steve Mitchell | Story = Anarky in Gotham City, Part 1: Letters to the Editor | Title = Detective Comics | Volume = | Issue = #608 | Date = November 1, 1989| Publisher = DC Comics | Page = | Panel = | ID = }} Crippled and unable to afford a wheelchair, he is shown to move about in a wheeled tray.
Legs was created during Detective Comics debut of Wagner and Grant, co-writers established for their work on Judge Dredd comics for 2000 AD. However, due to poor sales of their comics within months of their debut, which left both men questioning the viability of their new jobs, Wagner soon left the project alone to Grant. Concerned that he would be fired if his editors learned the writing team had split, Grant alerted no one to the change, and decided to continue writing stories in the pattern of the first for the duration of his original contract.{{cite web |url = http://www.adelaidecomicsandbooks.com/granbrey.htm |title = Alan Grant & Norm Breyfogle |access-date = 2007-05-18 |last = Best |first = Daniel |date= 2007-01-06 |work = Adelaide Comics and Books| publisher =ACAB Publishing|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070427174515/http://www.adelaidecomicsandbooks.com/granbrey.htm |archive-date=2007-04-27}} Now a regular writer for Detective Comics and other Batman-related titles during this time period, Grant made frequent use of Legs as an ally for the anarchist themed character, Anarky. Legs is shown to be loyal to Anarky as a vigilante, who in turn employs Legs and other homeless men to act as diversions or spies against Batman.{{Cite comic | Writer =Grant, Alan | Penciller =Johnson, Staz | Inker =Smith, Cam | Story = Anarky: Tomorrow Belongs to Us | Title = The Batman Chronicles | Volume = | Issue = #1 | Date = Summer 1995| Publisher = DC Comics | location=New York City, NY | Page = | Panel = | ID = }}{{Cite comic | Writer = Alan Grant | Penciller = Norm Breyfogle | Inker = Josef Rubinstein | Story = Metamorphosis Part 1: Does a Dog Have a Buddha Nature? | Title = Anarky | Volume = | Issue = #1 | Date = May 1, 1997| Publisher = DC Comics | Page = | Panel = | ID = }};

Lock-Up
Lock-Up is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.
=''Batman: The Animated Series''=
Before appearing in the comics, Lock-Up debuted in a self-titled episode of Batman: The Animated Series, voiced by Bruce Weitz.{{cite web |title=Lock-Up Voices (Batman) |url=https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/characters/Batman/Lock-Up/ |access-date=October 24, 2024 |publisher=Behind The Voice Actors}} A green check mark indicates that a role has been confirmed using a screenshot (or collage of screenshots) of a title's list of voice actors and their respective characters found in its credits or other reliable sources of information. Lyle Bolton is a security guard at Arkham Asylum who uses intimidation, excessive force, and even torture to keep inmates in line. He eventually becomes the vigilante Lock-Up in an attempt to bring peace to Gotham before Batman stops him.
=History in the comics=
Lock-Up's first comic appearance was in Robin (vol. 2) #24 (January 1996) in which he captured Charaxes. He subsequently appeared in Detective Comics #694 (February 96) in which he captured the minor villain Allergent.{{cite book |last1=Greenberger |first1=Robert |title=The Essential Batman Encyclopedia |date=2008 |publisher=Del Rey |isbn=9780345501066 |page=234}} In both of these stories, he only made a brief appearance at the end, removing the villain before Batman and Robin could return to the scene.
His first full appearance was in Detective Comics #697-699 (June–August 1996), which began with him capturing Two-Face and taking him to his private prison alongside Charaxes, Allergent, and several gangsters. He is stopped by the police while targeting a criminal-turned-state's evidence and is revealed to be Lyle Bolton, previously discharged from the police academy for being too gung-ho, and dismissed from several security jobs (unlike the animated version, he had not worked at Arkham). Lock-Up escapes, and captures minor street criminal Alvin Draper (actually Tim Drake's undercover identity).
When Nightwing finds his hideout, Lock-Up drowns all his prisoners in an underwater death-trap. Batman intervenes and defeats Lock-Up, saving the villains, Nightwing, and Robin.
Lock-Up later appeared during the No Man's Land storyline, having taken control of Blackgate Penitentiary in the aftermath of the earthquake. He had enlisted KGBeast and the Trigger Twins to act as wardens for his prison, and rules with an iron fist; Batman only tolerates his presence because he requires Lock-Up to keep captured criminals in check to prevent Gotham being overrun, although Lock-Up is under strict orders to treat the prisoners well. Towards the end of the storyline, Batman enlists Dick Grayson's help in overthrowing Lock-Up so Blackgate could be used for the lawful side once again.Nightwing (vol. 2) #35 (September 1999).
