'''Dr. Death:''' [[FlatWhat Was?]]\\

'''Dr. Death:''' [[BigWhat Was?]]\\
'''Jeremiah Arkham:''' You always do this! [[NostalgiaFilter You always go on about the old days, how you terrorized the entire city, and how you're a much better criminal than all the other lunatics in this place]]! Well, I've got news for you, Karl: ''no one cares!'' No one cares about you! ''[[ForgettableCharacter No one even remembers you!]]'' The Joker, The Riddler, Two-Face... everyone knows of them, but Dr. Death? More like Franchise/DoctorWho! [[WhiteDwarfStarlet Get over yourself, Karl! You're a loser, a has-been]]! Sure, you terrorized the entire city... ''eight years ago!'' I doubt even Batman remembers you now!\\
'''Dr. Death:''' Now, wait a minute...\\

'''Dr. Death:''' [[LameComeback I thought you were here to help me, not insult me!]]\\

'''Dr. Death:''' I tried many times, but...\\

'''Dr. Death:''' That is ridiculous! Vhy vould I be afraid?\\
'''Jeremiah Arkham:''' I think you're afraid that everything I just said will turn out to be true! You'll turn out to be a generic mad scientist has-been, not enough to cut it in today's Gotham! I think you're afraid that once on the outside, you'll finally realize once and for all that you really are nothing compared to the other super villains! You're afraid that you'll be no match at all for the Batman! You're afraid he'll just laugh in your face!

* SuperheroParadox: This is the reason why Hugo Strange has Batman locked up because he believes that Batman makes more criminals come out of the woodworks.

'''Jeremiah Arkham:''' I mean, look at you! What are you compared to them? They have longevity. They're all unique, each with their own iconic gimmicks and personalities. And you... You're a generic MadScientist! You're dime-a-dozen! You even have [[HerrDoktor the stereotypical German accent!]] What a joke! \\

!!Tropes shown in this work:

* AmbiguouslyEvil: Jeremiah Arkham appears to wish to help his patients. However both Black Mask and Scarecrow think he is no different than them, and he also uses electroshock therapy against Riddler. His comicbook counterpart is a straight up villain who even becomes the second Black Mask.

* BookEnds: The first episode of series 1 starts with Jeremiah analyzing Scarecrow. The last episode [[spoiler: has Scarecrow analyzing Jeremiah.]]

* LethalJokeCharacter: Dr. Death is treated with less respect than Polka-Dot Man, but he ends up [[spoiler:freeing all the patients of Arkham]]
