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.<ref name="Alan Grant & Norm Breyfogle">{{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}}</ref> 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.

Lesla-Lar is a Kryptonian scientist from the shrunken city of Kandor. Jealous of Supergirl's fame and life, Lesla-Lar invents a device that causes Supergirl to lose her powers and takes the role of Supergirl for herself. She is able to convince Superman that she is Supergirl, and secretly meets with Lex Luthor to convince him to kill Superman. However, Krypto realizes that Lesla-Lar is an imposter and manages to send her back to Kandor.<ref>''Action Comics'' #281 (October 1961)</ref>
Lesla-Lar returns in ''Action Comics'' #297 (1963), where she releases Kryptonian criminals Dru-Zod, Jax-Ur, and Kru-El from the Phantom Zone and enlists their help to recover a cache of Kryptonian weapons.

Lesla-Lar's final appearance in pre-''Crisis'' continuity is in ''The Superman Family'' #206 (1981). After her body was disintegrated by Kru-El, her intelligence survived in a disembodied state.

Lesla-Lar is reintroduced in the 2025 series ''Supergirl'', where her jealousy of Supergirl is left unaltered. She invents a device that teleports herself and her Kryptonian rabbit Kandy out of Kandor and enlarges them to normal size. Having gained superpowers from Earth's yellow sun, Lesla-Lar intends to replace Supergirl as the hero of Midvale and hypnotizes her foster parents, Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers, into believing that she is Supergirl. Following a series of battles with Supergirl, Lesla-Lar reconciles with her and joins her in heroism, taking the name Luminary.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Darcy |first=Diane |date=August 13, 2025 |title='Supergirl' #4 perfectly captures the Girl of Steel's heart |url=https://aiptcomics.com/2025/08/13/supergirl-4-review/ |access-date=November 14, 2025 |website=AIPT |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Darcy |first=Diane |date=September 10, 2025 |title='Supergirl' #5 is a super-cute Super-pets adventure |url=https://aiptcomics.com/2025/09/10/supergirl-5-review/ |access-date=November 14, 2025 |website=AIPT |language=en-US}}</ref>

==Lion-Mane== '''Lion-Mane''' is the name of four characters in DC Comics.
===Lion-Mane=== The first Lion-Mane originates from Earth-Two. He is a human with feline features and heightened strength. Lion-Mane is initially a henchman of Catwoman, who later betrays him.<ref>''Wonder Woman'' #278 (April 1981)</ref><ref>''Wonder Woman'' #279 (May 1981)</ref>
===Ed Dawson=== The second Lion-Mane is '''Ed Dawson''', an archaeologist who transforms into a feral were-lion after touching a mystical meteor called Mithra. After learning that the meteor's effects will eventually kill him, Dawson seeks other meteor pieces to increase his power and keep himself alive. Dawson eventually gains enough power to remotely transform others into lion-men like himself.
The character was initially removed from continuity post-Crisis/''Hawkworld'', but reappeared years later in the Hawkman ongoing series starring the Golden Age Hawkman and the modern Hawkgirl (Kendra Saunders). In this incarnation, Ed Dawson was an archaeologist looking for the Mithra stone with Karen Ramis. Dawson and Ramis each absorb half of the stone's power and transform into separate Lion-Manes.
Some months later, Fadeaway Man approached Ed Dawson and invited him into Alexander Luthor Jr.'s Secret Society of Super Villains.<ref>''Hawkman'' (vol. 4) #37 (April 2005)</ref>
===Karen Ramis=== The third Lion-Mane, introduced post-''Zero Hour'', is '''Karen Ramis''', a scientist who was similarly transformed by the meteor. Hawkman convinces Ramis to give up her power, which leaves to seek another host.<ref>''Hawkman'' (vol. 3) #24 (September 1995)</ref> However, Ramis is left desperate to regain her power. She eventually succeeds, becoming Lion-Mane again.<ref>''Hawkman'' (vol. 3) #25 (October 1995)</ref>
===Fourth Lion-Mane=== A fourth, unidentified Lion-Mane appears in The New 52. This version resembles a lion-centaur hybrid and is a member of the Secret Society of Super Villains. Lion-Mane ruled over the Marubunta Diamond Mines in Africa. When Batwing came to Africa to shut down the Marubunta Diamond Mines, Lion-Mane was confident that his three wives could beat him. When Lion-Mane's three wives were defeated, Lion-Mane confronted Batwing himself.<ref>''Batwing'' #20</ref>
During the ''Forever Evil'' storyline, Lion-Mane is among the villains recruited by the Crime Syndicate of America to join their Secret Society of Super Villains.<ref>''Batwing'' #20</ref>

===''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.<ref name="Lock-Up voices">{{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.</ref> '''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.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Greenberger |first1=Robert |title=The Essential Batman Encyclopedia |date=2008 |publisher=Del Rey |isbn=9780345501066 |page=234}}</ref> 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.<ref>''Nightwing'' (vol. 2) #35 (September 1999)</ref><ref>''Nightwing'' (vol. 2) #36 (October 1999)</ref><ref>''Nightwing'' (vol. 2) #37 (November 1999)</ref>
Lock-Up makes a brief appearance in ''Villains United: Infinite Crisis Special'', where the Society recruits him to orchestrate prison breaks worldwide.<ref>''Infinite Crisis Special: Villains United'' (June 2006)</ref>
Lock-Up later allies with Ventriloquist, alongside other Gotham criminals Killer Moth and Firefly. During this association, Lock-Up is wounded by Metropolis outfits Intergang and the 100. After recovering, he is sent to another planet in ''Salvation Run''.<ref>''Salvation Run'' #3</ref>
===Lock-Up in other media=== * Lock-Up appears in the Arrowverse tie-in comic ''Arrow 2.5''. This version is a member of the Renegades, a Blüdhaven mercenary unit.<ref>''Arrow Season 2.5'' #6-7</ref> * Lyle Bolton appears as a boss in ''Batman: Arkham Shadow'', voiced by Earl Baylon.<ref name="Lock-Up voices" /> This version works for the TYGER Security private military firm and serves as head of security at Blackgate Prison, where he and the other guards are known to regularly abuse and beat the inmates. Bolton used to greatly admire Batman for his fearsome reputation, but became disillusioned and disappointed when Batman opposed his tyrannical methods, shattering all respect Bolton had for Batman. In the epilogue of the game, Bolton is arrested and charged for assisting the Rat King and his abuse of the prisoners.
