Lauren

**Lauren** was a woman who the Joker recruited along with Frank Dumfree and Willy Deever after the Agency tried to have him killed on the Gotham Bridge.

Depending on whether or not the Joker becomes a vigilante or a villain, Lauren can either be a well-intentioned extremist willing to use violent measures against crime and corruption, or a ruthless criminal who takes extreme pleasure in brutally murdering people.

## Biography

Sometime after the Joker jumped from the Gotham Bridge he met Lauren and along with Frank Dumfree and Willy Deever, would form his own gang to take down the Agency.

Lauren was first seen at the Riddler's water tower which had been taken over by the Joker as a temporary base of operations. After the Agency arrives to capture the Joker, she, along with Frank and Willy are interrogated by Roger Harrison and his men.

Despite their threats of using lethal force against them, Lauren remains unshaken and instead takes the opportunity to threaten him. Before the situation can spiral out of control, Batman arrives to prevent Harrison and his squad from murdering the three. The Joker soon makes his appearance, and together he and Batman work together to take down Harrison and his men.

After Bane arrives on the scene, Lauren obeys the Joker, who orders her and the others to run.

Lauren wasn't seen again until near the end of the episode when Batman goes to Ace Chemicals to try and rescue Amanda Waller from the Joker who had snapped and kidnapped her earlier. Lauren can be seen along with the other two standing on a platform keeping guard as Joker is trying to get Waller to confess to her numerous crimes against humanity.

Despite being present in the scene, Lauren did not participate in the fight with Batman and it's unknown what happened to her as she wasn't seen after the fight. It's possible that Lauren realized she stood little chance against the Batman and instead decided to flee or that she was defeated by Tiffany.

She was presumably rounded up and taken into custody along with the rest of the Joker's Gang after Batman defeated him.

## Personality

Lauren shows an extreme hatred towards fascist organizations such as the Agency, believing them to be just as bad as the people they claim to fight against and makes no secret of her feelings towards them when faced with Roger Harrison and his group.

She speaks in a cold, rough tone of voice and has a very sharp tongue referring to Harrison and the rest of the Agency as pigs. Lauren is also shown to have a nasty temper when she feels she has been personally slighted as shown when she spat at the downed Harrison out of contempt.

She is implied to be very fanatical in her beliefs as she showed no visible signs of fear when she was being held at gunpoint and instead chose to threaten Harrison and claiming that he and the rest of the Agency would pay for what they've done to Gotham City.

Later, after the Joker kidnapped Waller, Lauren was seen at Ace Chemicals along with the rest of the Joker's gang showing that she was perfectly willing to use unsavory methods such as torture and murder to accomplish what needs to be done (ironically making herself very similar to Roger Harrison).

Despite this apparent fearlessness, she showed no hesitation in running when ordered to by the Joker after Bane was brought in to take him and the Batman out, likely realizing that there was very little that she could do to help in the situation.

## Trivia

* If one doesn't count Harley Quinn in the villain route, then Lauren was the only known female member of the Joker's Gang.
