Gang of Hats: Gotham's rogues are fond of dressing up hired thugs under their command with "official" uniforms as a symbol of their loyalty.Freudian Excuse: Almost all of them have some sort of reason they became villains, usually some sort of untreated mental illness, Abusive Parents, and/or traumatic incident(s) that turned them into the people they are, such as The Joker's "One Bad Day".All of them were shocked when a new inmate killed Ingrid and just for that, Grundy took the man's head off.

In Batman: Arkham Asylum, the Joker even manages to use the asylum as an evil lair.
