Michael Lane (Earth-78)

"We are cops, Jean. We fucking save people, we don't leave them to rot, no matter the odds. It's our nature... our duty. It's what we are."

- - Detective Michael Lane to Detective Jean DeWolff

Detective Michael "Mike" Lane was a police officer of the City of London Police, partner and friend of Detective David Zavimbe. Following the disappearance of David, James Howlett and Claire Howlett, Michael made his sworn duty to find the Joker, only to be used in more of his mental games. Having to constantly find other victims and chose to save or leave them to die, Lane ultimately found both David and Detective Frank Simpson in a last trap by Joker, only to be foiled by Simpson, who revealed himself to be the Joker's follower, leaving him to die by a gunshot.
