Lawrence

Lawrence was one of the Joker's many henchmen.

History
Lawrence was a bald man with an handlebar moustache who worked for the Joker alongside his partner, Bob the Goon. This man carried the Joker's boombox as they defaced much of the artwork at the Flugelheim Museum (playing Party Man by Prince). He is usually seen wherever the Joker is, including going to Vicki Vale`s apartment (during this instance, he plays more romantic music). He was waiting for the Joker at the top of the Gotham Cathedral. He later crashed through the floorboards while trying to ambush Batman, and died falling into the depths of Gotham Cathedral.

Other Appearances
Lawrence appears in the 1989 Mega Drive/Genesis game, Batman (based on the film of the same name). In this game, he is encountered as a boss in the third stage (taking place at the Flugelheim Museum), which Batman must fight, while the Joker and Vicki Vale watch from a balcony. He appears mainly the same, complete with his boombox (which he uses as a weapon), however, instead of the standard Joker jacket, he is wearing white muscle shirt.

The 1990 video game adaption of the same film for the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 also features Lawrence. He is a boss in the final level at the Cathedral, the second after the Martial Artist Joker Goon, who is trying to stop Batman from reaching the Joker, like in the film. Lawrence will attack Batman by twirling a hammer over his head once the Martian Artist Joker Goon is defeated (who will fall through the floor, leaving a hole). Upon being hit, he will be knocked back, and he will be defeated once he is pushed into the hole that the Martial Artist Joker Goon made (also like his death in the movie). His appearance is faithful to his film counterpart, however, he is using an Olympic-style hammer as a weapon.
