Continuing on the note that Sonic is like Batman
Lanolin is like Ellen Yindel from the Dark Knight Returns
By-the-book cop, new commisioner of Gotham Police
Her first act for example is to arrest Batman
And of course she fails, not realising Batman's too big and he's the only force that can bring order to Gotham

But where Ellen works because she's the main representative of Anti-Batman's side of the media's debate and she can just show up out of nowhere because of the convention of the comic
Lanolin represents no one really
No one wants Sonic to stop saving lives especially when he does that without torturing anyone
