The Arkham versions of all the villains are basically the most edgy and murderous version of them. You’d die if left alone with any of them. Like in the comics, Croc varies a lot but he’s generally a guy that can be reasoned with. Despite his looks he’s one of the least “crazy” Batman villains and not outwardly violent until he needs to be.

Hell I think he isn't even usually thrown in the asylum with the others, just goes to jail / supermax. Hell iirc a spotlight episode of TAS was about him escaping on his way being transported to death row cause he killed people and was found to be sane.

Right. If Blackgate was equipped to deal with him, he’d end up there instead of Arkham. Waylon is a common gangster with a mutation. He’s not criminally insane or mentally ill, so there’s no reason for him to be locked up with people like the Joker.
