Line 668:
 
* [[Animal Stereotypes]]: His manner, name, and design are meant to invoke the [[Big Badass Wolf]] trope.
* [[Badass]]: Everything about his personality & design is meant to evoke badassery.
* [[Badass]]:* Remember how Franziska wouldn't whip Godot because of his massive aura of badassery? Well, {{spoiler|she ''tries'' to whip Lang, but he catches it in mid-lash}}! And that's only one of his feats.
** Later on, she tries again while he's still laughing and {{spoiler|succeeds}}.
* [[Batman Gambit]]: {{spoiler|In order to begin to attack Ambassador Alba, he directly accused Franziska von Karma of murder to continue the investigation.}}
Line 677 ⟶ 678:
* [[Cool Shades]]: Way too cool for words. Just how do they even stay on his face?
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: In the Japanese version, he refers to Franziska as ''anesan'' - older sister. Normally one would use ''oneesan''. ''Anesan'' is typically used by Yakuza henchmen to refer to their boss's mistress.
* [[A Father to His Men]]: His men are utterly loyal to him, and for good reason.
* [[A Father to His Men]]: And ''how''!* One of the [[Crowning Moment of Funny|most hilarious scene]]s in ''Investigations'' even plays around with the trope: Lang calls out one of his men and gives him a birthday present, causing the others to compliment him for being such an awesome boss... Then the first one [[Subverted Trope|says it was not his birthday]]. The silence lasts a single second before Lang retorts with: "Hmph... The present's [[Double Subversion|not for you]]. It's for your younger brother's ''[[Crazy Prepared|wife's younger brother]]''! Give this and tell him I said "Hi"!", at which his men cry [[Manly Tears]].
** A far less humourous (but certainly more awesome) example is where {{spoiler|he [[Taking the Bullet|takes Detective Badd's bullet for Shih-na]]}} even after knowing full well that {{spoiler|she was [[The Mole]]}}, his reasoning being that {{spoiler|she}} was still {{spoiler|his subordinate}}, and he was still beholden to protect {{spoiler|her}} from harm. And then he arrests {{spoiler|her and leads her off}}.
** [[Establishing Character Moment|In one of his first scenes]], one of the other officers is having his men count off in number order but he stops the guy. All of his men are number one in his book. Turns into a [[Brick Joke]] later on.
* [[Good Versus Good]]: The rivalry between him and Edgeworth is moreso a matter of misunderstandings, distrust and having a different approach to things. Ultimately they're both looking to do the right thing, {{spoiler|and they end up working together near the end.}}
* [[Hero Antagonist]]: Though he butts heads with Edgeworth (controlled by the player), he doesn't have ill intent and is only striving for justice.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[Inspector Lestrade]] / [[Inspector Javert]]: Depending on the situation.
