Lion is a name used by several characters in the DC Universe.

In the New 52, the Lion was Rex Calabrese, a mob boss who dominated Gotham City's underworld decades ago. Rex was also Catwoman's father and James Gordon's cellmate in Blackgate Penitentiary. His scarred face and use of fake razor sharp fangs earned him the alias Lion. After the DC Rebirth reboot, Catwoman's father was renamed as Brian Kyle. Another character called Lion is Gary Kaleho, a member of the Aquamarines.

In the Modern Age, the Lion was professional criminal and a member of the Wonderland Gang named Lewis Yarnell.

Lewis Yarnell was created by Paul Dini, first appearing in Detective Comics #841 (2008). Rex Calabrese was created by James Tynion IV, Scott Snyder, Ray Fawkes, John Layman, and Tim Seeley, first appearing in Batman Eternal #14 (2014).
