Line 30:
* [[Crapsack World]]: Usually true in a Batman story, but much ''much'' more so here.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Attempted (maybe parodied?) throughout the series, though the worst has to be the scowling, humorless hitman now claiming he's people have sarcastically nicknamed him the Joker.

* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: [[Signature Style|Very often throughout the text. Again and again. There is repetition. Statements are made. Hammered. Insistent. Again and again. Relentless. Tireless. Again and again.]]
** Dick Grayson. Age 12.

* [[Freudian Excuse]]: {{spoiler|Dick Grayson's}} evilness in ''The Dark Knight Strikes Again'' is so clear now.
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: Since Superman and the Green Lantern are boy scouts compared to everyone else, their dialogue comes off as even sillier than the [[Cluster F-Bomb|Cluster F Bombs]]. Although Superman's only line in his first few appearances is "DAMN!"
Line 64:
* [[Training From Hell]]: Clearly what Batman intended for Robin.
* [[Traveling At the Speed of Plot]]: [http://www.i-mockery.com/comics/longbox7/default.php The Goddamn Batmobile is also a Goddamn Delorean]:

** A lot of these issues come up. The series goes over two or three nights, depending on how you look at it, yet Miller seems to forget this since the books took so long to come out. Especially in issue nine. Batman arranges a meeting with Hal Jordan 'In twelve hours' in issue eight; yet in issue nine, Batman is reminiscing about multiple training sessions and Dick being in the cave with him for weeks. Also, apparently an entire clinic was bribed, Dick made a press conference and then they could paint an entire apartment yellow with "nearly an hour to spare" before Jordan arrived for his meeting twelve hours since issue eight.
** This is probably because Frank Miller is utilizing non-linear storytelling. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of all the "11 hours earlier" in the same issue.
Line 70:
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Both Robin and The Green Lantern call out Batman for his Bat-shit crazy behavior. Ironically, Batman also gets to call out Robin when Robin {{spoiler|crushes Green Lantern's throat}}.
* [[Who Are You?]]: The first issue of ''[[All Star Batman]]'' included this [[Memetic Mutation|memetic]] exchange (which, [[Stealth Parody|for better]] [[Internet Backlash|or for worse]], effectively set the tone for the series as a whole):

'''Batman:''' What are you, ''dense''? Are you ''retarded'' or something? Who the hell do you ''think'' I am? I'm the Goddamn ''Batman''. }}
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Poor Superman and Green Lantern seem to think they're living in the [[The Golden Age of Comic Books|Golden Age]]. Because of this, [[Sociopathic Hero|Batman]] can easily manipulate them both.
