Line 63:
* [[Covered with Scars]]: His body is often shown to be covered in scars from his multiple fights.
* [[The Cowl]]
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: A good thing for the most part, but unfortunately this led him to create the rogue program [[
* [[Creepy Good]]: Some interpretations of [[Batman]]'s membership in the [[Justice League]] are portrayed this way. Everyone has their seat at the table, and Batman's off in a corner being quiet (if you notice him at all).
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]
Line 265:
* [[Anti-Hero]]: type IV in his solo series, Type V or even an [[Anti-Villain]] when a heel.
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: One of the key reasons to his newfound popularity among readers after his ressurection.
* [[Back
* [[Black Sheep]]
* [[Costume Copycat]]: There has always been someone using the costume before Jason. Dick Grayson as Robin I, the Joker as Red Hood I, and [[Kingdom Come]] Grayson as the first Red Robin.<ref>Though, technically, Jason was the first New Earth Red Robin.</ref> ''[[Red Hood and the Outlaws]]'' even reveals that his current costume is actually one of Grayson's.
Line 406:
* [[Reckless Sidekick]]: His superiority complex from his League of Assassins training and being Batman's son has made him a very reckless child, but he's [[Character Development|developing]] out of it.
* [[Royal Brat]]: Alright, technically he's not royalty, but his maternal grandfather is Ra's Al Ghul and his father is ''Batman''.
* [[Shadow Archetype]]: His composition makes him basically one to the entire Bat Clan (Bruce's age when his quest for vengeance began wit h many of the skills he would come to acquire but none of the maturity, Dick's being formally trained before being Robin with the loving parents replaced with sinister assassins, Jason's violent tendencies, Tim's intelligence minus the patience and rationale to utilize it properly, and, as mentioned above, Cassandra's general origin of being raised by the League of Assassins, minus [[The Spartan Way|all the stuff that]] [[Training
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Subverted, he really is as deadly as he says... he's just not allowed to kill.
* [[Sour Supporter]]: He'll sneer and chide to the moon, but he rarely disobeys an order.
Line 505:
* [[Technical Pacifist]]: Just because she won't kill doesn't mean she won't stop your heart with pressure strikes so you understand what death will be like. She'll restart it afterwards, but...
* [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]]: Originally, her urge to not kill was even stronger than Bruce's. To be fair, she began to question her stance at the end of her series.
* [[Training
* [[Twofer Token Minority]] - Dyslexic, half-Vietnamese woman. Well, formerly dyslexic anyway.
* [[Tyke Bomb]]
Line 540:
* [[Pettanko]]: According to Damian. Though while not quite at [[Most Common Superpower]] level, she isn't exactly ''lacking''...
** He implies that she pads her bras.
*** Damian's lying. As anybody who remembers the original ROBIN title<ref>Most particularly issue #58, which shows us what she looks like when awakened in the middle of the night wearing only pajamas.</ref> knows full well, Steph is ''stacked''.
* [[Plucky Girl]]: Very much so. She is referred to by Batman as the most hopeful of his organization, and a [[What Could Have Been]] scene shows her as a Blue Lantern.
* [[Retcon]] She did die, and then she didn't.
Line 632:
* [[Plucky Girl]]
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Implied in her appearance in the ''Hawk and Dove Annual'', by Dove's analysis of her personality that she's actually a lonely and depressed girl desperate for company and contact with others.
* [[Took a Level
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Almost got featured, alongside Beast Boy and a host of other 1970s characters, in a spin-off called ''Titans L.A.'' As Bat-Girl, she was initially set to be part of the main '70s ''Teen Titans'' team and be involved in a love triangle with Robin and Duela Dent, but DC pulled the plug on the title before Bob Rozakis could get to those plans.
Line 688:
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: Subverted for [[The Shrink|Brian Bryan]], though he has stated concerning Lilhy, "If I were twenty years younger..."
* [[Canon Discontinuity]]: Jean-Paul Valley stated at the end of the ''Batman: Sword of Azrael'' mini-series that he and his father shared the same name. However, according to Azrael: Year One, his father's name was Ludovic Valley. This could be explained as simply Jean-Paul being mistaken, considering his [["Well Done, Son" Guy|somewhat strained relationship with his father]]... [[Brutal Honesty|or the writer forgot]].
* [[Doing
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Jean-Paul Valley had two [[Flaming Sword|flaming blade things]] on his wrists. See picture.
* [[Exiled From Continuity]]: Mostly because the book only had one creative team for its entire run. To [[X Ray|this troper's]] knowledge, Jean-Paul Valley has never appeared in another book aside from his own that was not a Bat-book, with the sole exceptions of ''[[Blackest Night]]'' #1 & #4 and the frankly obscure ''Plus'' #1. Also partially because a lot of people hate him for some reason.
