Last of the three [[DCAU]] movies based on ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'', (Animation)|'''''Batman: theMystery Animatedof Series]]the Batwoman''''', concerningconcerns Batman's investigation of the titular new [[Batwoman|Bat]] in town. While Batman deals with this ''one'' distraction, ''three'' new women appear in Bruce Wayne's life - Rocky, [[Hot Scientist|a young scientist working with Wayne Industries]]; Sonia, [[Action Girl|a new police officer assigned to the force]]; and Kathy, the [[Mafia Princess|spoiled daughter of crime boss Carlton Duquesne]]. Soon, all three become prime suspects in the case of the [[Batwoman]]... {{spoiler|which is not too far from the truth at all}}.
----
==== ''Mystery of the Batwoman'' has examples of: ====
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Batwoman, but Sonia is an accomplished police detective before the film even starts. The Penguin's [[Bodyguard Babes]] count as well.
* [[Actor Allusion]] - Like her voice actress [[Elisa Gabriellia]], Sonia has a beauty spot on her left cheek.
* [[Art Shift]] - This film was made after the "revamp," which was an artistic redesign between the original animated series and ''The New Batman Adventures'', and was drawn in the style of the latter. Rupert Thorne had never appeared after the original revamp, so a new design had to be created to match his character with the art-style of the rest of the film. Though more "streamlined," it is nigh-identical to his previous design.
* [[Batwoman]] - A [[Continuity Reboot|re-imagining]] of the character, originally created in 1956. Her original identity is alluded to with Kathy Duquesne, whose name is phonetically similar to the original Kathy Kane.
Line 13 ⟶ 12:
* [[The Chanteuse]]: The unnamed singer who performs "Betcha Neva" in the Iceberg Lounge.
* [[Collective Identity]] - {{spoiler|Batwoman is all three of the suspected women, working together to pose as a single [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist|multi-skilled]] crime-fighter}}.
* [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]] - Rocky, Kathy and Sonia.
* [[Cast Asas a Mask]]: [[Kyra Sedgwick]] plays Batwoman. {{spoiler|But the three women sharing her identity are all played by different actresses}}.
* [[Clear My Name|Clear My Loved One's Name]]: Rocky is trying to do this for her fiancee, Kevin.
* [[Cute Clumsy Girl]] - Rocky.
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]] - Alfred, as per usual, and Tim Drake gets in a few good ones as well.
* [[Digging Yourself Deeper]] - Roxanne in this bit:
{{quote| '''Bruce''': Working late again?<br />
'''Roxanne''': Yeah. Fortunately my boyfriend is very understanding. What about yours? *''pause''* Girlfriend, I mean! Of course, girlfriend! I mean, considering your reputation and- NOT that it's bad or anything or even any of my business, because it's not, I was just curious! *''stops suddenly''* How red is my face?<br />
'''Bruce''': (''cheerfully'') Crimson. }}
* [[Disney Villain Death]] - {{spoiler|Bane falls into the fires on the ship below him, seemingly killing him. Anyone who has watched ''[[Batman Beyond (Animation)|Batman Beyond]]'' will know that [[Not Quite Dead|this did not kill him]]}}.
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]
* [[Doppelganger Attack]] - Sort of. {{spoiler|The remaining two Batwomen pull a [[Big Damn Heroes]] against the bad guys}}.
Line 33 ⟶ 32:
* [[Gender Blender Name|Gender Blender Nickname]] - Roxanne "Rocky" Ballantine.
* [[Hot Scientist]]: Rocky
* [[Interquel]] - Between ''[[Batman: The Animated Series (Animation)|Batman the Animated Series]]'' and ''[[Batman Beyond (Animation)|Batman Beyond]]''. Many features of the ''Beyond'' batsuit are taken from Batwoman's and it sets up the Bruce/Barbara relationship mentioned in the latter series. Tim Drake is still Robin and visibly older than his appearance in ''[[Batman: The Animated Series (Animation)|The New Batman Adventures]]'', but it is before the [[Flash Back]] scenes in [[Batman Beyond Return of the Joker|Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker]].
** Oddly enought he looks younger in the flashback than he does here.
* [[Kick Chick]] - Batwoman's fighting style.
Line 45 ⟶ 44:
* [[Ninja Maid]]: The penguins club staff
* [[No Dialogue Episode]]: "Chase Me", a short included on the DVD.
* [[Not That There's Anything Wrong Withwith That]]: When Roxanne accidentally misspoke about Bruce's playboy reputation concerning women during one of her ramblings.
* [[Non-Indicative Name|Non Indicative Title]] - {{spoiler|It's actually "Mystery of the Bat''women''"}}.
* [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist]]: Batwoman is a brilliant martial artist who also invented miraculous gadgets and is a skilled and experienced computer hacker. {{spoiler|It turns out it is three different women [[Collective Identity|using one costume]] who each bring their own skills to the table}}.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: David Ogden Stiers replaced [[Paul Williams]] as the Penguin and Hector Elizondo replaced Henry Silva as Bane.
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Bruce acts this way when Barbara calls him on the phone.
{{quote| '''Barbara''': But... spring break will be coming up soon and I'll be back in Gotham for ''two whole'' weeks. (*suggestively*) ''Won't that be nice''.<br />
'''Bruce''': ... Yes. We'll ''all'' be happy to see you.<br />
'''Tim''': Don't drag me into this. }}

* [[You ALL Share My Story]] - {{spoiler|Rocky, Sonia, and Kathy all have a beef either with a Bat-villain, or Carlton Duquesne. More indirectly, each shares a trait with Batman: Rocky his intelligence, Kathy his wealth, and Sonia his determination}}.
