== [[Fridge Brilliance]] ==
* The show is subtle and quick-witted, quite often clear-cut issues presented in episodes have double or even triple meanings that will only be revealed hours later.
** In ''Almost Got 'Im'', Killer Croc's story about almost defeating Batman was comically simple and unimpressive, climaxing with him throwing a rock at Batman ("It was a BIG rock!"). This actually doesn't jive with the portrayal in the rest of the series where, while Croc isn't by any means a ''smart'' villain, he isn't stupid either, he just relies on strength and animal cunning. The brilliance is that [[Cast
** In "If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?" has the camera focus on the future Riddler. Also next to him, [[Foreshadowing|a large collection of cubicles in the form of a maze]]
** Given the way Dick Grayson's parents died, it makes a lot of sense that the majority of his panic attacks in "Fear of Victory" are kicked off by heights.
Line 10:
** There is, however, a subtler brilliance to the scene - Not only did Joker believe he ''was'' about to die, which probably exhilirated him, but the revelation that the gun was a dud probably confirmed in his mind some sort of perceived immortality that was played up a lot with Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker.
== [[Fridge Horror]] ==
* It happened a lot early in ''[[Batman:
** In later episodes, at least, the characters [[No Endor Holocaust|tended to mention that no one was hurt or that the victim had narrowly survived]].
** In the beginning of the episode, "Joker's Favor", the Joker is driving around in a station wagon with luggage strapped to the top. The radio mentioned he had just escaped police custody, so the car probably wasn't his. Not that this is a stretch for the Joker, but this seems to imply that he killed some vacationers for their car.
* Step One: Watch [[Return of the Joker]]. Step Two: Watch any Batman episode that focuses on Tim Drake, especially if it features his trademark recklessness and devil-may-care attitude. Step Three: Hide under a blanket; eat ice cream out of the carton; try not to cry.
** Alternatively, Step One: watch [[Mad Love]]. Step Two: watch ANY episode with the Joker and Harley Quinn in it, and realize that her attempts to save face when goofing up are less about her being a [[Perky Female Minion]], and more about just trying [[Domestic Abuse|not to get hit for it]].
*** Yet another one. Step One: Play ''[[
* In Scarface and the Ventriloquist's first episode, they're hiding out in a warehouse full of (all-female) mannequin parts. Since Scarface is the Ventriloquist's other personality, is he surrounding himself with dismembered women?
* In the first part of "Feat of Clay", Bats drops an unconscious man, from the air, into a swimming pool. While reviving the senseless with water is a cartoon staple, Bell very well could have drowned before the cops got to him, and broken bones from the rough landing. And then you have Clayface [[Body Horror|slapping pieces of]] ''[[Body Horror|himself]]'' onto people...
