{{tropelist}}
* [[Actor Allusion]]: In the opening credits, Jensen Ackles' name appears next to a graveyard filled with cross-shaped tombstones, in what may be a reference to his role on ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]''.
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]/[[Pragmatic Adaptation]]: The works the film is based on are mostly adapted very well and quite faithfully, but the movie changes a few of the sillier or more complex aspects. From ''A Death in the Family'', the political aspect of the Joker getting diplomatic immunity {{spoiler|for Jason's death}} because he became an ambassador for the Ayatollah was understandably dropped. As was the bit about [[The Joker]] selling a nuke to Arab terrorists. And the search for Jason Todd's mother among an Israeli Mossad agent, Lady Shiva, and a back-alley abortionist working as an aid relief worker. Actually, after taking out the silly parts from ''A Death in the Family'', basically all that was left was {{spoiler|about 5-minutes of [[The Joker]] beating the crap out of Jason Todd with a crowbar}}. The major change from ''Under The Hood'' was using a completely different explanation for {{spoiler|Jason's resurrection, instead of the whole "coming back from the dead via [[Infinite Crisis|Superboy-Prime Punch]]" thing.}}. {{spoiler|[[The Joker]]}} now has a larger role, and Black Mask's characterization has been somewhat changed.
Line 101:
* [[Flying Brick]]: The Amazo robot has super-strength, flight and laser eye beams.
* [[Gender Flip]]: In the original comic, Ms. Li is a '''Mr.''' Li. As the only female character was cut due to [[Adaptation Distillation]], the gender change was likely to prevent the entire cast from being all-male.
* [[Give the Villain a Hero's Funeral]]: A variant occurs in ''[[Batman: Under the Red Hood]]''. Batman has a memorial for Jason Todd in the Batcave, to remind himself of the son he lost. After learning that the Red Hood is a resurrected Jason, who tries to get Bruce to break his code by killing the Joker, Alfred asks with sympathy and calm if they should dismantle the case. Bruce says no; despite what happened and what Jason is doing now, he was still a child when he died, and a hero.
* [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]: Said by Ra's Al Ghul himself to describe how {{spoiler|Jason Todd [[Came Back Wrong]] after the resurrection ceremony.}}
* [[Good Guns, Bad Guns]]: Red Hood has a (heavily modified) AK-47. Talia has a Luger. Both are "bad guy" guns.
