Line 349:
* [[Master Poisoner]]: Poison Ivy, the Joker, the Scarecrow
* [[McNinja]]
* [[Mega Manning]]: Batman tends to keep items from his defeated villains handy, such as a vial of [[Scarecrow]]'s fear gas, and one of Mr. Freeze's guns.
** [[Batman Can Breathe in Space]] originates from Batman's ability to do just about anything and have the audience accept it. Because he's Batman. [[Crazy Prepared|And he already planned ahead for the possibility of being attacked by]] gigantic mutated wombats fueled by VENOM, wearing suicide vests. So it makes perfect sense that he already has a plan.
* [[Mini-Dress of Power]]: Catwoman's outfit sometimes is this.
* [[Misery Builds Character]]: Batman envelopes the very heart of this trope.
Line 358 ⟶ 356:
* [[Moral Myopia]]: Villains operate on their own twisted morality.
* [[Multiple Demographic Appeal]]: In the 60's television show, Batgirl was added to attract two demographics that weren't watching the show -- young girls ''and their fathers''.
* [[Never Smile At a Crocodile]]: Killer Croc. Depending on the writer, he's a man with a really bad skin disease (which makes him look like reptilian) or in some others a full-blown, [[I Am'm a Humanitarian|hungry]] crocodile-man.
* [[No OSHA Compliance]]: A lot of Gotham's buildings, warehouses and factories are like this, but the most glaring example is the Batcave. Platforms suspended over near-[[Bottomless Pits]] with nary a bit of railing in sight. The health hazards of all the moisture and wild bats have been pointed out from time-to-time as well.
* [[No Sense of Humor]]: Batman is sometimes depicted as this, [[Depending on the Writer]].
Line 366 ⟶ 364:
* [[Officer O'Hara]]: At first a generic cop who would just say "Saints Preserve Us!" anytime something dramatic happened, later reinvented by [[Jeph Loeb]] with heavy influences by [[The Untouchables]].
* [[Orphan's Ordeal]]: In most versions, Batman becomes who he is through witnessing the deaths of his parents as a child, leaving him to dedicate his life to ridding Gotham of crime.
 
== P-T ==
* [[Papa Wolf]]: Batman himself, and Commissioner Gordon when his kids' involved.
