[[Anti
The '''good''' news: He finds an old colleague, Dr Gregory Belson, who is heavily in debt and desperately in need of a windfall — which Victor can provide, having discovered a large vein of gold in the Arctic. The '''bad''' news: The only thing that can save Nora is an organ transplant, there aren't any deceased donors with her rare blood type, and any living one would die. Victor is undeterred, and the two of them quickly pick a target: [[Batgirl|Barbara Gordon]].
While it lacks the near-cult status and awesome soundtrack of ''[[Batman: Mask of the Phantasm]]'' this movie was a critical and commercial success and is currently the third-highest rated Batman film on RottenTomatoes.com, with 90% to ''[[The Dark Knight]]'''s 94% and ''[[Batman: Under the Red Hood]]'' 100%.

* [[Action Girl]]: Barbara, obviously.
* [[Air Vent Passageway]]: Barbara gets out of her cell this way, only to discover that they're on an abandoned oil rig.
Line 19 ⟶ 17:
* [[Art Evolution]]: The film was made using the more detailed style of the original BTAS designs but was made during TNBA era, which was appreciated by fans.
* [[Bruce Wayne Held Hostage|Barbara Gordon Held Hostage]]: Out of the 18 possible donors in Gotham, Belson picked the superheroine. She also happens to be the Police Commissioner's daughter, which Belson ''should'' have known.
* [[Anti
* [[Billy Needs an Organ]]: They make it through the entire movie without ever specifying ''which one(s)'', only that the donor cannot survive after removal.
* [[Conspicuous CGI]]: And it really doesn't mesh with the art style.
Line 26 ⟶ 24:
* [[Description Cut]]: Three in a row when Commissioner Gordon's talking about Barbara at the beginning.
* [[Dirty Coward]]: Belson leaves Freeze to die out of fear for his own safety. The heroes then risk their lives to save him while Belson gets fatally smacked with karma.
* [[
** In other words, a [[Badass Damsel]].
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Subverted. When Freeze makes it clear to Belson that he's planning to kill Barbara to save Nora, the scene begins to play out like a typical [[Even Evil Has Standards]] moment....and then it's shown that Belson actually is acting disgusted and reluctant about doing it because he feels Mr. Freeze isn't ''paying him enough for it.'' He happily goes along with it once Freeze ups the payment.
* [[
* [[Falling Chandelier of Doom]]
* [[Family
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: The scene that starts with Barbara groaning offscreen while her bed moving about heavily feels like this.
* [[Heartwarming Orphan]]: Kunac
* [[Hero Stole My Bike]]: Dick Grayson takes a random guy's motorcycle while pursuing Freeze, but gives him the keys to his Corvette in exchange.
* [[If I Do Not Return]]
{{quote|
'''Robin:''' '''''[[Big "What?"|WHAT!?]]''''' }}
* [[Jerkass]]: Belson is willing to go along with Victor's plan just so he can get himself out of debt, regardless of whatever happens to Barbara. See the [[Even Evil Has Standards]] subversion.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Mr. Freeze. He kills a submarine crew for accidently wrecking his Artic hideout, and was the one who instigated the plan to kidnap Barbara to harvest her organs, yet he is [[Easily Forgiven]] for the finale because he breaks his leg and Norah is put in danger. It wouldn't have been ''so'' bad if he'd [[Redemption Equals Death|actually died in the end]], but he survives and it leaves mixed feelings.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: While this film is still not a lighter hearted kids' cartoon, it is not nearly as dark as the previous film, ''[[Batman: Mask of the Phantasm]]''.
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]
* [[Magic Skirt]]
* [[Missing Trailer Scene]]: In a unique application of this trope, the commercials for this movie consisted entirely of scene from Mr. Freeze's previous appearances on ''[[Batman:
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Melissa Gilbert was replaced by [[Mary Kay Bergman]] as the voice of Barbara Gordon. [[Tara Strong]] would replace her when ''B:TAS'' became ''[[Batman:
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Kunac.
* [[Right
* [[Say My Name]]
* [[Save the Villain]]: {{spoiler|All three heroes help Freeze after he gets pinned by debris. He then helps them rescue Nora and Kunac, and Batman tries to save him even when the oil rig is about to go up in flames.}}
* [[Sexy Backless Outfit]]: Barbara at the fundraiser.
* [[Shipper
* [[Shrug of God]]: Is this film set before or after Batman and Robin find out Barbara is Batgirl? It was constructed so as not to contradict either possible answer.
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Batman and Robin. They do this the way the rest of us breathe.
* [[Tranquil Fury]]: Robin is noticeably quieter than his usual DCAU appearances, but after Barbara is kidnapped he's really, ''[[Beware the Nice Ones|really]]'' pissed off.
* [[You're Insane!]]
