Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Complete Monster]]: [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Derek Powers]]/[[Walking Wasteland|Blight]] is the most prominent one in Terry's [[Rogues Gallery]]... until {{spoiler|[[Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker|the Joker came back]]}}.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The series itself has an amazing opening sequence and music in general,
** In one episode, Bruce Wayne has to save Terry from Inque. We are treated to a re-orchestrated version of the original [[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman Theme]] during the fight.
** One episode featured Bruce and Terry atending a Batman ''musical''.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]:
Line 9:
** [[Mad Bomber|Mad Stan]] was a one-note villain simply there to force Terry to miss his date with Dana. His outright ''insane'' [[Ax Crazy]] personality made him popular among fans and he reappeared in several episodes, finally getting to be the main antagonist when the ''[[Zeta Project]]'' crossed over. The best part: due to Zeta's naive, cheerful nature, he and Stan actually get along well, resulting in this hilarious line:
{{quote|'''Zeta:''' What a nice guy. [[Drives Like Crazy|But he should really learn to drive more carefully.]]}}
* [[Epileptic Trees]]: Spoofed in ''[[Return of the Joker]]'' when Terry starts rattling off a list of increasingly unlikely theories as to why the Joker's still alive and kicking. Bruce eventually tells him to shut up. His theories also include a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Captain America (comics)]].
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: Inque. {{spoiler|It runs in the family, as her daughter Deanna is pretty good looking also.}}
** Also Queen and Ten from the Royal Flush Gang count for this, {{spoiler|until Ten defects from the group.}}
Line 45:
* [[Shipping]]: Terry/[[Secret Keeper|Max]] and Terry/[[Dating Catwoman|Melanie Walker]] have their fans. Believe it or not, so does [[Official Couple|Terry/Dana]] and inevitably for better or worse, so does [[Squick|Terry/Bruce]].
* [[Squick]]: Shriek's creepy little mutant henchman, who likes nothing more than to sit on the floor with a tuning fork that directly stimulates a body's pleasure center. Complete with eyes rolling back and moaning. [[Brain Bleach|Who else needs a shower after that?]]
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character]]: An issue fans took with the series was that several interesting villains were never used for more than three episodes before getting dropped for no apparent reason.
** Blight was the biggest offender. He was the Big Bad of the first season and set up as the Big Bad of the series period....but nope, he never returned after the first season's finale. The character did reappear in the comics, however - to elaborate, his body survived, but he doesn't seem to remember anything about his past life outside of hatred and a desire for vengeance for Batman and Paxton Powers, and was eventually made into a target for the Stalker, and was eventually {{spoiler|killed by being caught in a blast furnace.}}
* [[Viewer Myopia]]: Dana gets a lot of flack from some fans for not cutting Terry any slack when he misses dates because of Batman duties, even though as far as she knows, he's just an old man's part-time assistant.
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: The Earth Mover.
