Line 40:
* [[Alice Allusion]]: The Religion of Crime's second High Madame, who speaks entirely in [[Lewis Carroll]] quotes.
* [[Anachronic Order]]: Her conflict with the organization Medusa is divided into four individual stories (Kate, Maggie, Colonel Kane and Cameron Chase) that are focused on, and the time jumps back and forth between them.
* [[...And Show It to You]]: The Religion of Crime is almost ''obsessed'' with tearing out Batwoman's still-beating heart. It is a prominent plot point in her introduction and her ongoing story.
* [[Angsty Surviving Twin]]: Kate has mourned the death of her twin sister Beth since she was a child {{spoiler|and learns of Beth's actual survival only moments before she (accidentally) kills her herself.}}
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Kate decided to become a vigilante crimefighter as an outlet and expression of her depression, listlessness and refusal to accept the decision of society to refuse her help.
Line 59:
* [[Bow Ties Are Cool]]: She wears a feminine-tailored tuxedo, complete with bow-tie, to a Gotham socialite's ball.
* [[Bring It]]
{{quote| '''Religion of Crime Acolyte:''' "I will give the High Madame your [[...And Show It to You|still-beating]] ''[[...And Show It to You|heart]]!''"<br />
'''Batwoman:''' "[[Bring It]]."<br />
''They fight, with the Acolyte beaten and knocked out''.<br />
Line 130:
* [[Name of Cain]]: Probably named after Batman creator Bob Kane. The Post-Crisis Batwoman has been drawn into the inner workings of the Religion of Crime due to her presence at the heart of their prophecies regarding the "twice-named Daughter of Cain." Because of this, the religion has become somewhat preoccupied with her sacrifice.
* [[Never Found the Body]]: {{spoiler|Alice}}, and previews heavily imply this will be followed up on in the ongoing.
* [[Odd
* [[Only Mostly Dead]]: In her ''Batman and Robin'' appearance she gets severely injured and decides to commit suicide and get Lazarus Pitted rather than risk paralysis.
* [[The Ophelia]]: Alice, who speaks, as Kate puts it, "fluent crazy" from [[Lewis Carroll]] {{spoiler|and seemingly dies by drowning in the river}}.
Line 162:
* [[Twin Switch]]: Flashbacks reveal that, in their childhood, Kate and Beth at least once changed places in school, fooling their teacher. Later, unintentionally, Beth was mistaken for Kate and Larry Quinones rushed up and declared his love.
* [[Twofer Token Minority]]: The newest incarnation is lesbian ''and'' Jewish, and they manage to work both angles into her stories logically as she celebrates a mixed Hanukkah/Christmas holiday season with her on-again, off-again girlfriend.
* [[Visual Pun]]: "Think I'm some victim? You don't know. I'm a '''soldier'''. ''[[Memetic Mutation|I'm a Goddamn--]]''" Next Panel: [[Shout
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Batwoman was initially touted as one of the main characters in James Robinson's ''[[Justice League]]'' spin-off book ''[[Cry for Justice]]'', and was heavily featured in promotional material for the book and even got a spot on the first cover. When the book was shortened and turned into a mini-series thanks to [[Executive Meddling|a decision from the higher-ups]], Batwoman's appearances in the title were regulated to scattered cameos and a brief supporting role in the fifth issue. The writer later apologized for performing an unintentional bait-and-switch on fans of the character.
* [[Will Not Tell a Lie]]:
