Line 49:
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]:
** Harley kidnaps Amanda Waller in season 3 when Waller insults Ivy by saying "she hasn't done anything evil in years", intending to torture her once they get back to the arboretum. She doesn't know who Waller is at the time, but when she finds that out, it doesn't change much.
** Bane ''lives'' this Trope. After getting a sports trivia question wrong, he grumbled about blowing up Gotham Stadium. Later, he tries to kill a barista - Todd - calling him "Bang" instead of "Bane"; he convinces Killer Shark to help plant a bomb at the coffee shop, but after Shark botches it and is injured, he discovers [[Epic Fail|Todd wasn't there at the time - wasn't his shift]]. In season 3 he wants to blow up Harley's strip mall headquarters because Ivy won't return the pasta maker he gave her for her (cancelled) wedding to Kite Man. His plan to do so is foiled (Ivy blows it up herself by accident) but he still wants it back, angrily mentioning it [[Running Gag| every time he appears.]]
* [[Dumb Is Good]]: Clayface; there is no easy way to say this, he is a ''complete'' idiot in this version, even dumber than Kite Man. And among the bad guys, he is the least evil and least dangerous, only an actual threat when [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] in one episode.
* [[The Gadfly]]: Catwoman. Selina in this version is something of an instigator and gloryhound and often steals things as a jest simply to prove she can, like how she takes Ivy's jacket and puts it on before Ivy realizes it.
Line 56:
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: Batman and the Justice League push the limits of what can truly be called "good". Batman seems to think Harley has crossed the [[Moral Event Horizon]] by taking the Batmobile for a joyride. Even worse, in one episode, the League is intent on banishing Harley and her gang to the Phantom Zone for releasing a mob of killer trees without any attempt at due process. (And for the record, the Scarecrow was responsible - Harley and her gang were attempting to stop the trees.) At the very least, they stand down once Poison Ivy pleads with Wonder Woman to use the Lasso of Truth on her to confirm her story.
* [[Hero Antagonist]]: Batman and the Justice League in this case, as well as Batgirl for much of Season 2.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]:
*
** In season 3 {{spoiler|After realizing that Poison Ivy's (now-successful) plan to terraform Gotham into a [[Garden of Evil]] results in civilians being painfully transformed into mindless [[Plant Person]] [[Slave Mooks]], Harley exposes herself to the chemical herself, hoping her own death will convince Ivy to call it off. Note that while Ivy does call it off and aborting the plan [[No Ontological Inertia|cures and saves Harley]], Harley did ''not'' know that would happen. As a bonus, this convinces Bane to forget about the stupid pasta maker.}}
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: The Joker falling victim to his plan to "erase" Harley's identity.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Dr. Psycho - a [[Depraved Dwarf]] - seems to have a fetish of sorts involving women much larger than he is. He brainwashed Giganta into marrying him and even sired a son before the brainwashing wore off and she left him. (Poison Ivy asks him in one episode [[Improbable Species Compatibility|how it was even possible]].) In a later episode, Poison Ivy drinks some formula that makes her grow to giant size, and Psycho quickly starts gawking at her.
