Line 60:
* [[Good Costume Switch]]: A variation, as Harley never truly stops being evil. She starts the series still the Joker's "hench-wench" and wears the jester outfit from ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]''. However, after forsaking him, she regards this costume as a slave-garment, and switches to a different outfit with a halter, short-shorts and no mask to prove she's her own villain.
** [[Evil Costume Switch|Very Evil Costume Switch]]: Harley gets a change of wardrobe again in Season 2 when she pretty much becomes [[The Dragon]] to Darkseid himself, getting her own version of Granny Goodness' costume. However, it doesn't last long.
** [[Good Costume Switch|Genuinely Good Costume Switch]]: In season 4, after ascending to anti-hero status and joining the Bat-Family, Harley starts using a new costume while with them, that seems a cross between her regular costume and Batgirls, with pink and blue highlights and an exposed midriff, though she still uses her villain costume when "off duty".
* [[Easily Forgiven]]: Batman himself is willing to give Harley a second chance and even let her join the Bat-Family after she helps him with his "issues", despite the numerous murders she commits in seasons 1 through 3. Also, while Nightwing and Batgirl do scold her harshly after she kills Professor Pyg, they are willing to give her a second chance.
* [[Evil is Petty]]: The Joker, of course; to give just one example, the reason Todd continues to call Bane "Bang" while serving him is because the Joker is paying him to do so, simply to troll Bane. When he finds out Bane is planning to ''kill'' Todd over this, [[Evil Has a Bad Sense of Humor|he finds it hilarious.]]
* [[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 starting Season 2 and Nightwing for season 3.
* [[Hero with an F In Good]]: In season 4, Harley makes a "professional" [[Heel Face Turn]] and joining the Bat-Family, but cant' shake her old ways, killing Professor Pyg. She does at least try to do better.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]:
** {{spoiler|Sy Borgman does this in "Dye Hard" to allow Harley, Gordon, and the amnesiac Joker to escape Riddler and Dr. Psycho. However, while his body is destroyed, he survives by transferring his consciousness into a bionic eye he gives Harley, which she later downloads into her television.}}
