Line 59:
* [[Rogues Gallery Transplant]]: Many villains on the show have previously had little, if anything, to do with Batman. Dr. Psycho is a [[Wonder Woman]] villain, and Dr. Trap was from the short-lived ''[[Chase]]'' comic. Characters like [[Lex Luthor]] and [[Darkseid]] seem to be clearly in [[Hero of Another Story| Villain of Another Story]] territory when they appear.
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: The show has gotten a lot of guff due to Sy Borgman being a stereotypical old Jewish guy, but a quick look at the credits shows quite a few Jewish names among the writers, suggesting this Trope.
* [[Self-Restraint]]: In "Riddle U", Riddler takes over Gotham University, providing electricity to the place by forcing students run on giant hamster wheels; Harley and Ivy capture him and subject him to his own medicine, using him to power the mall they use as a hideout. The next episode, Riddler shows he can escape easily, but decides to stay because Gotham is in a state of anarchy, and by staying, he gets fed, gets ''lots'' of exercise, and best of all, gets "free entertainment" watching Harley's gang squabble amongst themselves.
** In a later episode, Harley breaks ''into'' Arkham thinking it's the best way to let Ivy have a decent wedding while having a quiet place to sulk. Unfortunately, Two-Face sees the perfect opportunity to use Harley as an [[Unwitting Pawn]].}}
* [[Slapstick Knows No Gender]]: In many cases, Harley suffers ''more'' indignity from violence than the rest of the main cast. Ivy isn't immune either.
* [[The Starscream]]: {{spoiler|After Harley backs out of her deal with Darkseid, Dr. Psycho double crosses her and takes the position himself.}}
Line 69 ⟶ 70:
* [[Traumatic Toggle]]: The Joker's plan to "erase" the identity of "Harley Quinn" by giving her a second dunking in the vat of chemicals that gave her that identity. [[Hoist by His Own Petard|It happens to him instead.]]
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Harley is clearly on the dark side of the moral spectrum here, although most other villains in Gotham are worse.
* [[Wedding Smashers]]: {{spoiler|Two-Face fools Gordon into raiding Ivy and Kite-Man's wedding, promising a mass-arrest of the villains attending will be a boost to Gordon's reputation and career. Unfortunately, the end result is a disaster for both the couple ''and'' Gordon. By the end of the episode, even his daughter hates him.}}
