Line 25:
* [[Black Comedy]]: With Harley as the protagonist, this is a natural, plus a lot of [[Gallows Humor]] thrown in.
* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: For some odd reason, the fact that Dr. Psycho brainwashed Giganta into marrying him isn't considered as bad as him [[Country Matters| using the C-word.]]
* [[Bolivian Army Ending]]: {{spoiler| Or possibly [[Bolivian Army Cliffhanger]]. The last episode of Season 2 ends with Harley and Ivy professing their love for each other, while being pursued by a squad of police cars in high-speed pursuit, a caption showing a [[The End - or Is It?]] message.}}
* [[Bloodier and Gorier]]: Almost all cases of named characters dying is brutal and bloody, civilians, mooks, and [[Red Shirts]] are frequently slaughtered, often with little reaction from the main cast.
** [[Denser and Wackier]]: On the other hand, most of it is [[Bloody Hilarious]] violence that [[Crosses the Line Twice]], possibly to the point where you could call the series as a whole a series of [[Comedic Sociopathy]].
Line 41 ⟶ 42:
* [[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.
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Initially, Harley seems willing to abandon Ivy, even volunteering to conduct her wedding to Kite-Man herself after gaining certification to do so. However, Kite-Man applies the Trope himself, realizing Ivy would be much happier with Harley.}}
* [[If You're So Evil Eat This Kitten]]: A variation. In season 2, Haley and her crew steal Mr. Miracle's boom-tube device in order to travel to Apokalypse and petition Darkseid for their servitude in exchange for an army. Darkseid considers it, but wants to test Harley's ''competence'' as well as loyalty, and thus demands she fight Granny Goodness. (Dr. Psycho was given the same chance earlier, he claims, but this is where he chickened out.) While Harley wins only because Psycho cheats (Darkseid specifically says she has to do it herself and Psycho buffs her using telekinesis) Darkseid doesn't notice, or if he does, doesn't care.
* [[Iron Butt Monkey]]: Harley, definitely. She endures a lot of painful humiliation in her goal to prove herself.
Line 49 ⟶ 51:
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Kite Man realizes that Ivy goes berserk whenever someone kills plants, so he makes a point to bring her ''plastic'' roses for their date.
* [[Lower Deck Episode]]: The 5th episode of Season Two focuses entirely on Batman and Batgirl with Harley and her gang not even mentioned.
* [[Love Triangle]]: Much of the B-plot of season 2 involves this between Harley, Ivy, and Kite-Man. {{spoiler|Eventually it ends with Harley and Ivy together, as Kite-Man realizes they love each other far more than he does Ivy.}}
* [[Made of Iron]]: Harley survives a lot of things that, by all rights, should have killed her, mostly involving falling from great heights. In one episode where KGBeast throws her from a train as it's going over a bridge, her expression seems to convey that she's mostly ''annoyed'' rather than afraid.
* [[Muggle Born of Mages]]: In this version, Kite-Man, a reason he has "issues" and tries so hard to be a super-villain. His father has ice manipulation powers, and his mother can fly, and both were rather disappointed to have a son with no real powers. They warm up to the idea of him marrying Ivy ''very'' quickly when they see she has actual super-powers.
