Line 27:
* [[Action Girl]]:
** Catwoman appears frequently, [[Wild Card|sometimes assisting Batman, sometimes working against him.]]
** Barbara Gordon initially appears only as Commissioner Gordon's daughter, [[Character Development|but over the series she transforms into]] [[
** From time to time, Harley Quinn as well.
* [[Action Series]]
Line 308:
* [[German Expressionism]]: [[Bizarrchitecture|Exaggerated architecture]] is reasonably common throughout the series, and is especially prevalent in the episode "Growing Pains."
* [[Gilligan Cut]]: A dramatic example: the end of "The Terrible Trio" has the [[Complete Monster]] rich playboy Warren declaring [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|his family's lawyers will undoubtedly get him off]] as Batman apprehends him. The very next scene is him being pushed into a jail cell.
* [[Girls Night Out Episode]]: [[Trope Namers]], featuring [[
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: A villainous example in Harley Quinn.
* [[Giving Them the Strip]]: In "Christmas With the Joker", Batman attempts to grab the fleeing joker, only to end up holding the Joker's cardigan, complete with a false set of arms.
Line 403:
* [[Legal Jailbait]]: Played for tragedy in Baby-Doll's story.
* [[Leitmotif]]:
** Most of the villains have their own theme tune and many of the heroes as well including Batman, Robin and [[
** Everyman Charlie Collins, protagonist of the episode "Joker's Favor", had a very upbeat, grating leitmotif consisting of unusually cheery whistling and trombones blowing in a manner reminiscent of ''[[Leave It to Beaver]]''-esque, 1950's family sitcom background music.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Honestly, you would think a rich guy like Bruce Wayne could afford more than one suit. In "Harley's Holiday" Bruce actually goes suit shopping with Veronica Vreeland, who points out that Bruce needs a better sense of style. Even one of the DVD commentaries joked about it.
Line 462:
* [[Not His Sled]]: In "Bane," Bane lifts the worn and tired Batman overhead and breaks his back over his knee! No, wait, that was [[Knightfall]].
* [[Not My Driver]]
* [[The Not-Secret]]: [[Playing with a Trope|It is never made explicitly clear]], but when Barbara tries to confess to her father that she is [[
* [[Not So Stoic]]: The writers will occasionally allow Batman's grim facade to break, with great effect. Notable examples:
** "Two-Face, Part 1": Upon seeing the effects of the chemical explosion on his childhood friend (and one of few ''real'' friends "Bruce Wayne" has) Harvey Dent, Batman's anguish is palpable.
