Batman (film): Difference between revisions

* [[Shock and Awe]]: Joker's lethal joy buzzer.

* [[Shoot the Television]]: Done twice by the Joker. The first is when he takes a boxing glove gun to the TV for mention of Batman in connection to an assassination that Joker pulled off on one of Grissom's underbosses, demanding to know, "What kind of a world we live in where a man dressed up as a bat gets all of my press?!" The second time, Joker shoots the television screen with a real gun after learning on the news that his poisoning scheme involving beauty products has been foiled by the Batman.

* [[Silly Song]]: "Partyman"

* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Alexander Knox is set up as one, but he's mostly an aversion (if not an outright ''in''version). He fancies himself a great investigative reporter, even though he famously has a "useless reputation" and though [[All of the Other Reindeer|his coworkers at the Gotham Globe offices relentlessly mock him for being one of the few people in Gotham City who actually believes in Batman]]. In addition, when he meets Vicki Vale and is instantly smitten with her, he arrogantly asks if she has come to photograph him nude, and boasts that in that case she will need a long lens. But Vicki actually ends up ''liking'' Allie despite his more annoying qualities, and in the end he is vindicated when the people of Gotham come to realize that he was right about Batman after all. The nearest Knox gets to a [[Break the Haughty]] is when Vicki accidentally hits him with a car during a panicked stampede in the streets and he falls off the hood and into a pile of garbage in an alley.
