Tropes used in Spider-Man: Noir include:

• Badass Longcoat: As part of Spidey's costume.
• Big Bad: Norman Osborn.
• Circus of Fear: Norman Osborn recruited his inner circle from the circus, from which he himself is a refugee.
• Darker and Edgier
• Guns Akimbo: Hammerhead in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.
• I'm a Humanitarian: The Vulture.
• Likes Older Women: Peter himself, being in love with the thirtysomething Felicia Hardy.
• Nice Hat: An occasional part of the Noir Spidey costume - he only wears it a couple times.
• Superhero Packing Heat
• Wall Crawl: In the comics, this is notably absent from Spidey's power set, though he can do it in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.
  • Justified, as the in-game manual and the IGN review both state that Spidey Noir can only wall-crawl at all (that rhymes!) because Madame Web granted him those powers for use in the game. She probably took them away after they defeated Mysterio.
