Line 49:

* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Another given.

* [[Remember the New Guy]]: Aside from the [[Early-Bird Cameo]], Gordon's this. Alfred comments that "James Gordon has loomed large over [Bruce's] life." Then at the newly-installed Batsignal, Gordon says to Batman, "Thanks to all of your efforts, Batman, the time is finally right to take our alliance to the next step." Both said despite the fact that prior to "Night and the City," Gordon hadn't appeared in the present day.

* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Look under "Recursive Adaptation"

* [[Remember the New Guy]]: At least in regards to Batman and Alfred. Robin and Batgirl, not so much.

* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: At least in regards to Batman and Alfred. Robin and Batgirl, not so much.

* [[Recursive Adaptation]]: He's based a good deal of [[The Dark Knight Saga]]'s version of Lucius Fox--an old friend of Thomas Wayne, knows Bruce is Batman, and is an armorer for the Dark Knight. Goes into [[Comic Book Fantasy Casting]] territory in that this incarnation looks a good deal like [[Morgan Freeman]].

* [[Secret Keeper]]

Line 91:

* [[Composite Character]]: [http://www.toonzone.net/news/articles/18297/tz--sdcc-wb-animation-showcases-the-batman-and-legion-of-superheroes According to] [[Word of God|Alan Burnett]], he's Barry Allen. That said, he does have a personality more akin to Wally West or Bart Allen.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Charlie Schlatter, who voiced Flash on ''[[Superman ~~the~~ Animated Series]]'' voiced Flash here, though according to promo materials the Flash on ''STAS'' is the same as on ''[[Justice League]]'' and hence is Wally West whereas this Flash is Barry Allen.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: He's voiced by [[A Nightmare on Elm Street|Robert Englund]].

* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: He looks an awful lot like [[Marilyn Manson]], [[Ink Suit Actor|which makes sense]] [[Justified Trope|because]] [[What Could Have Been|Manson was originally contracted to voice him.]]

* [[Riddle Me This]]: As usual.

Line 180:

=== Poison Ivy ===

* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]

* [[Green Thumb]]

* [[Author Existence Failure]]: [[Batman (TV series)|Frank Gorshin]] died after Strange's third appearance was recorded.

* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: {{spoiler|He wanted all the knowledge of the universe for helping the Joining. He got it and became catatonic because they telepathically broadcasted it into his mind.}}

* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Makes his first, brief appearance in "Meltdown" and goes on to become ''much'' more important than that scene lets on.

Line 201:

=== Killer Croc ===

* [[Beast Man]]: Possibly Croc's most beastlike incarnation to date. Thankfully, the writers didn't claim that he had a "skin condition" this time.

* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Especially when compared with his [[Dumb Muscle]] portrayal in ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]''.

* [[Multiple Choice Past]]: We don't know whether he's a military genetic experiment gone awry, he deals with the wrong kind of voodoo magic in the swamps, or if he's simply a circus freak.

** If the tie-in comic, ''The Batman Strikes'' counts as [[All in The Manual]], then according to issue 25, he was both a military genetic experiment subject before escaping, then was part of a circus freakshow before escaping that and ultimately coming to Gotham, though it's still unknown if he was born like that as in the comics or if being part an experiment is the reason for his appearance.

* [[Perky Female Minion]]

* [[She Fu]]

Line 296:

=== The Everywhere Man ===

* [[Blessed ~~With~~ Suck]]: Arguably, the clones he creates become progressively more and more sentient, and every multiplication equals an ''even more'' untrustworthy clone, this ability only comes in handy a few times, a long fight isn't exactly smart.

* [[Blessed with Suck]]: Arguably, the clones he creates become progressively more and more sentient, and every multiplication equals an ''even more'' untrustworthy clone, this ability only comes in handy a few times, a long fight isn't exactly smart.
