* [[Perp Sweating]]: Detective Bullock attempts to sweat a wrongly-accused Bruce Wayne in ''The Batman Adventures'' #6.

* [[Placebo Effect]]: Or rather, nocebo effect. In one issue, the Scarecrow claims on television that he's infected all of Gotham with fear toxin.

* [[Plant Person]]: Poison Ivy

* [[Recursive Adaptation]]: A comic based on a TV series based on a comic.

* [[Revenge]]: Much like Batman, one issues shows how Joe Chill also obsesses over the deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne. Not learning their identities until later, Chill spends the rest of his life living in utter terror of someone as rich and powerful as Bruce Wayne taking bloody vengeance on him for killing his parents, to the point where he starts hallucinating Bruce Wayne appearing everywhere. Ultimately, {{spoiler|when Batman is unmasked while trying to rescue Chill, who's dangling from a balcony railing, the latter freaks out and falls to his death. Bruce is left utterly baffled as to what just happened, as he hadn't recognized Chill}}.

* [[Riddle of the Sphinx]]: Used in an issue featuring -- who else? -- the Riddler.

** ''The Batman Adventures'' #6 is a murder mystery with shout-outs to ''[[The Third Man]]'', ''[[Citizen Kane (Film)|Citizen Kane]]'', and the works of [[Alfred Hitchcock]].
