* ForWantOfANail: He's the only Batman to not being a brooding BrokenAce, and instead he's a kind hearted IdealHero. Unlike his counterparts he also seems to be less obsessed with the deaths of his parents, suggesting that's why he turned out so differently from all the other Batmen.

* ThirdWheel: As far as Catwoman is concerned Robin is this to her and Batman, and she wants him ''gone''. It's something of a dark RunningGag that whenever it seems like Catwoman is just about successfully persuade Batman to give in to his feelings for her, he inquires "what about Robin?" to which her answer is always to kill him.

* CardboardPrison: The Gotham State Pen is this in ''spades''. If hardened, repeat offending supercriminals aren't being released on good behavior after relatively light sentences, they're breaking out of prison with laughable ease. The Joker once escaped via a giant spring during a baseball game, fergoshsakes!

* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: The citizens of Gotham respect and adore Gordon for his efforts in keeping Gotham safe, even if Batman is doing most of the heavy lifting (not that he takes credit, mind you, as he feels Gordon deserves it more than anyone). Nevertheless, outside of the criminals who have obvious reason to hate him, Gordon is well beloved.

* ScreamingWoman: Turns into one at the start of "The Joker's Flying Saucer"; jury's out on whether she's [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes genuinely scared]] of (fake) martians or just distressed at this one messing up her precious library.
* SecretIdentity: There's exactly only one person who officially knows Barbara Gordon is Batgirl and it's Alfred (and he found out by complete accident). Unofficially, it stands to reason that her father Commissioner Gordon knows, since she couldn't have created/afforded the Batgirl equipment on her own, Gordon would have to know in order to shield her from getting arrested.

Character Alignment and its related tropes are Flame Bait, and are not allowed to be linked anywhere except on work pages as examples where they are cannonical


* LawfulGood: In-universe, perhaps ''the'' purest example of this trope of any version of Batman, if not one always played straight; nearly every episode features Bruce giving some sort of lecture -- usually to Dick, his legal ward -- on the merits of an orderly society, and though he deplores criminality itself, he tries to hold out hope that the villains he fights will reform their ways. [[TheFettered He also holds Robin and himself to complete, total adherence to the letter of the law]], which is shown to not always be the most pragmatic thing to do (such as feeding the meter before entering a crime scene or refusing to contest a vehicular infraction, [[HonorBeforeReason even if in both cases it would mean Catwoman got away]]).
