* AgeLift: This is a younger, less-experienced Joker who, according to one of the devs, had not yet reached "supervillain status" on his Earth. When he first learns of his [[Characters/BatmanArkhamSeriesTheJoker counterpart from this universe]], he's immediately disgusted at how ''old'' he is comparison.

* DaddyIssues: Shark begins tearing up when Batman addresses Robin as "[[FamilyOfChoice son]]" in his pre-recorded message, admitting to the squad he has a complicated relationship with his own father. Unlocked ARGUS tapes go into detail, revealing that at a younger age Shark foolhardily went to the surface to prove himself, where he was captured and sent to Belle Reve penitentiary, and his father never once sent any rescue.

* TruerToTheText: Much like the comics, this Gizmo is an adult with dwarfism, unlike his ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' counterpart (and by extension, the one from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo''), where he was reimagined as [[AgeLift a little kid]], and his ''Series/Titans2018'' counterpart, [[AbledInTheAdaptation who was an adult that didn't have dwarfism]].

* EveryoneHasStandards: He has a distaste for the "tacky sideshow" made from his former Earth, not just because it's too egomaniacal a concept even for him and Brainiac is stealing his bit, but because [[AndThenWhat there's no fun or excitement in being the Joker in a fully Jokerized world]].

* AmbiguouslyGay: The original had his moments, especially with Batman, but this Joker is so camp that the ambiguity is more on whether he ''isn't''. He maintains a platonic relationship with Harley -- "strictly coworkers" -- and seems particularly enamored with Rick Flag (who's been in some gay relationships himself) in his interrogation tapes, even nicknaming him "Flagpole".

*ParentsAsPeople: Genuinely tries to be part of his daughter, Zoe's, life but his inability to fully extract himself from his past as a ProfessionalKiller, puts a hamper on their relationship. As King Shark puts it, despite his shortcomings, Floyd is at least making the effort to communicate with his daughter, unlike Shark's own father.

* FutureMeScaresMe: Played for laughs. When Waller tries to scare Joker into line by showing him photographs of his Earth-1 counterpart's corpse, he's disgusted... to see how ''old'' and skin-damaged he was.
-->'''Joker:''' ''[observing the Batman Museum display]'' Wow... this is very existential for me. I always wondered what I'd look like dead. Answer? Waxy!
