The chase climaxes with the Batmobile shedding its excess bulk so it can drive through a narrow alleyway.

* AbortedArc: Julie Madison - Bruce's steady girlfriend in ''Batman and Robin'' - was originally scripted to have a more prominent role where Poison Ivy actually killed her and motivated Bruce for revenge. This was cut by the time of filming, but the movie clearly still has elements of this in the screenplay and Julie abruptly vanishes from the film in the third act without even so much as a reference as to where she is.
* AlwaysNeedWhatYouGaveUp: Almost immediately after Bruce Wayne foregoes his Batman identity, Two-Face and The Riddler invade Wayne Manor, nearly kill Bruce, kidnap Chase Meridian, and destroy the Batcave.
* DrivingUpAWall: Batman manages to evade one of Two-Face's attacks by firing a grappling hook from the Batmobile towards the top of a tall building, allowing him to drive up the building's side. Oddly enough, the road-hugging design of the Batmobile should make this feat impossible to pull off.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Both Batman's and Bruce Wayne's first scenes establish the new depths to him not seen in the previous films. In the opening scene, Batman saves a mook from going down an elevator shaft, and Bruce's first scene is not him holed up in the Manor but actively involved in the daily operations at Wayne Enterprises.

* InTheHood: His outfit has a hood. Ironically, he operates within the slums.
