* {{Narcissist}}: A rather nuanced and realistic portrayal of one. All of his conversations revolve around his problems (which are admittedly pretty severe); it's also implied that he surrounds himself with people that are in love with him, but that doesn't stop him from being verbally abusive to them (except in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' after having mellowed out and treated Grodd and his secret society much better then to others in the past).



* NextTierPowerUp: After reviving in "Growing Pains," he loses the weaknesses of constantly destabilizing and being unable to retain form other than his default one for an extended period. Beyond that, he's able to master his ability to such a point that he can split himself into multiple distinct forms and have them all work under a single mind.

* FourEyesZeroSoul: Before his StartOfDarkness, we could see his eyes through his spectacles. After that, they seem like a clock pointing 3 o'clock, or completely opaque at "Task Force X". "Time Out of Joint" makes it clearthat he wears specially designed ones when he's in-costume, as his eyes are visible on close-up through the 3 o'clock sigils.

* SpeechImpediment: When acting as Baby Doll, she ends most words with an unnecessary -s sound.



* VocalDissonance: Unlike her body, Dahl's natural voice is that of an adult. As Baby Dahl, she uses a painfully cutesy voice and manner of speech [[BadBadActing which is rather transparently affected]].

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the DoggedNiceGuy. Jervis is a shy, awkward dork who pines for his secretary Alice and tries to woo her with GrandRomanticGesture{{s}}. However, instead of portraying this as cute and romantic it's made clear it stems from him being mentally unstable and dangerously possessive. And once it becomes clear that she prefers her current boyfriend to him, Jervis tries to ''force'' her to be with him.

However, in both cases it's someone else; Joker using his stolen tech in the former and Braniac in the latter.

** Even worse, everything is clearly Fugate's fault. He went to the park with his important papers unprotected. In the flashback he is seen with a briefcase. If he simply planned things out and put the papers in the briefcase, he wouldn't have lost them in the wind and then fallen into the fountain trying to retrieve them.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Ironically for a series that made the majority of its villains more sympathetic, he falls into this. Since in the actual comics while The Scarecrow was still a sadistic Jerkass at least had a sympathetic backstory (to varying degrees depending on the continuity) usually involving him being bullied at some point and more depth. Here, even as a child he was a sadist that scared people for the living hell of it. The tie-in comics, however, invert this by giving him at least some likable traits such as having a soft spot for teaching and a bit of reluctance to become the Scarecrow at one point.

* TheFakeCutie: Was a child actor with a growth deficiency which prevented her from physically aging, and similarly [[NotAllowedToGrowUp prevented her career from advancing as well]]. Years later, she snapped and started kidnapping old cast members, but kept doing so in character as "Daddy's widdle precious". She only breaks character twice. Once when one of the cast members calls her out on her PrimaDonna tendancies that she goes on a subdued MotiveRant on how her career died despite her efforts to keep her career afloat and the show was the only time she remembered being happy. And again at the end of the episode, when she stumbles in front of a fun-house mirror that seems to show the adult form she could never have, that she breaks character and reveals what she's really like.
