!!Injustice League



A group of former Legion of Doom members assembled to take over Gotham in Season 2.



* ArcVillain: Collectively the main antagonists for the first half of Season 2 as Harley sets out for revenge after they seal her in ice.
* BigBadDuumvirate: The group is an equal alliance of villains controlling Gotham--although Bane is more DumbMuscle the others make fun of and boss around. By the time they're reduced to just him and Two-Face in episode five, the latter is the clear leader.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:They gradually get whittled down and are effectively dismantled halfway through the season, with the Riddler teaming up with Psycho for the remainder.]]
* DwindlingParty: By episode 7, Penguin is killed off relatively early, Riddler is captured by Harley's crew, Mr. Freeze sacrifices himself for his wife, Two-Face is arrested by Gordon, and Bane was last seen stuck in a pit.
* LegionOfDoom: Albeit a smaller version, made up of only Gotham villains.

* ArcVillain: Collectively CardCarryingVillain: All of them are completely open about their villainy.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Doctor Psycho is expelled for calling Wonder Woman

don't seem to care that he kept Giganta hypnotized.
* BigBadDuumvirate: LegionOfDoom: The group is an equal alliance TropeNamer. A collective of villains controlling Gotham--although Bane is more DumbMuscle supervillains who teamed up to counter the others make fun of and boss around. By Justice League.
* PokeThePoodle: They're so evil that they don't validate parking.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: The higher-ups in
the time Legion display some pretty sexist behavior, as the scarcity of female supervillains in their ranks can attest to, [[{{Hypocrite}} yet apparently Doctor Psycho saying the C-word is the line they're reduced not willing to just him cross]] ([[HypocriteHasAPoint though as it turns out, neither would Darkseid]]).
* PunchClockVillain: Their entire schtick. In this show, being a supervillain is like a career path one can pursue,
and Two-Face in episode five, that vein the latter Legion of Doom is a fancy big-time corporation that other villains hope to be able to join to prove they've made "the big leagues". They have meetings to discuss evil plans and if the clear leader.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:They gradually get whittled down
Legion should devote resources to a member's plan or not, have a pool of henchmen they can request or be loaned out for schemes, and are effectively dismantled halfway through even have a coffee lounge where they gossip like co-workers. When Scarecrow gives Harley's crew a tour of the season, with Legion headquarters, it's framed like a company executive showing some new trainees around the Riddler teaming up with office. And in the spirit of the trope, most of them have normal lives outside being supervillains that they return to when they're "off-hours".
* SkewedPriorities: Although they expelled Dr.
Psycho for being a misogynist, they only did it because he said the remainder.C-word, but they don't seem to care that he had Giganta as a hypnotized girlfriend.
* UncertainDoom:
** [[spoiler:The Joker blew up the Legion of Doom headquarters at the end of Season 1 and talks about the Legion like it's been destroyed, but no bodies are shown or specific deaths confirmed, so any number of the Legion's members could have survived or just been out of the building at the time.
]]
* DwindlingParty: By episode 7, Penguin is killed off relatively early, Riddler is captured by Harley's crew, ** Bane, Penguin, the Riddler, and Two-Face return in Season 2 -- with new addition Mr. Freeze sacrifices himself for his wife, Two-Face -- to form their new organization, the "Injustice League".
** Luthor later turns up just fine in Season 2's Episode 9, during an operation to take over Themyscira.
** Several more members turn up as guests at Ivy's (aborted) wedding, so we can assume that few if any were casualties of Joker's coup.
** As of Season 4, it turns out that the rebuilt Legion of Doom pretty much has the same lineup of supervillains as before, with Lex giving the reigns over to Poison Ivy, so the damage caused by Joker's scheme
is arrested by Gordon, negligible at best. [[spoiler:However, the feud between Luthor and Bane was last seen stuck Ivy boils over, causing Luthor to be banished to Apokolips by Steppenwolf and the main Legion headquarters (as well as several subsidiaries) being blasted to bits by Ivy using Luthor's laser weapon. It once again appears that the primary L.O.D. membership managed to escape unscathed thanks to an evacuation order broadcasted by Batgirl, but with the main leadership dismantled and their assets reduced to irradiated dust, the future of the villainous conglomerate again remains in a pit.

* LegionOfDoom: Albeit a smaller version, made up of only Gotham villains.WeirdTradeUnion: They function similar to this, including kicking out offending members publicly and sharing resources. See PunchClockVillain above.

The Clown Prince of Crime, Batman's ArchNemesis, and Harley's abusive ex. The show kicks off with Harley getting sick of Joker mistreating her and she leaves him to make a go of things solo. However, the Joker still holds a powerful emotional sway over Harley that influences her decisions, and he personally can't stand the idea of Harley leaving him and becoming successful on her own. This coupled with the fact he's one of the biggest names in supervillainy in the DC universe, and Joker and Harley have a very complex, antagonistic relationship.



* AdaptationalJerkass: On top of bearing none of the sympathetic qualities that made him a TragicVillain in the comics, this version of Dent is an extremely arrogant politician who is a SlaveToPR, willing to endanger hostages just to protect his political career. The only good thing you could say about pre-disfigurement Dent is that he's charming enough to be really good buddies with Gordon and doesn't seem to be on any sort of bad terms with Batman.
* AdaptationalLateAppearance: Two-Face is oridinarily one of Batman's earliest-encountered adversaries and was established to be responsible for killing the father of the second Robin Jason Todd, when "All the Best Inmates Have Daddy Issues" indicates that Dent in this continuity had yet to be disfigured and become Two-Face after the Joker had killed Jason Todd.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Unlike most depictions of Two-Face in comics and other media, Dent seems to lack the SplitPersonality that caused him to become Two-Face in the first place. [[spoiler:His moniker was implied to be based upon Harley's insult at him for being a two-faced politician.]] Also, only once does his trademark two-headed coin ever appear.
* AdaptationalUgliness: Looks more thuggish on ''both'' sides.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: His left half is a pale aquamarine color.
* AscendedExtra: He is little more than a {{mook}} for the Joker in one episode in Season 1. In Season 2, he becomes a founding member of the Injustice League, and becomes the de-facto leader once the Penguin and Mr. Freeze are killed and the Riddler is taken prisoner.
* BaldOfEvil: He's bald on the left half of his head.
* BrokenPedestal: When Harley first became a psychiatrist at Arkham, she looked up to Dent for his reputation as an honest politician. However, when Dent was willing to let a sniper shoot Harley to get at the Joker so he could protect his reputation, Harley gives Dent a SpitefulSpit and berates him as a "two-faced" crook.
* BullyingTheDragon: Despite the fact that Bane could easily snap him like a twig, he still bullies and heckles him at almost every turn.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Repeatedly betrays people that he works with, particularly in Season 3, something he repeatedly lampshades to dense ol' Gordon should be obvious in his name.
-->"Why? Why do you keep trusting me? My name is Two-Face. I almost feel like you're trolling me. Being two-faced is what I do! It's pretty straightforward!"\\
"Seriously? You're making this really not fun for me. "Two-Face" is my name!"
* TheCorrupter: As Jim Gordon's campaign manager in Season 3, he gets Gordon to become a sleazy, typical politician.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: Harley offhandedly remarks that Two-Face is blind in his left eye, something that is either implied or never brought up in previous adaptations[[note]]in fact, it's the Harley-centric graphic novel ''Comicbook/{{Harleen}}'' that touches upon the issue, by showing that Harvey's sight is damaged on the left eye due to it being bloodshot[[/note]].
* DiscOneFinalBoss:
** He's the leader of the Injustice League, but is ultimately arrested halfway through Season 2. [[spoiler:He still manages to cause havoc from behind bars however, as he manipulates Gordon into attacking Ivy's wedding in the finale.]]
** Gordon's subplot in Season 3 sees Two-Face acting as TheCorrupter, encouraging him to take morally dubious actions as part of his mayoral campaign and even going so far as to try to assassinate his rivals so Gordon can reinstate him as DA. Fortunately, his extremism gets Gordon to finally turn on him halfway through the season, leaving [[spoiler:Bruce's kidnapping of Frank]] as the main conflict.
* DueToTheDead: After [[spoiler:Mr. Freeze's death]], he keeps his seat open in his memory.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He agrees with the Scarecrow that the Joker's treatment of Bane is too harsh. [[{{Hypocrite}} Hypocritical]], considering how his own treatment of Bane isn't so different.
* EvilReactionary: Even prior to his deformation, he agreed with the use of torture on suspects and was pushing for a law to reduce the rights of prison inmates.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Two-Face is quite adept at faking friendliness to talk people into his way of thinking. [[EvilLawyerJoke Well, he was once a lawyer]].
* GunsAkimbo: He wields two guns simultaneously as part of his "duality" aesthetic.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Even before he got disfigured and became Two-Face he was still a {{slimeball}} who cared about nothing but his own self advancement.
* ManipulativeBastard: Plays Bane, Gordon and Harley with ease, never losing his cool while pushing them in the direction he wants them to go.
* MythologyGag: His attitude back as the DA and Harley's past view of him are much in line with Creator/DCBlackLabel's story ''ComicBook/{{Harleen}}''.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:To his credit, he did leave Mr. Freeze's seat open in memoriam of his death and was outraged when Bane tried to take the empty seat as his own.]]
* SlaveToPR: When he was still Harvey Dent, he ordered a sniper to shoot the Joker even when he took [[ShootTheHostage Harley as a hostage]], being more concerned about his PR at risk for letting the Joker escape.
* SleazyPolitician: When he was still Harvey Dent, he was the classic two-faced politician willing to kill complete innocents rather than risk losing popularity with the voters.
* TheSnackIsMoreInteresting: While still Harvey Dent, while watching Batman beat up the Joker for bringing up his murder of Jason Todd, he starts munching on licorice and asks if anyone wants some.
* SparedButNotForgiven: Even though Two-Face almost killed him and his stepson, Joker stops Gordon and Bethany from killing him. Joker admits he ''does'' want to kill Two-Face too, but doesn't believe it would solve anything.
* StealthPun: This version of the character is not just two-faced in the sense that he literally has two faces due to his partial deformity, but also in that he's a duplicitous, back-stabbing bastard.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In "A High Bar" he seemed to enjoy Harley's company and thinks the Joker's treatment of Bane and other supervillains is harsh and clearly disagrees with it. Season 2 goes pretty much the opposite route, depicting him as a sleazy, manipulative misogynist who goes out of his way to bully Bane and loathes Harley with a passion.
* TwoFaced: Being Two-Face, half of his face is hideously deformed.
* WouldHurtAChild: In Season 3, he [[IHaveYourWife takes Joker's young stepson hostage]] to threaten Joker into dropping out of the mayoral campaign and let Gordon win. After Joker easily agrees, Two-Face still tries to kill him and his stepson.

to:

* AceCustom: A lot, if not, all of the Joker's weapons and gear have his color motifs (green and purple) or his face on them.
* AcidAttack: He primarily uses acid as his main weapon, often to disolve his victim alive.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: During Season 2 when he's sane, amnesiac, and normal-looking, he's surprisingly handsome and fit. Every other occasion where he's depicted to have a normal appearance, he's always shown ranging from ordinary looking to utterly nerdy.
* AdaptationalJerkass: On top of bearing none of the sympathetic qualities He's even worse towards Harley here than he is in comic books. Joker is just as abusive and emotionally manipulative as normal, but his ego is so big that made the thought of Harley choosing to dump him a TragicVillain in drives him up the comics, this version wall. Joker thus takes greater pains to keep her around when the risk presents itself. His usual view of Dent is an extremely arrogant politician who is a SlaveToPR, willing to endanger hostages just to protect his political career. The only good thing you could say about pre-disfigurement Dent Harley is that he's charming enough she's a useful minion, but otherwise is as ambivalent about whether she leaves or not as he is about anything else. He tries killing her more out of principle than out of personal grievance, though the latter is certainly part of it.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: He's [[TookALevelInKindness mellowed out considerably]] after briefly losing his memories, and he genuinely comes
to be really good buddies love both Bethany and her kids, even if he still wants to continue living the life of a murderous supervillain. He also gives genuine advice to Harley regarding her relationship with Gordon Ivy. Compared to his comic book self in ''Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight'' where he went sane and doesn't seem to be on any sort of bad terms found love with Batman.a woman... only to completely regress back to being a homicidal monster while totally abandoning his new lover, this incarnation of Joker at least comes off as having become a ''mildly'' better person after regaining his memories.
* AdaptationalLateAppearance: Two-Face AffablyEvil: In Season 3, he's still a proud supervillain at heart, but now he's also a loving FamilyMan and a decent citizen who even tries to be nice to his new SitcomArchNemesis.
* AlphaBitch: Acts like every other villain -- even heavy-hitters like Two-Face, the Scarecrow, Bane and the Penguin --
is oridinarily one part of his devoted entourage or personal goon squad, and orders them around and mistreats them without any regard to their feelings, just because he's considered the #1 criminal in Gotham. Harley embarrasses him by publicly calling him out for being such a dick in "A High Bar", even referring to his behavior as bullying; although he tries to laugh the situation off, the others agree with her that he can be pretty cruel at times.
* AmbiguouslyBi: He is Harley's ex, but his relationship with Batman is treated romantically. Harley is also not convinced when he denies having sex with Bane and the Scarecrow. He also ends up falling in love and living with a nurse named Bethany, and stays with her even after his memories have been restored.
* AmnesiacsAreInnocent: Season 2 shows that being dunked into his own memory-wiping acid turned him into a kindhearted, normal everyman who genuinely cares about his girlfriend and her kids, pretty much the opposite of his usual persona, with no memory of being a supervillain.
* ArchEnemy:
** Batman, as usual. In fact The Joker is so obsessed with being
Batman's earliest-encountered adversaries main enemy that he actually takes offense at Harley attempting to replace him as such for Batman.
** He's also this to Harley Quinn. Joker abused
and manipulated Harley when she was established his underling, with season 1 revolving around Harley trying to be responsible for killing the father get out of the second Robin Jason Todd, when "All the Best Inmates Have Daddy Issues" indicates that Dent in this continuity had yet to be disfigured and become Two-Face Joker's shadow after breaking up with him, while the Joker had killed Jason Todd.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Unlike most depictions of Two-Face in comics and other media, Dent seems
attempts to lack the SplitPersonality that caused him outdo Harley at every turn when he's unable to become Two-Face control her, eventually culminating in the first place. [[spoiler:His moniker was implied two trying to be based upon kill each other in the finale. While their mutual enmity seemingly mellows out after Harley brings back the Joker, her hatred for him returns in season 4 when Joker [[spoiler: cripples Barbara Gordon in front of Harley, whom Harley had befriended]].
* ArcVillain: The Joker is the main antagonist of Season 1 as Harley comes to grips with life outside of their relationship. He still tries to get her back, and when that fails, [[IfICantHaveYou tries to kill her as punishment for daring to leave him]].
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: While he points out how Ivy is manipulating Harley towards her own goals like he used to, the Joker brings up one important question that calls
Harley's insult at true feelings about Ivy's ambitions into question: when has Harley ever forgotten her baseball bat?
* AttentionWhore: He doesn't like ''any'' other villain hogging up the news spotlight. Harley doing it just rubs salt in the wound.
* AxCrazy: As per the norm with the Joker, he's sadistic, unpredictable, and kills almost anyone near
him ([[BadBoss even his own men]]) without any thought or reason, even labeling himself an "[[Film/TheDarkKnight agent of chaos]]".
* BadBoss: He shoots and blows up his own goons whenever he feels annoyed or bored.
* BadassInANiceSuit: As is usual
for being the character, the Joker takes charge as an A-list villain in a two-faced politician.]] Also, sharp purple suit and tie.
* BaitTheDog: Throughout most of "A Seat at the Table", Joker treats Harley with respect, acknowledges her accomplishments, and acts as if he finally takes her seriously as a fellow supervillain instead of a disposable minion. Near the end, he does what Harley always dreamed about by taking her with him to escape from Batman instead of leaving her behind... And then pushes Harley out of the helicopter. As Batman says to Harley, some things never change.
-->'''Joker''': Oh, Harley! I couldn't leave you on that boat, I need you... [[ThrowTheDogABone for this.]]\\
''[Joker kisses Harley, and then sees the Batwing fly close by]''\\
'''Joker''': '''AND ''[[YankTheDogsChain THIS!]]'''''\\
''[throwing Harley off the helicopter, the Joker laughs maniacally as he watches her descent]''
* TheBartender: His sane self shows up working as a bartender in season 2.
* BeingGoodSucks: While his attempt to become a (slightly) better person was genuine, even if he was

* AdaptationalUgliness: Looks more thuggish BerserkButton: Scarecrow unmasking Batman makes him absolutely ''furious,'' completely going off on ''both'' sides.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: His left
him, ranting that half is a pale aquamarine color.
* AscendedExtra: He is little more than a {{mook}} for
the Joker in one episode in Season 1. In Season 2, he becomes a founding member fun of the Injustice League, and becomes the de-facto leader once the Penguin and Mr. Freeze are killed and the Riddler is taken prisoner.
* BaldOfEvil: He's bald on the left half of his head.
* BrokenPedestal: When Harley first became a psychiatrist at Arkham, she looked up to Dent for his reputation as an honest politician. However, when Dent
their rivalry was willing to let a sniper shoot Harley to get at the Joker so he could protect his reputation, Harley gives Dent a SpitefulSpit and berates him as a "two-faced" crook.
* BullyingTheDragon: Despite
the fact that Bane could no one knew who Batman was.
-->'''Joker:''' Now I know Batman's just some boring rich asshole with parental issues.
* BigBadWannabe: The Joker become this for Season 4 when his attempts to regain his infamy backfire. The Joker is unable to kill Nightwing, instead taking credit for the murder, which leads to the rest of the villains losing respect for him when they learn the truth. While he does manage to [[spoiler: cripple Barbara Gordon]], he is
easily dealt with in the next episode, and it is ultimately Lex Luthor who becomes the biggest threat to Harley.
* BroughtDownToNormal: In "The Final Joke" he makes a chemical bath to erase Harley's memories and distinctive bleached skin, to turn her into a "nobody" he won't have to care about anymore. At the end of the episode, Harley and Ivy throw him into it instead, reducing him to his regular amnesiac Pre-Joker rather than the Clown Prince of Crime.
* TheBully: He takes every chance he gets trying to belittle, upstage, sabotage, and/or humiliate Harley. He does this whether she's attending a bar mitzvah or stealing a nuclear warhead from the Russians. He's hardly any better to his peers in the Legion of Doom, as he casually bosses them around, insults them to their faces, and [[EnemyEatsYourLunch steals food right off their plates]]. With Harley, ItsPersonal for having the audacity to dump him.
* BullyingADragon: Insults and orders around his fellow villains but especially Bane-who could
snap him like a twig, in half without Venom. Clearly they only put up with him out of fear, until Harley points out that he has no powers whatsoever, and they don't have to listen to him.
* CannotTellAJoke: While
he still bullies gets a few good ones, this incarnation of the Joker is just plain bad at most of his jokes. The media consider Riddler funnier, and heckles he can't stand it when Harley says one of his stories is hilarious but doesn't laugh. At one point, he explains to a captive Gotham that his off-screen henchmen found his last joke funny, though no laughter could be heard.
* TheConfidant: The sane Joker, of all people, is the one who offers to lend an ear to Harley's love life problems with Ivy.
* ConsummateLiar: Whenever the Joker makes a confession or promise, especially to Harley, you can be sure he's telling lies to manipulate her. As Ivy says, the Joker always lies should be surprise to no one but Harley.
* CrazyJealousGuy: When he finds out Batman didn't come to stop
him from robbing a bank because he's fighting Harley, he gets pissed off at almost every turn.
Harley trying to steal "his" Batman.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Repeatedly betrays people DirtyCommunists: Parodied. Joker's mayoral platform is explicitly leftist, but it's unremarkable "sewer socialism" that aims to benefit the city through stronger infrastructure and civic programs (universal health care, bilingual schooling), paid for by higher taxation on Gotham's many wealthy citizens. Though he makes a show of [[JustLikeRobinHood direct wealth distribution]], his campaign being structured like a reign of terror is completely unrelated to any ideology; it's just because he's the Joker. [[spoiler:And, conversely, though he's pretty callous in breaking the news to Gordon, abolishing the police department isn't even revenge on Jim or a pretense to commit crime -- it IS ideological.]]
-->'''Suave:''' You want the rich to pay for all this? Are you, like, a socialist?\\
'''Joker:''' I'm not ''like'' a socialist...\\
''[He grins at the camera as a comically overblown scare chord plays]''\\
'''Joker:''' I AM a socialist.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: He cannot stand raisins. When Harley gave him pudding full of chocolate chips in "Til Death Do Us Part", he is so riled up by the Riddler's newfound infamy
that he works with, particularly in Season 3, something is quick to assume the pudding has raisins instead and ''[[DisproportionateRetribution shoots it to crumbs.]]''
* DomesticAbuse: During his entire relationship with Harley,
he emotionally manipulated, lied, and repeatedly lampshades abandoned her. Harley put up with it for so long because [[MadLove she deluded herself into thinking he loved her]]. This lasts until Joker doesn't hesitate to dense ol' drop her into what both think is acid just so the Riddler doesn't take the credit for killing Batman. It pisses Joker off so much when she finally leaves him that he sics his goons on her (which only leads to his men getting killed and his evil lair destroyed). In any case, the Joker is presented as an abuser, and that it's a good thing that Harley is getting away from him.
* TheDreaded: Why he can act like an AlphaBitch and order around even Gotham A-Listers like they're cannon fodder -- he pretty clearly scares the hell out of them. It doesn't last though, when Harley points out to the other Gotham supervillains that he's being a bully to people stronger than him.
* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: Bethany and her two children love him and happily accept him as part of their family even after he's turned back evil. Joker returns the love by being a loving husband and father while still being a maniac.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Even after returning to his original evil self, Joker still loves Bethany and her kids. He admits nothing will ever change him being a murderous psycho, but he has found people he truly cares about for the first time. After returning to villainy, he balances his life with being a good husband and father.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** He's genuinely disturbed at Commissioner Gordon's SanitySlippage because in his eyes, all he did was "paralyze" his "partner". Now keep in mind that he ''intended'' to drive
Gordon should be obvious crazy in his name.
-->"Why? Why do you keep trusting me? My name is Two-Face. I almost feel like you're trolling me. Being two-faced is what I do! It's pretty straightforward!"\\
"Seriously? You're making
the source material, so either this really was not fun the amount of crazy he aimed for me. "Two-Face" or [[ButForMeItWasTuesday this was collateral damage for something that happened along the way]].
** He complains about the Queen of Fables indulging in alcohol, saying it's only Wednesday.
** He complains to Bruce Wayne about Wayne Tech not having yet delivered their promised electric cars despite having put down a deposit, meaning not only
is my name!"
* TheCorrupter: As Jim
Joker environmentally conscious enough to drive an electric car, but he was also willing to pay for it rather than steal one.
** He expresses disgust to Gordon for Two-Face,
Gordon's campaign manager manager, taking his son hostage and threatening to kill him.
* EvilFeelsGood: Despite trying to become a somewhat better person for Bethany the Joker reminiscences about his past life as a villain after finding his new occupation as Mayor of Gotham City to be boring and enjoys killing the gardener boring him so much so that he decides to return to his villainous ways and is ecstatic that he is able to convince his new family to follow him in this kind of thinking.
* EvilIsPetty: After becoming mayor of Gotham in season three, he has the favorite parking space of a RichBitch who was rude to him designated as the exclusive parking space of Gotham's mayor.
* EvilLaugh: He wouldn't be the Joker without it.
* EvilParentsWantGoodKids: Even though he's Gotham's top supervillain, all he wants for his stepchildren is good education and a bright future.
* ExBigBad: Joker was the main antagonist of the first season, but he spent all of the second season as an {{Amnesiac|sAreInnocent}} GenericGuy, then in season three became a semi-reformed FamilyMan. Though he can still be a threat and Harley is vehemently against him being [[MayorPain mayor of Gotham]], his relationship with Harley has mellowed to the point that she can casually ask him for advice about other criminals in Gotham now. Even when he decides to go back to his villainous ways, he is treated more as a BigBadWannabe that nobody fears or respects.
* FamilyValuesVillain: As an amnesiac, Joker finds himself a nice girlfriend and loves her two kids as if they were his own. After Harley turns him back into his evil self, Joker still loves his new family and does his best to be a good suburban dad for them, even though he doesn't give up his loony streak.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He can act nice when he wants to, but it's plainly obvious that said niceness is simply his way of mocking others.
* FoeRomanceSubtext: As Harley notes, the Joker "only loves Batman". In one episode, he breaks into a fight between Harley and Batman and raves at her about trying to steal "his Batman" and proclaims on national television that he and Batman are "together".
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Despite his status as #1 criminal in Gotham, most if not all the rest of the rogues fear or just straight-up dislike him either because of his DomesticAbuse on Harley, or just [[WithFriendsLikeThese because he's a dick]]. To illustrate this trope, when Harley jokes with the Scarecrow, Two-Face, and Bane, they laugh in genuine humor. But when the Joker mocks Harley, their laughs sound more forced.
* GoodFeelsGood: Played with. After losing his memories, he spends an idyllic six months as a NiceGuy suburban dad. When he gets his memories back, he decides that it was a much better and healthier lifestyle than his previous one... and decided to be both an ideal husband and father with a loving family and an A-list supervillain. In Season 3, he's actually making it work. [[spoiler: Eventually {{subverted}} in season 4 when he realizes BeingGoodSucks and goes back to being a villain]].
* GoodStepmother: A male example. He really loves his girlfriend's children and they quickly accept him because he got them a puppy. Impressively, he manages to keep it going even after he gets his previous memories back and becomes a supervillain again.
* HateSink: Since this series is the story of Harley Quinn breaking free of Joker's grip on her, he's made as despicable as possible to heighten the catharsis of her triumphs. The Joker's DomesticAbuser traits are ramped up to make him a misogynistic asshole who treats Harley like a piece of property, to say nothing of his hatred for women in general. He's a raging narcissist who makes everything about himself and cares for no one else, and the usual [[TheDreaded dominance and fear]] he evokes in his fellow supervillains is framed like a petty AlphaBitch bossing around their cronies. And he also retains his usual shtick of being a mass-murdering cackling psychopath. All of this is done with the intention of making Joker unsympathetic and make Harley's victories more meaningful. He drops several of his more unpleasant traits upon his return in season 2. He's still a mass-murdering psychopath, but his time with Bethany while amnesiac makes him realize what true love is. He also no longer is focused on or seemingly even interested in claiming Harley like property. Rather shockingly, he veers completely away from this
in Season 3, as he gets Gordon to become becomes a sleazy, typical politician.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: Harley offhandedly remarks that Two-Face is blind in
legitimate family man who genuinely loves his left eye, something that is either implied or never brought new girlfriend and step-children, even if he hasn't completely given up in previous adaptations[[note]]in fact, it's the Harley-centric graphic novel ''Comicbook/{{Harleen}}'' that touches upon the issue, by showing that Harvey's sight is damaged on the left eye due committing crimes.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: After recovering from his amnesia Joker sticks
to it being bloodshot[[/note]].
* DiscOneFinalBoss:
**
a loving husband and stepfather to the family that took him in rather than return to his supervillain lifestyle, losing his PoliticallyIncorrectVillain traits and successfully running for mayor to combat racism in schools. He's the leader of the Injustice League, but is ultimately arrested halfway through Season 2. [[spoiler:He still manages considered enough of a supervillain to cause havoc from behind bars however, host the Villy Awards and robs banks as he manipulates part of his mayoral campaign, but has so far not (intentionally) murdered anyone, even going so far as to stop Gordon into attacking Ivy's wedding in the finale.from killing Two-Face. [[spoiler:Come season 4, he decides to return to villainy, and he convinces his new family to join him.]]
* HesBack: In the Season 2 finale, Harley reluctantly shoves a sane amnesiac Joker into the acid vat in order to restore his memories, being that only the Joker knows where the Justice League is being imprisoned. Luckily, his six months of amnesia left an impression, and while he's still a highly dangerous supervillain, he's much less of a jerk.
** Gordon's subplot And again in Season 3 sees Two-Face acting as TheCorrupter, encouraging 4, when he announces his return to villainy by claiming [[spoiler: he killed Nightwing, later revealed to be a lie]].
* HeroKiller: Like in many continuities, it's established that he has killed the second Robin Jason Todd. He also claims to have killed [[spoiler: Nightwing]] offscreen, though Barbara quickly proves that [[spoiler: he was lying about killing Nightwing]].
* HijackedByGanon:
** In the second half of the first season, the focus shifted from
him to take morally dubious Lex Luthor as the main villain, as Luthor is the one manipulating Harley and Ivy and is implied to be behind the abduction of Ivy via the Scarecrow. Then the penultimate episodes of the season reveals the Scarecrow was actually working for ''him'', and he blows up the Legion of Doom and becomes the FinalBoss of the season.
** Subverted in the second season. Harley reverses his amnesia in a GodzillaThreshold moment to help deal with Dr. Psycho, but rather than becoming the new BigBad (as one would normally expect from him), he's been changed enough by his time without his memories to remain a help rather than a hindrance. They even part on reasonably cordial terms once she no longer needs his assistance.
* HypocriticalHumor: He says women cannot be funny, meanwhile his favorite movie is ''Film/LegallyBlonde''.
** After successfully stealing a nuclear bomb Harley failed to make off with, Harley accuses him of only being successful because he has a bunch of goons who do whatever he says. The Joker denies this, and then orders his goons to throw Harley out the door, and they respond "Whatever you say."
* IGaveMyWord: The only good thing that can be said about him was that he kept his promise and released Harley's crew when she turned herself over to him and wore her old costume.
* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: When he was with Harley, he only used her as a plaything for mind games and abuse because she was fascinated with the famous killer clown and believed anything he told her that would make her feel needed. With his new girlfriend Bethany, he met and fell in love with her when he was an amnesiac average Joe and her headstrong personality won't ever let him manipulate her like he did with Harley.
* {{Irony}}: In most of the history of the franchise, it's an established fact that Joker cares nothing for Harley and is solely fixated on Batman. Here for the bulk of season 1 Joker cares more about getting back at Harley while being as apathetic towards his nemesis as he usually is to Harley even when he has him dead to rights.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Batman and Harley describe him as a sociopathic narcissist, and his portrayal in the show embodies both the sociopath and the narcissist. He forces people to go along with whatever he's doing, and what upsets him more than anything else is Harley getting away from him to be her own superperson, whether heroic or villainous. Even regarding Batman, he doesn't give a damn who he is or why he exists, only that he exists for his own rivalry and amusement. This seems to no longer be the case after he regains his memories, as the affection he developed towards Bethany and her kids while sane remained even though he has no intentions of turning back from being a supervillain.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's a slimy, spiteful and manipulative misogynist who verbally abuses even the villains he calls friends. and murders his own henchmen at random.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: After being brought back by Harley, The Joker gets a happy life with a family who loves him, becomes Mayor of Gotham City, and manages to defeat his ArchEnemy by having him arrested for tax evasion, all while receiving no punishment for his past
actions in season 1... that is, until season 4. The Joker becomes completely bored with his new life and success, the rest of the villains lose their respect and fear of him, Batgirl humiliates him on a podcast, and eventually Harley kidnaps the Joker and hands him over to Jim Gordon so that he can get his revenge on The Joker for [[spoiler: crippling his daughter]].
* KavorkaMan: Despite his clownish looks, he is able to charm women to him, not easily but good enough.
* KickTheDog: He shoots and cripples [[spoiler:Batgirl]] towards the end of Season 4.
* KillAndReplace: The very first scene of the series shows him killing a guy and making a literal bodysuit out of his skin.
* LaughingMad: He's usually less prone to it than other versions, but any chance he gets to do something exceptionally cruel to others ''really'' sets him off; after [[spoiler:murdering Ivy with a harpoon and seeing Harley break down in tears]], he can barely do anything but cackle at her grief.
* LostPetGrievance: His FreudianExcuse story has his AbusiveDad killing his beloved pet ferret. Of course, it's a subversion because that story was actually about Ivy's ficus and Joker just stole it to buy Harleen's sympathy.
* LoveEpiphany: He starts bringing up his relationship with Bethany seemingly just to taunt Harley about it only to realize mid-thought that he actually ''was'' in love with her.
* LoveIsAWeakness: In the SeasonFinale, he claims he was in love with Harley, which he views as a weakness that he must eliminate. His time while amnesiac with Bethany makes him realize what true love is upon his return in season two.
* LoveRedeems: He doesn't plan to quit being a supervillain, but falling in love with Bethany and becoming a stepfather to her children has significantly softened him by season 3. He lives as a suburban dad who tries to get along with everyone for the sake of his family and only robs a bank
as part of his mayoral campaign when he decides to run for mayor for the sake of improving his stepchildren's education.
* MadeOfIron: Survived both a chemical bathe,
and even going so far as being at the center of a city leveling earthquake.
* MakeUpIsEvil: Harley says he always stole her lipstick. He also seems
to try wear eyeshadow.
* MayorPain: Shockingly subverted when he becomes Gotham's new mayor in Season 3. Despite him having been a mass-murdering psychopath just two seasons ago, he actually genuinely works
to assassinate reform Gotham for the better and is adored by the public for it.
* MonsterClown: Wouldn't be the Joker without it. He still maintains
his rivals so Gordon can reinstate him as DA. Fortunately, usual shtick of flowers that shoot acid, bad jokes, and deadly pranks. However, these traits are toned down in favor of his extremism gets Gordon to {{Jerkass}} and {{Domestic Abuse}}r behavior.
* MundaneSolution: How does The Joker
finally turn on defeat Batman after spending all this time fighting him? Get Batman arrested for tax evasion while he's still under his civilian identity, Bruce Wayne. Though to Joker's credit, he might not have been able to do this before becoming mayor and learning about Batman's secret identity really Scarecrow.
* {{Narcissist}}: Referred to as one by Harley and Batman. All the Joker cares about is himself, getting what he wants and having all the power and attention of Gotham for himself. His relationship with Bethany ends up pushing
him halfway through out of it, giving him people he actually cares about more than his own wants.
* NoHonorAmongThieves: Forced Harley to fend off Batman to buy him enough time to escape and never even bothered to come back for her despite his promises to do so.
* NotMeThisTime: [[spoiler: It turns out that he didn't actually kill Nightwing despite insisting that he did, but rather it was an insomniac Harley Quinn]].
* NotSoDifferentRemark: At
the season, leaving [[spoiler:Bruce's kidnapping end of Frank]] as Season 3, Joker tells Ivy that her treatment of Harley isn't that much different or less toxic from how he emotionally manipulated her and dragged her into a life of crime she didn't really want, even if Ivy does love Harley and isn't intentionally controlling her like he did. Although Ivy wanted to believe she and Harley are a villain couple of equals, she realizes Joker might be right since Harley has been acting more like a hero than a villain lately yet she's forcing herself to follow Ivy's villainous ambitions because she doesn't want to lose her.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: While he does become a BigBadWannabe in Season 4 who loses
the main conflict.
respect of his previous peers, especially after Batgirl reveals to the world that he didn't actually kill [[spoiler: Nightwing]], he's still, The Joker, who can easily become a dangerous threat if pushed too far. He did [[DisproportionateRetribution murder an innocent gardener for simply boring him]] while also managing to [[spoiler: cripple Barbara as revenge for humiliating him in a podcast]].
* DueToTheDead: TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: He would readily choose to have his PerkyFemaleMinion killed before letting another supervillain have the glory of killing his ArchNemesis Batman.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He's in such a funk over Harley that when he tortures Batman and murders the Scarecrow, he's just bored.
* PapaWolf: A psychopath MonsterClown he may be, he's a good step-father to his girlfriend's children and will ''not'' let any harm aimed towards them slide. When Two-Face kidnaps Benicio, the Joker rushes to the rescue in a heartbeat and was ready to drop the elections for Mayor for his safety.
* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: His CharacterDevelopment by the third season has him becoming more progressive. He is disgusted with Debbie Shirley for being a racist Karen, advocates for his Hispanic girlfriend's children to get a bilingual education so they can stay in touch with their cultural roots and successfully runs for mayor of Gotham City on a socialist platform, with his policies focused on helping the working class and providing the incarcerated with more humane treatment. In "The Horse and the Sparrow", he is also considerate enough to acknowledge the existence of non-binary people when he says "Ladies and gentlemen", plus the tie-in comic miniseries ''Legion of Bats'' shows him officiating an interracial gay wedding.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: As well as his long history of abusing Harley, the Joker is shown to be pretty slimy and misogynistic in general; when one of his henchmen suggests Harley is the funniest criminal in Gotham, he repeatedly shoots the guy in the chest, saying "women aren't funny" with the same dismissive tone a chauvanistic stand-up comedian might use when talking about female comics.
* {{Pride}}: His defining trait. The Joker won't ever accept anyone as his equal and has zero respect for his minions and other supervillains. Harley dumping him infuriates him because she's his "creation" and he won't ever accept her gaining independence from him. Even when pretending to praise Harley, he won't call her better than him.
* PsychopathicManchild: At his core, he's an overgrown, attention-seeking brat whose favorite game is brutally massacring people and playing with their minds.
* RedemptionFailure: In Season 4, he starts to find the job of a benign mayor boring compared to his villainy days and reverts to his evil ways by killing an innocent citizen for fun.
* RefreshinglyNormalLifeChoice:
After [[spoiler:Mr. Freeze's death]], he keeps being cured of his seat open physical and mental abnormalities in the Season One finale, The Joker lives his memory.
life as [[AmnesiacsAreInnocent a boring, but compassionate amnesiac]] living out domestic bliss with a girlfriend and her two kids. After Harley "cures" him of this in "[[Recap/HarleyQuinn2019S2E11AFightWorthFightingFor A Fight Worth Fighting For]]", he breaks up with her, only to realize that he actually found genuine love and apologizes to her, deciding to go back to being Joker while also enjoying a life with a family.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: RetiredMonster: The Joker gives up on his previous life of villainy to become a family man before becoming a surprisingly competent mayor for Gotham City despite the fact he never showed any regret or remorse for all the atrocities that he had committed during that time. In fact, he actually reminiscences on his villainous days in season 4 and finds his newfound life to be so boring that he decides to come out of retirement and become a villain again.
* SecretIdentityApathy: His already foul mood in "The Final Joke" is made considerably worse when the Scarecrow rips off Batman's cowl, as "half the fun" of their rivalry was not knowing that Batman was "some boring rich asshole with parental issues". Even after killing Scarecrow and still having Bruce at his mercy, rather than twist the knife over his enemy's childhood trauma, he just goes off on a petty rant about how [=WayneTech=] hasn't delivered on an electric car they promised last year.
* TheSociopath: Pretty much standard for the Joker.
He agrees talks about the horrible things he does with a blase demeanor, treats violence as a joke, manipulates Harley, is incredibly prideful, treats his own minions like they're disposable (if he doesn't outright kill them himself for petty reasons), is unpredictably violent, bullies his own colleagues, and shows no remorse for anything he does. Both Batman and Harley describe him as a "sociopathic narcissist" in the Season One finale. He's still a violent serial killer upon his return in season two, but he actually seems to edge a bit away from this trope by wishing to maintain his connection with Bethany and her kids, seemingly showing that he's developed the capacity to care about other people.
* SplitPersonalityTakeover: PlayedWith. At the end of the first SeasonFinale, the Joker is rendered an amnesiac and completely sane. In season 2, Harley finds him as a normal man, but his original evil personality is still there, just dormant. The Joker's personality effectively regains full control after Harley pushes him into a chemical bath so that he can remember the location of the imprisoned Justice League. It's PlayedWith because while he tries to convince others that his normal persona meant nothing, the love that he developed for his new family as a normal man comes rushing back after he becomes the Joker again.
* TheStarscream: It's revealed in "Devil's Snare" that he plotted
with the Scarecrow that and the Joker's treatment Queen of Bane Fables to destroy the Legion of Doom and replace it with an organization devoted entirely to him.
* StatusQuoIsGod: PlayedWith. In Season 2, Joker becomes a sane amnesiac. He's back to being the Joker by the end of Season 2, but he's irreversibly changed by his experiences with Bethany and her children, becoming much less concerned with supervillainy and more with being a good stepfather and mayor.
* StealingTheCredit: To make it back quickly to the top of the supervillain world, he claims to have killed Nightwing. This
is too harsh. [[{{Hypocrite}} Hypocritical]], later revealed to be a lie and the real killer was [[spoiler:Harley]].
* StickyBomb: His favored weapon seems to be sticky explosive discs with his face plastered on them. His use of them actually causes his downfall in the first episode, as Harley steals a few from a crate full of them to destroy his hideout.
* TakingYouWithMe: Tries to inflict this on Harley, Ivy, Batman and seemingly ''all of Gotham'' as his final criminal act before his DeathOfPersonality.
* TookALevelInKindness: A ''very'' minor but noticeable one upon his return in season two. He's still a {{Jerkass}} and serial killer, but he seems to no longer be obsessed with possessing Harley,
considering how that he gives her some legitimate advice regarding her relationship with Poison Ivy. He also still wants to make his own treatment of Bane isn't so different.
* EvilReactionary:
relationship with Bethany and her kids work, while he originally was completely obsessed with himself and Batman. It ends up being culminative by Season 3, as he's begun prioritizing his family's well-being over traditional supervillainy. The worst he does is commit robberies in order to fund his mayoral campaign. Even prior to his deformation, he agreed with the use of torture on suspects and was pushing for a law to reduce the rights of prison inmates.
* FauxAffablyEvil:
after Two-Face is quite adept at faking friendliness to talk people into his way of thinking. [[EvilLawyerJoke Well, he was once a lawyer]].
* GunsAkimbo: He wields two guns simultaneously as part of his "duality" aesthetic.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Even before he got disfigured
kidnaps and became Two-Face he was still a {{slimeball}} who cared about nothing but his own self advancement.
* ManipulativeBastard: Plays Bane, Gordon and Harley with ease, never losing his cool while pushing them in the direction he wants them to go.
* MythologyGag: His attitude back as the DA and Harley's past view of him are much in line with Creator/DCBlackLabel's story ''ComicBook/{{Harleen}}''.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:To his credit, he did leave Mr. Freeze's seat open in memoriam of his death and was outraged when Bane tried to take the empty seat as his own.]]
* SlaveToPR: When he was still Harvey Dent, he ordered a sniper to shoot the Joker even when he took [[ShootTheHostage Harley as a hostage]], being more concerned about his PR at risk for letting the Joker escape.
* SleazyPolitician: When he was still Harvey Dent, he was the classic two-faced politician willing
tries to kill complete innocents rather than risk losing popularity with the voters.
* TheSnackIsMoreInteresting: While still Harvey Dent, while watching Batman beat up the Joker for bringing up his murder of Jason Todd, he starts munching on licorice and asks if anyone wants some.
* SparedButNotForgiven: Even though Two-Face almost killed him and
his stepson, Joker stops ''stops'' Gordon and Bethany from killing him. Joker admits he ''does'' want him.
* TroubledButCute: What attracted Harley
to kill Two-Face too, but doesn't believe it would solve anything.
* StealthPun: This version of
him was believing the character is not just two-faced in the sense possibility that he literally has two faces due to was a human being traumatized in his partial deformity, but also childhood and in that he's a duplicitous, back-stabbing bastard.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In "A High Bar"
need of her help. Hearing his FreudianExcuse story with an AbusiveParent made her think she was right about him until Ivy reveals he seemed simply stole ''her'' FreudianExcuse to enjoy buy Harley's company and thinks the Joker's treatment of Bane and sympathy.
* TruerToTheText: In a weird way, him getting
other supervillains is harsh his StrawMisogynist characterization and clearly disagrees with it. Season 2 goes pretty much the opposite route, depicting him as becoming a sleazy, manipulative misogynist who goes out of PoliticallyCorrectVillain after his way to bully Bane and loathes Harley with a passion.
* TwoFaced: Being Two-Face, half of his face is hideously deformed.
* WouldHurtAChild: In Season 3, he [[IHaveYourWife takes Joker's young stepson hostage]] to threaten
amnesia had this effect, since in most depictions The Joker into dropping is a MisanthropeSupreme who would never single out one group of people as being inferior to another because he sees' all life as equally inferior.
* {{Understatement}}: He "paralyzed" Commissioner Gordon's "partner" and he's not sure why
the commissioner's gone so crazy from it.
* UniversallyBelovedLeader: Surprisingly, even though he has been the worst supervillain in Gotham City for years, Joker manages to win over the public during his
mayoral campaign and let Gordon win. After the citizens adore him.
* VagueAge: The Scarecrow specifically says the
Joker easily agrees, Two-Face still tries to kill is 38 years old while the Clown Prince himself swears that off, saying he is only 25 years old. That goes in hand with the eternal mythos that he will never have a definitive background, and later with the updated lore that there might be even more than one person being the Joker.
* VictoryIsBoring: Once he has imprisoned Batman and exposed his identity in the Season 1 finale, he finds
him boring and loses interest. That said, at the time this happens he is more obsessed with breaking Harley, enough so that it overrides even his stepson.rivalry with Batman.
* VillainousBreakdown: In the Season 1 finale, being faced with [[FateWorseThanDeath turning back to normal]] leaves him begging for his life.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Even among the villains he calls his friends, the Joker is casually rude and verbally abusive, and they just take it until Harley convinces them to stand up to him. He also kills Scarecrow without second thought when he unmasks Batman to improve the Joker's mood.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JamesAdomian
A villain hyped up on Venom, which gives him SuperStrength.
Creator/GiancarloEsposito
Superman's ArchEnemy, CEO of [=LexCorp=], and leader of the Legion of Doom.



* AdaptationalBadass: He might be the NoRespectGuy among the villains, but in terms of sheer strength, he is much stronger than his comic counterpart, overpowering Batman when he is using a suit of PoweredArmor.
* AdaptationalDumbass: Far from the calculating genius Bane was in the comics, this Bane is a childish oaf. [[CharacterDevelopment As the series goes on]], however, it's demonstrated that Bane is actually ''very'' intelligent and surprisingly pragmatic (he allows his goons to use Venom, which is normally his trump card, and he's fairly successful at rehabilitating other criminals)... it's only when he uses his intelligence in the service of villainy that he stumbles.
* AffablyEvil: For a ruthless villain, he's a rather pleasant and polite fellow. It's telling that he actually gets invited to Ivy's wedding, even though he helped put Harley on ice.
* BadBoss: When [[spoiler: King Shark]] takes too long to plant a bomb, Bane remotely detonates it, not caring that he grievously wounded his henchman.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He steps on defenseless fishes just to be an asshole to Aquaman.
* BerserkButton:
** After all the disrespect that gets heaped on him, what ends up really setting him off in a deadly rampage is realizing that a colleague blatantly lied to him.
** [[GrammarNazi Improper grammar]], especially [[PrepositionsAreNotToEndSentencesWith ending sentences with a preposition]] and saying "anyways" instead of "anyway".
** [[BuffySpeak That thing where]] you say goodbye to someone and then end up walking in the same direction.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's shown to be surprisingly affable with his fellow villains, but his answer to anything or anyone that mildly offends him is to try to blow them up.
* BombThrowingAnarchist: [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]], whenever something mildly upsets Bane, his immediate response is to threaten to blow whatever's upsetting him up.
* BullyMagnet: Every other villain goes out of their way to bully and insult Bane. His fellow members of the Injustice League continually mock him and [[EvilIsPetty give him a cheap chair to sit on because it looks funny.]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer: In spite of his dim and genial demeanor, Bane is surprisingly competent at a large number of fields. He manages to run one of the most successful gangs in Gotham, crushes Batman in combat, and turned the Pit into a highly successful prisoner-reform center.
* ButtMonkey: Despite his status in the Legion of Doom, he is still a StrawLoser who gets no respect.
* CelebrityCrush: On Creator/BrettGoldstein, who he attempts to have sex with [[ItMakesSenseInContext while temporarily transformed into a massively horny]] {{Kaiju}}.
* ChewingTheScenery: During a KangarooCourt trial involving Harley and Ivy.
-->"I sentence them to liiiiiiife... in prison of course."
* ClimaxBoss: For the Injustice League story arc. He's the last member faced by Harley and Ivy as Two-Face himself is taken down by Gordon, [[spoiler:and escaping the Pit prompts the pair's first kiss that sets the stage for the rest of the season's conflict.]]
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: The Joker tells him that Harley has HPV. Bane isn't sure how this matters, because he's pretty sure most sexually active adults have it.
* CompositeCharacter: Combines the classic Venom-using Bane with the ComicallySerious Bane from ''ComicBook/SecretSix'', with an exaggerated love of explosions and Tom Hardy's voice and eloquence from ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''.
* CowardlyLion: Bane takes a lot of crap from other villains who don't take him seriously. Yet when he actually gets into a fight in "Batman's Back, Man" he turns out be powerful enough to inflict a CurbStompBattle on Batman.
* CurbStompBattle: Faces Batman in "Batman's Back, Man." While Batman has a suit of PoweredArmor, Bane destroys him when he goes all out on Venom, leaves the suit so damaged it cannot operate, and leaves Batman with both his knees broken.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Blew up Gotham stadium because he got a Trivia Night question wrong, and then threatens to blow up the Penguin's nephew's bar mitzvah because Harley and the other villains made fun of him. As the series progresses, he threatens to blow up pretty much anything that mildly offends him.
* DoWrongRight: His reaction to Joshua putting a hit out on Harley using a Legion of Doom credit card is indignant scolding. Why? Because he left a paper trail by using the credit card (along with using it for frivolous purchases), rather than using cash.
* DumbassHasAPoint: He suggests that he and Two-Face team up to better prepare for Harley attempting to kill them, which Two-Face only begrudgingly does while making every effort to minimize him.
* EasilyForgiven: Despite locking Harley and Ivy in a high-security prison and generally antagonizing them for a whole season, he gets invited to Ivy and Kite Man's wedding.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: For all his faults, he mentions having a close relationship with his aunt.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's quite offended when the Joker badmouths the Penguin's nephew's bar mitzvah, recognizing the occasion as an important milestone.
* EvilBrit: Speaks with the quasi-British accent made famous by Creator/TomHardy's portrayal of the character. This is somewhat confusing, as it becomes evident later that this Bane is also Latino, like in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', [[spoiler:if the calavera-bearing papel picado strung about his slice of Gotham is anything to go by.]]
* EvilIsPetty: Pretty much any minor embarrassment Bane suffers -- losing a bar trivia game, being laughed at at a bar mitzvah, having a teenage employee call him "Bang" when he's a regular customer at the smoothie place -- will spur him to plan to blow up the target of his wrath.
* ExpressiveMask: His goggles and stitched up mouth move to display emotion.
* ExtremeDoormat: He's constantly letting other villains walk all over him and humiliate him even though he could easily break their bones if he let himself get angry.
* {{Foil}}: To Harley of all people. Like Harley, Bane isn't treated with any respect by his supervillain peers. Two-Face's treatment of Bane, in particular, is very similar to how the Joker manipulated Harley into being subservient to him. Unlike Harley, who eventually wises up and breaks from the Joker's control and abuse, Bane remains completely oblivious to the fact that Two-Face doesn't regard him as an equal even as the evidence is right in front of him.
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler: He takes Harley and Ivy's riot and escape from the Pit fairly well when we see him again in "[[Recap/HarleyQuinn2019S2E12LoversQuarrel Lovers' Quarrel,]]" simply reacting to the [[InternalReveal reveal]] of their love-making with a calm IKnewIt. He even attends Ivy and Kite Man's wedding.]]
* TheHeavy: Becomes the main antagonist of the Valentine's Day special after accidentally enlarging himself and going on a sex pheromone-induced rampage, though the actual main conflict is Harley trying to give Ivy the perfect Valentine's Day.
* HiddenDepths: He seems to have a gift for therapy, since, despite having limited resources, he was significantly more successful in rehabilitating criminals than Arkham Asylum ever was.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: [[DownplayedTrope Not in the sense that he is incompetent overall]], but when it comes to committing acts of pure villainy, he's a complete buffoon, as Harley's crew can testify when they worked for him temporarily.
* LaughablyEvil: While Bane is still a villain, most of his antics are relegated to petty acts which still befits the BlackComedy nature of the show.
* MadBomber: He likes explosions a lot and his standard answer to anything that annoys him is wanting to blow it up.
* MythologyGag:
** His design is taken directly from his ''Videogame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' depiction, with his venom tubes changed from green to red.
** Similarly, pretty much every time we see him, Bane is constantly quoting ''The Dark Knight Rises'' in paraphrased wording. And of course, his voice is an exaggerated impression of Tom Hardy's Bane from that movie.
* NerdInEvilsHelmet: Drinks smoothies, tries to do magic tricks, cracks somewhat lame jokes, plays bar trivia, and wishes Pixar would make a sequel to ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}''.
* NiceGuy: Oddly enough, he's one of the nicest characters in the series thus far. He also seems to be the only one outside of her crew that treats Harley with respect, such as suggesting the newly formed Injustice League include her in negotiations on divying up Gotham rather than just hanging her up to dry (all the other villains yell at him and go ahead with their plans), and the Pit, a prison that he runs, is centered around rehabilitating the prisoners there through various forms of therapy.
* NoRespectGuy: Even though he's shown to be quite a formidable villain as seen with his battle with Batman, his fellow villains don't treat him with any respect. It's implied that this is so Bane doesn't get the idea to turn against ''them'', as Bane is shown to have the most success running his fiefdom in Gotham City, titled "Baneton".
* NotSoHarmlessVillain:
** Despite being treated as DumbMuscle and a joke by his fellow villains, he or at the very least his goons are treated as TheDreaded by the other villains' goons on account of Bane supplying them with syringes of Venom. When Two-Face's gang pursued King Shark and Dr. Psycho, they quickly turned around once they entered 'Baneton'.
** When he finally gets into a fight with Batman in "Batman's Back, Man" he shows that he is still one of his most dangerous enemies, easily defeating him and breaking both of his legs.
* ParentalSubstitute: Acts as this to the Penguin's nephew, Joshua.
* PointyHairedBoss: He's a pretty affable supervillain, but "A Seat at the Table" shows that he's a pretty idiotic boss, so much so that Harley's crew begs her to get them out of his employment.
* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: Downplayed, but he mentions making a point to be supportive of his lesbian aunt.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Played with. When he makes a joke about the ocean being "the world's toilet" that flops, he mutters that political correctness is killing comedy, and he calls the guy at the smoothie place a "goddamn millennial". However, he's neither a bigot nor a sexist, and it mostly just makes him seem like more of a dweeb than an outright jerk.
* RealMenWearPink: He's a brutish supervillain who also seems to be a fan of ''Series/SexAndTheCity'', as he's purchased memorabilia from it.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Subverted - Bane ''wants'' to be this, but a combination of [[NoRespectGuy his 'allies' disrespect for him,]] his temper, insecurities, and willingness to destroy anything that irritates him, no matter the absurdity, make this impossible.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Or in this case, [[GlowingEyesOfDoom green]]. Upon pumping himself full of Venom, his red lenses on his mask turn a sinister green.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: [[spoiler:He survived the events of Season 1 because he was out of town dog-sitting for his aunt's girlfriend at the time, which is more explanation than his fellow Legion members get.]]
* SelfReferentialHumor: More so than any other character in the show, Bane is a walking quotes machine for the portion of ''The Dark Knight Rises'' parody he represents; throughout his appearances Bane finds a way to incorporate many of the memorable lines from Tom Hardy's version of the character into his own dialogue.
* StraightEdgeEvil: "There's No Place to Go But Down" shows that Bane is all about channeling unproductive impulses into productive and healthy endeavors.
* SuperMode: The already huge Bane gets bigger when he uses the Venom formula.
* TeenyWeenie: {{Defied|Trope}}. He is insistent that he has an adequately large penis -- it's just that it ''looks'' small in comparison to the rest of him. Nevertheless, in ''A Very Problematic Valentine's Day Special'', Bane buys a ...ahem...''enhancement'' of a magical nature from Etrigan that backfires and...enlarges...[[{{Kaiju}} all of him]], and if the fact that as a kaiju he ends up using the trailer of a semi truck to cover himself is anything to go by, its size is nothing to scoff at.
* TrivialTragedy: For most of season 3 Bane considers Harley and Ivy refusing to give him back his pasta maker the worst betrayal he's ever experienced. He even goes to therapy to deal with it.
* VocalDissonance: He has a surprisingly soft voice for a hulking giant.
* WarriorTherapist: He spends his time rehabilitating prisoners in The Pit, through different kinds of therapy.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Not surprisingly, given his ''lucha libre'' theme, Bane's fighting style is based in wrestling.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: It's quasi-british, parodying the accent used by Tom Hardy from ''The Dark Knight Rises'', but his heritage is Latino so it makes very little sense.
* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Get him mad and upset enough, he'll go berserk. Batman himself learned this the hard way, while Two-Face did his best to keep him calm.

to:

* AdaptationalBadass: He might be the NoRespectGuy among the villains, but in terms of sheer strength, he is much stronger than his comic counterpart, overpowering Batman when he is using a suit of PoweredArmor.

* AdaptationalDumbass: Far from In the calculating genius Bane was in the comics, this Bane comics Lex is a childish oaf. [[CharacterDevelopment As the series goes on]], however, it's demonstrated that Bane is actually ''very'' intelligent and surprisingly pragmatic (he allows his goons to use Venom, which is normally his trump card, and tenth level intellect, meaning he's fairly successful at rehabilitating other criminals)... it's only when smarter than everyone else on the planet put together by an order of magnitude. Here he uses his intelligence needs to have someone tell him the conversion between centimeters and feet.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: He has a slightly tan complexion and pronounced lips and is voiced by an actor of African-American descent. It's left
in the service of villainy that he stumbles.
* AffablyEvil: For a ruthless villain,
air if he's a rather pleasant and polite fellow. It's telling meant to reflect his voice actor's ethnicity, or if he's meant to be Greek like his ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' counterpart.
* ArchEnemy
** Superman, as usual. In fact, Lex Luthor hates Superman so much
that he actually gets invited to Ivy's wedding, even though he helped put Harley on ice.
* BadBoss: When
[[spoiler: King Shark]] takes too long to plant a bomb, Bane remotely detonates it, not caring that he grievously wounded his henchman.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He steps on defenseless fishes
blocks out the sun for Earth, which causes the apocalypse in the BadFuture just to be an asshole to Aquaman.
* BerserkButton:

** [[GrammarNazi Improper grammar]], especially [[PrepositionsAreNotToEndSentencesWith ending sentences Lex also reaches this status with Ivy. Lex's grudge against Ivy is a preposition]] result of her constant refusal to join his Legion of Doom, and saying "anyways" instead of "anyway".

when Ivy finally does so, she manages to upstage him at every turn, causing Lex to hate Ivy as much as Superman (if not more so), to the point where the first thing where]] you say goodbye to someone and then end up walking in the same direction.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's shown to be surprisingly affable with his fellow villains, but his answer to anything or anyone that mildly offends him
he does after [[spoiler: obtaining Superman's powers]] is to try to blow them up.
* BombThrowingAnarchist: [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]],
humiliate Ivy at his birthday party. The feeling is mutual for Ivy, as she hates Lex Luthor for straining her friendship with Harley in Season 1, robs Ivy of her life source [[spoiler: (the sun)]], enjoys upstaging him whenever something mildly upsets Bane, she can, and makes it her top priority to stop Lex for good when she learns that he has [[spoiler: obtained Superman's powers]].
* ArcVillain: Lex is the main antagonist of Season 4. While one could argue that he's part of a BigBadEnsemble with The Joker and Talia Al Ghul, Lex takes center stage as the biggest threat of said season after [[spoiler:blocking out the sun, causing an apocalyptic BadFuture in the process, and stealing Superman's powers]]. The Joker is reduced to being a BigBadWannabe in the midst of all this and Talia serves as an indirect GreaterScopeVillain.
* BaldOfEvil: As typical, he doesn't have a single hair on
his immediate response is head. It's implied that he's insecure about his baldness, since he starts trying to threaten to blow whatever's upsetting grow hair after Ivy shows him up.
* BullyMagnet: Every other villain goes out of their way to bully
up, and insult Bane. His fellow members of the Injustice League continually mock him succeeds in having four more hairs than he usually has. [[spoiler:In "Killer's Block", he not only steals Superman's powers and [[EvilIsPetty give him a cheap chair to sit on because it looks funny.cape for himself, but his full head of hair as well.]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer: BitchInSheepsClothing: He wouldn't be Lex if he wasn't this. In spite of his dim "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.", he acts nothing but gracious and genial demeanor, Bane is surprisingly competent at a large number of fields. He manages polite to run one of Harley, while secretly scheming to use her to force Ivy to join the most successful gangs in Gotham, crushes Batman in combat, and turned Legion.
* CardCarryingVillain: When he appears on
the Pit into a highly successful prisoner-reform center.
* ButtMonkey: Despite his status in
news to kick Doctor Psycho out of the Legion of Doom, he is still mentions Psycho does not represent the Legion's brand of evil.
* ComicallySerious: Much of the humor revolving around him comes from reacting to series' wacky situations with
a StrawLoser straight face.
* CompensatingForSomething: Lex ''needs'' to flaunt his wealth so badly, else Superman might feel superior to him. Clark Kent isn't impressed by his daily routine of bathing in baby seal blood and getting dressed by four identically named sycophants
who gets no respect.
compliment him endlessly.
* CelebrityCrush: On Creator/BrettGoldstein, who EvenEvilHasStandards: He kicks Doctor Psycho out of the Legion of Doom after he attempts calls Wonder Woman and Giganta the C-word. Not that he respects women that much, but he at least has the decency to not insult them on national television.
* EvilCounterpart: Despite being Superman's ArchEnemy, Lex himself can be considered this to Bruce Wayne, both being public billionaires of their own cities and both are the only normals of their supergroups with Luthor being one of the villains.
* EvilIsPetty: It wouldn't be Lex otherwise. In season 3 he tries
to have sex with [[ItMakesSenseInContext the mayor killed over a new 0.5% tax on evil lairs, while temporarily transformed into a massively horny]] {{Kaiju}}.
* ChewingTheScenery: During a KangarooCourt trial involving Harley and Ivy.
-->"I sentence them to liiiiiiife...
in prison of course."
* ClimaxBoss: For
season 4, [[spoiler: under the Injustice League story arc. He's guise of restoring the last member faced by Harley and Ivy as Two-Face himself is taken down by Gordon, [[spoiler:and escaping ozone layer, he blocks out the Pit prompts the pair's first kiss that sets the stage sun for the rest sole purpose of the season's conflict.depowering Superman.]]
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: The Joker tells GreaterScopeVillain: For the first season. He only appears in three episodes, but Harley's entire goal is to impress him that Harley has HPV. Bane isn't sure how this matters, because he's pretty sure most sexually active adults have it.
* CompositeCharacter: Combines the classic Venom-using Bane with the ComicallySerious Bane from ''ComicBook/SecretSix'', with an exaggerated love of explosions and Tom Hardy's voice and eloquence from ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''.
* CowardlyLion: Bane takes a lot of crap from other villains who don't take him seriously. Yet when he actually gets into a fight in "Batman's Back, Man" he turns out be powerful
enough to inflict a CurbStompBattle on Batman.
* CurbStompBattle: Faces Batman in "Batman's Back, Man." While Batman has a suit of PoweredArmor, Bane destroys him when he goes all out on Venom, leaves the suit so damaged it cannot operate, and leaves Batman with both

* DisproportionateRetribution: Blew up Gotham stadium because he got a Trivia Night question wrong, and then threatens to blow up the Penguin's nephew's bar mitzvah because Harley
Legion of Doom, and the other villains made fun of him. As schism he creates between her and Ivy allows the series progresses, he threatens latter to blow up pretty much anything be captured by Scarecrow.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He's the one to publicly announce
that mildly offends him.
* DoWrongRight: His reaction to Joshua putting a hit out on Harley using a
the Legion of Doom credit card is indignant scolding. Why? Because disproves of Doctor Psycho's misogyny, but he left also has a paper trail by using the credit card (along problem with using treating women as equals. Even his promotion of Ivy to Legion of Doom CEO is mainly just about PR; he makes it for frivolous purchases), rather than using cash.
* DumbassHasAPoint: He suggests
pretty clear that he and Two-Face team up to better prepare for Harley attempting to kill them, which Two-Face only begrudgingly does while making every effort to minimize him.
* EasilyForgiven: Despite locking Harley and Ivy in
doesn't give a high-security prison and generally antagonizing them for a whole season, he gets invited to Ivy and Kite Man's wedding.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: For all his faults, he mentions having a close relationship with his aunt.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's quite offended when the Joker badmouths the Penguin's nephew's bar mitzvah, recognizing the occasion as an important milestone.
* EvilBrit: Speaks with the quasi-British accent made famous by Creator/TomHardy's portrayal of the character. This is somewhat confusing, as it becomes evident later that this Bane is also Latino, like in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', [[spoiler:if the calavera-bearing papel picado strung
toss about Ivy's goals or ideas, and most of his slice compliments are either backhanded or transparently insincere.
* IJustWantToBeYou: His obsession with Superman seems to extend wanting to ''be'' him. [[spoiler:In the Season 4 finale, it's revealed the real goal
of Gotham is anything his plan to go by.block the sun was just so he could capture Superman, steal his powers, his cape ''and'' hair.]]
* EvilIsPetty: Pretty much any minor embarrassment Bane suffers -- losing a bar trivia game, being laughed at at a bar mitzvah, having a teenage employee call him "Bang" when he's a regular customer at the smoothie place -- will spur him to plan to blow up the target of his wrath.
* ExpressiveMask: His goggles and stitched up mouth move to display emotion.
* ExtremeDoormat: He's constantly letting other villains walk all over him and humiliate him even though he could easily break their bones if he let himself get angry.
* {{Foil}}: To Harley of all people. Like Harley, Bane
ItsAllAboutMe: If Lex isn't treated with the most important person in the room at any respect by his supervillain peers. Two-Face's treatment of Bane, given time, he will ''not'' be a happy camper. When Ivy upstages him at [=MalCon=] he tries to kill everyone in particular, is very similar attendance.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: [[spoiler: After remaining a unpunished villain for 4 whole seasons, karma finally catches up
to how Lex in the Joker manipulated Harley into being subservient to him. Unlike season 4 finale where Ivy, Harley, and Barbara defeat Lex Luthor together before letting Steppenwolf take him to Apokolips]].
* KnightOfCerebus: Not that he doesn't have comedic moments himself, but the moment he introduces himself to Harley is when Harley's relationships start becoming strained, shifting the show more into dramedy territory.
* ManipulativeBastard: This is Lex Luthor after all. When Ivy refuses to join the Legion of Doom, Luthor let Harley join with the apparent intent of driving a wedge between the two of them.
* MythologyGag: DCAU ethnically ambiguous Lex is back! Though WordOfGod confirmed that Lex is actually black in this universe.
* NoLoveForTheWicked: Played for laughs. He sees the act of sex as being too pedestrian, so he always uses a surrogate -- one
who eventually wises up has a full head of hair and breaks from dresses like Superman.
* PetTheDog:
** He's actually pretty supportive to Harley in her first LOD meeting, even agreeing with her about the over-complicated nature of
the Joker's control plan and abuse, Bane remains completely oblivious to affably explaining how the fact that Two-Face doesn't regard him as an equal even as the evidence is right in front of him.
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:
meetings work.
**
He takes Harley loves his pet dog and Ivy's riot and escape from the Pit fairly well when we see him again in "[[Recap/HarleyQuinn2019S2E12LoversQuarrel Lovers' Quarrel,]]" simply reacting to the [[InternalReveal reveal]] of their love-making with a calm IKnewIt. He even attends Ivy and Kite Man's wedding.]]
* TheHeavy: Becomes the main antagonist of the Valentine's Day special after accidentally enlarging himself and going on a sex pheromone-induced rampage, though the actual main conflict is Harley trying to give Ivy the perfect Valentine's Day.
* HiddenDepths: He seems to have a gift for therapy, since, despite having limited resources, he was significantly more successful in rehabilitating criminals than Arkham Asylum ever was.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: [[DownplayedTrope Not in the sense that he is incompetent overall]], but when it comes to committing acts of pure villainy, he's a complete buffoon, as Harley's crew can testify when they worked for him temporarily.
* LaughablyEvil: While Bane is still a villain, most of his antics are relegated to petty acts which still befits the BlackComedy nature of the show.
* MadBomber: He likes explosions a lot and his standard answer to anything that annoys him is wanting to blow it up.
* MythologyGag:
** His design is taken directly from his ''Videogame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' depiction, with his venom tubes changed from green to red.
** Similarly, pretty much every time we see him, Bane is constantly quoting ''The Dark Knight Rises'' in paraphrased wording. And of course, his voice is an exaggerated impression of Tom Hardy's Bane from that movie.
* NerdInEvilsHelmet: Drinks smoothies, tries to do magic tricks, cracks somewhat lame jokes, plays bar trivia, and wishes Pixar would make a sequel to ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}''.
* NiceGuy: Oddly enough, he's one of the nicest characters in the series thus far. He also seems to be the only one outside of her crew that
treats Harley with respect, such as suggesting the newly formed Injustice League include her in negotiations on divying up Gotham rather than just hanging her up to dry (all the other villains yell at him and go ahead with their plans), and the Pit, a prison that he runs, is centered around rehabilitating the prisoners there through various forms of therapy.
* NoRespectGuy: Even though he's shown to be quite a formidable villain as seen with
it like his battle with Batman, his fellow villains don't treat him with any respect. It's implied that this is so Bane doesn't get the idea to turn against ''them'', as Bane is shown to have the most success running his fiefdom in Gotham City, titled "Baneton".
* NotSoHarmlessVillain:
** Despite being treated as DumbMuscle and a joke by his fellow villains, he or at the very least his goons are treated as TheDreaded by the other villains' goons on account of Bane supplying them with syringes of Venom. When Two-Face's gang pursued King Shark and Dr. Psycho, they quickly turned around once they entered 'Baneton'.
** When he finally gets into a fight with Batman in "Batman's Back, Man" he shows that he is still one of his most dangerous enemies, easily defeating him and breaking both of his legs.
* ParentalSubstitute: Acts as this to the Penguin's nephew, Joshua.
* PointyHairedBoss: He's a pretty affable supervillain, but "A Seat at the Table" shows that he's a pretty idiotic boss, so much so that Harley's crew begs her to get them out of his employment.
* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: Downplayed, but he mentions making a point to be supportive of his lesbian aunt.
baby.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Played with. When Despite disapproving of Doctor Psycho's misogyny, he makes displays quite a joke about the ocean being "the world's toilet" that flops, he mutters that political correctness is killing comedy, and he calls the guy at the smoothie place a "goddamn millennial". However, he's neither a bigot nor a sexist, and it mostly just makes him seem like more of a dweeb than an outright jerk.
* RealMenWearPink: He's a brutish supervillain who also seems to be a fan of ''Series/SexAndTheCity'', as he's purchased memorabilia from it.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Subverted - Bane ''wants'' to be this, but a combination of [[NoRespectGuy his 'allies' disrespect for him,]] his temper, insecurities, and willingness to destroy anything that irritates him, no matter the absurdity, make this impossible.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Or
few sexist tendencies in this case, [[GlowingEyesOfDoom green]]. Upon pumping himself full of Venom, his red lenses on his mask turn a sinister green.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: [[spoiler:He survived the events of Season 1 because he was out of town dog-sitting for his aunt's girlfriend at the time, which is more explanation than his fellow Legion members get.]]
* SelfReferentialHumor: More so than any other character in the show, Bane is a walking quotes machine for the portion of ''The Dark Knight Rises'' parody he represents; throughout his appearances Bane finds a way to incorporate many of the memorable lines from Tom Hardy's version of the character into
his own dialogue.
* StraightEdgeEvil: "There's No Place
right, as shown in "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.". He doesn't bother to Go But Down" shows that Bane is all about channeling unproductive impulses into productive remember the name of the ''sole female member'' (Cheetah) of the Legion, and healthy endeavors.
* SuperMode: The already huge Bane gets bigger when he uses
was willing to use Harley's desire to be in the Venom formula.
* TeenyWeenie: {{Defied|Trope}}. He is insistent that he has an adequately large penis -- it's just that it ''looks'' small in comparison
Legion to the rest of him. Nevertheless, in ''A Very Problematic Valentine's Day Special'', Bane buys a ...ahem...''enhancement'' of a magical nature from Etrigan that backfires and...enlarges...[[{{Kaiju}} all of him]], and if force Ivy to join. Then there's the fact that as a kaiju he ends up using willingly hands Harley over to the trailer Joker, whose mistreatment of a semi truck her is well-known practically everywhere.
* RaceLift: Lex Luthor was made
to cover himself is be black for this series to better reflect his voice actor. This change makes Lex look more as he appears in WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries (though he was more AmbiguouslyBrown in the case of STAS), rather than the fairer skinned version in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010''.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: He's virtually identical to his [[Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse DCAU]] incarnation, at least in looks.
* SlaveToPR:
** While his public firing of Dr. Psycho after he insulted women on live television twice looked like an EvenEvilHasStandards moments at first, his own sexist behaviour in private hints that it was more about keeping his [[VillainWithGoodPublicity public image]] than
anything else.
** Taken
to go by, its size comedic extreme with the revelation that a local sex shop is nothing ripping off the Legion's name, and all he can do is roll his eyes and let the matter play out in court since using "evil" methods would bring bad PR.
* TakeThat: One of the headlines during the breaking news segment of Wonder Woman and Doctor Psycho's fight is Lex launching a tirade against Superman on Twitter, which is generally a TakeThat towards Twitter rants by and towards prominent figures like politicians and celebrities.
* ToxicInc: One of the many divisions of Lexcorp is a company simply called "Planetwide Pavers".
* VilerNewVillain: Once Lex Luthor takes over the role of ArcVillain in Season 4, he proves
to scoff at.
* TrivialTragedy:
be far worse than all previous main villains, who all had some sympathetic and/or redeeming qualities. For most further explanation: The BigBadEnsemble of season 3 Bane considers Harley the previous season, consisting of Batman and Poison Ivy, were misguided {{Anti Villain}}s, while even vile villains like The Joker and Dr. Psycho have some people they cared about (Bethany and her kids for The Joker, Herman for his father Dr. Psycho). By contrast, Lex is never shown to care for anyone but himself, his ''only'' redeeming quality is his love for his [[PetTheDog dog]], and carries out a cataclysmic plan that far eclipses all other villains in sheer scope, with far pettier motivations behind them (he wanted to de-power Superman so he can imprison him and steal his powers).
* VillainousBreakdown: After
Ivy refusing to give him back steals the show at his pasta maker moon conference, Lex accidentally blows up his own legs and tries jettisoning the worst betrayal entire conference to space.
* VillainousValor: He gets restrained by Ivy's plants, and doesn't even flinch.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Typical Lex Luthor, however this version is more honest about the fact
he's ever experienced. He even goes to therapy to deal with it.
* VocalDissonance: He has
a surprisingly soft voice for a hulking giant.
* WarriorTherapist: He spends his time rehabilitating prisoners in The Pit, through different kinds of therapy.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Not surprisingly, given his ''lucha libre'' theme, Bane's fighting style is based in wrestling.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: It's quasi-british, parodying

* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Get him mad and upset enough, he'll go berserk. Batman himself learned this the hard way, while Two-Face did his best to keep him calm.

Gotham's "funniest villain" known for his riddle based crimes.
Creator/RahulKohli



* ActorAllusion: Riddler's voice actor, Jim Rash, is best known for playing Dean Pelton on ''Series/{{Community}}''. In Season 2, he becomes the dean of Riddler U, even featuring an ad that feels as if it could have been made in ''Community''. Also, the fact that this version of the Riddler is both gay and [[BaldOfEvil bald]]--not common traits for the character--is most likely a reference to Rash as well.
* AdaptationalSexuality: This incarnation of the character is revealed to be gay and in a relationship with the Clock King in Season 3.
* BadassInANiceSuit: He's a notorious villain in a snazzy suit with a DastardlyDapperDerby.
* BaldOfEvil: This Riddler has a shaved head.
* DeadpanSnarker: Being one of the smartest villains in Gotham, it's not at all surprising that Riddler has a dry wit to go along with it. Especially notable when he's around Psycho.
* DemotedToDragon: [[spoiler: After the other members of the Injustice League are defeated, the Riddler forms a new partnership with Dr. Psycho for the second half of Season 2, though Psycho is clearly in charge. The Riddler himself lampshades that he's not used to the whole "second in command" thing.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He seems to genuinely love his boyfriend Clock King.
* EvilVersusEvil: While always a supervillain, Season 2 sees him directly oppose Harley as part of the Injustice League.
* GeniusBruiser: Not only is he a brilliant man, a stint in captivity puts him in excellent shape.
* HairTodayGoneTomorrow: A flashback to Harley's time at Arkham shows him brushing a long black mane, only to gasp in horror when he finds several strands embedded in the brush, suggesting he's either gone totally bald since or now shaves his head to cover up an unflattering hairline.
* HeadTurningBeauty: Male example. His workout regime as a prisoner of Harley's crew makes him ''incredibly'' jacked, and it becomes a RunningGag for people (both male and female) to break off their train of thought when they get a look at his perfect musculature.
* TheHeavy: He's the most prominent villain throughout all of Season 2 with a major antagonistic role in both halves, first as a member of the Injustice League and then as Psycho's [[TheDragon Dragon]].
* MythologyGag: He sported long black hair prior to his BaldOfEvil appearance, similar to the Music/MarilynManson-inspired Riddler from ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman''.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He finds Clayface so obnoxious that he spoils his own riddle just to make Clayface stop talking.
* PlayAlongPrisoner: [[spoiler: After being captured in Season Two and made to power Harley's lair with a giant hamster wheel, he says he's okay with it because he is getting well-fed, plenty of exercise, and it's entertaining watching Harley's crew struggle to get on top. He also makes it very clear he can escape at anytime he feels like it]]. [[spoiler: By episode 10 he's done just that albeit with the help of Dr. Psycho.]]
* PragmaticVillainy: He joins the Injustice League in Season 2 to avoid fighting over the remains of New New Gotham. [[spoiler: He refuses to escape his prison because being a prisoner gives him the best chance of surviving the New New Gotham wasteland, not only that, Harley's crew provides him with shelter, food, water, plenty of exercise, and finds pleasure in watching the Quinn crew struggle for survival.]]
* PrisonsAreGymnasiums: Justified -- after capturing him, Harley and co. have him run on one of his human-sized hamster wheels to provide them with power. He makes no secret of how he's fine with it because he's getting jacked.
* RetiredMonster: By Season Three, he's given up big-time villainy and is happily running an escape room company with his boyfriend Clock King. Granted, the escape room in question ''does'' possess lethal traps, but this is Gotham, so that just might be par for the course.
* RiddleMeThis: [[TropeNamer But of course]]; his crimes are centered around riddles that he leaves heroes to solve to give them a chance of stopping him... or as the Joker puts it:
-->'''The Joker:''' His gimmick is being the world's most indirect asshole!
* TheRival: The Joker sees him as a rival villain, especially since the Riddler seems to be stealing his gimmick in the first episode.
* TattooedCrook: He has a question mark tattooed on his forehead.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Thanks to the non-stop exercise that came from powering Harley's lair via a giant hamster wheel, he's become an actually physically imposing threat (and seriously ripped) upon being freed by Dr. Psycho in "Dye Hard".]]
* UnholyMatrimony: He and his fellow supervillain Clock King are revealed to be a couple in Season 3, although they seem to be running an escape room company together instead of doing crimes.
* VillainousFriendship: He helps Poison Ivy in her elaborate plan to help Harley realize that the Joker doesn't really love her in exchange for her getting him out of Arkham. A throwaway line from Ivy about owing Riddler money over a bet, when she was still extremely mysanthropic indicated that they were at least on speaking-terms with each other. Subverted big time later on, when they are on opposite sides.

to:

* ActorAllusion: Riddler's voice actor, Jim Rash, is best known for playing Dean Pelton on ''Series/{{Community}}''. In Season 2, he becomes AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Joker and Scarecrow usually absolutely ''loathe'' each other, being very dismissive of one another and often would resort to violence or actively screwing each other over to further their own plans rather than entertain the dean idea of Riddler U, even featuring an ad that feels as if it could have been made in ''Community''. Also, the fact that this version of the Riddler is both gay and [[BaldOfEvil bald]]--not common traits working together. Here, they're able to work together just fine for the character--is most likely a reference to Rash part.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Subverted. He is initially depicted
as well.
* AdaptationalSexuality: This incarnation of the character is revealed to be gay and
a friendly if a bit gossipy man, in a relationship with the Clock King in Season 3.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He seems BeneathTheMask: No pun intended, but while he appears to genuinely love just be another Legion member who treats his boyfriend Clock King.
* EvilVersusEvil: While always
work like a supervillain, Season 2 sees him directly oppose Harley day job, he turns out to be just as part much of a loon as his comic counterpart obsessed with spreading fear and destruction all over Gotham.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's introduced in a casual setting as
the Injustice League.
* GeniusBruiser: Not only
Legion's resident gossip and generally is he presented as a brilliant man, a stint in captivity puts him in excellent shape.
* HairTodayGoneTomorrow: A flashback to Harley's time at Arkham shows him brushing a long black mane, only to gasp in horror when he finds several strands embedded in the brush, suggesting
friendly, personable man. [[spoiler:Then it's revealed he's either gone totally bald since or now shaves his head to cover up an unflattering hairline.
* HeadTurningBeauty: Male example. His workout regime as a prisoner of Harley's crew makes him ''incredibly'' jacked, and it becomes a RunningGag for people (both male and female) to break off their train of thought when they get a look at his perfect musculature.

working with a major antagonistic role in both halves, first as a member of the Injustice League Joker and then as Psycho's [[TheDragon Dragon]].

the Music/MarilynManson-inspired Riddler from ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman''.

* CoDragons:
He refuses and the Queen of Fables are revealed to escape be the Joker's by the end of the first season. However, the Joker holds him in far less esteem than he does the Queen of Fables.

The latter berates him, saying that he could have unmasked Batman from the start if he was actually interested in finding out his secret identity.

** Subverted. He's rather uncomfortable with the Joker's poor treatment of Bane. Doesn't stop him from joining him and helping him destroy the Legion of Doom (which Bane was a member of)'s lair.
** PlayedForLaughs example. While he's a supervillain, he considers the medical insurance industry to be the real villains.

* MythologyGag:
** Joker's taunts about Scarecrow having nothing but fear gas? Comic Joker did the same.

* ActOfTrueLove: [[spoiler:Witnessing Mr. Freeze willingly giving up all his blood to save his terminally ill wife is what makes Harley realize what true love is about.]]
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Victor is usually depicted as a geeky-looking, bald man. Here, he has a muscular build, chiseled jawline, and a snazzy mohawk.
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Before he went supervillain, Victor was a wealthy and powerful CEO rather than a white-collar scientist.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While other versions of Mr. Freeze have been sympathetic, they were typically portrayed as [[{{Pun}} cold]] and anti-social. This interpretation however is outright hospitable, offering meals to Harley and her crew even when they tried to kill him.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: As noted above, most incarnations of Mr. Freeze are [[TinMan outwardly]] [[TheStoic cold and emotionless]] while this version is much more friendly and personable.
* AffablyEvil: Freeze is not beyond reason and can be downright pleasant, so long as your death will not help him cure Nora, or you do not stand in his way of curing her.
* AlasPoorVillain: Downplayed in that this version is hardly even a villain. [[spoiler:Freeze dies a HeroicSuicide to save Nora and proclaims his love for her before encouraging for her to move on from his death.]]
* AndIMustScream: He describes his life trapped inside the cryosuit as "god forsaken" and something he only [[DrivenToSuicide put up with]] to save find a way to save Nora.
* AntiVillain: His sympathetic motivations, AffablyEvil manners and the HeroicSacrifice he pulls at the end of "Thawing Hearts" put him into this territory.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He shows Harley's crew the alarming amount of snow rats that have died because of his failed experiments to find a cure for Nora.
* BaitAndSwitch: The show plays with idea that Freeze might just be a lunatic deluding himself that Nora is his wife, going in hand with the New 52's retcon before Rebirth switched it back. She's frozen with an expression of horror, has a feeding tube leading into her mouth, and Freeze speaks as if she's still conscious. Harley projects her own issues with the Joker onto him, believing he destroyed Nora's life. However, in the end, the show sticks with the infinitely more popular backstory of Freeze and Nora being deeply in love with each other, with Freeze as his most sympathetic version.
* CastingGag: As Freeze here is like the ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries BTAS]]'' version, then this won't be the first time Molina has played [[Film/SpiderMan2 a supervillain scientist who lost his wife.]]
* ComicallySerious: Given the nature of the wacky situations he is in, it's impossible for him not to be this.
* CompositeCharacter: His physical appearance is based on his ''ComicBook/New52'' depiction (particularly the blue mohawk and his containment suit's lack of sleeves), but his origin and personality are closer to his pre-Flashpoint incarnation where Nora actually was his wife and he became the way he is as a side effect of keeping Nora cryogenically frozen while trying to cure her of a terminal illness.
* CrazyPrepared: When [[NoMisterBondIExpectYouToDine having lunch with Harley's crew]] he has them frozen to their chairs to keep them from trying anything.
* CurbStompBattle: Easily defeats Harley's crew with his freezing gun. When Harley makes an attempt at fighting him again, it ends with her getting frozen again.
* DitzyGenius: He blows open the Penguin's door because he couldn't push it open... only for the Penguin to explain the door is ''pulled'' open.

* HeroicSuicide: [[spoiler:His act of giving his life to save his wife has shades of this.]] By his own admission, he views his life inside the cryo-suit as a form of hell, and he only tolerates it so he can live long enough to save Nora.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler: With his last breaths, he encourages Nora to move on from his death and find happiness.]]
* JustifiedCriminal: He participates in organized crime to gather the funding necessary to research a cure for his wife's illness.
* LivingOnBorrowedTime: He needs to live inside a cryo-suit so he can extend his lifespan and continue the research needed to find a cure for Nora.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: The whole motive of his villainy is finding a cure for his dying wife.
* MythologyGag: Closed captioning labels Freeze's accent as German ([[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent despite it sounding more Russian]]). In live-action, Freeze was played by two Austrians, Creator/OttoPreminger and Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger, with their own accents, and by the British Creator/GeorgeSanders and American Creator/EliWallach both doing German accents. Mr. Freeze just having an accent must itself be the gag.
* NobleDemon: He is willing to become a criminal to fund his research, but there are still lines he won't cross. [[spoiler:It's revealed that he froze Harley to placate the rest of the Injustice League, who were actually planning to kill her.]]
* NominalVillain: Mr. Freeze only turned to crime in order to find a cure for his wife Nora. He displays none of the cruelty and sadism common among the other Gotham villains. In fact, the most evil thing he does in the show is freezing Harley and putting her on display as a sculpture, and the only reason he did that was to keep the other villains from killing her. [[spoiler:In the end, he sacrifices himself to save his wife, proving himself to be a good man deep down.]]
* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: He and "[[HumanPopsicle Nora]]" host a dinner for Harley and crew as a show of good faith. It's just as disturbing as you might imagine.
* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: PlayedForLaughs. He froze Harley to save her life, and acknowledged in disgust that his fellow crime lords loved it due to being white, cis-gendered, heterosexual men who wanted to make a woman an object of mockery. King Shark soon calls out Harley for attacking [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative the most "woke" ice-themed villain in New New Gotham]].
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Freeze's choice to [[HeroicSuicide let himself die]] for the sake of saving Nora proves that deep down he's a good person at heart.]]
* SenseLossSadness: He can no longer eat cooked food as it would fatally raise his body temperature and he asks Dr. Psycho to describe what it's like to eat a piece of steak during dinner.
* SheepInSheepsClothing: As Harley found out way too late, he really is nothing like the Joker. [[spoiler:He [[CassandraTruth really was]] keeping his wife frozen for her own safety and really did have every intention of giving up Supervillainy once she was cured. Even when Harley freed her prematurely his only concern was keeping her safe and never sought revenge on her, he even passed up the opportunity of killing her to save Nora in favour of a HeroicSacrifice.]]
* ShoutOut: His story about how he and Nora met was literally just like ''Film/YouveGotMail'', so [[BaitAndSwitch you'd be forgiven for thinking he was making it up]].
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:After Harley accidentally condemns Nora to die by freeing her from her ice prison, Mr. Freeze threatens to blow himself up along with everyone present unless Harley can get Ivy to find a cure for her.]]
* TokenGoodTeammate: It's revealed in "Thawing Hearts" that he only froze Harley because the alternative was the Injustice League killing her, and his goals are more sympathetic than those of the other four.
* UnseenNoMore: In Season 1, he's mentioned by a realtor showing his former lair to Harley and Ivy, and the place definitely had his custom renovations style. When he finally shows up in Season 2, this is lampshaded by Harley noting that it's "been a minute".
* UnusualEyebrows: His eyebrows are long and kinked.
* WouldHitAGirl: Knocks out Harley with her own bat; justified since she attacked him twice before that, and considering how "woke" he is, it's more than likely Mr. Freeze is pretty egalitarian. (He also needed a test subject for an experiment and unconscious subjects are easier to handle.)

* WouldHitAGirl: Knocks out Harley with her own bat; justified since she attacked him twice before that, and considering how "woke" he is, it's more than likely Mr. Freeze is pretty egalitarian. (He also needed a test subject for an experiment and unconscious subjects are easier to handle.)

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Surprisingly, yes. Most versions of Darkseid would not even entertain the thought of giving an army to anyone unless it would benefit any of his plans. That said he is still the same ruthless dictator who desires the eradication of free will throughout the known universe. Likewise, him mentioning Harley was filling a void was him attempting to genuinely advise her.
* CatchPhrase: "[[AGodAmI Darkseid IS...]] [[SubvertedCatchPhrase (perfectly ordinary action)]]".
* TheComicallySerious: He constantly interrupts Harley from speaking while giving his speech with no change in his tone whatsoever, and also points out that Harley is repressing issues and trying to compensate with his army. And then there's thinking Orange Julius is a person and not understanding that Chuck is a person's name in "Lover's Quarrel".
* TheDreaded: While partially played for comedy, Harley's crew is clearly terrified of him and makes point to always keep reffering to him in some grandoise way to avoid ticking him off. [[spoiler: Even when Doctor Psycho steals the helmet that boosts his power he is still terrified of Darkseid and is quick to suck up to him in his presence.]]

* GalacticConqueror: He is introduced crushing the skull of [[ComicBook/NewGods Forager]] after declaring the conquest of his world.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Easily the most dangerous villain to appear in the show so far, but he doesn't appear interested in Earth, much less Gotham City. His only role so far has been supplying an army of his Parademons to Harley in Season 2. [[spoiler: After Harley backs out of the deal, Doctor Psycho takes control of the army and makes a new deal to be given Earth in exchange for Harley's head.]]
* HeroKiller: Harley and her crew first meet him in person as he slaughters Forager.
* KnightOfCerebus: Similar to Lex Luthor, he has plenty of funny moments, but the plot of the second season does get more serious with his introduction and Harley getting an army of Parademons. [[spoiler: When Doctor Psycho is displeased with Harley not wanting to use the Parademon army to TakeOverTheWorld, he takes control of the Parademons and plans to conquer the world himself.]]
* LargeAndInCharge: He is a giant, even making King Shark look tiny in comparison.

* VillainHasAPoint: Quickly notices Harley is trying to fill a void in her heart and advises that what she is doing won't work.

* AffablyEvil: While he's supposed to be a villain like most of the cast, he's an all round decent guy. He doesn't even count as 'evil' because [[HarmlessVillain he never does anything bad]].
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He implies that he lost the category of Best D-List Villain to Codpiece.
* AmicableExes: [[spoiler:Despite how badly their relationship fell apart, when he reappears in Season 3, he displays no hostility towards neither Ivy nor Harley and even happily makes note on how Harley's relationship with Ivy has made her a better person. Regardless of how things ended between them, he's grateful that dating Ivy made him enough of a big name to be nominated at the Villy Awards.]]
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: He falls in love with Ivy because she's the only person who has recognized his good qualities enough to give him a chance and stand up for him.
* BettyAndVeronica: [[spoiler:In Season 2, Ivy is torn between her feelings for her friend Harley and her fiancé Kite Man. Kite Man is the Betty because he's pleasant, stable and dorky, making him the "safer" relationship option next to Harley. However, he is the one that breaks off the relationship when he realizes he's not the one for her.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler: He is nice and forgiving despite being a villain but he finally reaches his breaking point after Gordon ruins the wedding. Even though he's angry with Ivy, he's merciful enough to end the relationship for Ivy since she doesn't want to be with him. He still leaves her and Harley behind for the police but he knows they're both capable of escaping the police.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: His ability to fly allows him to save people when need be. First time being when he saves Ivy, Harley and her crew from a cyclops through flight and squirting hot sauce in said cyclops' eye.
* BreakoutCharacter: Became one enough to have his own spin-off in ''Kite Man: Hell Yeah!''.
* ButtMonkey: He's always abused or humiliated in some way but he seemingly takes it in stride and Ivy does know he means well when he helps out.
* CasanovaWannabe: He thinks he's a smooth-talking ladies' man, but he's just a perverted idiot. He admits later in his debut he's not too good with women. It's when he drops the act that Ivy shows interest in him.
* CatchPhrase: "Hell yeah."
* ChivalrousPervert: As he says so himself, he cares about what Ivy thinks as much as he cares about her ass.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Towards Poison Ivy, who initially sees him as a joke like everyone else. Once she realizes he can be nice to be around, she starts giving in to his advances. He does successfully manage to enter a relationship with Ivy some time before "The Line", but Ivy displays some embarrassment towards how open he is about their relationship.
* DumbassHasAPoint: While he's not dumb per say, he himself says he's simple. However, he's no fool as he makes it known:
** On his first date with Ivy, after he realizes that Ivy is embarrassed to been seen with him and wears extra clothing to conceal her idenity, [[WhatTheHellHero he calls her out for it]].
** In "A Fight Worth Fighting For" he points out that him and Ivy getting married before stopping the army of Parademons is a bad idea. Ivy, trying to AltarTheSpeed due to [[spoiler:her one night stand with Harley]], ignores Kite Man's advice; he is quickly proven right.
* EndearinglyDorky: Although he comes across as a lame loser at first, Ivy discovers he's a friendly, dorky, if somewhat pushy guy and starts dating him. Harley later agrees that Kite Man is a very likable guy once she sees his honest, if misguided attempt to make Ivy happy by stealing a "whimsical" ring for her.
* ExtremeDoormat: He never stands up for himself when people mock him and treat him like a joke. However, he doesn't let it get to him much. It's implied that this is the result of his own parents being condescending of him because [[MuggleBornOfMages he lacks superpowers while his parents have them.]] This allow him to mesh well for a bit with Ivy because of her own assertive personality. [[spoiler: Ironically enough, he sticks up for himself against her when he realizes that they're not meant to be together and breaks it off for them.]]
* FemaleFighterMaleHandler: He has this with Ivy. Ivy has control over plant life, decent combat skills and thus a dangerous villainess. Kite Man is a NonActionGuy who doesn't help much, but he can fly and he's quite good at flying with the kite.
* FreudianExcuse: ''Possibly.'' While his self-confidence is genuine, one gets the feeling that his earlier act and social awkwardness is the result of his parents' verbal abuse toward him.
* GracefulInTheirElement: Say what you will about him, he ''is'' a good flier and knows how to use his kite well when needed. [[spoiler: Ivy calls Kite Man to save her, Harley, and her crew from a death trap sprung on them by the Queen of Fables. He saves them ''magnificently''. He later saves Harley from death.]]
* GreenAndMean: Downplayed. His outfit is green and he's a villain but is very nice and friendly.
* HarmlessVillain: Much like in the comics, he's not taken seriously as a villain in the slightest and is seen as a joke by pretty much every other supervillain.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Even though it's conditional, he can still ''fly'' and has used it to pull off some impressive stunts (including saving Harley's crew plus Ivy from a ''cyclops''). In Season 2, he's able to use this to help Harley and Ivy cover good ground over the ruined Gotham.
* HiddenDepths:
** At first he tries being a womanizer but to no avail as Ivy is put off by his perversion and inability to take a hint. When he decides to drop this and starts interacting with Ivy with no ulterior motive, Ivy starts becoming interested in him and the two start dating. Through Kite Man, Ivy starts coming further out of her shell and Kite Man learns that being himself is enough to win someone over.
** Season 2 reveals that he knows Morse-Code, which comes in handy when translating for [[spoiler: Sy's cybernetic eye]].
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: He never officially joins Harley's crew, but since he's dating Ivy, he does go out of his way to give them a ride and saves their lives at least once.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:There are definitely some sour [[WeddingSmashers feelings]] motivating his decision to break off his engagement with Ivy, but it is partially because he realizes that Ivy's heart belongs to Harley rather than him. He tells her upfront that he isn't the person for her.]]
* InformedLoner: Zigzagged. He is portrayed as an outcast who everyone treats as a joke, but not many characters actually mock him as such, and he still gets invited to villain parties and is able to convince random bar goons to work jobs for him. However, this is to demonstrate that even someone as pathetic as Kite Man gets more respect in the villain community than Harley, thus his JokeCharacter status [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools is used to draw attention to a major theme of the series]].
* InLoveWithLove: Both he and Ivy have shades of this to each other. From his end, his hurry to marry her before she's completely ready is more motivated by a fear of not being able to find another woman who actually likes him so much ''and'' is as cool as Ivy. However, [[spoiler: he does break it off through a combination of realizing they're not meant for each other and that he deserves better.]]
* MeaningfulName: His real name is Charles Brown... yes, just like the ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' comic strip character. Much like his namesake, he gets no respect from his peers and also has a crush on a red-haired girl. Furthermore, his kite-theme is a reference to how the comic strip character would get his kites stuck in the infamous "kite-eating tree". Kite Man's red-haired girlfriend can ''control'' trees.
* MuggleBornOfMages: His father and mother have ice powers and the ability to fly, respectively. Both were disappointed when Kite-Man had no powers.
* NeverBareheaded: Even the time he thought (wrongly) that Ivy was going to have sex with him, he stripped off everything but kept on the mask.
* NiceGuy: Perverted tendencies and attempted villainy aside, he's actually a pretty decent guy, even sorta befriending Ivy by the end of his debut and then the two becoming a couple a few episodes later.
* NonActionGuy: Probably the only supervillain in the show who can't fight at all.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Despite being a supposed supervillain, he is never actually seen doing anything evil during the series proper. If he weren't hanging out with villains, it would be a stretch to call him one at all.
* PrinceCharmingWannabe: He can't seem to take the hint that Ivy doesn't want to sleep with him, at least until she declines after he literally jumps into her bed naked.
* RomanticFalseLead: [[spoiler:Kite Man's role as Ivy's fiancé is to create drama when Harley realizes she's in love with Ivy and have Ivy reject Harley despite clearly loving her back because she isn't steady like Kite Man. After Kite Man finds out Ivy cheated on him with Harley and then Gordon ruins their wedding, Kite Man breaks down crying because he realizes he and Ivy were never meant to be. He coldly but mercifully breaks off the engagement and tells Ivy that she doesn't want to be with him and he deserves someone better. Harley and Ivy hook up minutes later.]]
* RomanticRunnerUp: [[spoiler:Ivy did like Kite Man and accepted his marriage proposal because she thought she probably wouldn't find someone better to settle with. A few episodes later, however, Ivy starts an affair with Harley in some heated moments. At their wedding, Kite Man realizes Ivy is just forcing herself to choose him to run away from her feelings for Harley. Kite Man then calls off the wedding because he recognizes he deserves better, which gives way for Ivy to hook up with Harley.]]
* SatelliteLoveInterest: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While Kite Man does have some defined characterization, his role and participation in all episodes he appears in are focused on his romantic relationship with Ivy. Whenever he helps Harley's crew, it's to do Ivy a favor.
* SmallNameBigEgo: His "powers" are pretty pathetic, to say the least, but he seems to think they're a ''lot'' cooler than they actually are. Ironically, his absolute confidence in himself is something that Poison Ivy considers attractive.
* SweetAndSourGrapes: He manages to conquer Ivy when he decides to stop acting like a Casanova.
* ThrowTheDogABone: [[spoiler:He seems to have picked himself up quite well by Season 3. He not only got an award nomination in a separate villain award show but is also in a happy and stable relationship with Golden Glider.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: After [[spoiler:Ivy is apparently killed by the Joker]], Kite Man refuses to leave the side of her grave for weeks. Subverted in the season 2 finale, [[spoiler: where he leaves Ivy to fight the cops by herself, after finally getting fed up with her and Harley's shenanigans.]]
* UselessSuperpowers: He openly admits that taking a cab would be faster than a kite.
** Subverted in Season 2, where his kite is Harley and Ivy's main mode of transport, and his ability to fly over the ruined Gotham is increasingly important.
* WeaksauceWeakness: The only villain whose crimes are weather-dependent.

* PrinceCharmingWannabe: He can't seem to take the hint that Ivy doesn't want to sleep with him, at least until she declines after he literally jumps into her bed naked.
* RomanticFalseLead: [[spoiler:Kite Man's role as Ivy's fiancé is to create drama when Harley realizes she's in love with Ivy and have Ivy reject Harley despite clearly loving her back because she isn't steady like Kite Man. After Kite Man finds out Ivy cheated on him with Harley and then Gordon ruins their wedding, Kite Man breaks down crying because he realizes he and Ivy were never meant to be. He coldly but mercifully breaks off the engagement and tells Ivy that she doesn't want to be with him and he deserves someone better. Harley and Ivy hook up minutes later.]]
* RomanticRunnerUp: [[spoiler:Ivy did like Kite Man and accepted his marriage proposal because she thought she probably wouldn't find someone better to settle with. A few episodes later, however, Ivy starts an affair with Harley in some heated moments. At their wedding, Kite Man realizes Ivy is just forcing herself to choose him to run away from her feelings for Harley. Kite Man then calls off the wedding because he recognizes he deserves better, which gives way for Ivy to hook up with Harley.]]
* SatelliteLoveInterest: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While Kite Man does have some defined characterization, his role and participation in all episodes he appears in are focused on his romantic relationship with Ivy. Whenever he helps Harley's crew, it's to do Ivy a favor.
* SmallNameBigEgo: His "powers" are pretty pathetic, to say the least, but he seems to think they're a ''lot'' cooler than they actually are. Ironically, his absolute confidence in himself is something that Poison Ivy considers attractive.
* SweetAndSourGrapes: He manages to conquer Ivy when he decides to stop acting like a Casanova.
* ThrowTheDogABone: [[spoiler:He seems to have picked himself up quite well by Season 3. He not only got an award nomination in a separate villain award show but is also in a happy and stable relationship with Golden Glider.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: After [[spoiler:Ivy is apparently killed by the Joker]], Kite Man refuses to leave the side of her grave for weeks. Subverted in the season 2 finale, [[spoiler: where he leaves Ivy to fight the cops by herself, after finally getting fed up with her and Harley's shenanigans.]]
* UselessSuperpowers: He openly admits that taking a cab would be faster than a kite.
** Subverted in Season 2, where his kite is Harley and Ivy's main mode of transport, and his ability to fly over the ruined Gotham is increasingly important.
* WeaksauceWeakness: The only villain whose crimes are weather-dependent.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: Unlike her comics counterpart, she harbors no delusions about Wonder Woman being Snow White or Superman being Prince Charming.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Compared to her comics counterpart, who wants to recreate her empire, she's an unrepentant mass-murder, blames being trapped in a tax book on her being a villainess trying to be as good as her male contemporaries, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and is pretty snarky in general]].
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While she is more villainous, she's also far more personable than her comics counterpart.
* AdaptationalWimp: To a degree. In the comics, the Queen of Fables is an otherworldly force of fiction made real who - as long as there is imagination - can warp all of reality to her whims. In this series, she appears to be a (comparatively) normal human witch who uses a spell that is limited to bringing fictional characters to life.
* AmbitionIsEvil: In her view, to be the top villain you have to cross all moral boundaries.
* AndIMustScream: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Although she was trapped in a book for 30 years, she was still able to semi-function in society.
* AnimateInanimateObject: She was sealed inside a copy of the U.S. Master Tax Guide by Zatanna, but can still talk (and smoke). She's freed in "[[Recap/HarleyQuinn2019S1E7TheLine The Line]]" when it's deemed cruel and unusual punishment by a court.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Given that the Justice League deemed her dangerous enough to seal her into a book rather than just shipping her off to Arkham, and [[EvenEvilHasStandards even other villains find her brutal methods repulsive]], no one mourned her when Harley knocked her head off her shoulders.]]
* AxCrazy: Considering her go-to solution to every problem is killing everyone in her immediate vicinity in an incredibly gory fashion, she's definitely this.
* BadBoss: She treats her storytale characters like tools.
* BondVillainStupidity: Played with. As a storyteller villain she tries to kill people in a sensational manner, which to be fair no normal people could handle. She sent Harley's crew up the beanstalk to be killed by the giant living there, which would be effective since they couldn't fly back down, [[spoiler: and she didn't count on Kite Man rescuing them all]].
* BrokenPedestal: Harley used to look up to her as a role model, but she's disgusted by the Queen's mass-murdering habits when they team up.
* CardCarryingVillain: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. She uses being a bad guy as an excuse to do ''horrible'' actions and, thanks to her "villains don't give a fuck" mentality, feels absolutely ''no'' remorse for any of it. What's worse, she seems to feel that this level of extremism is ''the only way'' to make it as a villain.
* CoDragons: [[spoiler:She and the Scarecrow become this to the Joker, helping him in his plan to take over Gotham and kill Harley Quinn.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Sees her fate as this, as the male villains have done far worse and just get a stint in Arkham that they'll escape from half the time, while she got stuck in a book permanently. [[UnreliableNarrator Her actions when freed cast a little bit of doubt on how disproportionate it actually was, though.]] Ironically she herself is a big fan of this, advocating for [[MurderIsTheBestSolution ending]] [[LeaveNoWitnesses the bloodline]] to deal with a single witness.
* DissonantSerenity: She maintains her chipper SassyBlackWoman shtick even as she gruesomely murders scores of people in horrifying ways. It's disturbing enough to disgust [[EvenEvilHasStandards even Harley]] when they team up.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: A DefiedTrope. She sees standards as something ''heroes'' have, and that villains "don't give a fuck."
* EvilerThanThou: Implied to be the real reason why she was sealed in a book rather than simply sent to Arkham. Even other supervillains [[spoiler: with the exception of the Joker]] are disturbed by her mass-murders.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: After getting her head knocked off, instead of being furious or breaking down, her decapitated head just mutters a mildly annoyed "Aw shit".]]
* FalseFriend: Acted as a friend to Harley while she was sealed inside a book. Once freed, she quickly turns on Harley, even though Harley saved her from being sent to Arkham. While the two appeared to be friends when Harley saved her from being killed, [[spoiler: the Queen of Fables still sided with the Joker and attempted to kill Harley.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Comes off as AffablyEvil at first. When freed from the book she was sealed in, she proves to not only be an unrepentant mass murderer, but she will turn on supposed friends in a heartbeat.
* FedToPigs: Her choice of crime scene cleanup is summoning the Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs. Thank heavens [[GoryDiscretionShot we don't get to see them chowing down]], but the crew does, and it ain't pretty.
* GenreSavvy: As a story-themed villain, she knows all about the conventions of narrative (LeaveNoWitnesses, EverybodyHasStandards, etc).
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Her villain name is the Queen of Fables and she is evil and AxCrazy even by regular villain standards.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: She sits back and smokes cigarettes as she lets her Big Bad Wolf massacre an innocent family, and then puts the used cigarettes in the mouth of one of the corpses.
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:Well, "graceful" might be the wrong term for it, but when Harley outsmarts her and is about to kill her, she says "Props!" with a somewhat impressed tone before getting her head knocked off.]]
* {{Irony}}: She believes she was sealed in a book instead of being sent to Arkham on the grounds that she was a woman. She says this to Harley, who has been locked up in Arkham several times over.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: She intially acts like Harley's friend, but despite Harley saving her from Arkham, she turns on her. Harley saving her life does her no favors [[spoiler: as the Queen of Fables still works with the Joker to murder her and take over Gotham by the end of the season.]]
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: After she is released from her prison, she massacres an entire family and then double-crosses Harley's group. Despite this, Harley saves her from being killed by Jason Praxis and lets her go free. [[spoiler:She is eventually killed by Harley when karma finally bites her.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Once released from her tax book prison, she quickly becomes the darkest villain so far.
* LackOfEmpathy: According to her, villains "don't give a fuck" and aren't supposed to. Deconstructed too since she takes it to her own teammates.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: [[spoiler:She seemed more annoyed than hurt when Harley decapitated her.]]
* MundaneUtility:
** Trapped inside a copy of the U.S. tax code, she made the best of a bad situation and opened a tax filing business. She also has one of the gingerbread men doing office work (it was better than turning tricks on the street, according to the gingerbread man).
** She casually murders her own conjuration of Humpty Dumpty so she can make scrambled eggs.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Strongly believes in this trope. Someone (who's at a family reunion) sees you committing a crime? Brutally murder them and the entire family (just to make sure they avoid any revenge scenario).
* OffWithHerHead: [[spoiler:Harley knocks her head off with her bat in "Devil's Snare".]]
* OracularHead: The trailer for "Kite Man Hell Yeah" reveals [[spoiler: she's still alive even after being beheaded, but is now in a ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''-esque jar to carry her head.]]
* ProperlyParanoid: She murders an entire family to avoid any revenge scenario, and is vindicated when the one Harley spares comes back for revenge just as she predicted. Downplayed in that her killing an entire family just because of one witness could very much be considered as unnecessary.
* RaceLift: She is turned from a white woman to a black woman. Downplayed, however, as in comics version isn't white in the sense that she is Caucasian but in the sense that her skin is an inhuman, bleached pure white.
* SassyBlackWoman: Well, she is voiced by Wanda Sykes. Plus, it presents an appropriately absurd contrast to her initial predicament.
* SealedEvilInACan: The Justice League sealed her in a book after she tried to take over Gotham. Later on, it's suggested it was also because of her excessively violent approach as a supervillain.
* ShadowArchetype: She is what Harley would be if she didn't have any standards: unfettered and uncaring, flamboyant, selfish and sociopathic, and on good terms with the Joker.
* TheSociopath: She's heavily implied to be this. Superficially, she's charming and spirited, but is quick to reveal that she has no second thoughts about using mass murder as a solution to literally any problem, and not caring if other criminals are horrified. She has no remorse or conscience, openly calling herself a villain. She also displays a serious lack of empathy; besides not caring for those she murders, she seems unable to realize how her fellow supervillains could be disturbed by her actions or see her actions as rightfully excessive.
* SquishyWizard: She can summon deadly fairy tale creatures, but damage her book and she's rendered defenseless. [[spoiler:And a baseball bat to the back of the head will rip her head off of her shoulders.]]
* SummonMagic: She has the power to summon characters from fairy tales and use them at her command. She can also summon her staff and book.
* TheUnfettered: Even Harley (who entertained the thought of killing Robin) is completely horrified at what the Queen did to that family reunion, only for the Queen to flat-out state that she is a villain and that's what they do. Harley tries to argue EvenEvilHasStandards, only for the Queen to claim "villains don't give a fuck".
* UngratefulBastard: Harley rightfully points out that even though they eventually had a falling out, she still broke Fables out of prison and helped her get back in the villain game when nobody else gave her a chance, charity which Fables repays by trying to screw her over out of pride. Even after Harley ''saves her life,'' she still swears revenge for the hit to her ego.
* UnreliableNarrator: Her description of her fight against the Justice League shows them brutally attacking her henchmen. Harley Quinn sees through it, as "there is no way Superman did that". Tsaritsa admits that she's exaggerating "to add flavor." "The Line" reveals that this also applies to how she describes her fate. She states that she was imprisoned solely because she was a female villain trying to take over the world. The moment she's freed, it's revealed she's an unrepentant mass murderer whose scenes of gory destruction disgust [[EvenEvilHasStandards even other supervillains]].
* VillainHasAPoint: When Harley [[EvenEvilHasStandards states she has a line she won't cross]], the Queen of Fables responds that the Legion of Doom has no such standards. Harley's attempts to join the Legion do nothing but prove her point.
** The Justice League's willingness to throw Harley's entire crew into the Phantom Zone over a reasonable (but wrong) hunch with no trial or even much of an argument lends a ''lot'' of credence to her claim that them trapping her in the book was at least an overreaction. This is further vindicated by them being willing to kill Harley's crew while the crew are being mind controlled near the end of season 2 and deciding to banish the mind controlled Ivy to the Phantom Zone ''forever'' instead of retrieving her after [[spoiler:Dr. Psycho is defeated]].
** Her insistence that she needed to kill everyone at the family reunion to prevent any survivors from coming back to get revenge is proven right when Jason Praxis does exactly that. Downplayed, however, as the only reason he was after her was because she killed everyone at the family reunion.
* WouldHurtAChild: She kills several children in the Praxis family reunion.
* WrongGenreSavvy:
** She assumes she is free to go after being let out of the tax book, only to be informed that she still has to serve out the rest of her sentence and is being sent to Arkham.
** Most criminals don't find the wanton slaughter of innocents to be an acceptable solution to silencing a single witness. As such, her homicidal tendencies and extremely violent methods absolutely horrify Harley and her crew, who then decide to kick her out.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics, he has a reputation as a HarmlessVillain with a silly gimmick. Here, he's not only strong enough to beat the stuffing out of Clayface, but also clever enough to see through Clayface's disguise and trick him into blowing his cover. [[spoiler:And in "The Runaway Bridesmaid", he can shoot lightning from his hands.]]
* AdaptationalJerkass: While he was always evil, he was never quite as repulsive as shown here.
* AmbiguousSituation: It was not clear at first whether he's just really interested in Greek mythology or if, like in the comics, [[NapoleonDelusion he actually thinks he's the Greek god Zeus]]. Then Clayface posed as his whatif son (who Maxie thought didn't exist since the woman he hooked up with had an abortion), declaring said ''son'' was half-god, then that turned out to be a ruse as mentioned below.
** The ambiguity is ramped up in the second season where he's on Themysceria alongside God of War Ares as a male stripper. And in "The Runaway Bridesmaid", [[spoiler:he can shoot lightning from his hands.]]
* AncientGrome: His gimmick is a clear mishmash of Ancient Greek and Roman aesthetics.
* BaldOfEvil: This version of the character is bald.
* BeardOfEvil: As usual, he's got a prominent beard to match his "Greek God" motif.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:He seems genuinely committed to Nora Fries, even protecting her when Ivy and Kite Man's wedding goes awry.]]
* GoingCommando: He's not wearing any underwear under his toga, and he thinks nothing of exposing himself to people.
* HateSink: He's not meant to be likable at all; as he's tactless, narcissistic, petty, and a sexual predator.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's a self-absorbed, misogynistic creep with zero redeeming qualities.
* LightIsNotGood: He wears a white toga, which gives him a divine appearance and his lair is covered in gold, but make no mistake, he is an overall jerk.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He physically resembles pro wrestler/commentator turned politician Jesse "The Body" Ventura and his voice actor (who is known for being a talented impressionist) is doing a very obvious impression of him.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Not only is he a total creep who believes himself entitled to bang any woman he feels attracted to, but he also calls Dr. Psycho a midget, a slur aimed at short people.
* SecondLove: [[spoiler:Believe it or not, he's this to Nora Fries after Mr. Freeze's death. And from what we've seen, it's a surprisingly committed relationship despite Zeus's promiscuity.]]
* SelfServingMemory: When he sees Harley with Clayface and Dr. Psycho, he refers to Harley as the woman he chose not to have sex with, when what actually happened was that Harley bluntly turned him down the instant he tried to make a move on her.
* SexForServices: He tries to pressure Harley into having sex with him in exchange for his help in making her a better villain. Of course, she refuses.

* ShrineToSelf: His mansion is full of statues of himself, all nude with their junk on full display.
* STDImmunity: Averted; Harley takes a look at his junk and, since psychiatrists have some medical training, determines that he's got something nasty down there. On seeing a statue of him, Doctor Psycho agrees it looks "disturbing."
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: An odd twist in that the public ''knows'' that he's a villain, but he's well-respected as an entrepreneur and self-help guru in the villain community. Of course, none of them have any idea how depraved he truly is...

* AdaptationalCurves: Is noticeably fatter than any prior interpretation of the character.
* CompositeCharacter: He resembles the character as depicted in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' while having the real name of the mainline comic's interpretation of the character.
* EatenAlive: Ivy has Frank eat him and his fiancee so she and Kite-Man can have their wedding venue.
* EvilIsPetty: Shoots some mustard on Kite Man's tux just to make him look bad in front of the wedding hall's owner.
* EvilVersusEvil: He is Kite Man's archnemesis, despite both of them being (wannabe) "super"-villains.
* FatBastard: He's a bit chubby and acts like a grade A dick towards Kite-Man.
* MeaningfulName: After a fashion, in that a ''condiment'' is something you ''eat''.
* PungeonMaster: He ''loves'' his condiment puns.
* SitcomArchNemesis: He and Kite Man are constantly throwing petty pranks at each other rather than trying to kill each other. Gets subverted, with ''extreme'' prejudice, by the introduction of an ''actual'' supervillainess, Ivy, into the equation - and her man-eating plant, of course.
* UglyGuyHotWife: His fiancee Becca is much more attractive than he is.
* UnderwearOfPower: He wears a pair of tighty whities on the outside of his costume. It makes him look even more ridiculous.

to:

* AdaptationalCurves: Is noticeably fatter than any prior interpretation AdaptationalJerkass: On top of bearing none of the character.
sympathetic qualities that made him a TragicVillain in the comics, this version of Dent is an extremely arrogant politician who is a SlaveToPR, willing to endanger hostages just to protect his political career. The only good thing you could say about pre-disfigurement Dent is that he's charming enough to be really good buddies with Gordon and doesn't seem to be on any sort of bad terms with Batman.
* CompositeCharacter: AdaptationalLateAppearance: Two-Face is oridinarily one of Batman's earliest-encountered adversaries and was established to be responsible for killing the father of the second Robin Jason Todd, when "All the Best Inmates Have Daddy Issues" indicates that Dent in this continuity had yet to be disfigured and become Two-Face after the Joker had killed Jason Todd.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Unlike most depictions of Two-Face in comics and other media, Dent seems to lack the SplitPersonality that caused him to become Two-Face in the first place. [[spoiler:His moniker was implied to be based upon Harley's insult at him for being a two-faced politician.]] Also, only once does his trademark two-headed coin ever appear.
* AdaptationalUgliness: Looks more thuggish on ''both'' sides.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: His left half is a pale aquamarine color.
* AscendedExtra:
He resembles is little more than a {{mook}} for the Joker in one episode in Season 1. In Season 2, he becomes a founding member of the Injustice League, and becomes the de-facto leader once the Penguin and Mr. Freeze are killed and the Riddler is taken prisoner.
* BaldOfEvil: He's bald on the left half of his head.
* BrokenPedestal: When Harley first became a psychiatrist at Arkham, she looked up to Dent for his reputation as an honest politician. However, when Dent was willing to let a sniper shoot Harley to get at the Joker so he could protect his reputation, Harley gives Dent a SpitefulSpit and berates him as a "two-faced" crook.
* BullyingTheDragon: Despite the fact that Bane could easily snap him like a twig, he still bullies and heckles him at almost every turn.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Repeatedly betrays people that he works with, particularly in Season 3, something he repeatedly lampshades to dense ol' Gordon should be obvious in his name.
-->"Why? Why do you keep trusting me? My name is Two-Face. I almost feel like you're trolling me. Being two-faced is what I do! It's pretty straightforward!"\\
"Seriously? You're making this really not fun for me. "Two-Face" is my name!"
* TheCorrupter: As Jim Gordon's campaign manager in Season 3, he gets Gordon to become a sleazy, typical politician.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: Harley offhandedly remarks that Two-Face is blind in his left eye, something that is either implied or never brought up in previous adaptations[[note]]in fact, it's the Harley-centric graphic novel ''Comicbook/{{Harleen}}'' that touches upon the issue, by showing that Harvey's sight is damaged on the left eye due to it being bloodshot[[/note]].
* DiscOneFinalBoss:
** He's the leader of the Injustice League, but is ultimately arrested halfway through Season 2. [[spoiler:He still manages to cause havoc from behind bars however, as he manipulates Gordon into attacking Ivy's wedding in the finale.]]
** Gordon's subplot in Season 3 sees Two-Face acting as TheCorrupter, encouraging him to take morally dubious actions as part of his mayoral campaign and even going so far as to try to assassinate his rivals so Gordon can reinstate him as DA. Fortunately, his extremism gets Gordon to finally turn on him halfway through the season, leaving [[spoiler:Bruce's kidnapping of Frank]] as the main conflict.
* DueToTheDead: After [[spoiler:Mr. Freeze's death]], he keeps his seat open in his memory.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He agrees with the Scarecrow that the Joker's treatment of Bane is too harsh. [[{{Hypocrite}} Hypocritical]], considering how his own treatment of Bane isn't so different.
* EvilReactionary: Even prior to his deformation, he agreed with the use of torture on suspects and was pushing for a law to reduce the rights of prison inmates.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Two-Face is quite adept at faking friendliness to talk people into his way of thinking. [[EvilLawyerJoke Well, he was once a lawyer]].
* GunsAkimbo: He wields two guns simultaneously as part of his "duality" aesthetic.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Even before he got disfigured and became Two-Face he was still a {{slimeball}} who cared about nothing but his own self advancement.
* ManipulativeBastard: Plays Bane, Gordon and Harley with ease, never losing his cool while pushing them in the direction he wants them to go.
* MythologyGag: His attitude back as the DA and Harley's past view of him are much in line with Creator/DCBlackLabel's story ''ComicBook/{{Harleen}}''.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:To his credit, he did leave Mr. Freeze's seat open in memoriam of his death and was outraged when Bane tried to take the empty seat as his own.]]
* SlaveToPR: When he was still Harvey Dent, he ordered a sniper to shoot the Joker even when he took [[ShootTheHostage Harley as a hostage]], being more concerned about his PR at risk for letting the Joker escape.
* SleazyPolitician: When he was still Harvey Dent, he was the classic two-faced politician willing to kill complete innocents rather than risk losing popularity with the voters.
* TheSnackIsMoreInteresting: While still Harvey Dent, while watching Batman beat up the Joker for bringing up his murder of Jason Todd, he starts munching on licorice and asks if anyone wants some.
* SparedButNotForgiven: Even though Two-Face almost killed him and his stepson, Joker stops Gordon and Bethany from killing him. Joker admits he ''does'' want to kill Two-Face too, but doesn't believe it would solve anything.
* StealthPun: This version of
the character as depicted is not just two-faced in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' while having the real name sense that he literally has two faces due to his partial deformity, but also in that he's a duplicitous, back-stabbing bastard.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In "A High Bar" he seemed to enjoy Harley's company and thinks the Joker's treatment of Bane and other supervillains is harsh and clearly disagrees with it. Season 2 goes pretty much the opposite route, depicting him as a sleazy, manipulative misogynist who goes out of his way to bully Bane and loathes Harley with a passion.
* TwoFaced: Being Two-Face, half of his face is hideously deformed.
* WouldHurtAChild: In Season 3, he [[IHaveYourWife takes Joker's young stepson hostage]] to threaten Joker into dropping out
of the mainline comic's interpretation of the character.
* EatenAlive: Ivy has Frank eat
mayoral campaign and let Gordon win. After Joker easily agrees, Two-Face still tries to kill him and his fiancee so she and Kite-Man can have their wedding venue.
* EvilIsPetty: Shoots some mustard on Kite Man's tux just to make him look bad in front of the wedding hall's owner.
* EvilVersusEvil: He is Kite Man's archnemesis, despite both of them being (wannabe) "super"-villains.
* FatBastard: He's a bit chubby and acts like a grade A dick towards Kite-Man.
* MeaningfulName: After a fashion, in that a ''condiment'' is something you ''eat''.

* MadBomber: Is armed with every kind of grenade and C4 she can carry.
* NoRespectGuy: She's a Suicide Squad C-lister who Ivy only heard of as a failed Canadian terrorist. The only reason she's a threat is because of her explosives.
* {{Pun}}: As she says when introducing herself, Plastique is ''the bomb''.
* TakingYouWithMe: She delivers her coup de grace by detonating all the bombs she's wearing. Though it's a bit of a DelayedExplosion.

to:

* BadassLongcoat: She sports one AdaptationalBadass: He might be the NoRespectGuy among the villains, but in terms of sheer strength, he is much stronger than his comic counterpart, overpowering Batman when he is using a suit of PoweredArmor.
* AdaptationalDumbass: Far from the calculating genius Bane was in the comics, this Bane is a childish oaf. [[CharacterDevelopment As the series goes on]], however, it's demonstrated
that carries Bane is actually ''very'' intelligent and surprisingly pragmatic (he allows his goons to use Venom, which is normally his trump card, and he's fairly successful at rehabilitating other criminals)... it's only when he uses his intelligence in the service of villainy that he stumbles.
* AffablyEvil: For a ruthless villain, he's a rather pleasant and polite fellow. It's telling that he actually gets invited to Ivy's wedding, even though he helped put Harley on ice.
* BadBoss: When [[spoiler: King Shark]] takes too long to plant a bomb, Bane remotely detonates it, not caring that he grievously wounded his henchman.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He steps on defenseless fishes just to be an asshole to Aquaman.
* BerserkButton:
** After
all the disrespect that gets heaped on him, what ends up really setting him off in a deadly rampage is realizing that a colleague blatantly lied to him.
** [[GrammarNazi Improper grammar]], especially [[PrepositionsAreNotToEndSentencesWith ending sentences with a preposition]] and saying "anyways" instead
of her explosives.
"anyway".
** [[BuffySpeak That thing where]] you say goodbye to someone and then end up walking in the same direction.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's shown to be surprisingly affable with his fellow villains, but his answer to anything or anyone that mildly offends him is to try to blow them up.
* BombThrowingAnarchist: [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]], whenever something mildly upsets Bane, his immediate response is to threaten to blow whatever's upsetting him up.
* BullyMagnet: Every other villain goes out of their way to bully and insult Bane. His fellow members of the Injustice League continually mock him and [[EvilIsPetty give him a cheap chair to sit on because it looks funny.]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer: In spite of his dim and genial demeanor, Bane is surprisingly competent at a large number of fields. He manages to run one of the most successful gangs in Gotham, crushes Batman in combat, and turned the Pit into a highly successful prisoner-reform center.
* ButtMonkey: Despite his status in the Legion of Doom, he is still a StrawLoser who gets no respect.
* CelebrityCrush: On Creator/BrettGoldstein, who he attempts to have sex with [[ItMakesSenseInContext while temporarily transformed into a massively horny]] {{Kaiju}}.
* ChewingTheScenery: During a KangarooCourt trial involving Harley and Ivy.
-->"I sentence them to liiiiiiife... in prison of course."
* ClimaxBoss: For the Injustice League story arc. He's the last member faced by Harley and Ivy as Two-Face himself is taken down by Gordon, [[spoiler:and escaping the Pit prompts the pair's first kiss that sets the stage for the rest of the season's conflict.]]
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: The Joker tells him that Harley has HPV. Bane isn't sure how this matters, because he's pretty sure most sexually active adults have it.
* CompositeCharacter: Combines the classic Venom-using Bane with the ComicallySerious Bane from ''ComicBook/SecretSix'', with an exaggerated love of explosions and Tom Hardy's voice and eloquence from ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''.
* CowardlyLion: Bane takes a lot of crap from other villains who don't take him seriously. Yet when he actually gets into a fight in "Batman's Back, Man" he turns out be powerful enough to inflict a CurbStompBattle on Batman.
* CurbStompBattle: Faces Batman in "Batman's Back, Man." While Batman has a suit of PoweredArmor, Bane destroys him when he goes all out on Venom, leaves the suit so damaged it cannot operate, and leaves Batman with both his knees broken.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Blew up Gotham stadium because he got a Trivia Night question wrong, and then threatens to blow up the Penguin's nephew's bar mitzvah because Harley and the other villains made fun of him. As the series progresses, he threatens to blow up pretty much anything that mildly offends him.
* DoWrongRight: His reaction to Joshua putting a hit out on Harley using a Legion of Doom credit card is indignant scolding. Why? Because he left a paper trail by using the credit card (along with using it for frivolous purchases), rather than using cash.
* DumbassHasAPoint: He suggests that he and Two-Face team up to better prepare for Harley attempting to kill them, which Two-Face only begrudgingly does while making every effort to minimize him.
* EasilyForgiven: Despite locking Harley and Ivy in a high-security prison and generally antagonizing them for a whole season, he gets invited to Ivy and Kite Man's wedding.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: For all his faults, he mentions having a close relationship with his aunt.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's quite offended when the Joker badmouths the Penguin's nephew's bar mitzvah, recognizing the occasion as an important milestone.
* EvilBrit: Speaks with the quasi-British accent made famous by Creator/TomHardy's portrayal of the character. This is somewhat confusing, as it becomes evident later that this Bane is also Latino, like in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', [[spoiler:if the calavera-bearing papel picado strung about his slice of Gotham is anything to go by.]]
* EvilIsPetty: Pretty much any minor embarrassment Bane suffers -- losing a bar trivia game, being laughed at at a bar mitzvah, having a teenage employee call him "Bang" when he's a regular customer at the smoothie place -- will spur him to plan to blow up the target of his wrath.
* ExpressiveMask: His goggles and stitched up mouth move to display emotion.
* ExtremeDoormat: He's constantly letting other villains walk all over him and humiliate him even though he could easily break their bones if he let himself get angry.
* {{Foil}}: To Harley of all people. Like Harley, Bane isn't treated with any respect by his supervillain peers. Two-Face's treatment of Bane, in particular, is very similar to how the Joker manipulated Harley into being subservient to him. Unlike Harley, who eventually wises up and breaks from the Joker's control and abuse, Bane remains completely oblivious to the fact that Two-Face doesn't regard him as an equal even as the evidence is right in front of him.
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler: He takes Harley and Ivy's riot and escape from the Pit fairly well when we see him again in "[[Recap/HarleyQuinn2019S2E12LoversQuarrel Lovers' Quarrel,]]" simply reacting to the [[InternalReveal reveal]] of their love-making with a calm IKnewIt. He even attends Ivy and Kite Man's wedding.]]
* TheHeavy: Becomes the main antagonist of the Valentine's Day special after accidentally enlarging himself and going on a sex pheromone-induced rampage, though the actual main conflict is Harley trying to give Ivy the perfect Valentine's Day.
* HiddenDepths: He seems to have a gift for therapy, since, despite having limited resources, he was significantly more successful in rehabilitating criminals than Arkham Asylum ever was.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: [[DownplayedTrope Not in the sense that he is incompetent overall]], but when it comes to committing acts of pure villainy, he's a complete buffoon, as Harley's crew can testify when they worked for him temporarily.
* LaughablyEvil: While Bane is still a villain, most of his antics are relegated to petty acts which still befits the BlackComedy nature of the show.
* MadBomber: Is armed He likes explosions a lot and his standard answer to anything that annoys him is wanting to blow it up.
* MythologyGag:
** His design is taken directly from his ''Videogame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' depiction,
with his venom tubes changed from green to red.
** Similarly, pretty much
every kind time we see him, Bane is constantly quoting ''The Dark Knight Rises'' in paraphrased wording. And of grenade course, his voice is an exaggerated impression of Tom Hardy's Bane from that movie.
* NerdInEvilsHelmet: Drinks smoothies, tries to do magic tricks, cracks somewhat lame jokes, plays bar trivia,
and C4 she can carry.
wishes Pixar would make a sequel to ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}''.
* NiceGuy: Oddly enough, he's one of the nicest characters in the series thus far. He also seems to be the only one outside of her crew that treats Harley with respect, such as suggesting the newly formed Injustice League include her in negotiations on divying up Gotham rather than just hanging her up to dry (all the other villains yell at him and go ahead with their plans), and the Pit, a prison that he runs, is centered around rehabilitating the prisoners there through various forms of therapy.
* NoRespectGuy: She's Even though he's shown to be quite a Suicide Squad C-lister formidable villain as seen with his battle with Batman, his fellow villains don't treat him with any respect. It's implied that this is so Bane doesn't get the idea to turn against ''them'', as Bane is shown to have the most success running his fiefdom in Gotham City, titled "Baneton".
* NotSoHarmlessVillain:
** Despite being treated as DumbMuscle and a joke by his fellow villains, he or at the very least his goons are treated as TheDreaded by the other villains' goons on account of Bane supplying them with syringes of Venom. When Two-Face's gang pursued King Shark and Dr. Psycho, they quickly turned around once they entered 'Baneton'.
** When he finally gets into a fight with Batman in "Batman's Back, Man" he shows that he is still one of his most dangerous enemies, easily defeating him and breaking both of his legs.
* ParentalSubstitute: Acts as this to the Penguin's nephew, Joshua.
* PointyHairedBoss: He's a pretty affable supervillain, but "A Seat at the Table" shows that he's a pretty idiotic boss, so much so that Harley's crew begs her to get them out of his employment.
* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: Downplayed, but he mentions making a point to be supportive of his lesbian aunt.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Played with. When he makes a joke about the ocean being "the world's toilet" that flops, he mutters that political correctness is killing comedy, and he calls the guy at the smoothie place a "goddamn millennial". However, he's neither a bigot nor a sexist, and it mostly just makes him seem like more of a dweeb than an outright jerk.
* RealMenWearPink: He's a brutish supervillain
who Ivy only heard also seems to be a fan of ''Series/SexAndTheCity'', as he's purchased memorabilia from it.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Subverted - Bane ''wants'' to be this, but
a failed Canadian terrorist. The only reason she's combination of [[NoRespectGuy his 'allies' disrespect for him,]] his temper, insecurities, and willingness to destroy anything that irritates him, no matter the absurdity, make this impossible.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Or in this case, [[GlowingEyesOfDoom green]]. Upon pumping himself full of Venom, his red lenses on his mask turn

* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: [[spoiler:He survived the events of Season 1
because he was out of her explosives.
town dog-sitting for his aunt's girlfriend at the time, which is more explanation than his fellow Legion members get.]]
* {{Pun}}: As she says SelfReferentialHumor: More so than any other character in the show, Bane is a walking quotes machine for the portion of ''The Dark Knight Rises'' parody he represents; throughout his appearances Bane finds a way to incorporate many of the memorable lines from Tom Hardy's version of the character into his own dialogue.
* StraightEdgeEvil: "There's No Place to Go But Down" shows that Bane is all about channeling unproductive impulses into productive and healthy endeavors.
* SuperMode: The already huge Bane gets bigger
when introducing herself, Plastique is ''the bomb''.
* TakingYouWithMe: She delivers her coup de grace by detonating all
he uses the bombs she's wearing. Though Venom formula.
* TeenyWeenie: {{Defied|Trope}}. He is insistent that he has an adequately large penis --
it's a bit just that it ''looks'' small in comparison to the rest of him. Nevertheless, in ''A Very Problematic Valentine's Day Special'', Bane buys a ...ahem...''enhancement'' of a DelayedExplosion.
magical nature from Etrigan that backfires and...enlarges...[[{{Kaiju}} all of him]], and if the fact that as a kaiju he ends up using the trailer of a semi truck to cover himself is anything to go by, its size is nothing to scoff at.
* TrivialTragedy: For most of season 3 Bane considers Harley and Ivy refusing to give him back his pasta maker the worst betrayal he's ever experienced. He even goes to therapy to deal with it.
* VocalDissonance: He has a surprisingly soft voice for a hulking giant.
* WarriorTherapist: He spends his time rehabilitating prisoners in The Pit, through different kinds of therapy.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Not surprisingly, given his ''lucha libre'' theme, Bane's fighting style is based in wrestling.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: It's quasi-british, parodying the accent used by Tom Hardy from ''The Dark Knight Rises'', but his heritage is Latino so it makes very little sense.
* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Get him mad and upset enough, he'll go berserk. Batman himself learned this the hard way, while Two-Face did his best to keep him calm.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the comics, Golden Glider is very much TheVamp, a CuteButPsycho young woman who is typically one of the more outright villainous members of The Rogues, and though she can be personable she's got a vicious mean streak. Here she appears to be a NiceGirl who's somewhat socially awkward and anxious, and bonds with Poison Ivy over their shared insecurities around the other.
* AffablyEvil: She's a professional supervillain, but from little we've seen so far, she's a very pleasant and EndearinglyDorky woman.
* BirdsOfAFeather: She and Kite Man are both EndearinglyDorky and love gliding in the air. He and Poison Ivy both think her skates are like "Kites for the feet".
* ChurchGoingVillain: Subverted, at first she seems appalled that Ivy would do supervillain work on a Sunday before admitting that was a joke.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Hates onions, so Kite Man stopped using them in his chili for her.
* DominoMask: She wears a golden mask that covers the area around her eyes.
* EndearinglyDorky: Is a shy woman who makes weird jokes and admits to being addicted to screens. Still, she and Kite Man are clearly happy together, and even Ivy takes a liking to her.
* TheMissusAndTheEx: She runs into Ivy in the Villy Awards. After getting over the initial awkwardness, they bond over what a good boyfriend Kite-Man is and they agree they're both lucky of having dated him.
* NiceGirl: Despite her supervillain status and her social anxiety, she's quite easy to talk to.
* PowerGlows: When she activates her skates, they and herself glow quite bright.
* RaceLift: She's played by and appears to be an Asian-American in this version.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Her only appearance introduces her as Kite-Man's new girlfriend and she doesn't have much characterization beyond being a NiceGirl.
* TrickedOutShoes: She uses a pair of specialized skates that allow her to [[NotQuiteFlight glide through the air]].

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: ActorAllusion: Riddler's voice actor, Jim Rash, is best known for playing Dean Pelton on ''Series/{{Community}}''. In Season 2, he becomes the comics, Golden Glider dean of Riddler U, even featuring an ad that feels as if it could have been made in ''Community''. Also, the fact that this version of the Riddler is very much TheVamp, both gay and [[BaldOfEvil bald]]--not common traits for the character--is most likely a CuteButPsycho young woman who reference to Rash as well.
* AdaptationalSexuality: This incarnation of the character
is typically revealed to be gay and in a relationship with the Clock King in Season 3.
* BadassInANiceSuit: He's a notorious villain in a snazzy suit with a DastardlyDapperDerby.
* BaldOfEvil: This Riddler has a shaved head.
* DeadpanSnarker: Being
one of the more outright villainous smartest villains in Gotham, it's not at all surprising that Riddler has a dry wit to go along with it. Especially notable when he's around Psycho.
* DemotedToDragon: [[spoiler: After the other

He brush, suggesting he's either gone totally bald since or now shaves his head to cover up an unflattering hairline.
* HeadTurningBeauty: Male example. His workout regime as a prisoner of Harley's crew makes him ''incredibly'' jacked,
and Poison Ivy it becomes a RunningGag for people (both male and female) to break off their train of thought when they get a look at his perfect musculature.
* TheHeavy: He's the most prominent villain throughout all of Season 2 with a major antagonistic role in

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He finds Clayface so obnoxious that he spoils his own riddle just to make Clayface stop talking.
* PlayAlongPrisoner: [[spoiler: After being captured in Season Two and made to power Harley's lair with a giant hamster wheel, he says he's okay with it because he is getting well-fed, plenty of exercise, and it's entertaining watching Harley's crew struggle to get on top. He also makes it very clear he can escape at anytime he feels
like "Kites it]]. [[spoiler: By episode 10 he's done just that albeit with the help of Dr. Psycho.]]
* PragmaticVillainy: He joins the Injustice League in Season 2 to avoid fighting over the remains of New New Gotham.

* PrisonsAreGymnasiums: Justified -- after capturing him, Harley and co. have him run on one of his human-sized hamster wheels to provide them with power. He makes no secret of how he's fine with it because he's getting jacked.

* AdaptationalSexuality: He's in a homosexual relationship with Riddler in this incarnation.
* FreakinessShame: He's ashamed of having a [[NonHumanHead clock for a head]], but Riddler thinks he's beautiful just the way he is.
* MoralityPet: He brings out a surprisingly loving side of Riddler.
* NonHumanHead: His head is a clock. He cries from minute marks on opposite sides of his head.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: His only actual appearance in the series has him going with Riddler to the Villy Awards because they were nominated as "Best Couple" of the year.
* UnholyMatrimony: He's dating his fellow supervillain Riddler. However, by the time they're introduced as a couple, they seem to have put villainy aside to run an escape room company together.

to:

* AdaptationalSexuality: AdaptationalDiversity: The Penguin normally strongly identifies as a sophisticated, upper-class WhiteAngloSaxonProtestant. In this continutity, however, he is Jewish.
* BadBoss: He casually kills one of his employees for saying hi to him, because several already did that and he felt it was disingenuous if said too many times. When Clayface disguises himself as a waiter and tells the Penguin he killed the last one, [[ButForMeItWasTuesday he doesn't even question it]].
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Deconstructed. He kills employees so often that when a transformed Clayface replaces the real waiter, he instantly believes the story that he killed Jeffery despite knowing the guy by name and Clayface's nervous hesitation. His casual dismissal that it "Does sound like [me]" shows how he can't fact check something that should be important.
* DeathByDisfigurement: [[spoiler: Harley bites off his nose, leaving a gaping, bloody hole in its place. He dies not long after.]]
* DefeatMeansFriendship: He applauds Harley when she defeats Aquaman and seems to have forgiven her for ruining his nephew's bar mitzvah. This doesn't stop him from becoming Harley's enemy in Season 2 when she rejects his offer to work with the Injustice League.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He at least cares enough about his nephew to throw him a lavish bar mitzvah.

* FreakinessShame: ImprobableAimingSkills: He's ashamed able to shoot a running Harley with a tranquilizer dart, and later shoot a bullet down the barrel of having Harley's gun to destroy it. The calm with which he does the latter indicates that he pulls this kind of thing off with some regularity.
* KosherNostra: He says he decided to become
a [[NonHumanHead clock for crime lord during his own Bar Mitzvah.
* NasalTrauma: [[spoiler: Harley bites off his nose in the Season 2 premiere.]]
* {{Nepotism}}: He's trying to get his nephew involved in organized crime.

* SignatureHeadgear: It wouldn't be the Penguin without a snazzy topper. He even gives an identical hat to Joshua to symbolize how he'll pass his criminal enterprise down to him.
* SinisterSchnoz: Like his comics counterpart, he has a long, thin, nose. In Season 2, Harley bites it off.
* StarterVillain: For Season 2, being the first member of the newly-formed Injustice League that Harley has to get rid of in her quest to take over Gotham.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: [[spoiler:He
thinks Harley is an easy kill after her bat gets broken. Unfortunately for him, what he calls a "defrosted gymnast" has an easy time dodging his grenade launcher; Harley has the fight won as soon as he loses sight of her in the aftermath.]]

* AdaptationalHairstyleChange: He has a beard when his ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' and Franchise/{{Arrowverse}} incarnations were clean-shaven.
* AdaptationalHeroism: In the cartoon he originated from, he's an attempted murderer who caused a mass breakout at Arkham and very nearly took over the world. Here, the most villainous thing he's done is force Bruce and Selina into having a therapy session.
* CompositeCharacter: His personality is more similar to the Franchise/{{Arrowverse}} version of the character as he's non-malicious and uses his powers to try and fix Bruce and Selina's relationship, but like his original incarnation he seems to be a human with the ability to hypnotize people into singing instead of [[GreatGazoo some kind of divine being]].
* TheMusicMeister: The TropeNamer himself, with the power to force people to sing against their will.
* RaceLift: He was white in his original appearance on ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' and in his Arrowverse incarnation, but is black here.

to:

* AdaptationalHairstyleChange: He ActOfTrueLove: [[spoiler:Witnessing Mr. Freeze willingly giving up all his blood to save his terminally ill wife is what makes Harley realize what true love is about.]]
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Victor is usually depicted as a geeky-looking, bald man. Here, he
has a beard muscular build, chiseled jawline, and a snazzy mohawk.
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Before he went supervillain, Victor was a wealthy and powerful CEO rather than a white-collar scientist.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While other versions of Mr. Freeze have been sympathetic, they were typically portrayed as [[{{Pun}} cold]] and anti-social. This interpretation however is outright hospitable, offering meals to Harley and her crew even
when his ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' and Franchise/{{Arrowverse}} they tried to kill him.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: As noted above, most
incarnations were clean-shaven.
of Mr. Freeze are [[TinMan outwardly]] [[TheStoic cold and emotionless]] while this version is much more friendly and personable.
* AdaptationalHeroism: In AffablyEvil: Freeze is not beyond reason and can be downright pleasant, so long as your death will not help him cure Nora, or you do not stand in his way of curing her.
* AlasPoorVillain: Downplayed in that this version is hardly even a villain. [[spoiler:Freeze dies a HeroicSuicide to save Nora and proclaims his love for her before encouraging for her to move on from his death.]]
* AndIMustScream: He describes his life trapped inside
the cartoon he originated from, he's an attempted murderer who caused a mass breakout at Arkham cryosuit as "god forsaken" and very nearly took over something he only [[DrivenToSuicide put up with]] to save find a way to save Nora.
* AntiVillain: His sympathetic motivations, AffablyEvil manners and
the world. Here, HeroicSacrifice he pulls at the end of "Thawing Hearts" put him into this territory.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He shows Harley's crew the alarming amount of snow rats that have died because of his failed experiments to find a cure for Nora.
* BaitAndSwitch: The show plays with idea that Freeze might just be a lunatic deluding himself that Nora is his wife, going in hand with the New 52's retcon before Rebirth switched it back. She's frozen with an expression of horror, has a feeding tube leading into her mouth, and Freeze speaks as if she's still conscious. Harley projects her own issues with the Joker onto him, believing he destroyed Nora's life. However, in the end, the show sticks with the infinitely more popular backstory of Freeze and Nora being deeply in love with each other, with Freeze as his
most villainous thing he's done sympathetic version.
* CastingGag: As Freeze here
is force Bruce and Selina into having like the ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries BTAS]]'' version, then this won't be the first time Molina has played [[Film/SpiderMan2 a therapy session.
supervillain scientist who lost his wife.]]
* ComicallySerious: Given the nature of the wacky situations he is in, it's impossible for him not to be this.
* CompositeCharacter: His physical appearance is based on his ''ComicBook/New52'' depiction (particularly the blue mohawk and his containment suit's lack of sleeves), but his origin and personality is more similar are closer to the Franchise/{{Arrowverse}} version of the character as he's non-malicious and uses his powers to try and fix Bruce and Selina's relationship, but like his original pre-Flashpoint incarnation where Nora actually was his wife and he seems became the way he is as a side effect of keeping Nora cryogenically frozen while trying to cure her of a terminal illness.
* CrazyPrepared: When [[NoMisterBondIExpectYouToDine having lunch with Harley's crew]] he has them frozen to their chairs to keep them from trying anything.
* CurbStompBattle: Easily defeats Harley's crew with his freezing gun. When Harley makes an attempt at fighting him again, it ends with her getting frozen again.
* DitzyGenius: He blows open the Penguin's door because he couldn't push it open... only for the Penguin to explain the door is ''pulled'' open.
* DyingDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler: As he lies dying as a result of Ivy's cure for Nora's disease, his final words are to encourage Nora to live a happy life.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: There is no way to stress this enough: Nora is ''everything'' to Victor.
* HappilyMarried: Victor and Nora adore and respect one another completely.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Takes Ivy's drug that will convert his blood to Nora's, even though it will kill him, all in the name of saving Nora's life and without a second of hesitation. Even Doctor Psycho is moved to tears by this.]]
* HeroicSuicide: [[spoiler:His act of giving his life to save his wife has shades of this.]] By his own admission, he views his life inside the cryo-suit as a form of hell, and he only tolerates it so he can live long enough to save Nora. [[spoiler: It is possible that he finds the fact that the transfusion will kill him a good thing]].
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler: With his last breaths, he encourages Nora to move on from his death and find happiness.]]
* JustifiedCriminal: He participates in organized crime to gather the funding necessary to research a cure for his wife's illness.
* LivingOnBorrowedTime: He needs to live inside a cryo-suit so he can extend his lifespan and continue the research needed to find a cure for Nora.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: The whole motive of his villainy is finding a cure for his dying wife.
* MythologyGag: Closed captioning labels Freeze's accent as German ([[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent despite it sounding more Russian]]). In live-action, Freeze was played by two Austrians, Creator/OttoPreminger and Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger, with their own accents, and by the British Creator/GeorgeSanders and American Creator/EliWallach both doing German accents. Mr. Freeze just having an accent must itself be the gag.
* NobleDemon: He is willing to become a criminal to fund his research, but there are still lines he won't cross. [[spoiler:It's revealed that he froze Harley to placate the rest of the Injustice League, who were actually planning to kill her.]]
* NominalVillain: Mr. Freeze only turned to crime in order to find a cure for his wife Nora. He displays none of the cruelty and sadism common among the other Gotham villains. In fact, the most evil thing he does in the show is freezing Harley and putting her on display as a sculpture, and the only reason he did that was to keep the other villains from killing her. [[spoiler:In the end, he sacrifices himself to save his wife, proving himself
to be a human good man deep down.]]
* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: He and "[[HumanPopsicle Nora]]" host a dinner for Harley and crew as a show of good faith. It's just as disturbing as you might imagine.
* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: PlayedForLaughs. He froze Harley to save her life, and acknowledged in disgust that his fellow crime lords loved it due to being white, cis-gendered, heterosexual men who wanted to make a woman an object of mockery. King Shark soon calls out Harley for attacking [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative the most "woke" ice-themed villain in New New Gotham]].
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Freeze's choice to [[HeroicSuicide let himself die]] for the sake of saving Nora proves that deep down he's a good person at heart.]]
* SenseLossSadness: He can no longer eat cooked food as it would fatally raise his body temperature and he asks Dr. Psycho to describe what it's like to eat a piece of steak during dinner.
* SheepInSheepsClothing: As Harley found out way too late, he really is nothing like the Joker. [[spoiler:He [[CassandraTruth really was]] keeping his wife frozen for her own safety and really did have every intention of giving up Supervillainy once she was cured. Even when Harley freed her prematurely his only concern was keeping her safe and never sought revenge on her, he even passed up the opportunity of killing her to save Nora in favour of a HeroicSacrifice.]]
* ShoutOut: His story about how he and Nora met was literally just like ''Film/YouveGotMail'', so [[BaitAndSwitch you'd be forgiven for thinking he was making it up]].
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:After Harley accidentally condemns Nora to die by freeing her from her ice prison, Mr. Freeze threatens to blow himself up along
with everyone present unless Harley can get Ivy to find a cure for her.]]
* TokenGoodTeammate: It's revealed in "Thawing Hearts" that he only froze Harley because
the ability alternative was the Injustice League killing her, and his goals are more sympathetic than those of the other four.
* UnseenNoMore: In Season 1, he's mentioned by a realtor showing his former lair
to hypnotize people into singing instead of [[GreatGazoo some kind of divine being]].
Harley and Ivy, and the place definitely had his custom renovations style. When he finally shows up in Season 2, this is lampshaded by Harley noting that it's "been a minute".
* TheMusicMeister: The TropeNamer himself, UnusualEyebrows: His eyebrows are long and kinked.
* WouldHitAGirl: Knocks out Harley
with the power to force people to sing against their will.
* RaceLift: He was white in his original appearance on ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold''
her own bat; justified since she attacked him twice before that, and in his Arrowverse incarnation, but considering how "woke" he is, it's more than likely Mr. Freeze is black here.pretty egalitarian. (He also needed a test subject for an experiment and unconscious subjects are easier to handle.)

The ruler of Apokolips.



* BattleBoomerang: He uses boomerangs as weapons.
* TheBogan: As usual, he's an Australian crook with no scruples to speak of.

* BattleBoomerang: AdaptationalNiceGuy: Surprisingly, yes. Most versions of Darkseid would not even entertain the thought of giving an army to anyone unless it would benefit any of his plans. That said he is still the same ruthless dictator who desires the eradication of free will throughout the known universe. Likewise, him mentioning Harley was filling a void was him attempting to genuinely advise her.

compensate with his army. And then there's thinking Orange Julius is a person and not understanding that Chuck is a person's name in "Lover's Quarrel".
* LikesOlderWomen: "Gotham's Hottest Hotties" implies he's TheDreaded: While partially played for comedy, Harley's crew is clearly terrified of him and makes point to always keep reffering to him in some grandoise way to avoid ticking him off. [[spoiler: Even when Doctor Psycho steals the helmet that boosts his power he is still terrified of Darkseid and is quick to suck up to him in his presence.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Tells Doctor Psycho that not even he would call someone [[CountryMatters
a gerontophile, cunt]].
** [[spoiler: [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Doctor Psycho explaining his backstory where]] [[InsaneTrollLogic he saw so many people die in a Ferris wheel accident is the reason he hates women]] prompts Darkseid to simply state that Psycho's reasoning makes no sense and almost end the transmission with him.]]
* GalacticConqueror: He is introduced crushing the skull of [[ComicBook/NewGods Forager]] after declaring the conquest of his world.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Easily the most dangerous villain to appear in the show so far, but he doesn't appear interested in Earth, much less Gotham City. His only role so far has been supplying an army of his Parademons to Harley in Season 2. [[spoiler: After Harley backs out of the deal, Doctor Psycho takes control of the army and makes a new deal to be given Earth in exchange for Harley's head.]]
* HeroKiller: Harley and her crew first meet him in person as he slaughters Forager.
* KnightOfCerebus: Similar to Lex Luthor, he has plenty of funny moments, but the plot of the second season does get more serious with his introduction and Harley getting an army of Parademons. [[spoiler: When Doctor Psycho is displeased
with Harley remarking not wanting to use the Parademon army to TakeOverTheWorld, he takes control of the Parademons and plans to conquer the world himself.]]
* LargeAndInCharge: He is a giant, even making King Shark look tiny in comparison.

that he goes to offers her the senior center because means to conquer Earth. Downplayed since when she backs out of the deal, he loves "mature women".swears to kill her in the future.]]
* VillainHasAPoint: Quickly notices Harley is trying to fill a void in her heart and advises that what she is doing won't work.
* VillainOfAnotherStory: He is a GalacticConqueror and a much more dangerous villain than any of the show's cast, but his appearance so far has just been as a benefactor to Harley Quinn.

Talia may not be a direct threat to Harley and Ivy, but it's her manipulations on Ivy that causes Ivy to double down on upstaging Lex Luthor, driving him to [[spoiler:block the sun and steal Superman's powers]], while Talia takes away the Bat-Family's vast resources before resurrecting [[spoiler:Nightwing]] to serve under her.

[[folder:Kite Man]]
!!Kite Man (Charles Brown)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hq_kiteman.png]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/MattOberg
A perverted and cowardly loser supervillain who uses a giant kite to commit crimes. In spite of his silliness and questionable competence, he displays a surprising level of emotional intelligence.
----
* AffablyEvil: While he's supposed to be a villain like most of the cast, he's an all round decent guy. He doesn't even count as 'evil' because [[HarmlessVillain he never does anything bad]].
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He implies that he lost the category of Best D-List Villain to Codpiece.
* AmicableExes: [[spoiler:Despite how badly their relationship fell apart, when he reappears in Season 3, he displays no hostility towards neither Ivy nor Harley and even happily makes note on how Harley's relationship with Ivy has made her a better person. Regardless of how things ended between them, he's grateful that dating Ivy made him enough of a big name to be nominated at the Villy Awards.]]
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: He falls in love with Ivy because she's the only person who has recognized his good qualities enough to give him a chance and stand up for him.
* BettyAndVeronica: [[spoiler:In Season 2, Ivy is torn between her feelings for her friend Harley and her fiancé Kite Man. Kite Man is the Betty because he's pleasant, stable and dorky, making him the "safer" relationship option next to Harley. However, he is the one that breaks off the relationship when he realizes he's not the one for her.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler: He is nice and forgiving despite being a villain but he finally reaches his breaking point after Gordon ruins the wedding. Even though he's angry with Ivy, he's merciful enough to end the relationship for Ivy since she doesn't want to be with him. He still leaves her and Harley behind for the police but he knows they're both capable of escaping the police.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: His ability to fly allows him to save people when need be. First time being when he saves Ivy, Harley and her crew from a cyclops through flight and squirting hot sauce in said cyclops' eye.
* BreakoutCharacter: Became one enough to have his own spin-off in ''Kite Man: Hell Yeah!''.
* ButtMonkey: He's always abused or humiliated in some way but he seemingly takes it in stride and Ivy does know he means well when he helps out.
* CasanovaWannabe: He thinks he's a smooth-talking ladies' man, but he's just a perverted idiot. He admits later in his debut he's not too good with women. It's when he drops the act that Ivy shows interest in him.
* CatchPhrase: "Hell yeah."
* ChivalrousPervert: As he says so himself, he cares about what Ivy thinks as much as he cares about her ass.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Towards Poison Ivy, who initially sees him as a joke like everyone else. Once she realizes he can be nice to be around, she starts giving in to his advances. He does successfully manage to enter a relationship with Ivy some time before "The Line", but Ivy displays some embarrassment towards how open he is about their relationship.
* DumbassHasAPoint: While he's not dumb per say, he himself says he's simple. However, he's no fool as he makes it known:
** On his first date with Ivy, after he realizes that Ivy is embarrassed to been seen with him and wears extra clothing to conceal her idenity, [[WhatTheHellHero he calls her out for it]].
** In "A Fight Worth Fighting For" he points out that him and Ivy getting married before stopping the army of Parademons is a bad idea. Ivy, trying to AltarTheSpeed due to [[spoiler:her one night stand with Harley]], ignores Kite Man's advice; he is quickly proven right.
* EndearinglyDorky: Although he comes across as a lame loser at first, Ivy discovers he's a friendly, dorky, if somewhat pushy guy and starts dating him. Harley later agrees that Kite Man is a very likable guy once she sees his honest, if misguided attempt to make Ivy happy by stealing a "whimsical" ring for her.
* ExtremeDoormat: He never stands up for himself when people mock him and treat him like a joke. However, he doesn't let it get to him much. It's implied that this is the result of his own parents being condescending of him because [[MuggleBornOfMages he lacks superpowers while his parents have them.]] This allow him to mesh well for a bit with Ivy because of her own assertive personality. [[spoiler: Ironically enough, he sticks up for himself against her when he realizes that they're not meant to be together and breaks it off for them.]]
* FemaleFighterMaleHandler: He has this with Ivy. Ivy has control over plant life, decent combat skills and thus a dangerous villainess. Kite Man is a NonActionGuy who doesn't help much, but he can fly and he's quite good at flying with the kite.
* FreudianExcuse: ''Possibly.'' While his self-confidence is genuine, one gets the feeling that his earlier act and social awkwardness is the result of his parents' verbal abuse toward him.
* GracefulInTheirElement: Say what you will about him, he ''is'' a good flier and knows how to use his kite well when needed. [[spoiler: Ivy calls Kite Man to save her, Harley, and her crew from a death trap sprung on them by the Queen of Fables. He saves them ''magnificently''. He later saves Harley from death.]]
* GreenAndMean: Downplayed. His outfit is green and he's a villain but is very nice and friendly.
* HarmlessVillain: Much like in the comics, he's not taken seriously as a villain in the slightest and is seen as a joke by pretty much every other supervillain.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Even though it's conditional, he can still ''fly'' and has used it to pull off some impressive stunts (including saving Harley's crew plus Ivy from a ''cyclops''). In Season 2, he's able to use this to help Harley and Ivy cover good ground over the ruined Gotham.
* HiddenDepths:
** At first he tries being a womanizer but to no avail as Ivy is put off by his perversion and inability to take a hint. When he decides to drop this and starts interacting with Ivy with no ulterior motive, Ivy starts becoming interested in him and the two start dating. Through Kite Man, Ivy starts coming further out of her shell and Kite Man learns that being himself is enough to win someone over.
** Season 2 reveals that he knows Morse-Code, which comes in handy when translating for [[spoiler: Sy's cybernetic eye]].
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: He never officially joins Harley's crew, but since he's dating Ivy, he does go out of his way to give them a ride and saves their lives at least once.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:There are definitely some sour [[WeddingSmashers feelings]] motivating his decision to break off his engagement with Ivy, but it is partially because he realizes that Ivy's heart belongs to Harley rather than him. He tells her upfront that he isn't the person for her.]]
* InformedLoner: Zigzagged. He is portrayed as an outcast who everyone treats as a joke, but not many characters actually mock him as such, and he still gets invited to villain parties and is able to convince random bar goons to work jobs for him. However, this is to demonstrate that even someone as pathetic as Kite Man gets more respect in the villain community than Harley, thus his JokeCharacter status [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools is used to draw attention to a major theme of the series]].
* InLoveWithLove: Both he and Ivy have shades of this to each other. From his end, his hurry to marry her before she's completely ready is more motivated by a fear of not being able to find another woman who actually likes him so much ''and'' is as cool as Ivy. However, [[spoiler: he does break it off through a combination of realizing they're not meant for each other and that he deserves better.]]
* MeaningfulName: His real name is Charles Brown... yes, just like the ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' comic strip character. Much like his namesake, he gets no respect from his peers and also has a crush on a red-haired girl. Furthermore, his kite-theme is a reference to how the comic strip character would get his kites stuck in the infamous "kite-eating tree". Kite Man's red-haired girlfriend can ''control'' trees.
* MuggleBornOfMages: His father and mother have ice powers and the ability to fly, respectively. Both were disappointed when Kite-Man had no powers.
* NeverBareheaded: Even the time he thought (wrongly) that Ivy was going to have sex with him, he stripped off everything but kept on the mask.
* NiceGuy: Perverted tendencies and attempted villainy aside, he's actually a pretty decent guy, even sorta befriending Ivy by the end of his debut and then the two becoming a couple a few episodes later.
* NonActionGuy: Probably the only supervillain in the show who can't fight at all.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Despite being a supposed supervillain, he is never actually seen doing anything evil during the series proper. If he weren't hanging out with villains, it would be a stretch to call him one at all.
* PrinceCharmingWannabe: He can't seem to take the hint that Ivy doesn't want to sleep with him, at least until she declines after he literally jumps into her bed naked.
* RomanticFalseLead: [[spoiler:Kite Man's role as Ivy's fiancé is to create drama when Harley realizes she's in love with Ivy and have Ivy reject Harley despite clearly loving her back because she isn't steady like Kite Man. After Kite Man finds out Ivy cheated on him with Harley and then Gordon ruins their wedding, Kite Man breaks down crying because he realizes he and Ivy were never meant to be. He coldly but mercifully breaks off the engagement and tells Ivy that she doesn't want to be with him and he deserves someone better. Harley and Ivy hook up minutes later.]]
* RomanticRunnerUp: [[spoiler:Ivy did like Kite Man and accepted his marriage proposal because she thought she probably wouldn't find someone better to settle with. A few episodes later, however, Ivy starts an affair with Harley in some heated moments. At their wedding, Kite Man realizes Ivy is just forcing herself to choose him to run away from her feelings for Harley. Kite Man then calls off the wedding because he recognizes he deserves better, which gives way for Ivy to hook up with Harley.]]
* SatelliteLoveInterest: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While Kite Man does have some defined characterization, his role and participation in all episodes he appears in are focused on his romantic relationship with Ivy. Whenever he helps Harley's crew, it's to do Ivy a favor.
* SmallNameBigEgo: His "powers" are pretty pathetic, to say the least, but he seems to think they're a ''lot'' cooler than they actually are. Ironically, his absolute confidence in himself is something that Poison Ivy considers attractive.
* SweetAndSourGrapes: He manages to conquer Ivy when he decides to stop acting like a Casanova.
* ThrowTheDogABone: [[spoiler:He seems to have picked himself up quite well by Season 3. He not only got an award nomination in a separate villain award show but is also in a happy and stable relationship with Golden Glider.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: After [[spoiler:Ivy is apparently killed by the Joker]], Kite Man refuses to leave the side of her grave for weeks. Subverted in the season 2 finale, [[spoiler: where he leaves Ivy to fight the cops by herself, after finally getting fed up with her and Harley's shenanigans.]]
* UselessSuperpowers: He openly admits that taking a cab would be faster than a kite.
** Subverted in Season 2, where his kite is Harley and Ivy's main mode of transport, and his ability to fly over the ruined Gotham is increasingly important.
* WeaksauceWeakness: The only villain whose crimes are weather-dependent.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/VanessaMarshall
A villainess with a size-shifting ability. She is Doctor Psycho's ex-wife and mother of Herman Cizko.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: This Giganta isn't shown openly engaging in any acts of supervillainy in the show and is instead living the suburban life and trying to raise her son.
* CastingGag: A traditional nemesis of Wonder Woman, she shares her voice actress in this show.
* TheFaceless: Her first appearance has her so tall, her face is out of shot the entire scene. Her face is revealed in her second appearance.
* GiantWoman: True to form, she is extremely tall.
* JerkAss: Openly refers to Ivy as a "jolly green whore" as she's [[ImStandingRightHere standing right there]]. Though considering how she is associating with Doctor Psycho, the man who mind controlled her into conceiving his child without her consent, she isn't totally wrong even if her anger is misplaced.
* MindRape: Doctor Psycho uses mind control to make her love him, marry him, and have their child. During a talk show interview, she snaps out of it and calls him out on it.
* MythologyGag: Her costume is basically what she wore in ''[[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice League]]'', only with her hair no longer in a ponytail.
* TakingTheKids: After snapping out of his mind control, she leaves Doctor Psycho and takes their son Herman with her.
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: Inverted; despite being a founding member of the Legion of Doom in ''Super Friends'' and other adaptations, this version of Giganta appears to have no affiliation with the Legion.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: She's a GiantWoman who was married to the DepravedDwarf Doctor Psycho, though not by choice.

[[folder:The Queen of Fables]]
!!Queen of Fables (Tsaritsa)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hq_fables.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WandaSykes
A sorceress with the power to conjure living versions of fables.
----
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Unlike her comics counterpart, she harbors no delusions about Wonder Woman being Snow White or Superman being Prince Charming.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Compared to her comics counterpart, who wants to recreate her empire, she's an unrepentant mass-murder, blames being trapped in a tax book on her being a villainess trying to be as good as her male contemporaries, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and is pretty snarky in general]].
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While she is more villainous, she's also far more personable than her comics counterpart.
* AdaptationalWimp: To a degree. In the comics, the Queen of Fables is an otherworldly force of fiction made real who - as long as there is imagination - can warp all of reality to her whims. In this series, she appears to be a (comparatively) normal human witch who uses a spell that is limited to bringing fictional characters to life.
* AmbitionIsEvil: In her view, to be the top villain you have to cross all moral boundaries.
* AndIMustScream: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Although she was trapped in a book for 30 years, she was still able to semi-function in society.
* AnimateInanimateObject: She was sealed inside a copy of the U.S. Master Tax Guide by Zatanna, but can still talk (and smoke). She's freed in "[[Recap/HarleyQuinn2019S1E7TheLine The Line]]" when it's deemed cruel and unusual punishment by a court.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Given that the Justice League deemed her dangerous enough to seal her into a book rather than just shipping her off to Arkham, and [[EvenEvilHasStandards even other villains find her brutal methods repulsive]], no one mourned her when Harley knocked her head off her shoulders.]]
* AxCrazy: Considering her go-to solution to every problem is killing everyone in her immediate vicinity in an incredibly gory fashion, she's definitely this.
* BadBoss: She treats her storytale characters like tools.
* BondVillainStupidity: Played with. As a storyteller villain she tries to kill people in a sensational manner, which to be fair no normal people could handle. She sent Harley's crew up the beanstalk to be killed by the giant living there, which would be effective since they couldn't fly back down, [[spoiler: and she didn't count on Kite Man rescuing them all]].
* BrokenPedestal: Harley used to look up to her as a role model, but she's disgusted by the Queen's mass-murdering habits when they team up.
* CardCarryingVillain: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. She uses being a bad guy as an excuse to do ''horrible'' actions and, thanks to her "villains don't give a fuck" mentality, feels absolutely ''no'' remorse for any of it. What's worse, she seems to feel that this level of extremism is ''the only way'' to make it as a villain.
* CoDragons: [[spoiler:She and the Scarecrow become this to the Joker, helping him in his plan to take over Gotham and kill Harley Quinn.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Sees her fate as this, as the male villains have done far worse and just get a stint in Arkham that they'll escape from half the time, while she got stuck in a book permanently. [[UnreliableNarrator Her actions when freed cast a little bit of doubt on how disproportionate it actually was, though.]] Ironically she herself is a big fan of this, advocating for [[MurderIsTheBestSolution ending]] [[LeaveNoWitnesses the bloodline]] to deal with a single witness.
* DissonantSerenity: She maintains her chipper SassyBlackWoman shtick even as she gruesomely murders scores of people in horrifying ways. It's disturbing enough to disgust [[EvenEvilHasStandards even Harley]] when they team up.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: A DefiedTrope. She sees standards as something ''heroes'' have, and that villains "don't give a fuck."
* EvilerThanThou: Implied to be the real reason why she was sealed in a book rather than simply sent to Arkham. Even other supervillains [[spoiler: with the exception of the Joker]] are disturbed by her mass-murders.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: After getting her head knocked off, instead of being furious or breaking down, her decapitated head just mutters a mildly annoyed "Aw shit".]]
* FalseFriend: Acted as a friend to Harley while she was sealed inside a book. Once freed, she quickly turns on Harley, even though Harley saved her from being sent to Arkham. While the two appeared to be friends when Harley saved her from being killed, [[spoiler: the Queen of Fables still sided with the Joker and attempted to kill Harley.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Comes off as AffablyEvil at first. When freed from the book she was sealed in, she proves to not only be an unrepentant mass murderer, but she will turn on supposed friends in a heartbeat.
* FedToPigs: Her choice of crime scene cleanup is summoning the Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs. Thank heavens [[GoryDiscretionShot we don't get to see them chowing down]], but the crew does, and it ain't pretty.
* GenreSavvy: As a story-themed villain, she knows all about the conventions of narrative (LeaveNoWitnesses, EverybodyHasStandards, etc).
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Her villain name is the Queen of Fables and she is evil and AxCrazy even by regular villain standards.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: She sits back and smokes cigarettes as she lets her Big Bad Wolf massacre an innocent family, and then puts the used cigarettes in the mouth of one of the corpses.
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:Well, "graceful" might be the wrong term for it, but when Harley outsmarts her and is about to kill her, she says "Props!" with a somewhat impressed tone before getting her head knocked off.]]
* {{Irony}}: She believes she was sealed in a book instead of being sent to Arkham on the grounds that she was a woman. She says this to Harley, who has been locked up in Arkham several times over.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: She intially acts like Harley's friend, but despite Harley saving her from Arkham, she turns on her. Harley saving her life does her no favors [[spoiler: as the Queen of Fables still works with the Joker to murder her and take over Gotham by the end of the season.]]
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: After she is released from her prison, she massacres an entire family and then double-crosses Harley's group. Despite this, Harley saves her from being killed by Jason Praxis and lets her go free. [[spoiler:She is eventually killed by Harley when karma finally bites her.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Once released from her tax book prison, she quickly becomes the darkest villain so far.
* LackOfEmpathy: According to her, villains "don't give a fuck" and aren't supposed to. Deconstructed too since she takes it to her own teammates.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: [[spoiler:She seemed more annoyed than hurt when Harley decapitated her.]]
* MundaneUtility:
** Trapped inside a copy of the U.S. tax code, she made the best of a bad situation and opened a tax filing business. She also has one of the gingerbread men doing office work (it was better than turning tricks on the street, according to the gingerbread man).
** She casually murders her own conjuration of Humpty Dumpty so she can make scrambled eggs.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Strongly believes in this trope. Someone (who's at a family reunion) sees you committing a crime? Brutally murder them and the entire family (just to make sure they avoid any revenge scenario).
* OffWithHerHead: [[spoiler:Harley knocks her head off with her bat in "Devil's Snare".]]
* OracularHead: The trailer for "Kite Man Hell Yeah" reveals [[spoiler: she's still alive even after being beheaded, but is now in a ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''-esque jar to carry her head.]]
* ProperlyParanoid: She murders an entire family to avoid any revenge scenario, and is vindicated when the one Harley spares comes back for revenge just as she predicted. Downplayed in that her killing an entire family just because of one witness could very much be considered as unnecessary.
* RaceLift: She is turned from a white woman to a black woman. Downplayed, however, as in comics version isn't white in the sense that she is Caucasian but in the sense that her skin is an inhuman, bleached pure white.
* SassyBlackWoman: Well, she is voiced by Wanda Sykes. Plus, it presents an appropriately absurd contrast to her initial predicament.
* SealedEvilInACan: The Justice League sealed her in a book after she tried to take over Gotham. Later on, it's suggested it was also because of her excessively violent approach as a supervillain.
* ShadowArchetype: She is what Harley would be if she didn't have any standards: unfettered and uncaring, flamboyant, selfish and sociopathic, and on good terms with the Joker.
* TheSociopath: She's heavily implied to be this. Superficially, she's charming and spirited, but is quick to reveal that she has no second thoughts about using mass murder as a solution to literally any problem, and not caring if other criminals are horrified. She has no remorse or conscience, openly calling herself a villain. She also displays a serious lack of empathy; besides not caring for those she murders, she seems unable to realize how her fellow supervillains could be disturbed by her actions or see her actions as rightfully excessive.
* SquishyWizard: She can summon deadly fairy tale creatures, but damage her book and she's rendered defenseless. [[spoiler:And a baseball bat to the back of the head will rip her head off of her shoulders.]]
* SummonMagic: She has the power to summon characters from fairy tales and use them at her command. She can also summon her staff and book.
* TheUnfettered: Even Harley (who entertained the thought of killing Robin) is completely horrified at what the Queen did to that family reunion, only for the Queen to flat-out state that she is a villain and that's what they do. Harley tries to argue EvenEvilHasStandards, only for the Queen to claim "villains don't give a fuck".
* UngratefulBastard: Harley rightfully points out that even though they eventually had a falling out, she still broke Fables out of prison and helped her get back in the villain game when nobody else gave her a chance, charity which Fables repays by trying to screw her over out of pride. Even after Harley ''saves her life,'' she still swears revenge for the hit to her ego.
* UnreliableNarrator: Her description of her fight against the Justice League shows them brutally attacking her henchmen. Harley Quinn sees through it, as "there is no way Superman did that". Tsaritsa admits that she's exaggerating "to add flavor." "The Line" reveals that this also applies to how she describes her fate. She states that she was imprisoned solely because she was a female villain trying to take over the world. The moment she's freed, it's revealed she's an unrepentant mass murderer whose scenes of gory destruction disgust [[EvenEvilHasStandards even other supervillains]].
* VillainHasAPoint: When Harley [[EvenEvilHasStandards states she has a line she won't cross]], the Queen of Fables responds that the Legion of Doom has no such standards. Harley's attempts to join the Legion do nothing but prove her point.
** The Justice League's willingness to throw Harley's entire crew into the Phantom Zone over a reasonable (but wrong) hunch with no trial or even much of an argument lends a ''lot'' of credence to her claim that them trapping her in the book was at least an overreaction. This is further vindicated by them being willing to kill Harley's crew while the crew are being mind controlled near the end of season 2 and deciding to banish the mind controlled Ivy to the Phantom Zone ''forever'' instead of retrieving her after [[spoiler:Dr. Psycho is defeated]].
** Her insistence that she needed to kill everyone at the family reunion to prevent any survivors from coming back to get revenge is proven right when Jason Praxis does exactly that. Downplayed, however, as the only reason he was after her was because she killed everyone at the family reunion.
* WouldHurtAChild: She kills several children in the Praxis family reunion.
* WrongGenreSavvy:
** She assumes she is free to go after being let out of the tax book, only to be informed that she still has to serve out the rest of her sentence and is being sent to Arkham.
** Most criminals don't find the wanton slaughter of innocents to be an acceptable solution to silencing a single witness. As such, her homicidal tendencies and extremely violent methods absolutely horrify Harley and her crew, who then decide to kick her out.

[[folder:Maxie Zeus]]
!!Maxie Zeus
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hq_fables_8.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WillSasso
A well-known supervillain and motivational speaker who patterns himself after the Greek Gods
----
* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics, he has a reputation as a HarmlessVillain with a silly gimmick. Here, he's not only strong enough to beat the stuffing out of Clayface, but also clever enough to see through Clayface's disguise and trick him into blowing his cover. [[spoiler:And in "The Runaway Bridesmaid", he can shoot lightning from his hands.]]
* AdaptationalJerkass: While he was always evil, he was never quite as repulsive as shown here.
* AmbiguousSituation: It was not clear at first whether he's just really interested in Greek mythology or if, like in the comics, [[NapoleonDelusion he actually thinks he's the Greek god Zeus]]. Then Clayface posed as his whatif son (who Maxie thought didn't exist since the woman he hooked up with had an abortion), declaring said ''son'' was half-god, then that turned out to be a ruse as mentioned below.
** The ambiguity is ramped up in the second season where he's on Themysceria alongside God of War Ares as a male stripper. And in "The Runaway Bridesmaid", [[spoiler:he can shoot lightning from his hands.]]
* AncientGrome: His gimmick is a clear mishmash of Ancient Greek and Roman aesthetics.
* BaldOfEvil: This version of the character is bald.
* BeardOfEvil: As usual, he's got a prominent beard to match his "Greek God" motif.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:He seems genuinely committed to Nora Fries, even protecting her when Ivy and Kite Man's wedding goes awry.]]
* GoingCommando: He's not wearing any underwear under his toga, and he thinks nothing of exposing himself to people.
* HateSink: He's not meant to be likable at all; as he's tactless, narcissistic, petty, and a sexual predator.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's a self-absorbed, misogynistic creep with zero redeeming qualities.
* LightIsNotGood: He wears a white toga, which gives him a divine appearance and his lair is covered in gold, but make no mistake, he is an overall jerk.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He physically resembles pro wrestler/commentator turned politician Jesse "The Body" Ventura and his voice actor (who is known for being a talented impressionist) is doing a very obvious impression of him.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Not only is he a total creep who believes himself entitled to bang any woman he feels attracted to, but he also calls Dr. Psycho a midget, a slur aimed at short people.
* SecondLove: [[spoiler:Believe it or not, he's this to Nora Fries after Mr. Freeze's death. And from what we've seen, it's a surprisingly committed relationship despite Zeus's promiscuity.]]
* SelfServingMemory: When he sees Harley with Clayface and Dr. Psycho, he refers to Harley as the woman he chose not to have sex with, when what actually happened was that Harley bluntly turned him down the instant he tried to make a move on her.
* SexForServices: He tries to pressure Harley into having sex with him in exchange for his help in making her a better villain. Of course, she refuses.
* ShamelessFanserviceGuy: He doesn't care if anyone sees his junk and makes no effort to cover himself if his toga goes askew. He even serves as one of the male strippers in Themysceria.
* ShockAndAwe: [[spoiler:He can shoot lightning blasts from his hands.]]
* ShrineToSelf: His mansion is full of statues of himself, all nude with their junk on full display.
* STDImmunity: Averted; Harley takes a look at his junk and, since psychiatrists have some medical training, determines that he's got something nasty down there. On seeing a statue of him, Doctor Psycho agrees it looks "disturbing."
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: An odd twist in that the public ''knows'' that he's a villain, but he's well-respected as an entrepreneur and self-help guru in the villain community. Of course, none of them have any idea how depraved he truly is...
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: He uses an elbow drop on Clayface and then threatens a piledriver.

----
* NonActionGuy: Brilliant at building traps, but he's essentially helpless when Harley finally confronts him face to face.

A villain who uses condiments as weapons. Kite Man's nemesis.
----
* AdaptationalCurves: Is noticeably fatter than any prior interpretation of the character.
* CompositeCharacter: He resembles the character as depicted in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' while having the real name of the mainline comic's interpretation of the character.
* EatenAlive: Ivy has Frank eat him and his fiancee so she and Kite-Man can have their wedding venue.
* EvilIsPetty: Shoots some mustard on Kite Man's tux just to make him look bad in front of the wedding hall's owner.
* EvilVersusEvil: He is Kite Man's archnemesis, despite both of them being (wannabe) "super"-villains.
* FatBastard: He's a bit chubby and acts like a grade A dick towards Kite-Man.
* MeaningfulName: After a fashion, in that a ''condiment'' is something you ''eat''.
* PungeonMaster: He ''loves'' his condiment puns.
* SitcomArchNemesis: He and Kite Man are constantly throwing petty pranks at each other rather than trying to kill each other. Gets subverted, with ''extreme'' prejudice, by the introduction of an ''actual'' supervillainess, Ivy, into the equation - and her man-eating plant, of course.
* UglyGuyHotWife: His fiancee Becca is much more attractive than he is.
* UnderwearOfPower: He wears a pair of tighty whities on the outside of his costume. It makes him look even more ridiculous.

->'''Voiced by:''' Cathy Ang
Kite-Man's new girlfriend, after his break-up with Ivy.
----
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the comics, Golden Glider is very much TheVamp, a CuteButPsycho young woman who is typically one of the more outright villainous members of The Rogues, and though she can be personable she's got a vicious mean streak. Here she appears to be a NiceGirl who's somewhat socially awkward and anxious, and bonds with Poison Ivy over their shared insecurities around the other.
* AffablyEvil: She's a professional supervillain, but from little we've seen so far, she's a very pleasant and EndearinglyDorky woman.
* BirdsOfAFeather: She and Kite Man are both EndearinglyDorky and love gliding in the air. He and Poison Ivy both think her skates are like "Kites for the feet".
* ChurchGoingVillain: Subverted, at first she seems appalled that Ivy would do supervillain work on a Sunday before admitting that was a joke.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Hates onions, so Kite Man stopped using them in his chili for her.
* DominoMask: She wears a golden mask that covers the area around her eyes.
* EndearinglyDorky: Is a shy woman who makes weird jokes and admits to being addicted to screens. Still, she and Kite Man are clearly happy together, and even Ivy takes a liking to her.

* NiceGirl: Despite her supervillain status and her social anxiety, she's quite easy to talk to.
* PowerGlows: When she activates her skates, they and herself glow quite bright.
* RaceLift: She's played by and appears to be an Asian-American in this version.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Her only appearance introduces her as Kite-Man's new girlfriend and she doesn't have much characterization beyond being a NiceGirl.
* TrickedOutShoes: She uses a pair of specialized skates that allow her to [[NotQuiteFlight glide through the air]].

* FreakinessShame: He's ashamed of having a [[NonHumanHead clock for a head]], but Riddler thinks he's beautiful just the way he is.
* MoralityPet: He brings out a surprisingly loving side of Riddler.
* NonHumanHead: His head is a clock. He cries from minute marks on opposite sides of his head.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: His only actual appearance in the series has him going with Riddler to the Villy Awards because they were nominated as "Best Couple" of the year.
* UnholyMatrimony: He's dating his fellow supervillain Riddler. However, by the time they're introduced as a couple, they seem to have put villainy aside to run an escape room company together.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LarryOwens

A therapist of sorts, able to force others to sing about their feelings.
----
* AdaptationalHairstyleChange: He has a beard when his ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' and Franchise/{{Arrowverse}} incarnations were clean-shaven.
* AdaptationalHeroism: In the cartoon he originated from, he's an attempted murderer who caused a mass breakout at Arkham and very nearly took over the world. Here, the most villainous thing he's done is force Bruce and Selina into having a therapy session.
* CompositeCharacter: His personality is more similar to the Franchise/{{Arrowverse}} version of the character as he's non-malicious and uses his powers to try and fix Bruce and Selina's relationship, but like his original incarnation he seems to be a human with the ability to hypnotize people into singing instead of [[GreatGazoo some kind of divine being]].
* TheMusicMeister: The TropeNamer himself, with the power to force people to sing against their will.
* RaceLift: He was white in his original appearance on ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' and in his Arrowverse incarnation, but is black here.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlineElasmar

Mother of Damian Wayne, and CEO of Wayne Enterprises during Bruce's incarceration.
----
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She's a black-haired woman with an aloof and businesslike personality.
* DatingCatwoman: She was in a "passionate love affair" with Batman despite being his enemy, and has a son with him.
* DisappointedInYou: In Season 4 finale, she expresses her disappointment in Poison Ivy when the latter [[spoiler:refuses to give up on completely taking down Lex Luthor and pushes her vendetta against him instead of handling it like a "professional" as Talia would.]]
* DoesntKnowTheirOwnChild: When she returns to the Bat Family, she fails to realize that Damian is a grown boy now, thinking he would still be in diapers. She even looks at buying a pacifier for him.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Talia serves as this for Season 4. Talia may not be a direct threat to Harley and Ivy, but it's her manipulations on Ivy that causes Ivy to double down on upstaging Lex Luthor, driving him to [[spoiler:block the sun and steal Superman's powers]], while Talia takes away the Bat-Family's vast resources before resurrecting [[spoiler:Nightwing]] to serve under her.
* HighPoweredCareerWoman: A hardass billionaire businesswoman adored by Gotham's other girlbosses.
* IcyBlueEyes: She has cold blue eyes that match her cold personality.
* IronLady: She comes back to take over Wayne Enterprises while her ex is in jail and commands the Bat-Family like a total hardass.
* MaternallyChallenged: While she's a successful career woman, she clearly has no idea how to be a proper mother to Damian, treating her 12-year-old son no different from the last time she saw him as a baby. She gets him presents that are completely inappropriate for his age, like a pacifier and a rattle.
* MissingMom: She has been absent from Damian's life since his infancy.
* MsFanservice: As per usual for her appearances. She has a [[ForeignFanservice sexy Middle Eastern accent]], wears form-fitting clothing, and has a fantastic body. Talia is also shown in a photo making out with Bruce Wayne in nothing but a revealing white dress. Harley Quinn even calls her a "cashmere goddess" upon first seeing her.
* ParentalNeglect: Talia hasn't seen her son since he was in diapers. She said she would start taking care of Damian after her return, but almost nothing changes between them because she's too busy with work to spend quality time with him. For example, she forgets his birthday and gives him a present several months late.
* PetTheDog: She's far from being a decent mother to Damian, but she does send ninja bodyguards to keep him safe after [[spoiler:Nightwing is found dead]].
* PlayingBothSides: Talia works with both the Bat Family and the Legion of Doom. This actually bites her as after Ivy ruins her business thanks to her help. She can't help but give Ivy some respect.
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: Bruce named her as conservator of Wayne Enterprises in his absence. She quickly begins cutting funds for the Bat Family's crime fighting and instead shows more interest in her own shady interests like funding wars in foreign countries to influence world politics.
* WorthyOpponent: She sees Ivy as a worthy business rival, especially after Ivy's tree planting plan tanked Wayne Enterprises' stock.
