** The sheer terror in knowing Ivy is able to pass herself off as totally normal, pretending to be Harvey's warmhearted, smitten girlfriend. Who'd ever suspect this beautiful, charming woman with 40s pin-up queen good looks is a devious, unhinged MadScientist [[TheVamp seductress]] gunning to avenge [[GaiasVengeance mother earth]]? Major ParanoiaFuel for those on the dating scene.

** When we see Isley tacking the Dent/Wayne penitentiary headline to her wall there's another right above it referring to "redwood deforestation." Apparently she already had other targets in mind...

** The fact Ivy has a trapdoor obscured cacti pit leads me to speculate Batman's intrusion was very much [[ProperlyParanoid anticipated]]. That or she used it to torture and kill prior victims.

** When Poison Ivy spies Bats struggling with her plant monster she utters this telling line:"What has my sweet little flytrap caught ''this time?''" Just how many unlucky souls were lured into that greenhouse to be fed to it?

** It's also not a bad plan if you think about it. The other super-villains roll their eyes and look down on Croc for his plan, but that's because they all suffer from crippling cases of ComplexityAddiction; their plans are all elaborate and complicated DeathTrap-laden schemes that inevitably fall apart because of one little thing they didn't anticipate that lets Batman PullTheThread and unravel everything. But if you really want to whack someone, there's a reason that bludgeoning is one of the oldest forms of murder known to man; [[BoringButPractical it's simple and it gets the job done]]. Croc isn't stupid; unlike the other villains, Croc is ''practical''. [[spoiler: And also unlike the other villains, Batman recognizes that.]]

** The fact that Hades is a ''good'' Greek God when compared to Zeus is a good way to establish that Batman is the good guy and Maxie (for being a TragicVillain) is just that, the villain.

* The episode "A Bullet for Bullock" has a classic EnemyMine: A [[CondescendingCompassion condescending Batman]] is helping a distrusting Bullock to discover who is trying to kill him. It’s a character study about Bullock, a NobleBigotWithABadge who, despite being an honest cop, his [[{{Jerkass}} Jerkassery]] has managed to alienate everyone around him. When Bullock invokes a NotSoDifferent scenario, Batman is insulted. At the end, when Bullock shows he is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold as he genuinely tries to thank Batman for his help, Batman answers "Forget it, Bullock. You’ve got enough problems." You could interpret this as CondescendingCompassion. It's not. Batman is genuinely scared by [[JacobMarleyWarning Bullock’s fate]]. Cue ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' and we see Bruce Wayne with an even worse case of LonelyAtTheTop.

* In "The Ultimate Thrill", Batgirl gets info on Roxy's location from two girls who are very obviously prostitutes. Now, Penguin is trying to run his place as a "classy" establishment, and while he does shady dealings, the prostitutes aren't dressed as high class call girls. So how did they know where Roxy was making her deals? Well, it's reasonable to assume that Roxy isn't so much concerned with gender as she is with [[BiTheWay how much of a thrill she can get with the experience.]] And she also was rumored to double for [[{{Bifauxnen}} some of the men in the movies she did stunts for.]] Maybe that's not the only place she doubled for them.

** Also this; If Harley ''did'' kill the Joker this would have given his the final victory, having made Harley into a killer like himself.

* It happened a lot early in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. For instance, the Scarecrow's out of control blimp would careen around the city, with Batman, the hostage, and the villains escaping in the nick of time. And the blimp crashes into a skyscraper, which may have been a high rise apartment complex filled with relaxing civilians. Or an office building where some late night workers were trying to put in enough hours for that promotion.
** In later episodes, at least, the characters [[NoEndorHolocaust tended to mention that no one was hurt or that the victim had narrowly survived]].
** In the beginning of the episode, "Joker's Favor", the Joker is driving around in a station wagon with luggage strapped to the top. The radio mentioned he had just escaped police custody, so the car probably wasn't his. Not that this is a stretch for the Joker, but this seems to imply that he killed some vacationers for their car.

* In "Fires From Olympus", Maxie Zeus shoots down a police blimp with his lightning cannon, presumably killing the cops piloting it. The flaming blimp then falls into Gotham City, where we see hundreds of people running away. There's no way all of those people could've gotten away in time...
** Later on in the same episode, Zeus shocks one of his henchman with his lightning rod. After this, the henchman isn't seen for the rest of the episode.
* In "Joker’s Favor", The Peregrinator’s Club offers an homage to Gordon that ComicBook/TheJoker wants to spoil... when Batman chases him, the Joker flees to an exact reproduction of a MayIncaTec temple built exactly like the original... including the {{BoobyTrap}}s... ''Just what kind of club does that?''

** In fact, this may be what makes the famous, [[TearJerker and heartbreaking,]] ending to the episode all the more poignant - in the moment, you could take this suicide bombing as an AxCrazy MurderSuicide, until Dahl's VillainousBreakdown puts it all in depressing perspective.
*** A couple of her lines explains everything: Dahl saw her fake life from her old show as the closest she had to real family. She wanted to die surrounded by what, to her, was a loving family that would never leave her.

*** The tie-in comics reveal that Ivy truly left Gotham during "House & Garden" and eventually settled down with [[ComicBook/SwampThing Alec Holland.]] Swampie never showed up in the DCAU, so this is likely a happy ending for her. But that doesn't mean the origin didn't eventually happen, with everything that entails...
