* Maybe it's just me, but [[AIIsACrapshoot D.A.V.E.]] is scary in just how effective it is. Not only is D.A.V.E. able to beat the Batman in a fight ''multiple times'', but the flawless tech robbery, committing the perfect crime that includes the elements of all of Batman's villains (just like D.A.V.E. itself), even deducing Batman's identity in a frighteningly believable and easy way, infiltrating the Batcave, and setting up a perfect MortonsFork (either Alfred dies, or Batman's identity is revealed to the world) really do earn D.A.V.E. the title of [[TitleDrop Gotham's Ultimate Criminal Mastermind]].

* [[AdaptationalVillainy Harley Quinn.]] No, really. The Adorkable version audiences know and love is pretty much gone. She starts as a [[PsychopathicManchild psychopathic womanchild]] and doesn't get any better. She's willing to murder innocent civilians. She, among other things, gives a bigger SlasherSmile than Joker, tries to kill several people because they [[DisproportionateRetribution didn't like her show.]] Her actually having a decent relationship with Joker does ''not'' help.

*Phosphorus. Just...[[ILoveNuclearPower just Phosphorus]]. Up until this episode, Firefly is just a snarky thug for hire with a jetpack and lasers. One mishap with a radioactive isotope after being distracted by the media messing up his name and he's this show's equivalent of [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond Blight]]. Everything he touches incinerates, to the point where even the floor under his feet starts melting, he's able to project massive amounts of weaponized heat, and he's DrunkWithPower and developing a serious HairTriggerTemper, to the point where even his girlfriend, who likes him ''because'' of his bad-boy nature, is terrified of what he's becoming. And what's worse, according to Batman, he's in danger of a meltdown, taking most of Gotham with him, unless he absorbs more radiation, which would make him even '''more''' dangerous.
