* IJustWantToBeNormal: Melanie makes it clear to her parents that she is sick of constantly being uprooted to commit crimes with the family and simply wants to settle down and have a normal teenage life.
* ItsPersonal: King has an extreme personal hatred of Batman since Bruce had sent the previous incarnation of the gang to jail. Unfortunately, he lets his own biases get in the way of his ability to make sound judgment calls when the gang finally does face Batman.
* LegacyCharacter: The Royal Flush Gang, mentioned in-universe by Bruce. Ironically, none of the "earlier" incarnations of the gang that appeared in the later series ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' really fit the description he uses here (that the gang leadership is always passed down directly by family members).
