* VillainousMotherSonDuo: Terry contends with a family of thieves, Ma Mayhem and her two sons, Carl and Slim, as they commit a series robberies involving valuable jewels that Ma Mayhem claims were originally hers before her former husband left her and their sons. Ma also claims at one point that she does love her sons, but [[AbusiveParent will often berate and slap them for their stupidity and/or incompetence]] throughout the episode. Which makes for a somewhat amusing contrast to Terry, and ostensibly Bruce, as Terry was forced to become an adoptive father to the titular Eggbaby for a class assignment (and ultimately proves him to be a pretty good parent at that) that he had to carry with him throughout the entire episode. While Bruce, the stern hardass he can be, not only serves as Terry's father figure and mentor, he will go to incredible lengths to protect Terry, even at the potential cost of his own life.

Terry is failing his Family Studies course. His teacher offers him one more opportunity to pass: a project in which he has to [[EggSitting take care of an Eggbaby as if it were an actual child]]. Unfortunately, his assigned partner [[AlphaBitch Blade]] dumps the entire project on him. This, combined with the arrival of a new gang of villains in Gotham, forces Terry to take the Eggbaby along with him on his missions as Batman.
