* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Scarlet Scarab objects to destroying Batman's world with Cyclone's bomb...because after that what other crime could top it?
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Has nothing to do with familiarity with in-universe fiction.


* GenreSavvy: Though Batman-disguised-as-Owlman quickly convinces the Injustice Syndicate that it's too dangerous to invade Batman's world, his inner monologue quickly notes that there's probably going to be a catch. Sure enough, the Syndicate immediately switches plans from invading the planet to destroying it with an antimatter bomb.

* {{Expy}}: Silver Cyclone can be considered the show's version of [[Characters/AvengersEnemies Marvel's Ultron]], as both are silver-schemed robots with red eyes and a genocidal hatred towards all life on Earth. They even have {{Good Counterpart}}s who are both red robots with a love for humanity.

* MirrorUniverse: Where the Injustice Syndicate (including such evil counterparts as Owlman, Blue Bowman, Silver Cyclone, and Scarlet Scarab) runs wild and has captured heroic versions of Batman's enemies.
* ProperlyParanoid: Blue Bowman is aware that "Owlman" is acting unusual and has him watched.
