Incredibly Lame Pun is a redirect and not a trope by itself.


** Kate tries the same approach in the present, but can't reach any nails in the wall. She ends up prying a hobnail from her boot to pick her handcuffs.

* IncrediblyLamePun: Alice's mutilations are dubbed by Gotham newspapers as being the work of the "Skin Pirate," because skin was "carved off the booty" of each corpse.[[note]]Making this worse is that she actually took skin from the ''thighs''.[[/note]]

* TrickAndFollowPloy: Kate releases Dodgson, but implants him with a TrackingChip so she can follow him to Alice's hideout. Unfortunately it turns out Alice found the chip and used it to lure Kate into her own trap.

* FingerMuzzle: Kate does this to Sophie to hush her when they run into each other on the farm. Given that Batwoman did the same, this clearly fuels Sophie's suspicions.

* DeadlyHug: Played with; she doesn't actually hug her father, but Alice does the same trick of luring someone close and then stabbing them.

Don't pothole trope names. Not 100% sure this is even an example, since it's later disproven.

For the last time, this is not a case of Didnt Think This Through, because it's not a result of Kate's plan having a forseeable hole in it. Kept the example under a better trope.


* BadassInDistress: Turns out that the diner Alice suggested she and Kate talk in was a setup, with Alice's ally Mouse posing as a waiter. He drugs Kate's drink, and the two chain her up in Mouse's old house while she's unconscious.



* DidntThinkThisThrough: Kate really shouldn't have let Alice lead her to an unfamiliar location. She gets slipped a mickey and chained up in Mouse's home for her trouble.
