* FormulaBreakingEpisode: Most of "Freddy Krueger vs Wolverine" is a normal battle (albeit full of VisualEffectsOfAwesome) featuring Krueger against Comics!Wolverine. Then, right before Wolverine's last verse, it's revealed that everything that happened prior was AllJustADream that was dreamt by Film!Wolverine. Despite this, Wolverine continues to rap against Krueger, and there are several hints that [[OrWasItADream it wasn't actually a dream]] -- or [[DreamWithinADream it was and Logan's still asleep]].

* NotWearingTights: Averted for most of the battle, in which Wolverine wears a comic-accurate costume (which he rarely does in live-action appearances.) Then in his last verse when he wakes up, the trope is played straight when he's wearing a singlet and jeans like in the movies.

* AllJustADream: The entire battle takes place in Wolverine's dreams.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Freddy claims that "heavy-metal bitches" find him attractive.
* AloneWithThePsycho: The settings Freddy appears in — an AbandonedPlayground, a narrow hallway, a dark alley, and [[DontGoInTheWoods a spooky forest]] all at nighttime — give off feelings of isolation. Even when Wolverine wakes up in his bed and appears to be alone at first, Freddy is still stalking him in the shadows.
* AtrociousAlias: Freddy mocks Wolverine's nickname, reasoning that a wolverine is just "some kind of an angry beaver".
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Freddy grows to giant size in Wolverine's nightmare.

* CanadaEh: Freddy makes a few jokes about Wolverine's Canadian heritage (ending a sentence with "eh?" and then comparing Logan to a beaver and Justin Bieber.)
* CardCarryingVillain: Freddy Krueger brags about being the product of a "twisted mind" and claims that beneath his terrifying exterior, there's nothing but the love of killing.
-->'''Freddy:''' You got a healing factor? I got a kill-bitches-on-the-ceiling factor\\
Under that mask, you're a singer/actor. Under my skin, I'm a slasher/slasher.
* CatapultNightmare: The last verse begins with Wolverine waking up from his nightmare, screaming and bolting upright in his bed. Mind you, due to his "Weapon X flashbacks" this is normal for him.
* CatchPhraseInsult: Alluding to his frequent use of the word in canon, Freddy uses the word "bitch" four times throughout the battle.
* ChekhovsGunman: Wolverine was mentioned twice since Season 4 (first by Stan Lee, then by Boba Fett) before finally making an appearance here.
* ChickMagnet: Freddy calls himself a chick magnet [[VisualPun after turning himself into a giant magnet to defeat Wolverine]].
-->'''Freddy:''' As for me, I'm a chick magnet\\
So heavy-metal bitches are real attracted.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Wolverine says that nothing Freddy conjures up could ever compare to Logan's "Weapon X" flashbacks.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: Freddy mocks his opponent for not getting together with Jean Grey.
* DirtyCoward: Wolverine berates Freddy Krueger for preying on sleeping victims, and Logan can even tell just by looking that Freddy is intimidated by him.

* DirtyOldMan: Wolverine mocks Freddy's fascination with young girls.
* DontGoInTheWoods: Part of the battle takes place in a spooky forest at night.
* DreamWeaver: He can enter dreams at will and alter them to his choosing, such as turning Wolverine's claws into miniature copies of himself.
* DreamWithinADream: After Freddy's second verse, where he seems to be overpowering his opponent, Wolverine wakes up in his bedroom... or so it seems. Freddy keeps appearing subtly in the background, showing that Logan's still asleep.
* EscapedFromHell: Wolverine brags, "I've been to hell and back and whooped Satan's ass"
* EvilMakesYouUgly: Wolverine repeatedly mocks his opponent's burnt appearance, which itself is the result of a "twisted mind".
* EvilSoundsDeep: Freddy's got a deep, booming voice, the better to scare people.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou:
** During his into screen, Freddy appears to be trying to claw his way out of the video, and even shoots the camera a DeathGlare a split second before the battle begins.
** There's also a brief shot of Freddy charging toward the viewer at top speed in a dark alley.
* GutturalGrowler: Both battlers have raspy, snarly voices for better intimidation.
* HealingFactor: He can heal from any injury. Freddy points this out, but isn't impressed because it won't work in a dream.
* HeightAngst: Freddy repeatedly mocks Wolverine's short stature.
-->'''Freddy:''' Look at the size of your body! How could I possibly think I'm in trouble?\\

* IWasBeatenByAGirl: Wolverine mocks Freddy for being defeated by a teenage girl named Nancy.
* IconicOutfit:
** Freddy appears in his brown fedora, red and green striped sweater, and knife glove — all of which are mocked by Wolverine as a "strap-on" and such.
** Wolverine starts out wearing a comic accurate yellow superhero costume in the first verse. He's wearing his white tanktop/blue jeans/brown belt ensemble from the X-Men Film Series during the last verse.
* ImNotAfraidOfYou: He gets a little shaken and caught off guard a few times, but Wolverine is not frightened by Freddy's tricks at all. Even after a vivid NightmareSequence where Freddy disempowers and nearly kills him, Logan isn't intimidated, but enraged.
-->'''Wolverine:''' You've got the wrong room if you're looking for fear\\
The only thing that scares me is a fridge with no beer!
* IronicNurseryTune: Freddy starts out singing his "One-two Freddy's coming for you" rhyme, even doing it in an AbandonedPlayground for emphasis.
* LogicalWeakness: Because Wolverine's bones are infused with Adamantium, Freddy manages to slow him down by turning his arms into giant magnets.
* MagnetismManipulation: In the dream world, Freddy turns his arms into giant magnets to defeat Wolverine.
* MediumAwareness: Freddy knows that both he and Wolverine are fictional characters, and even uses their respective origins as a diss.
-->'''Freddy:''' Bitch, I come from Creator/WesCraven's twisted mind.\\
You come from comic books that kids get when they're well behaved at Christmas time.
* MirrorMonster: In the final verse, Freddy briefly replaces Logan's reflection in his bedroom mirror.
* MonochromaticEyes: Not quite; Wolverine here still has black pupils, but his irises are white like his sclerae, which gives him a subtly unnatural and feral appearance.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Freddy uses a pair of giant magnets against Wolverine that would look tacky if anyone else wore, but considering the context, it makes it all the more awesome and terrifying.
* NeverSleepAgain: Freddy warns Wolverine to stay awake or he'll be in within Freddy's power.
* NiceHat: Freddy wears a brown fedora; Wolverine doesn't think it's so nice, however.
* NightmareSequence: The entire battle is a nightmare Freddy concocted to entrap and kill Wolverine.
* NoSell: Nothing Freddy does actually hurts Wolverine, and he shakes off the initial fear quickly.
-->'''Wolverine:''' That verse stung, bub, but I've already recovered.
* NotWearingTights: Averted for most of the battle, in which Wolverine wears a comic-accurate costume (which he rarely does in live-action appearances.) Then in his last verse when he wakes up, the trope is played straight when he's wearing a singlet and jeans like in the movies.
* OffscreenTeleportation: At the end, when Wolverine appears to have woken up in his room, Freddy continues to appear in several places in the background just outside Logan's field of vision.
* PaedoHunt: Unlike the original movies, where Freddy was only said to be a child murderer (and any sexual perversions on his part were merely implied), here Wolverine explicitly calls Freddy a pedophile -- which was specified to be true in the reboot -- and even draws a comparison between him and Music/RKelly.
* PretenderDiss: Wolverine mocks how Freddy's claws are artificial — unlike Logan, whose claws are part of his anatomy.
-->'''Wolverine:''' Nice glove, bub, but I'm real from bones to teeth.\\
That claw's like a strap on: there's a pussy underneath.
* RandomSmokingScene: Wolverine's briefly shown puffing on a cigarillo a split second before his verse.
* {{Sadist}}: True to form, he takes great pleasure in psychologically torturing Wolverine.
* SelfMutilationDemonstration: Just like in the first movie, Freddy cuts off two of his own fingers and grows them back to show the futility of hurting him.
* SerialKiller: Freddy's murdered countless innocent people over the course of his series, and is now aiming to add Wolverine to the list.
* SinisterScrapingSound: In his title screen, we see Freddy dragging his claw across the bottom of the screen, creating sparks and an eerie scraping noise.
* SinisterSilhouettes: Freddy briefly appears as a shadow in the window behind Wolverine in his bedroom.
* SlainInTheirSleep: When Freddy kills people in their dreams, they die in the real world, too.
-->'''Freddy:''' Better stay awake like a meth head.\\
Spread red on your bedspread till you're lying there in your deathbed.
* TakeThat:
** Freddy to Wolverine: "I was more intimidated by a tiny Canadian the first time I saw Music/JustinBieber!"
** Wolverine to Freddy: "You're a pedophile from the midwest; at least Music/RKelly could sing!"
* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Freddy, as usual, gets in a couple:
-->''Welcome to primetime, bitch!\\
Bitch, I come from Wes Craven's twisted mind!''
* TorchesAndPitchforks: As Wolverine points out, Freddy was burned alive by a vigilante mob of angry parents as revenge for what he did to their children.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Freddy seldom has moments of levity, but it really kicks into effect during his second verse, where he starts messing with Wolverine in incredibly freaky ways, just like in his source material.
* XCalledTheyWantTheirYBack: Freddy uses this line against Wolverine:
-->'''Freddy:''' Music/AFlockOfSeagulls called; they want their hairstyle returned\\
And that wasn't even my main diss; it was just a sideburn.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Wolverine points out that Freddy only has power in the dream world, and can't hurt people when they're awake.
-->'''Wolverine:''' Don't sleep? That's all you got for me? I could defeat your ass with a cup of tea!
* WhatIsThisX: Freddy mocks Wolverine's codename with this line:
-->'''Freddy:''' What the fuck is a wolverine? Some kind of an angry beaver?
* WolverineClaws: Naturally, Wolverine has razor-sharp claws that, unlike Freddy's glove, are actually part of Wolverine's body. In the nightmare, Freddy disempowers Logan by taking away his claws.
* WouldHurtAChild: Freddy's murdered (and apparently molested) countless children, for which Wolverine mocks him as a loser and a coward.
* YouNeedToGetLaid: Freddy remarks that Jean Grey won't be in Wolverine's bed anytime soon.
* YourWorstNightmare: Freddy specializes in exploiting people's fears to make it easier to kill them in their dreams. He demonstrates this against Wolverine by growing to giant size, depriving Logan of his claws, and turning his (Freddy's) arms into giant magnets to make sure Wolverine can't escape.
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: Freddy turns his arms into giant magnets to pull the Adamantium-infused Wolverine closer, presumably so Freddy can go for the kill. Fortunately, Logan wakes up before he gets too close.
