* NiceJobFixingItVillain: The various Arkham inmates break out and capture Batman and Van Dorn, who herself is against the Dark Knight's vigilantism. The villains then place Batman on trial (with Joker as judge, Two-Face as prosecutor, Ventriloquist and Scarface as bailiff, and the rest as both the jury and the witnesses), [[BlatantLies "promising"]] to let them both go if Van Dorn proves Batman was not responsible [[CreateYourOwnVillain for creating them]], as she herself claimed. She's not only able to prove that they were responsible for their own actions -- and in fact [[CreateYourOwnHero they created him]] -- but it gets rid of a major obstacle in Batman's crusade by having a prominent political figure stirring up public opinion against him, or worse yet, having him prosecuted for his activities. If anything, they proved to her exactly why Batman is needed -- though she still admits (and the Dark Knight agrees) that they're both working towards a time where he's not required.

* FairPlayVillain: To a point. The inmates of Arkham, faced with van Dorn's capable defense and arguments, reluctantly admit that, for all that they prefer to blame all their problems on Batman, they messed up their lives all on their own and vote him Not Guilty. Then they try to kill he and van Dorn anyway, not because of the verdict in the farcical parody of a legal process they put together but because, as the court just demonstrated, they're rotten petty people and now they're mad.

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: In this episode, Gotham's new District Attorney, Janet van Dorn, blames Batman for the city's problems; she believes that Batman created each of the city's villains and wants to put him on trial. The inmates of Arkham kidnap her and Batman and put Batman on trial, accusing him of creating them, and Janet is given the task of defending him. Throughout the trial, she disproves that Batman is to blame for their crimes, finding that the villains would either blame Batman for their problems when it was their own fault, or denied or downplayed their crimes. At the end of the trial, after showing a successful defense, in her closing argument Janet realizes that she was wrong about Batman "creating" the criminals - even without him, [[InSpiteOfANail the Rogues would have most likely turned out the same way]]. While Batman may have inspired some of their costumes and dramatic poses, they made their own choice to become criminals. To her own astonishment, the jury finds Batman not guilty, with the Joker congratulating her.

* HeroicBystander: Janet van Dorn is an interesting case--after her angry comments about Batman get her swept up in the episode's plot, she takes on the protagonist role, defending Batman in the villains' KangarooCourt and even winning him a verdict of "not guilty." Later, when Batman is about to be unmasked, it's van Dorn who throws a batarang at the lights overhead, plunging the room into darkness and allowing the Caped Crusader to escape. Keep in mind that van Dorn has no superpowers of her own and is in a room full of extremely dangerous people, but she still does the right thing and works her hardest to protect the Dark Knight because it's the right thing to do. Batman himself thanks van Dorn at the episode's end, and they part on friendly terms.
