* BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord: When Batman blackmails Sarge Steel with knowledge that many A.R.G.U.S. agents, Steel included, have visited what's clearly implied to be a brothel that caters to the BDSM crowd, Steel says those visits could be considered "therapy".

* TastesLikePurple: At one point Harley keeps farting and Batman says it "smells like discipline". While probably meant as a metaphor (i.e "I have enough discipline not to give into her demands just because she keeps farting") it's still a very odd thing to say.

Shoehorning. Batman does not, in fact, think of Harley Quinn in terms of Character Alignment.


* ChaoticEvil: InUniverse, this is Batman's opinion about Harley, and the reason why he's against her coming with him and Nightwing to stop Ivy and Floronic Man, thinking that she can easily decide to side with the other villains at the last moment. In the end, Harley proves to be more of a ChaoticNeutral with some tendency to ChaoticGood.

All this is either as a foreshadowing of where Harley might end up soon, or to explain away why she's never depicted working for Waller in the [=DCAU=] like in other continuities.

* FanServiceWithASmile: Gotham has a restaurant called "Superbabes" in which the wait staff all wear skimpy versions of famous superheroines and villainesses of the DC Universe (including Catwoman, Supergirl, Batgirl, Power Girl, Starfire, Vixen, Fire, Ice, and even ''Granny Goodness''). Harley works there as a waitress wearing a skimpy version of her own Harley Quinn costume that shows her panties. Indeed, one of male customers tries to cop a feel... bad move.

* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: Given a reason. While Batman did alert the Watchtower to what is going on, most of the best heroes were busy with a space mission in the Rigel System, with others at a christening at Aquaman's place at Atlantis. The only available heroes included Booster Gold, Black Condor, Elongated Man, Triumph and Bloodwynd, none of them being really being the kind of guys Batman and Nightwing want to deal with (No No No, Meh, talking too much, loser, and jerk being Nightwing's response to the suggestions). Batman and Nightwing then hang up, making it Batman Doesn't Want C-List Fodder (or Booster) in Gotham.
