* PassThePopcorn: As he witnesses the confrontation between Batman and Jason the Joker is clearly enjoying the situation with a big grin on his face, despite being gagged and his previous beating at Jason's hands. His enjoyment of the situation only grows as Batman admits how he's been thinking about killing him all the time, and even more when Jason tries to inflict a SadisticChoice on Batman, of Batman either shooting the Joker or Jason or letting Red Hood kill the Joker, even saying that things are turning even better than he hoped.

* InjuredSelfDrag: At the start of the film, the Joker kidnaps Jason Todd, beats him to an inch of his life with a crowbar, and abandons him in a remote warehouse. After the villain takes off, the boy tries to stand up and walk but falls down and begins desperately crawling towards the exit. The next scene focuses on the bloody trail Jason left behind as he finally reaches the door. Unfortunately, he is unable to unlock it and, realizing that the Joker had left a time bomb in the building, [[FaceDeathWithDignity calmly accepts he is doomed]].

* DarkerAndEdgier: The crew behind the film have stated that they hold the opinion this could be their darkest work yet, both compared to the Franchise/{{DCAU}} and the previous films in [[WesternAnimation/DCUniverseAnimatedOriginalMovies the line]]. They wouldn't be too far off. It wouldn't be until ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns'' and much of the WesternAnimation/DCAnimatedMovieUniverse that this movie would be surpassed in this department.

** As Robin in the prologue, Jason Todd had the exact same red and black outfit Tim Drake last had as Robin in the comics.

** As Robin in the prologue, Jason Todd had the exact same red and black outfit Tim Drake last had as Robin in the comics. Which goes even further as Tim's post-Infinite Crisis costume was directly based on the costume his animated incarnation had in the "New Batman Adventures" portion of WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries. However, that Tim Drake was pretty much in name only as his origin and personality was more clearly based on Jason Todd. Even going so far as to have his own version of the Death of Jason Todd in WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker

** Jason Todd's Robin costume during the flashback of the Joker killing him looks very similar to the one Tim Drake wore shortly after ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''.

** "Could you just once say 'Get in the car'?" may be a stealth joke on their "[[ToTheBatNoun To the Batmobile]]!" CatchPhrase from the 60's TV series. Or to "Hush", where Batman ''does'' say that & Nightwing's response is "Which one?" as a nod to large number of Batmobiles used in the comic.

Not a subversion, but an upholding of the stated principles.


* HeroismMotiveSpeech: Batman gives one stating why he holds to his ThouShallNotKill principle, even when logic would dictate otherwise. [[spoiler:{{Subverted|Trope}} though, as this does not lead to him abandoning that principle even when the situation is at its most dire. In his own words, "Nothing's changed."]]

* BrickJoke: When Bruce and Dick interrogate Joker about the new Red Hood, the clown mocks his 'successor' and how *his* Red Hood was more flashy maitre d' than motorcycle fetish. Later, during the bridge encounter and upon meeting Red Hood in the flesh, Joker again mockingly makes this comparison.

Word Cruft. Prime's presence is hardly a spoiler.


** As noted above, Gotham's then-police commissioner Michael Akins is replaced with the more traditional James Gordon.
** Likewise, the removal of the ties to ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'' also meant the removal of Deathstroke, Captain Nazi, Hyena, and (technically) [[spoiler: Superboy-Prime]], as well as the destruction of Bludhaven by Chemo. Likewise, the flashback to one of Jason's early nights out as Robin swaps out Captain Boomerang for the Riddler.
