* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: In the comic, Lieutenant Branden is still an antagonist but is a fascistic RabidCop who is used by the corrupt cops rather than directly aiding them. In the film, he's explicitly shown to be corrupt himself, as he conspires with Loeb and Falcone to kidnap Gordon's family.

Gordon becoming a RabidCop who beats on crooked cops and cheats on his pregnant wife and Catwoman originally being a dangerous prostitute only affirms the point.

He did kick down a tree...


* AdaptationalWimp: Batman. While the original comic book is fairly realistic, he's still doing things like kicking down trees and brick chimneys. Here he's toned down so he's only doing things athletes in peak condition can do.

!!The animated adaptation contains examples of:
* AdaptationExpansion: The film expands or completely adds a few scenes and makes things the comic left subtle a bit more obvious. The biggest example is a scene demonstrating that the girl Bruce had over during the Gordons' visit was simply TheBeard working for $5000.
* AdaptationNameChange: A minor sort, but Branden's name to modified to Brendon.
* AdaptedOut:
** Branden's second in command, Pratt, is omitted, with Branden/Brendon taking his place as the one Batman punches through a wall.
** The movie also removes mentions of Loeb's resignation and his successor, Grogan.
* CreativeClosingCredits: The first part of the film's credits shows off panels from the newsprint version of the comic.
* DemotedToExtra: In the animated adaptation, Dent is only seen and mentioned once when Gordon investigates him on the belief he is Batman. In the comic he was one of the main three that took down the corrupt network (aside from Batman and Gordon) but he was either not mentioned or his involvement was given to Gordon (such as the reason IA was going after Flass was Dent's doing in the comic but Gordon's in the film and the reason Skeeter was given parole was Dent's doing so Batman could interrogate him). This was most likely due to focus more on Gordon and Batman's beginnings.
* RoleReprisal[=/=]VocalEvolution: Creator/JeffBennett reprises his role from ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' as Alfred, though his performance here sounds quite a bit different from his performance in ''Young Justice''.
* ShoutOut: The film changes some of the toys stolen from Loeb into a [[WesternAnimation/TheHuckleberryHoundShow Huckleberry Hound]] and an [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Elmer Fudd]].
* SkintoneSclerae: All of the character designs sport these, as do the designs in the ''WesternAnimation/DCShowcaseCatwoman'' short attached to it.
