Red Claw kidnaps Alfred and his old colleague, Frederick, for the code to a nuclear missile.

!!Tropes:

* AbortedArc: Red Claw’s brawl with Batman ends with her managing to remove his mask, before he ejects her into a seeming DisneyVillainDeath. Due to the character not appearing again, it’s unknown if she saw his face or not.
* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Alfred tells Bruce he's in London, in which Bruce asks 'London England?' and Alfred replies 'There is only one', though there is a city of London in Ontario, Canada, and at least 8 Londons in the United States, among others. Though, as Alfred is British, this statement can be taken as him either not knowing about them, or simply regarding London, England as [[PretenderDiss the only TRUE London]].
* {{Bookends}}: In airdate order, the first aired episode of ''Batman: The Animated Series'' ("[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE15TheCatAndTheClawPart1 The Cat and the Claw, Part 1]]") featured Red Claw as the villain. This, the last new episode to air before the ArtShift into ''The New Batman Adventures'' also features Red Claw as the villain.
* TheBusCameBack: Red Claw's second appearance after her first appearance 77 episodes ago.
* DayInTheLimelight: One of the few times Alfred ventures out of Wayne Manor and gets to take part in action, to say the least.
%%* EmptyQuiver
* IgnoredConfession: Red Claw demands a password from Alfred. Alfred tells her that she'll get nothing but gibberish out of him. After being drugged with TruthSerum, he starts reciting [[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland "The Lion and the Unicorn"]]. Unlike most cases of this, she does eventually realize that the password ''is'' "The Lion and the Unicorn"... it just takes her a while.
* MathematiciansAnswer: Played with. Alfred and Frederick had been captured and injected with TruthSerum. When the serum starts to take effect, Alfred tells Red Claw that she'll get nothing but gibberish out of him. When Red Claw demands his half of the passcode, Alfred starts reciting the rhyme [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lion_and_the_Unicorn "The Lion and the Unicorn".]] Turns out Alfred's password was exactly what he said.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Alfred's "cousin" Frederick is an obvious example for Creator/DavidNiven, down to the hairstyle, nose, and mustache.
* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: The two-part password to arm a nuclear warhead based in the UK is the address of the missile silo and "the lion and the unicorn", famous symbols of the United Kingdom.
* ProgressivelyPrettier: While Red Claw was already [[AmazonianBeauty quite attractive]] her design's gotten touched up a bit, her facial features now softer and lusher.
* RetiredBadass: It's revealed that Alfred spent time as a British government operative many years ago and, even though his primary duties were behind a desk, he amassed quite a few skills.
* ShirtlessScene: Dick Grayson trains wearing barely anything in the beginning, and this does not go unnoticed by Alfred.
-->'''Alfred:''' I do wish you would put on a shirt, you're out to catch a cold in this dank cave.
* TitleDrop: It's the password.
* TruthSerum: Red Claw injects Alfred and "Cousin Freddie" with a serum.
* TwoKeyedLock: The missile requires two codes. Alfred knows one and Freddie knows the other.
