* KidSidekick: [[spoiler:Deconstructed, eventually.]]

* OlderThanTheyLook: She would be in her mid-to-late twenties in ''The New Batman Adventures'', but still looks and sounds like a teenager. Penguin once commented that she's not old enough to enter the Iceberg Lounge and she didn't bother to correct him, though it's possible that Penguin was just mocking her. Even in the flashback of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker'', she is not drawn to look any older even though she'd be in her thirties by that point. She is finally aged up for ''Batman Beyond'' itself, however.

!![[Franchise/{{Batman}} Batman I]] (Bruce Wayne)

* OriginsEpisode: "Robin's Reckoning" for Robin and "Old Wounds"/''[[Comicbook/TheBatmanAdventures The Lost Years]]'' for Nightwing.

* ActionHeroine: She initially appears only as Commissioner Gordon's daughter, [[CharacterDevelopment but she transforms into]] Comicbook/{{Batgirl}} over the series and becomes an official member of the Bat Family.

* BatmanGrabsAGun: [[{{Deconstruction}} Deconstructed]]. Barbara Gordon respects the Bat Family's avoidance of firearms. However, she is a cop in her day job and is willing to tote a gun when she and Batman infiltrate the base of the Sensei in ''[[Comicbook/TheBatmanAdventures Gotham Adventures #9]]'', which Batman isn't happy about and asks her to get rid of it, feeling that she does not need it and that using it will be a mistake. It turns out that Batman was right; when Batgirl tries to use it to threaten Sensei, he saw that she was unwilling to use it to seriously hurt him if there was a chance to kill him. After calling out Batgirl for bring a weapon she was unwilling to use, he disarms her and throws the gun away.

This Tim Drake is a combination of both the [[Comicbook/{{Robin}} comic version]] and Jason Todd, the Robin before him. The son of a two-bit crook who betrayed and was murdered by Two-Face, Robin falls into Batman's world while fleeing Two-Face's thugs who are chasing him over something left by his father. Like Grayson, Tim finds out Batman's identity, steals the Robin costume, and ultimately helps bring Two-Face down.

* BadassNormal: Like the rest of the Bat-family, he has no superpowers and has martial arts.

* TimeShiftedActor: Barbara by the time of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' is voiced by two new, older sounding actresses as a result of being an older woman.

* TruerToTheText: She is ''much'' more faithful and nearly identical to her comic book counterpart than the live action version.

* TeensAreShort: He's 13-years-old, but is at least a foot and a half shorter than Batman. Even in his late teens, he was still pretty short. He finally shot up in his adult years, so it's likely that he was a late bloomer.
