* AdultsDressedAsChildren: This is also essentially her entire schtick. She's a grown woman [[NotAllowedToGrowUp with the body of a young child due to a medical condition]] in a '50s-style saccharine sitcom ([[TwoDecadesBehind although, going by the episode's time frame, it would have been made in the '70s—the ''DCAU'' seems to have a generally different cultural and technical history from ours]]). Whenever she shows up in her childish clothing (including [[FanDisservice visible panties]]) it generally means she's up to no good.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: His first appearance depicted him as a LargeHam with a pseudo-Hispanic accent with a tendency to scream at the top of his lungs. Following “Over The Edge”, he adopts a soft-spoken, FauxAffablyEvil demeanor and drops the accent. ''Mystery of the Batwoman'' has him gain a tendency to use GratuitousSpanish.

* TookALevelInBadass: While Batman could previously take him on in a fight, in ''Mystery of the Batwoman'' his main strategy is to run away from Bane, and Bane beats the ever loving crap out of Batman and leaves him severely injured. And while in his first appearance getting his Venom cut off stopped him cold, here he’s able to break through his restraints and still goes after Batman, only being stopped when he plunges into a pit of fire.

* MotiveDecay: In “Torch Song” his main goal was to get Cassidy for himself, and he caused a lot of collateral damage to try and accomplish it. By “Legends of the Dark Knight”, he’s committing insurance fraud by burning down buildings so the owners can collect insurance. When Batman points this out to him, Firefly shrugs and points out that it's expensive to make his numerous weapons and bombs. By ''Justice League'', he's just a full-on supervillain but him no longer obsessing over Cassidy is arguably justified by then since he's in a StrongGirlSmartGuy dynamic with Volcana and Lynns probably sees her as being a ''huge'' upgrade over Cassidy.

* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: In his introductory episode, Jervis briefly contemplates using his mind control devices on Alice before abandoning the thought in horror, saying that he's unwilling to make her into a mindless doll. By the end of the episode, he's gone JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope and has done exactly that because he [[NotGoodWithRejection won’t accept that Alice isn’t in love with him and wants to marry her boyfriend instead.]]

* TinMan: Despite claiming that he can no longer feel any emotion, his despair at losing his wife — and his cold hatred to those who took her — is demonstrable.

* VillainKiller: A vigilante who systematically murders multiple mob bosses throughout Gotham City. This is because The Phantasm is Andrea Baeumont, whose father was killed by the mafia and has come back to Gotham City to avenge him by killing them all.

* FatalFlaw: Suffers from two. One is his InsufferableGenius and SmugSnake sense of narcissism. Two, like most of his incarnations, is his compulsion to leave a riddle even when he really shouldn’t. This ties into the above flaw because he thinks so highly of his intelligence he thinks no one would notice them.

* AdaptationalSkill: Or rather ''skillfullness''. In the comics, Wesker is a mediocre ventriloquist, leading to Scarface having an SpeechImpediment (he substitutes the “B” for a “G”, an unfortunate fact if you are going to fight ''"Gatman and Rogin"'') that is a common problem with {{Ventriloquism}}. WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries [[ExaggeratedTrope upgrades the Ventriloquist skills to ridiculous levels]]: Scarface not only can perfectly pronounce the letter "B", but ''[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE64ReadMyLips "Read My Lips"]]'' shows the batcomputer analyzing The Ventriloquist and Scarface's voices like ''two different people''. Also, Batman knew the greatest ventriloquist of his time, recognized as the world's best StageMagician, Zatara (Zatanna's father) and believes the Ventriloquist ''could teach him lessons''.

* PetTheDog: Despite telling Catwoman he has no use for animals, he mentions he still has use for Rhino, much to the big guy’s joy and even showed concern for Killer Croc getting hit by Joker's machine gun during Batman’s [[MookHorrorShow fight]] against his rogues gallery.
