* AnimalMotifs: The Joker compares him to a slug. He thinks the only reason Sidney "killed" Batman was because the Dark Knight probably slipped on the slime trail he left behind.



* BadassOnPaper: He provided the former page image. The guy who killed Batman ''must'' be impressive, right?

* PragmaticVillainy: As much as he hates Bullock, Vinnie is more concerned with getting his drug operation back in business and rebuilding his fortune than he is with revenge plans that would get him more grief from the police. He's more than happy to try and kill both Bullock and Batman when they crash his drug lab, though.

** A) Got Batman involved, leading the Caped Crusader directly to the smoking gun of Kaiser's financial improprieties.
** B) [[CaptainObvious Got Joker involved]], to the point where he decided he didn't want to destroy the Joker-themed casino that was meant to be a giant middle finger to him -- instead, he liked the place and was willing to kill Kaiser to take it over.

A trio of snobby, elitist frat brothers, the Terrible Trio have turned to heisting to cure their boredom.thrill-seeking criminal who is a former stuntwoman and a dangerously avid adrenaline junkie.


Added DiffLines:

* AffablyEvil: To a certain extent. She's a thief, but is cheerful to those she robs and avoids hurting people when it isn't necessary.
* CanonImmigrant: Twice--she first appeared in ''ComicBook/TheBatmanAdventures'' Annual #1, then in ''The New Batman Adventures'' (along with ''Superman: TAS''), then in the main DCU.
%%* DarkActionGirl
%%* DeadpanSnaker:
* TheDragon: To the Penguin in her debut episode.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Only worked with the Penguin to sate her need for thrills. When her stunts began to risk exposing him, he decides to get rid of her.
* FieryRedhead: Moved to crime mostly for the kicks.
* GogglesDoNothing: In her case, she wears them whenever she rides.
* HeelFaceTurn: In the tie-in comics--decides that being a vigilante has as much thrill as being a criminal.
* InHarmsWay: She's in it at least as much for the thrills as for the loot.
* MsFanservice: She has a nice figure and wears a form-fitting out that provides a cleavage.
* NotMeThisTime: In the tie-in comics. It turns out to be [[spoiler:Catwoman]], trying to frame her.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Tries to pull this on Batman, saying that he'll let her go because he enjoys the thrill of the chase as much as she does. It doesn't work.
* OrgasmicCombat: Especially in the climax of the episode, where she tears off her jacket, throwing it at Batman, and starts squirming on her rocket with him and loudly making outburst of passion.
-->'''Roxy:''' Oh baby, you're the best! The ultimate thrill. The final stunt. Me and you! Yeah, yeah... YEAH!
* RocketRide: Provides the trope image.
* SexIsViolence: When Batman pursues her, she starts laughing more and more and eventually... well, she shows her O-face.
* TakeThatKiss: Before she escapes from Batman during their first encounter, she flies her rocket next to his damaged Batwing and thanks him for a "great first date" before blowing him a goodbye kiss. In a later encounter, when Batman seems to have her cornered on a steel grinder of an unfinished building, she throws a painting she stole over the edge with Batman diving after it, grabbing on to it with one hand and grabbing to a lower part of the building with his other. Roxy smirks down at him as he holds on before mockingly making a kissing sound at him and blowing up her rocket.
* VillainessesWantHeroes:
** She develops a crush on Batman due to him being able to keep up with her in her robberies, and at one point calls the two of them "the perfect couple". She shows to be perfectly accepting, even thrilled, at the idea of her and Batman [[TogetherInDeath dying together]] in a stunt. Unfortunately, she ends up heartbroken when Batman doesn't return her feelings and instead slaps the handcuffs on her even after all they went through together.
** She also finds Superman attractive when he catches her in "Knight Time", complimenting him on his looks and openly saying "I'll be your friend" with clearly flirtatious undertones.
* VillainousCrush:
** A mild one for Batman, in ''ComicBook/TheBatmanAdventures'' Annual #1, post her HeelFaceTurn. In ''TNBA'', she's aggressively flirtatious and believes they are BirdsOfAFeather that love thrills. She's soundly wrong by the end.
** The Penguin also seems slightly entranced by her, based on his suggestive comments about her being chased by "a bird of prey". She doesn't reciprocate the feelings, though.
** At the beginning of "[[Recap/SupermanTheAnimatedSeriesS3E2KnightTime Knight Time]]" she ''wastes very little time'' flirting with Superman, and expresses immediate attraction to his HeroicBuild. Supes is amused for a moment before refusing her advances and immediately taking her back to Gotham.
