-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JBBlanc [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Pierre Dourlens (FR)[[/labelnote]]

* BerserkButton: In "Monsters," when it gets personal for Batman when he learns about the attacks on Old Gotham (which is where his parents were killed) and barely restrained himself when he learns [[spoiler: Sapphire was behind the attacks and after she dares asks him about Rex that she still loves, Batman nearly loses his temper towards her as though asking about her ex-lover Rex was an insult to him just after she heartlessly admitted to organizing an attack on the murder site of Bruce's own loved ones.]]

* TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler: Katana notes that ever since Alfred's departure, he's been taking bigger and bigger risks and has been more brooding than before.]]
** [[spoiler: An example would be at the end of "Monsters," when Batman shows NoSympathy towards Sapphire, who expresses her love and concern for Rex after condescendingly admitting to be behind the Old Gotham attacks. Although it may have something to do with not wanting to show vulnerability towards criminals, possibly after his experience trying to show sympathy towards Magpie that drops his guard and nearly get him (and later Katana) killed. However, Old Gotham was also the site of Bruce's parents' murders, so Batman [[BerserkButton on a personal level doesn't take too lightly on the one responsible for trying to desecrate that area vital to him]].]]

* MoralityChain: To Bruce AND Batman. [[spoiler: More evident once he departs after the black out]]

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler: His attempts to amend things with Slade Wilson after the blackout lead to the former's career as an assassin ruined and being left for dead, giving him both new motivation to get his revenge on Alfred and revealing his new status and current location in Gotham City.]]

* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: After the events of "Reckoning", Alfred leaves Wayne Manor to amend the things he done in the past, but he promises if he's needed he'll be there.]]
** TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: He returns at the end of "Animal".]]

* KatanasAreJustBetter: She's called Katana. She also uses katanas [[spoiler: after the League of Assassins reclaim the Soultaker Sword.]]

* NonIndicativeName: Her name's Katana, but the Soultaker Sword is straight and double-edged. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] as her codename was given to her before she stole the the sword. [[spoiler: After she loses the Soultaker Sword, she uses katanas instead and thus her name is no longer non indicative.]]

* WhatTheHellHero: She gives this to Batman after revealing that [[spoiler: he's been using her to turn the League of Assassins against each other. She calls him out for getting Bruce Wayne killed, Dr. Ravencroft's soul removed from her body, and Lady Shiva obtaining the Soultaker Sword]].
** She calls him out again in Nexus when his plan to clear himself from the assassination attempt on Mayor Grange involves [[spoiler:kidnapping Harvey Dent and drawing out Anarky, as he wouldn't expect such an unexpected move from him. This barely works, as they nearly get killed by Anarky's explosives, nearly pits Gordon and Batman against each other, and fuels Dent's hatred of Batman.]]
** And yet again in Monsters when [[spoiler: Batman seemingly kills Metamorpho while attempting to prevent his escape.]]

%%* DominoMask: [[spoiler: Wears one in "Alone".]]

* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler: He is summoned in "Alone" to assist in the final battle against Deathstroke.]]

* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler: He is summoned in "Alone" to assist in the final battle against Deathstroke.]]

* TheMole: [[spoiler: Debatable on how much of one he is, but he's helping Lady Shiva by completing the Ion Cortex.]]

* CarnivalOfKillers: [[spoiler: Arranges one in "Reckoning" with Batman's previously beaten, jailed enemies.]]

* DraggedOffToHell: [[spoiler: In spirit, if not necessarily literally. Batman defeats him by freeing the trapped souls of his enemies from the Soultaker. The vengeful spirits proceed to drag down a deep elevator shaft.]]

* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler: Batman thwarting his plans prompts him to compliment Bats and say that he always wondered what it was like to lose.]]

* ColdBloodedTorture: [[spoiler: What she promises to put Silver Monkey through.]]

-->'''Lady Shiva''': While you may possess the unique skillset necessary to lead the League of Assassins, your [[spoiler: bid to displace me]] was always doomed because of two simple, unavoidable truths: Nothing happens in the league without me knowing it, and... you are not me.
* SoftSpokenSadist: Her voice is remarkably mellow even as she [[spoiler: sucks out Ravencroft's soul and promises to torture Silver Monkey for his betrayal.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: It's never made clear what happened to her after the episode Reckoning]]

--> '''Alfred:''' The ones that can dodge bullets are always the most troublesome.

* HonorBeforeReason: [[spoiler: After Batman helps him escape, he returns to save Batman from Lady Shiva at the cost of his life.]]
--> '''Silver Monkey''': Freedom is nothing without honor.
* KilledOffScreen: [[spoiler: We last see him battle Lady Shiva and losing. We later see Shiva holding his mask as a way to threaten Alfred and Katana.]]

* TheCorrupter: To Harvey Dent. While Dent was never a nice guy to begin with, he at least didn't use illegal methods to bring down Batman. Anarky quickly changed all of that and even egged on his behavior as [[spoiler: Two-Face]].
* DealWithTheDevil: Offers one to [[spoiler: Harvey Dent]] in "Monsters". He accepts.

-->'''Batman''': You hired Deathstroke and he turned on you.\\
'''Anarky''': ''[chuckles]'' [[HypocriticalHumor Psychopaths, just can't trust 'em.]] [[LampshadeHanging You think I'd know that by now]], but I'm a sucker for crazy!

* IGaveMyWord: In "Sacrifice", he made a deal with Lady Shiva where he would Ra's al Ghul's body in exchange for her taking part in his plan to cause a viral outbreak. He pretty clearly expected her to die in the outbreak, but despite her surviving and the outbreak failing, [[spoiler: he still kept his word in the end.]]

** In "Sacrifice", he [[CurbStompBattle curb stomps]] 3 assasins to steal [[spoiler: Ra's Al Ghul's corpse]] and manages to manipulate both Batman and Lady Shiva into nearly starting a plague across Gotham.
** In "Nexus", he seems to give Batman a harder time in battle and is able to fight both him ''and'' Katana to a standstill. That's not even mentioning his plan [[spoiler: kidnap Harvey Dent and use him to blow up one of the parks in Gotham.]]

* EarlyBirdCameo: In the comic preview as a weapons supplier to [[spoiler: Anarky]].

* ColorCodedSecretIdentity: He wears an orange shirt and a black coat as [[spoiler: Dane Lisslow]].

** Also of Bane from the original ''ComicBook/{{Knightfall}}'' story arc. They're both powerful fighters and brilliant tacticians presented as [[EvilCounterpart evil equals]] of Batman, [[spoiler: and they both outwit Batman and infiltrate his Batcave.]]
* EyeScream: [[spoiler: During the battle in the Batcave, Deathstroke accidentally shoots a C4 pack which leaves him with an injury that pretty much has his right eye blown off and room for his iconic eyepatch to show up.]]

* RevengeByProxy: He orchestrates an elaborate plan to destroy Batmans reputation and kill him by way of "killing" Bruce Wayne, but his actual target is [[spoiler: Alfred, who got him fired from the CIA for being too violent, then accidentally got a bounty put on his head by asking the wrong people too many questions about him. From his point of view, Alfred ruined his life twice over, so he's going to do the same back to him by killing his other "son" Bruce.]]

* SignificantAnagram: [[spoiler: Dane Lisslow]] is an anagram of Slade Wilson, as Batman later realizes.

* AxCrazy: Expect this from a psychopath with a dissociative identity disorder. Even moreso in "Attraction," when she attempts to [[spoiler: kill Katana by burying her alive in a grave]].

--> '''Magpie:''' What is it that scares the Batman? Are you afraid that if you embrace the dark and only the dark you might begin to like it? That you might become free? Is that what you want to understand? What it felt like when they [[spoiler: buried Margaret Sorrow?]] That moment when I stepped completely into one side of myself? Well, I'll give you a little hint: It was a rush! You should try it sometime.
* DatingCatwoman: [[spoiler: She wants this with Batman, but it's a NoSell on his part.]]
* EvilWearsBlack: It's all she wears [[spoiler: aside from her wig]].

* FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome: Quite tragically - [[spoiler: criminal Margaret Sorrow volunteered to have her mind altered so that she could become a better person... and it worked for a time. However, her personality not only started to revert over time, it did so in a fractured, disjointed way - only the very worst parts of her personality returned, unable to recall wanting to change. Ironically, this turned Magpie into something even worse than before.]]

* IdentityAmnesia: Invoked [[spoiler: by Margaret Sorrow and the doctors who experimented on her]] and thus played very straight as "Cassie" - though a bit less cut and dry as Magpie, [[spoiler: who is a twisted remnant of her old self.]]

* MeaningfulName: Her last name is [[spoiler: Sorrow, which is a reference to an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_for_Sorrow_%28nursery_rhyme%29 old nursery rhyme]] about magpies.]]

* NeverMyFault: Zig-zagged; [[spoiler: She blames the doctors who put her through the procedure that got rid of her memories, when in fact she volunteered for the procedure herself. The process made her forget that she had, and lead to the unintentional side-effects making her crazy.]]

* RedHerring: [[spoiler: At first, it seems like Professor Ravencroft might be Magpie. In reality however, it's really Cassie, the Professor's secretary.]]

* SplitPersonality: In this case portrayed ''accurately''. [[spoiler: And by the episode "Attraction", [[SplitPersonalityTakeover the Magpie persona has taken over completely]].]]

--> '''Katana:''' I mean, really? Neck feathers with a boussie? Kinda trashy, don't you think?

* ThatManIsDead: [[spoiler: "Margaret Sorrow is gone. There is only Magpie now."]]
* TragicVillain: [[spoiler: A kleptomaniac who genuinely wanted to reform and underwent memory alteration to do so only to become something even worse than before.]]

!!Daedalus Boxh and Junkyard Dog

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ArifSKinchen (Daedalus) and Creator/CarlosAlazraqui (Junkyard Dog)

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Daedalus Boch in the comics was a demon-worshiping murderer who used the blood of his victims in his paint. Here, he just seems to be a petty vandal. [[spoiler: He also doesn't kill Junkyard Dog to unleash demons like he did in the comics.]]

* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears twice and doesn't take too much screentime. However, his second appearance reveals [[spoiler: that he was hired by Deathstroke to create the fake identity of Dane Lisslow, which allowed Slade to proceed with his elaborate revenge plan that drives the plot of the second story arc.]]

* BigBadEnsemble: With Anarky and [[spoiler: Deathstroke]] for the second half of the series. His methods of bringing down Batman make him just as much a threat to the caped crusader as the villains.

* ItsAllAboutMe: In particular, during [[spoiler: Bruce Wayne's "funeral"]] in "Epitaph", where he spins the event around him and is worried over being targeted by the fake Batman, instead of the other people also being attacked.

* NeverMyFault: Dent never holds himself responsible for his political career tanking due to his obsessive witch hunt of Batman [[spoiler: and he becomes too consumed with revenge as Two-Face to remember that his own recklessness got him caught in the explosion in the first place.]]

** In "Doppleganger", he confesses [[spoiler: he hunts down Batman to sell his image as having no tolerance towards costumed freaks. He doesn't care what happens to him or any vigilante if he becomes the new mayor.]]

* SignificantDoubleCasting: [[spoiler: The reason he and Deathstroke share a voice actor is because he ''is'' Deathstroke.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler: While he's initially presented as Harvey Dent's right-hand man, this is revealed to be a forged identity. His name is a SignificantAnagram for Slade Wilson... AKA '''Deathstroke'''.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: See YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo.]]

* RedHerring: [[spoiler: It was believed that she was Magpie due to all the objects that Magpie stole appearing in her desk, but Magpie was really her secretary, Cassie.]]

* YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo: [[spoiler: When Silver Monkey "kills" Bruce Wayne:]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Ravencroft''': This wasn't the plan. You said Wayne wouldn't have to die.]]\\
[[spoiler:'''Silver Monkey''': If you miss him, then you may join him.]]

* PsychopathicManchild: A more benign example, as he's quick to anger and attack, but when Gordon calms him down (with candy), he's easy to deal with and very childish in his mannerisms. [[spoiler: However, it also makes him easy to manipulate, particularly by Magpie.]]

* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: In "Monsters," based on the tone of Batman's response and the response itself after Sapphire expresses how she still loves Rex even after just smugly admitting to be behind the plot to tear down Old Gotham, Batman possibly now view her as this and only lied that Rex is dead and repeated his threat to her to have her arrested to not buy into her act as he saw it as and that he's not going to be fooled by any more of criminals' sympathies that would lower his guard]].
* BrokenPedestal: In "Toxic", Batman views and treats her as Rex's lover who expresses her concerns for him, however, [[spoiler: in "Monsters", any sympathy and pity Batman had for her is diminished as he now views her with disdain as just another CorruptCorporateExecutive upon discovering her criminal plan. Even when Sapphire express how she still loves Rex and express concern for him, Batman shows NoSympathy and instead lies to her about Rex being dead and concludes his talk with her by threatening to have her arrested like her father if she continues with her corrupt schemes.]]
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: [[spoiler: Has taken over this role following her father's arrest.]]
* CruelMercy: [[spoiler: In "Monsters," Batman lets her off the hook for masterminding the attack on Old Gotham, but sternly lied to her that Rex is dead and vindictively repeats his threat to have her arrested for her to repent for what she's done.]]

** DaddysLittleVillain: [[spoiler: In "Monsters".]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Batman''': Like father, like daughter.]]

* DerailingLoveInterests: For Rex Mason, by first in "Toxic," she tell Rex that she could not love him past his transformation into Metamorpho, then in "Monsters," the ShipSinking continues as the Rex/Sapphire ship takes another hit when it's revealed [[spoiler: she was the culprit who had been organizing attacks against Old Gotham and Batman, who acts as the ShippingTorpedo upon being disgusted at the revelation, lies to Sapphire that Rex is dead as in reality, Batman thinks [[ThatWomanIsDead the Sapphire Rex knew and loved is the one who died in between her last and latest appearances]]]].

* FaceHeelTurn: Her personality revised from a concerned lover of Rex Mason in "Toxic" to that of [[spoiler: a SmugSnake CorruptCorporateExecutive terrorizing defenseless citizens to buy the land for profit in "Monsters".]]

* KarmaHoudini: Gets away with [[spoiler: basically organizing terrorist acts in "Monsters", with Batman simply letting her off with a warning.]]

* RichBitch: [[spoiler: Her SmugSnake attitude and despicable actions against Old Gotham in "Monsters" would qualify her to be this.]]

* StartOfDarkness: [[spoiler: In "Monsters".]]
* SuddenSequelHeelSyndrome: [[spoiler: In "Monsters," without any explanation, she is downright villainous in contrast to her debut appearance in the show.]]
* TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler: In "Monsters", when she starts becoming like her father.]]
* UnknownRival: [[spoiler: For Metamorpho as of "Monsters".]]
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: [[spoiler: It seems, as she still runs Stagg Industries after undergoing KarmaHoudini at the end of "Monsters."]]

-->Voiced by: Creator/FinolaHughes

-->Voiced by: Creator/JamesRemar

-->Voiced by: N/A

* ControlFreak: Subtley implied to be this. Cypher works best when he's in complete control of a situation, but when something happens that takes away that control, he panics and is forced to improvise, something he's not good at doing. Lampshaded by Batman.
-->'''Batman''': How does it feel to have someone else in control?

* {{Cyborg}}: By his own admission.
-->'''Cypher''': A machine? No, I'm a man just like you, only upgraded. You should try it. It's a rush.

* RoboticPsychopath: As Batman puts it.
-->'''Batman''': They've never sent a psychotic machine before.

-->Voiced by: Creator/WallaceLangham

* AxCrazy: If this exchange is anything to go by.
-->'''Lady Shiva''': You would strike a bargain with the League of Assassins? Are you mad?
-->'''Anarky''': Without question!

-->'''Two-Face''': [[spoiler:[[SplitPersonality Two's a partnership. Three's a liability.]]]]

-->Voiced by: Creator/RobinAtkinDownes

Harvey's second-in-command in the Special Crimes Unit. He and Wayne become fast friends through their appreciation of martial arts. [[spoiler: For more info, see Deathstroke]].

-->Voiced by: Creator/JeffBennett

-->Voiced by: Creator/CreeSummer

* BitchInSheepsClothing:[[spoiler: Or, rather, a sheep in bitch's clothing with sheep's clothing over that. She's not a good person, but she definitely shows remorse over her actions.]]

-->Voiced by: Creator/GaryAnthonyWilliams

-->Voiced by: Creator/JBBlanc

-->Voiced by: Creator/EmmanuelleChriqui

* AdaptationalVillainy: The total opposite of her father in terms of personality and morals in the comics, [[spoiler: Sapphire here is very much following in Simon's corrupt footsteps and is an unrepentant {{Jerkass}} too unlike the [[NiceGirl usual Sapphire]].]]
* BeyondRedemption: [[spoiler: After the revelation in "Monsters," Batman completely stops viewing her as a InnocentBystander she seemed to be in "Toxic" and treats her no different from all the other criminals (especially after pressing his BerserkButton by trying to desecrate where the Waynes were murdered) and [[ShippingTorpedo absolutely unworthy of having Rex Mason back in her life]].]]

-->Voiced by Creator/CCHPounder

* {{Expy}}: Of Amanda Waller. They even share voice actors. Her character model is nearly identical to the one used in ''Justice League''.
* HeroicBSOD: The events of "Games" are a bit much for her, so she takes a leave of absence. [[spoiler: This eventually led her to resign from being mayor in "Hero".]]

** Subverted in "Games", where she is the one that panics the most in Humpty's "game", [[spoiler: to the point of ditching Batman, Katana, and Gordon to their deaths, then ultimately resigning in "Hero".]]

[[/folder]]

* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: In "Broken," he sobs that all he wants to do is "play with his numbers and his toys"--what he did before he got swept up in Gordon and Whale's mob war. Unfortuantely, Humpty also knows that both he and the situation are too far gone for that, and [[MadnessMantra repeats]] "I can't go back! I CAN'T GO BACK!" as he runs from Batman.

* WorthyOpponent: He calls Batman "The most fun he's had in years." In fact, in his second appearance, while he gives everyone else cards to help them solve the clues in his game, he gives Batman a blank card because he knows Batman will solve the mystery without help.

* AdaptationOriginConnection: He's heavily involved in both Alfred and Katana's origins. Causing the death of Edogawa Yamashiro has Alfred rretiring to become a butler to the Waynes and puts Katana towards her path to finding the Soultaker Sword.

* DeadpanSnarker: Almost enough of one to match Alfred. His quips while fighting villains are almost reminiscent of a much drier and more serious Franchise/SpiderMan.

** He's also very similar to Comicbook/{{Nemesis}}, thanks to his white suit and use of gadgets. Both were basically created to be the anti-Batman.

* TheHero: A play on the trope. We, the audience, see Batman/Bruce Wayne as the hero of this story but Bruce himself considers Gordon, the honest and ByTheBookCop to be the hero while he himself is VigilanteMan.
-->''These are the roles we play.''

* [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Arrogant Kung Fu Girl]]: Slightly. Though courteous in general, she clearly thinks less of people who don't measure up to her standards of toughness, referring to Bruce Wayne as a "marshmallow" and regarding the seemingly cushy lifestyle of Wayne Manor with obvious, if ''very'' polite, disdain.

* [[BroughtToYouByTheLetterS Brought To You By The Letter "A"]]: As seen in the above image.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Considering that he's the reason for Humpty Dumpty's StartOfDarkness and subsequent descent into villainy, he pretty much deserves Humpty's wrath.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: You can't really feel sorry for some of his victims like Tobias and Icepick Joe.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Pyg and Toad try to kill him over something fairly mundane (for a businessman like him), rather than all the other malicious stuff he does.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was orphaned at a young age and was in the military and CIA, which weren't exactly cakewalks, but the capper was that she worked undercover for the League Of Assassins.
** Even worse still, she faked her own death and went into hiding in order to keep the Soultaker Sword from falling into the wrong hands.

* KatanasAreJustBetter[=/=]TheyCallHimSword: She's called Katana. She also uses katanas [[spoiler: after the League of Assassins reclaim the Soultaker Sword.]]

** NotSoStoic: [[spoiler:When Batman reveals his identity to her and Alfred revealing that he's working with him.]]

* ExpressiveMask[=/=]LatexPerfection: Wears a mask under his hood.
* {{Expy}}: The parallels between him and ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'''s [[ComicBook/TheJoker Joker]] are too obvious to ignore.

-->'''Anarky''': "Do you have any ''idea'' what an ''honor'' it is to be my opponent? ''It's a really big deal!''"

* ActuallyADoombot[=/=]RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Uses one to distract Batman and retreat.

* DroppedABridgeOnHer[=/=]WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:She’s set up as a major character, only for Lady Shiva to use the Soultaker Sword on her in her third appearance.]]
* EmptyShell[=/=]FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Lady Shiva insists that she isn't dead, but she might as well be. And there's no indication her soul returned to her body when Batman released all the Soultaker Sword's victims.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards:[[spoiler: See YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo.]]

-->[[spoiler:'''Ravencroft''': This wasn't the plan. You said Wayne wouldn't have to die.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Silver Monkey''': If you miss him, then you may join him.]]

-->'''Batman''': You hired Deathstroke and he turned on you.
-->'''Anarky''': ''(chuckles)'' [[HypocriticalHumor Psychopaths, just can't trust 'em.]] [[LampshadeHanging You think I'd know that by now]], but I'm a sucker for crazy!

* KnightOfCerebus: Even when Batman doesn't find him to be a WorthyOpponent, he still knows Anarky is still one of his most dangerous enemies to date, who without much resources, nearly wiped out all of Gotham using a lethal plague that would zombify the entire population, his frame-up for Batman started the first of many of Batman's risky decisions, and slowly corrupted Harvey Dent to become the villainous Two-Face and had hired Deathstroke to terrorize Gotham to destroy Batman, and in the tie-in comics, nearly plunged Gotham into chaos. Even with guys like Ra's al Ghul and Deathstroke, Anarky is easily the series' vilest villain

* OverprotectiveDad: He's so against his daughter dating Rex Mason that he's willing to use him as a guinea pig for his project.

* GoldTooth: He has golden teeth.

%%* BaritoneOfStrength: Almost to Creator/SteveBlum and Creator/KevinConroy levels. %%how is the character strong%%

* BaritoneOfStrength: Almost to Creator/SteveBlum and Creator/KevinConroy levels.

* BadassBaritone: As per usual for James Remar.

* SoftSpokenSadist: In contrast to [[BadassBaritone Batman]], his voice is remarkably mellow.
