* MentalShutdown: Jackson Chappell, Bane's caretaker and Venom dealer, ends up in this state after a combination of Venom overdose and a chemical explosion.

* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Bruce describes Bane as having been a formidable opponent, but when Terry finds him, Bane is a shadow of his former self; years of abusing Venom has ruined his body, and he's now so dependent on it that he needs a 24/7 supply just to stay alive and needed to give Chappell the formula because he couldn't even make the Venom himself anymore.



* LegacyCharacter: Chappell's business model is different, but he's essentially Bane II. It's most obvious in the climax when he wears something very similar to Bane's original outfit and doses himself with slappers to give himself SuperStrength.

It's most obvious in the climax when he wears something very similar to Bane's original outfit and doses himself with slappers to give himself SuperStrength. Like Bane himself in his [[Recap/TheAdventuresOfBatmanAndRobinE10Bane debut episode]], Chappell is defeated by a painful overdose of Venom, though unlike him, Chappell doesn't walk away from the experience with his faculties intact.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's not mentioned what will become of Bane after Chappell is left a vegetable, given the strong implication that Chappell is the only one who can make the Venom Bane needs to survive.
* WorthyOpponent: Bruce makes sure to warn Terry that Bane was a formidable opponent in his day, though it comes across as more of an awareness of Bane's now-former might than genuine respect.

* FantasticDrug: The episode did a story about steroid use in athletics without using the word "steroids". They were "slappers" and turned out to contain the Venom used by Bane. The effects of Venom are much more disturbing than those of steroids.

They were "slappers" and turned out to "steroids"; the drugs the teens use are "slappers", dermal patches that contain the Venom used by Bane. The effects small amounts of Venom (which has been previously noted to be "steroidal compound" much more effective than real-life steroids), Bane's drug of choice. The slappers are much more disturbing convenient to use and less powerful than those the pure Venom Bane used to use (the most obvious side-effect being a bad temper), but they're also being ''dealt'' like a drug, instead of steroids.used by one person for a power-up.


Added DiffLines:

* RemovedAchillesHeel: Using slappers to dose oneself with Venom removes the need for Venom tubes like Bane's, as Chapell demonstrates during the climactic fight.
