* BirdsOfAFeather: Part of the reason Terry and Melanie hit it off almost instantly is that they see themselves as kindred spirits. Both feel pushed around by their elders (Bruce Wayne and King, respectively) and are pressured by having to secretly live double lives.

* BirdsOfAFeather: Part of the reason Terry and Melanie hit it off almost Terry's instantly drawn to Melanie is that they see themselves as kindred spirits. the pressures she relates to him also apply to his own life. Both feel pushed around by their elders (Bruce Wayne and King, respectively) and are pressured by having to secretly live double lives.have their personal lives massively disrupted because of it.

* RememberTheNewGuy: The Royal Flush Gang is said to be a VillainousLegacy that tangled with Batman in the past, yet they never appeared before in a ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode. And when an actual Royal Flush Gang showed up in the chronologically-earlier ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', they have little to no connection to this one either.

* LamePunReaction: Bruce explains to Terry how the Royal Flush Gang are old-school gimmick villains, only committing robberies for items related to playing card suits (such as diamonds). Why they’re heist on a yacht for miscellaneous non-diamond jewelry, then? "It was part of a yacht ''club''." They're both disgusted by the pun.

* GenreBlindness: Batman tracked the Royal Flush Gang to their base. How does King reacts? By ordering the gang to "spread out", which is the '''one''' thing you don't want to do when your opponent is a StealthExpert. Batman did manage to take out two out of five of them before getting spotted.

* ItsPersonal: King has an extreme personal hatred of Batman since Bruce had sent the previous incarnation of the gang to jail.
