* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: Believe it or not, but there are, not one, but two real medical conditions named werewolves diseases. But none of them turn the patient into an actual werewolf. The first of them, the Werewolf Syndrome, or Hypertrichosis, is a rare genetic disorder which cause the patient to grow abnormally long hairs in their body, including parts with normally few or no hair, such as the upper half of the face; it is sometimes theorized that Hypertrichosis may have at least partially inspired the werewolf mythos. And the other one, Clinical Lycanthropy, is an even rarer psychiatric syndrome, which is characterized by the delusion of the patient believing they can turn into an animal, sometimes (but not always) into a wolf or a dog, hence the name. However, considering that a drug who could turn a human into an actual werewolf is a major artistic licence in medicine and biology to begin with, the incorrect use of the name "Werewolf Disease" isn't really a problem.

* BrokenAce: The [[AttentionWhore fame]] and [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney money]] made Tony [[CompetitionFreak intolerant of any losses at all]]. His desperation led to him hiring [[MadScientist Dr. Milo]] to make the drug that turned him into a werewolf.

* BrokenAce: The [[AttentionWhore fame]] and [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney money]] made Tony [[CompetitionFreak intolerant of any losses at all]]. His desperation led to him hiring [[MadScientist Dr. Milo]] to make the drug that turned him into a werewolf. And that was ''before'' he started becoming a werewolf. Afterwards, his self-confident and reputable self is but a persona to hide how Dr. Milo has reduced him to a desperate soul.


Added DiffLines:

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Romulus isn't a saint, his arrogance and willingness to cheat at sports will say as much. But after drugging Batman and setting him up to be killed by the werewolf, he soberly commentates to Milo about how the whole ordeal has left him feeling unclean.

* DownerEnding: Not often discussed, but this episode may well have the ''grimmest'' ending in all of BTAS: Romulus never returns to normal (and either apparently dies or abandons his old life to live in the wilderness), while Milo [[KarmaHoudini gets off scot-free]]. Batman himself doesn't do much more than survive a fight against the Werewolf.

Batman himself doesn't do much more than survive a fight against the Werewolf. To add insult to injury, it's implied nobody (aside from Milo) ever learns the truth about Anthony's connection to the werewolf.
* DramaticIrony: The episode ends with the realtor selling Anthony Romulus's mansion to some buyers how Anthony just upped and left town. One of the buyers wonders why anyone would give it all up, his fame, his money, and his home. The audience knows better: he lost it all due to circumstances. In fact, if he had his way, he would've gladly kept his ill-begotten riches.
** Generally, it's strongly implied that nobody ever knows the truth that the [[TheAce strong, confident Anthony Romulus]] and the ruthless, vicious werewolf were connected.

Added DiffLines:

* AssholeVictim: Anthony Romulus may have been turned into a werewolf against his will, but the reason he is in the mess in the first place was because he was willing to take an experimental serum to give him the edge against the other athletes rather than win the games fairly. Anthony even tries to go back on the deal with Milo, telling him it was ''his'' own efforts that won him the games. It's hard to feel too sorry for him when everything he goes through is the result of his own greed and ego.

* TheEndOrIsIt: At the end, after Batman has defeated the werewolf, we see a wolf howling at the moon. Whether it's Romulus in his werewolf form or just a normal wolf is never answered, though Bullock acknowledges that possibility that the werewolf could still be out there.
