Crazed millionaire Maximillion Zeus takes control of Gotham from a ship hovering above the city.
Tropes for this episode include:
- Actor Allusion: Phil LaMarr, who voiced Static in the DCAU, voices Maxie Zeus here.
- Adaptational Intelligence: Zeus, compared to his comics and Batman: The Animated Series counterparts, suffers no A God Am I delusions and is thus scarily competent throughout the episode.
- Badass in Distress: Batman is briefly held captive by Zeus and his guards. Luckily, Batgirl manages to sabotage Zeus's airship and stall for time until he escapes to confront him.
- Conveniently Empty Building: Sure was lucky nobody was inside City Hall when Zeus vaporized it.
- Cool Plane: Downplayed. Despite it putting up a good fight against the New Olympus, it got taken down. Alfred admits that Batgirl was more useful in helping Batman.
- Earn Your Happy Ending:Batgirl: I'm in the loop.
- Offscreen Villain Dark Matter: How was Maximillian Zeus able to construct his flying airship and launch it without anyone noticing until he announced himself?
- Shock and Awe: Zeus can generate his own lightning blasts with his gauntlets.
- Sore Loser: Zeus's response to losing the mayoral election to Grange is to take the entire city of Gotham hostage and putting it under his military lockdown.
- Spanner in the Works: Batgirl serves as such by taking the piece of machinery that powers Zeus' thunderbolt device.
- Wham Episode: Because of her heroics in taking down Zeus, Batman decides to reward Barbara by officially making her his partner.
