In the trailer, Batman seems to say it when asked to talk about his feelings. And in the trailer, after Batman finishes saying no, he asks Alfred if he was recording, before then pulling a board to explain to Alfred "[[FunWithAcronyms ABR]]: Always Be Recording."

* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler:Sending the Joker to the Phantom Zone causes him (and Robin) to get arrested. After receiving a BrokenPedestal speech from Barbara, he tries to justify his actions by saying that he sent him to "the one place where he can't cause anyone any harm." While he ultimately turns out to be wrong, the Joker's first act in the film was to blow up Gotham City (and manages to do so when he inevitably gets out), on top of his other equally villainous acts if the other Batman films being canon to this one are any indication. Barbara ''does'' concede the point but still counters that the Joker could have counted on this ([[BatmanGambit which he was]]).

Though judging by how their relationship is [[FoeRomanceSubtext played]], one could see this as overlapping with DatingCatwoman.



** Deconstructed. While Batman may stop criminals in the short-term, the bigger ones always end up bouncing back thanks to the shoddy security of Arkham Asylum allowing them to basically walk out the front door and resume their villainy. As such, Barbara elects to actually deal with them long-term.
