* DeathByOriginStory: His death is what prompts Terry to become Batman. Interestingly, backstory revealed in "Epilogue" [[spoiler:makes him a double subversion. Amanda Waller ordered him and his wife killed to turn Terry into the next Batman, but the assassin got cold feet and pointed out that to commit murder in Batman's name would defile his legacy.]]

* MistakenForCheating: In light of revelations in "Epilogue", it's implied that her marriage fell apart because of incorrect (if not unfounded) accusations of infidelity. [[spoiler:Warren's reproductive DNA was secretly overridden with Bruce Wayne's, making his children biologically Bruce's despite him conceiving them. With this in mind, it's very likely that when Warren saw Mary's children looked nothing like him, he assumed the worst and left her.]]

* HeroicBastard: "Epilogue" reveals that Matt is another biological son of Bruce when Warren [=McGinnis=]'s DNA was overridden with Bruce's. And while Matt may be annoying he's not a bad kid.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Although understandably he is very young, and some of his antics could be seen as a coping mechanism for losing his father at a young age.

* CloneByConversion: Incredibly ''downplayed''. [[spoiler:As revealed in the Justice League episode, ''Epilogue'', Warren unknowingly had his reproductive DNA overwritten to match ''Bruce Wayne''. So while Warren and Bruce are still genetically different people, any child who Warren would sire will be genetically related to Bruce instead.]]



* WeHardlyKnewYe: As he was only around for part of the first episode and a cameo in the season two finale of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited''.

* AmicableExes: Though the ''WesternAnimation/{{J|usticeLeague}}LU'' episode "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS2E13Epilogue Epilogue]]" reveals that [[spoiler:Bruce is the boys' biological father]], opening up the possibility that Warren [[spoiler:suspected Mary of infidelity]] since [[spoiler:Terry and Matt's black hair is genetically improbable, given his brown hair and Mary's red hair]][[note]]To be clear, she did not actually cheat on him, improbable as it might seem.

* {{Hypocrite}}: In "Sneak Peek," Mary initially disapproves of ''The Inside Peek'' and tells Terry that it might be "just entertainment" to him, but he'd think differently if ''he'' was the one being exposed on the show. When Peek discovers Batman's SecretIdentity and intends to expose it on the show, she's suddenly ''very'' eager to watch the show, which Terry calls her out on:
-->'''Terry''': I thought you said it wouldn't be entertaining if you were on the receiving end.\\
