History Characters / BatmanWayneFamilyAdventures

* IWorkAlone: He still claims this to his fellows in the Justice League. It's not remotely true.
* LethalChef: He has a lifetime ban from the kitchen for this reason. "Home Alone" suggests the problem is not so much inability to pick ingredients or lack of cooking skills but rather a tendency to get distracted by his regular work.

* CoolOldGuy: Alfred is elderly and the chief father/grandfather figure to the Bat-Family.

* AlmightyMom: Martha can instantly cow any of the Kents with a stern glare and a frown. Clark, Conner, and Jon all freeze when she confronts them over burning holes in her walls while trying to help Connor use his HeatVision to shave.

* BullyingADragon: One wonders how she expected it to end when she tried to sabotage and upstage one of the richest men in the world. What's more, Duke and Bruce's conversation afterwards implies that it happens regularly.

Damian Wayne is both the youngest and only biological son of Bruce Wayne and his mother is Talia Al-Ghul, daughter of Ra's Al-Ghul. He was brought up by Talia as both a weapon and a prince, giving him an entitled and arrogant personality as a result.

* AnimalLover: He loves animals. When the series starts he already has a cow, a cat, and a dog, and receives a second dog for his ninth birthday.
* AnimalMotifs: Above and beyond the obvious one, there's something rather feline about Damien. He has a certain hauteur associated with cats, and the art seems to play up feline elements, such as how ''miffed'' and scruffy he looks in "Picture Day" after he gets water splashed on him; the ferocity out of proportion to size when Grace Choi has a hold of him in "Live from New York" (anyone who has had to scruff an angry kitten knows ''exactly'' what this is like); and an actual PlayfulCatSmile while enjoying dinner in "Bad Day".

* BestFriend: He's Damian's closest friend and the most non-Wayne family member who is able to handle Damian's volatile personality. When Bruce brings up Jon while discussing Damian's socialization issues at school, Damian mentions that Jon is different and "indestructible".

* MundaneUtility: HeatVision is great for burning off bulletproof hair when you need to shave.

* AbledInTheAdaptation: In the comics, Cassandra had a learning disability that made her illiterate, making it difficult for her to learn a language. She could also rarely speak more than a few words at a time in the comics. Here, Cass is TheQuietOne, but otherwise doesn't seem to have difficulty speaking, and she's been shown to be capable of reading.

* WomenAreWiser: She casually solves the tie problem that had all the male members of the League flummoxed, and she's also the only one who realizes that Bruce is lying about how he broke his leg.

The Family are Gotham City’s frontline defense its various criminals and crooks. [[SliceOfLife In this series though]], they’re also a fun-loving and tight-knit vigilante FamilyOfChoice.

Bruce Wayne is the son of Martha and Thomas Wayne. After the murder of his parents Bruce used his wealth to become a crime fighting vigilante. His family and allies quickly grew in number and Bruce finds himself as the tired yet loving patriarch of the Batfamily.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While Bruce ''always'' had signs that he cared deeply about those in the family he created, there was always doubt as he had often been aloof, militaristic, occasionally unreasonably cold towards how they felt and tested them in ways that only frustrated them rather than helped them. Here, he's much more open in how much his children mean to him, and is openly encouraging to them when he feels they need it. Compare Stephanie and Bruce's teasing but affectionate relationship to their rocky and occasionally unstable relationship in the main comics, and you'll see the biggest change is Bruce's more lax behavior.

* GoodParents: [[ParentsAsPeople Bruce knows he's not perfect]], but it's clear that he is a better father than most. He keeps the fights to a minimum, makes sure that his children know that they're loved, actively makes amends when he messes up, and is overall affectionate and caring with his family.

* ParentalSubstitute: For Bruce, having been his primary caretaker after Thomas and Martha Wayne died. He also gives advice to any of the Bat Kids that need him (like when Jason was still recovering from a panic attack).

Duke is Batman’s newest ward and vigilante protégé. He is the nominal protagonist of the series and many an event is told from his point of view.

Damian Wayne is both the youngest and only biological son of Bruce Wayne and his mother is Talia Al-Ghul, daughter of Ra’s Al-Ghul. He was brought up by Talia as both a weapon and a prince, giving him an entitled and arrogant personality.

Only daughter of assassin David Cain/Orphan and Lady Shiva, Cassandra was trained from birth as an assassin. Eventually, she was adopted by Bruce and became the second Orphan.

Formerly a StreetUrchin, when Batman caught him trying to boost the wheels of the Batmobile, he was so impressed he made him the second Robin. Bruce’s second oldest son, he was [[ComicBook/BatmanADeathInTheFamily eventually murdered]] by ComicBook/TheJoker and was revived by the Lazarus Pit as the gun-toting AntiHero Red Hood.

* HiddenHeartOfGold: Jason likes to play up his "cool lone wolf" persona, but he really cares for his family [[{{Tsundere}} no matter how much he denies it]].

* {{Tsundere}}: He does care about his family, but if he's ever asked, he'll always come up with an excuse for why he's there.

Daughter of Police Commissioner James Gordon, Barbara was Batgirl before [[ComicBook/TheKillingJoke being crippled by the Joker]]. Barbara then became Oracle, helping her family from behind the scenes.

* DaddysGirl: Is extremely close with her father.

Daughter of Cluemaster, Stephanie initially struggled with first distancing herself from her father's legacy and then attempting to live up to the legacy of Robin and Batgirl before reclaiming her first vigilante title, Spoiler.

Dick Grayson was once a member of the Flying Grayson with his parents John and Mary Grayson. When they were killed by mobster Tony Zucco, Bruce Wayne took him under his wing. He became Bruce’s first son, the first Robin and together they founded the Batman Family. Eventually he grew up and left the mantle of Robin behind to become Nightwing.

Kate Kane is the tough-as-nails cousin of Bruce Wayne. Dismissed from the military for coming out during the era of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, she was inspired by her cousin's example to become the vigilante known as Batwoman.

* CoolAunt: She's Bruce's cousin and acts as an older sister/mentor figure to his kid figures.

* FantasyForbiddingFather: "What You Taught Me" reveals that he hasn't been on the best terms with his father, due to him throwing away the business opportunities his education afforded him to become Batwing. It turns out it's more rooted in Lucius [[AngerBornOfWorry being afraid of his son going the way of Batman's other sidekicks and dying in the field]], and they come to an understanding by the end.
* HonoraryUncle: Much like a lot of the adults in the Bat family, Luke is willing to offer advice or a shoulder to cry on to any of the kids that need him (he's shown doing this the most with Duke).

A woman who can't stand bullies, having been her brother's sole protector growing up, and now wants to support Batman by helping in any way she can.

* WeNamedTheMonkeyJack: Damian named him after the Wayne's loyal butler.

Jim Gordon is the Commissioner of the Gotham City Police Department. He is an ally to the Bat Family and the father of Barbara Gordon.

A tough-as-nails veteran of the GCPD.

The Last Son of Krypton and perhaps the world's greatest superhero. Clark Kent, better known as Superman, is the most recognizable member of the Justice League and a close friend of Batman and the Waynes.

The Princess of Themyscira and the Champion of the Amazons. Wonder Woman is one of the founding members of the Justice League and one of its most prominent female members.

* BestFriend: He's Damian's closest friend and the non-Wayne family member most able to handle Damian's volatile personality. When Bruce brings up Jon while discussing Damian's socialization issues at school, Damian mentions that Jon is different and "indestructible".

The Joker’s former sidekick and girlfriend, now dishing out laughs and pain on the side of Justice. Maybe?

* BestFriend: Considers herself this to Batman. Bruce's feelings on the matter are unclear, especially since Superman also claims the title. Batman's daughters clearly like her, though.

Formerly a StreetUrchin, when Batman caught him trying to boost the wheels of the Batmobile, he was so impressed he made him the second Robin. Bruce’s second oldest son, he was [[ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily eventually murdered]] by ComicBook/TheJoker and was revived by the Lazarus Pit as the gun-toting AntiHero Red Hood.

* GallowsHumor: A RunningGag is him bringing up his [[ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily death]] and then resurrection. It doesn't fully work; "Strong Enough" reveals he still has trauma over it, and a throwaway gag in "Unaccompanied" implies he's still resentful Bruce didn't make an exception to his ThouShaltNotKill rule after Joker killed him.

** Despite him generally being nonchalant about his [[ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily death]], up to the point where he's constantly cracking [[BlackComedy jokes]] about it, "Strong Enough" shows that he's got PTSD over it. Pretty much [[JustifiedTrope justified]], considering [[BludgeonedToDeath how]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown his]] [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath death]] happened. It's up to the point where Jason [[HeWhoMustNotBeNamed finds saying "The Joker" just as painful as his death was]]. [[TruthInTelevision This isn't incorrect, as several trauma victims make fun of their situation as a coping mechanism]].

* TraumaButton: Hearing the sound of Stephanie Brown innocently scraping a pipe is enough to cause him to freeze in place, horrified, as he vividly remembers [[ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily the sound of a crowbar scraping across the ground]]...

Batman's arch-nemesis. A clown-themed supervillain who is well known for his acts of cruelty against the Bat-Family, most infamously [[ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily the murder of Jason Todd]].

* AnimalMotifs: Above and beyond the obvious one, there's something rather feline about Damien. He has a certain hauteur associated with cats, and the art seems to play up feline elements, such as how ''miffed'' and scruffy he looks in "Picture Day" after he gets water splashed on him; the ferocity out of proportion to size when Grace Choi has a hold of him in "Live from New York" (anyone who has had to scruff an angry kitten knows ''exactly'' what this is like); and an actual CatSmile while enjoying dinner in "Bad Day".

* DaddysGirl: Compared to his other relationships with his daughters, Bruce and Cass have the closest one in the family as Cass adores Bruce.
