* ActionGirl: Catwoman, as always, expect she’s a hero through and through unlike her Anti-Heroic main counterpart.

* AdaptationalVillainy: In a world where Catwoman and Batman have [[SwappedRoles switched places]], with the former becoming a [[AdaptationalHeroism vigilante superhero]] after her wealthy parents were killed, you'd think Batman would just be some handsome GentlemanThief who often flirts with the female protagonist... he's more of a deranged SerialKiller who murders the Joker in his first scene before offing the rest of Catwoman's RoguesGallery to prevent them from stealing his spotlight. He's also revealed to be the one to have killed Selina Kyle's parents ForTheEvulz. The whole DatingCatwoman angle is invoked when Bruce seduces and ''marries'' Selina, then murders her best friend before trying to kill her as well.

* DressedLikeADominatrix: This Catwoman's suit is even more dominatrix-like than her mainstream counterpart's at the time, with belts and chains on top of her latex catsuit.

** Brooks is a mild example for Alfred Pennyworth, who largely serves in the role as Selina's personal confidant and housekeeper, but instead of a stuffy butler, she's a playful and [[FrenchMaid very scantily-dressed]] maid. Unlike Alfred, she doesn't seem to have any longstanding loyalty to Selina's family in the way Alfred was to Bruce Wayne -- she knows that Selina is Catwoman, but she doesn't appear to know ''why''.

* GenderFlip: While most of Catwoman's RoguesGallery is the same as Batman's, this version of Two-Face is a woman named Darcy Dent, a former supermodel-turned-supervillain who went on a murder spree after half of her face was mutilated by corrosive makeup. She also carries the same [[FashionableAsymmetry "split clothes"]] look as Harvey Dent, one half a business suit, the other half [[DressedLikeADominatrix a leather dominatrix outfit]].
