* 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 after half of her face was mutilated by corrosive makeup. She also carries the same "split clothes" look as Harvey Dent, one half a business suit, the other half [[DressedLikeADominatrix a leather dominatrix outfit]].

Added DiffLines:

* MonsterClown: [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker]] appears in one scene, just as laughably crazy and murderous as ever, and additionally accompanied by a gang of clown-themed thugs (bonus points to the one with [[PieInTheFace cream pies]] with ''spikes'' in them).
-->'''Goon''': Slapstick heaven, boys! Grab a stick and start slappin'!

Added DiffLines:

* HotterAndSexier: Quite a few of the gender-flipped characters are also sexed-up quite a bit. Two-Face, for example, maintains the facial disfigurement of her mainstream counterpart, but her outfit is half of a (rather skimpy) suit and half extremely {{Stripperiffic}} bondage gear. One can't help but wonder how the outfit even stays in place.

Added DiffLines:

* SwappedRoles: Subverted. Selina is given Bruce Wayne's background and character development from an orphaned heir to a business empire into a costumed vigilante crime fighter, but Bruce himself is rather unlike the [[ClassyCatBurglar canon Selina]], instead being an AxCrazy lunatic who murdered Selina's parents and later starts a killing spree to get her attention.

* 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 be a mere 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.
