!!This FanFic provides examples of:
* AbuseMistake: An argument that Bruce uses to convince Dick to not become a KidSidekick is that his inevitable injuries would be mistaken as this.

* BadassGrandpa: In the epilogue, Bruce is fifty years old but is still an active vigilante. Deconstructed in that the decades the of vigilantism is catching up with him and he no longer has the stamina of his youth.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Both Dick and Jason. Here it is Jason's death that causes Dick to leave Gotham and become Nightwing.
* BlatantLies: The thin-veiled excuses that Bruce and Dick use to explain away their injuries to Jason.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: What Bruce and the Justice League think Jason he goes on a rampage as Red Robin. [[spoiler: In actuality he realized that he could not escape Ra unless he pretended to hate Bruce and want revenge and played the part.]]

* CuddleBug: Dick, Jason calls him a huggy octopus.

* EntertaininglyWrong: Damian reasons his father's sidekicks don't see fighting before their late teens because they need to be sufficiently trained, but Damian himself has been subjected to TrainingFromHell since early childhood so he gets to be Robin right now, doesn't he? Bruce doesn't waste time popping this dream.

* ExactEavesdropping: Tim has been able to get close enough to Batman to hear him speak to Oracle.
* FantasyForbiddingFather: Bruce, which is the whole point.

* IJustWantToBeLoved: Damian is ''desperate'' for Bruce's attention. He tried to invoke KlingonPromotion on Jason because the older teen spent so much time with their father and is internally devastated when Bruce tells him he's not interested in Damian's fighting prowess, which the boy interpretes as himself having no value.

* InSpiteOfANail: In spite of the fact that Barbara always was MissionControl in the fic [[spoiler:she still [[ComicBook/TheKillingJoke gets paralyzed]] by the Joker]]
** [[spoiler:Jason still dies]], albeit differently which also results in Dick becoming Nightwing
* {{Irony}}: Due to his unpleasant stay with the League of Shadows, Jason comes to detest Talia (with whom he has a fairly good quid pro quo relationship in the comics.) To the point where he recoils in disgust upon realizing that Damian is her child.

* HeroicWillpower: Jason is able to resist the Lazarus madness and bloodlust.
* {{Hypocrite}}: All Al Gouls suffer from it. Ra's crusade is to satisfy his own blood lust. Talia constantly declares her undying love for Bruce but she basically tortures his son for nearly two years. Damian pontificates about 'honourable combat' after having sneaked up on Jason and having stabbed him with a poisoned blade.
* LighterAndSofter: The relationship between the various kids is more amicable than in canon. Dick for instance does not become Nightwing [[spoiler:until after Jason dies]], meaning that he doesn't see Jason as a replacement and has thus avoids his BigBrotherBully in canon.
** While Jason still becomes Red Hood, his relationship with the Batfamily is not shattered because of it.
* MissionControl: Dick and Barbara take this role as they're not allowed to become vigilantes.

* PapaWolf: Bruce full stop. He does everything he can to prevent them from hitting the streets in costume. The kidnappers that kill Jason end up in body casts and most of them do not survive jail once some of the smarter crooks there figure out that Batman was rather upset by Jason Wayne's murder and might come back to visit.

* TrainingFromHell: Jason gets one, courtesy of the League of Assassins.
* KidSidekick: Deconstructed. Bruce doesn't want any of his adopted kids to become vigilantes, even though other superheroes have sidekicks. However the narration that many of this kids get heavily injured. Also, he trains the Teen Titans harshly so they would have less chance of getting hurt.
