* Meta: the film never treats Joker and Harley as the creepy, abusive couple they've been in many other media. Instead Joker sees her as a platonic friend and an equal partner in crime. A lot of people have ruffled feathers of how their relationship has been portrayed in other stories, so it's refreshing for them to not actually be a thing for once.

* After Dick gets hurt because the Batmobile has no seat-belts, Batman decides to go slowly and to use his arm as one, also declaring he'll put them when they go back. It's the first thing in the whole movie that ''isn't'' self-centered, showing that he's not 100% jerkass. Keep in mind, he took Dick along as 110% expendable, and yet is caring about his safety.

* In most other media, Dick Grayson (and the other Robins) are Bruce Wayne's "wards" and actual adoptions take place a long time later (if ever). Here, Dick is immediately adopted by Bruce (albeit by accident), and then recruited into crime-fighting because of his usefulness. The fact that Robin constantly calls Batman variants of 'Dad' is as sweet as it is hilarious.

* Right after [[spoiler: Joker has released an army of otherworldly villains from the Phantom Zone, and Batman and Robin are stuck in Arkham Asylum]] Dick is understandably terrified. He asks Batman if he's ever been scared, and though Batman denies it adamantly he hears Dick crying softly through the walls and comforts Dick by telling him that Bruce Wayne is someone who gets scared. It's the first fatherly thing he does completely willingly. He then tells Dick:

* Barbara is remarkably perceptive about Batman's issues. The first time he realizes that he has nothing to do with the bad guys captured, he kinda goes into a fugue state, and you can see Babs noticing and quietly getting everyone to give him some space without drawing attention to it. Same when he's triggered by the word "family".
