* Then there's the episode in which Batman [[TimeTravel goes back in time]] to meet Franchise/SherlockHolmes and Etrigan the Demon and try to stop JackTheRipper AKA [[OurGhostsAreDifferent Gentleman Jim Craddock]] from draining the life out of hapless women to [[BlackMagic summon forth a]] [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils fiend from Hell]] to gain supernatural powers. Batman tries to warn Craddock that he doesn't know what is actually going to happen but is ignored. At the very end we see the ghostly Craddock standing over his grave, in his usual Edwardian finery, his body as always invisible, until the lightning flashes and we see him as he truly is: [[spoiler: a rotted and demonic-looking corpse.]]

** If the Mirror Universe of the show is anything like the one from the comics, yes, he was born that way, because in that universe, ''evil is the dominant force of the universe''.

** Worse yet, there's a list of the death methods that the Dark Knight goes through in a DeathMontage ([[GoryDiscretionShot mostly offscreen]] [[LighterAndSofter and less graphic than in]] [[ComicBook/EmperorJoker the original Superman comic book]]):
### SquashedFlat [[DropTheHammer by a giant iron hammer in a]] {{Rube Goldberg|Device}} DeathTrap (the creators tried to soften the blow by showing the audience [[WingedSoulFliesOffAtDeath a winged spirit of Batman complete with halo, harp and cowl, flying off to the heavens]] after he gets crushed, which only makes it a bit better, but still disturbing for some children)
### StrippedToTheBone by the aforementioned AcidPool
### [[KillItWithFire Incinerated to ashes by]] {{f|ireBreathingWeapon}}lamethrowers
### [[LudicrousGibs Shredded into bits by a woodchipper]]
### [[OffWithHisHead Decapitated by a guillotine]]
### Dropped into the SharkPool and EatenAlive by {{Threatening Shark}}s
### Crushed by snapping {{spike|sOfDoom}}d [[TheWallsAreClosingIn wall]] [[BuffySpeak trap thingies]]
### ChainedToARailway and run over by a train
### [[ElectricTorture Electrocuted by the]] [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment electric chair]] (as indicated by the smoke rising from his newly-revived body as he falls over from the chair)
