* AFoolForAClient: The court in Gordon's nightmare doesn't even pretend to be impartial, so Gordon is forced to represent himself (and every attempt he makes to plead his case gets ignored by the prosecutor or shouted down by the judge.)
* AttendingYourOwnFuneral: While comatose, Jim dreams that he's attending his own wake at the GCPD; he sees cops and criminals alike getting drunk and singing to celebrate Captain Gordon's demise.

* FakeShemp: Scarecrow, Mother, Professor Pyg, and Kathryn Monroe are all played by body doubles to save the time and money required to bring back their usual actors for what amounted to a brief cameo; all four are silent and wearing their signature masks so the audience won't be able to tell the difference.

* KangarooCourt: The titular "trial" is a coma nightmare Jim faces as a manifestation of his [[GuiltComplex ceaseless guilt]] and subsequent [[DeathSeeker desire for death]]. The trial is more-or-less rigged against him from the start: the Judge ignores Gordon's refusal to accept the charges. From there, the prosecutor -- who is a clone of Gordon -- calls Lee as a witness and basically uses leading questions to goad her into making a vague statement that the court accepts as evidence of Gordon's guilt. Any attempt by the real Gordon to object is either ignored or shouted down, and the Judge even threatens to hold Gordon in contempt when the latter points out that he's bleeding out from a bullet wound. Gordon doesn't even get a chance to defend himself before being declared guilty by a jury consisting entirely of people who died in the explosion at Haven. Gordon's self-loathing is so severe that he can't even defend himself from his own subconscious.
