History Recap / TheNewBatmanAdventuresE20GirlsNightOut

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: After the Iceberg Lounge is wrecked by Poison Ivy's giant vines:
-->'''Penguin:''' You heard me! I need chainsaws, dump trucks, hedge clippers, and a bottle of aspirin down here now!
* BatmanGambit: Ivy got Supergirl with her vine seeds. When she throws another set at Batgirl, Supergirl blasts them with heat vision.
-->'''Poison Ivy:''' Thank you for being so predictable, Supergirl. You just released the most virulent, allergenic pollen in the flora kingdom. The reaction is quite deadly, as your playmate is finding out.

-->'''Livewire:''' Are you out of your mind?!\\
'''Harley Quinn:''' ...Yeah!

* OutOfCharacterMoment: After Bullock disparages Batgirl and Supergirl, Batgirl tells Supergirl to "ignore that donut dunker." Given that Barbara usually respects Harvey as a cop second only to her father, this insult feels rather jarring for her.

* HarmfulHealing: Not feeling like taking the time to brush the silica off Livewire, Harley instead opts to douser her with a seltzer bottle, short-circuiting her powers and severely weakening her. Livewire about attacks Harley in retaliation before she loses strength.

!!Tropes:

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: After the Iceberg Lounge is wrecked:
-->'''Penguin:''' "You heard me! I need chainsaws, dump trucks, hedge clippers, and a bottle of aspirin down here now!"

* ButtMonkey: Poor Harley gets it the worst in this episode since it mostly deals with super-powered villains and she lacks the fighting prowess of Batgirl. With few exceptions, her actions are useless (hitting things with a big squeaky mallet) or worse (washing the insulating dust off Livewire with a seltzer bottle and shorting out her electrical powers), leading to eyerolling and mockery from the other villains.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Both Batgirl ''and'' Supergirl are treated like second-class trainees of the veteran heroes, but they get a small compliment by Bullock - of all people - at the end.

* EpicFail: Harley tries to attack Supergirl with a {{Red Boxing Glove|s}} on a spring, only to knock herself out with said boxing glove. In fairness, it's ''Supergirl'' and she was at least trying to ambush her. On a regular person it would've worked, but, well, again, girl of steel here.

* IdiotBall: Harley unfortunately has to carry it and the Incompetence Ball this episode. Since neither Poison Ivy, Livewire, Supergirl nor Batgirl really lend themselves to being PlayedForLaughs, the comedy onus is pretty much all on Harley. Consequently, she has decided that [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer every solution involves a large squeaky mallet.]]

-->'''Livewire''': Are you out of your mind?!\\
'''Harley Quinn''': ...Yeah!

* LowerDeckEpisode: The stars take the episode off. Bruce Wayne is on a business trip in Europe. Crime in Metropolis is so low that Supergirl gets bored and heads out to help Gotham.

-->'''Penguin:''' We're closed! And besides, you two aren't even old enough to come in here. [[note]]Which is untrue as Batgirl's in her twenties and Supergirl is older than she looks due to cryogenic suspension. Though Penguin likely didn't know or was just being facetious. Fridge Brilliance because they both have "girl" in the name and not "woman". Compared to Batman and Superman. [[/note]].

* PetTheDog: Poison Ivy was more than capable of gruesomely murdering the unquestionably outclassed mall security guard but simply chooses to [[DruggedLipstick knock him out]]. Although, it's a little backhanded since she doesn't consider him worthy of an actual snog, using her lipstick stained fingers instead.
* ShootingSuperman: Rather, hitting Supergirl with a squeaky mallet. Harley attempts it, and the recoil whacks her in the face.

* SurroundedByIdiots: [[Recap/SupermanTheAnimatedSeriesS2E10DoubleDose Like what previously happened with Parasite]], Livewire considers herself a boss here and is disrespectful to Poison Ivy and openly mocks Harley.

* TemporarilyExaggeratedTrait: Harley, who is usually ObfuscatingStupidity and a HypercompetentSidekick, turned into DumbBlonde [[{{Manchild}} Womanchild]] (to the TooDumbToLive - level) in this episode.

* TooDumbToLive: Harley has several of these moments, but trying to dousing [[ShockAndAwe Livewire]] with water is certainly up there.

* OutOfCharacterMoment: After Bullock disparages Batgirl and Supergirl, Batgirl tells Supergirl to "ignore that donut dunker." Given that Barbara usually respects Harvey as a cop second only to her father, this insult feels rather out of place for her.

* OOCMoment: After Bullock disparages Batgirl and Supergirl, Batgirl tells Supergirl to "ignore that donut dunker." Given that Barbara usually respects Harvey as a cop second only to her father, this insult feels rather out of place for her.

* DistractedByTheSexy: One gets the sense the sweaty, trembling mall security guard hasn't ever had a redheaded bombshell with [[ContraltoOfDanger a breathy voice]] like Poison Ivy sensually glide towards him before.

-->'''Livewire''': Are you out of your mind?!
-->'''Harley Quinn''': ...Yeah!

* SurroundedByIdiots: Livewire considers herself a boss here and is disrespectful to Poison Ivy and openly mocks Harley.

* CowardlyLion: Give the mall security guard some credit, he still ''tried'' to do his job, running out to face Ivy, Quinn and Livewire with a loaded handgun. [[TooDumbToLive Suicidally moronic]] given the countless ways the three deadly beauties could have ended him if they decided to? Of course. But, points for bravery.

** The nervous mall security guard who feebly attempts to stop the villainous trio. Poor guy starts sweating bullets when Ivy slinks up to him and [[DruggedLipstick knocks him out]]. To add insult to injury she doesn't even properly kiss him. Just smooching onto two fingers then pressing ''them''against his lips.
