* NightmareFuel: To be expected from Creator/ScottSnyder.
** Mirror House is a ReligionOfEvil where the rich of Gotham celebrate Gotham's evil by bargaining over little trinkets of super-villains-- like the crowbar the Joker used to bash Jason Todd's head in. Everyone wears creepy gas masks as the entire room is filled with a potent version of Scarecrow fear toxin. And God forbid if the Dealer opted not to customize your mask to keep it out. And if you're revealed as an outsider, the crowd will literally rip you to shreds.
** After being exposed to the fear gas, Dick has the lovely hallucination of [[spoiler:waking up to find the crowd ''ate his legs'' and then Barbara attacks him with a knife in her teeth, threatening to eat the rest of him.]]
** The Joker barely makes a cameo but makes it worth his while. [[spoiler:He ingests so much Joker toxin mixed with alcohol, he can ''excrete it through his pores''. When he tricks a doctor into touching him, the toxin drives the doctor so mad he becomes a laughing maniac and kills everyone in the room. The aftermath of his carnage will keep you up at night.]]
** [[spoiler:James Jr]] was custom-designed to be this. He looks more or less harmless but he's pure psycho killer. The worst part is that he knows his psychosis is a medical deficiency but has convinced himself that it makes him superior to everyone else. [[spoiler:His entire plot of poisoning baby formula with his tainted meds to usher a whole generation of psychopaths like himself drips with paranoia fuel.]]

*CompleteMonster: James Gordon, Jr. is at his worst here. James Jr. is the [[AntagonisticOffspring son]] of Commissioner James Gordon, and distinguishes himself from his heroic relatives in the extreme. Ever since [[EnfantTerrible his youth]], James Jr. was a vicious SerialKiller, always hoping the next person would pick on him so it would give him an excuse to torture and kill them. In one instance, he cruelly slashed a woman's face for calling him Four-Eyes years prior. In another, he gruesomely dismembered a man for stealing his glasses a decade prior. James Jr. proceeded to torture his mother with the Joker's [[DeadlyGas fear toxin]]; tortured his sister Barbara psychologically and physically, driving a pair of knives into her paralyzed legs; and revealed his master plan to destroy the morality of Gotham's children by [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink injecting their food supply with a drug]] to destroy empathy, which he views as a weakness.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Quite a bit, actually, thanks to Dick in the cowl.
** When Dick is first talking to Jim Gordon in the newly built crime lab, he tries to make small talk but falls a bit flat.
---->'''Dick:''' Call me Dick, please. You drove me to my high school prom.
---->'''Jim:''' Actually, I drove my ''daughter'' to her high school prom. You just happened to be in the car.
** Tim shows Dick-as-Batman the latest invention by Lucius Fox, a mask that sculpts holographic into the face of the person you're impersonating. When Tim asks if this means they're retiring "the old wig and beard truck," Dick (in full Batman gear) can merely quip, "Blasphemy, Mr. Drake. Blasphemy."
** After Batman accidentally accuses Sofia Branch (daughter of Tony Zucco) of foul play while she's right behind him, we get this exchange between Dick and Tim via Batboat radio:
---->'''Tim:''' Let me get this straight... you said "rotten apple" and she was ''right behind you?''
---->'''Batman:''' I apologized... sort of...
---->'''Tim:''' Hang on, I'm tapping into GCPD roof security cam... HA! Your face. That is a Bat-Meme if I've ever seen one. And ''wow''. Ms. Branch is beguilingly attractive. Why is that? Why are there no ''average'' mobsters' daughters?
---->'''Batman:''' She's not exactly your standard mobster's daughter. She's made a pretty herculean effort to distance herself from her father.
---->'''Tim:''' Oh, come on. Tell me you're not into her. She's the daughter of Tony "Fats" Zucco.
---->'''Batman:''' ''I'm not into her.''
---->'''Tim:''' And ''that'' sounded convincing.
---->'''Batman:''' Red Robin? Oh no, you're breaking up.
---->'''Tim:''' Batman, you're on a 5G. I ''can't'' break up.
---->'''Batman:''' Red Robin?
---->'''Tim''': It's scientifically impossible for our connection to-- ''[Batman manually shuts off the radio]''
