| 11 | |
| 12 | The quick-thinking straight man in the action-packed and often hilarious world of The Brave and the Bold, Batman is relentless in his pursuit of justice and infinitely patient in his dealings with quirky guest stars and sidekicks. This Batman isn't the brooding Dark Knight we've come to know in recent years but is equally fast with a dry joke or a flying Batarang. |
| 13 | ---- |
| 14 | * AdaptationOriginConnection: |
| 15 | ** "Return of the Fearsome Fangs!" has flashbacks that depict Bruce training alongside Bronze Tiger and the Terrible Trio prior to becoming Batman. While Bronze Tiger is himself a martial artist, there are no hints Ben Turner ever trained with Bruce in the comics and the Terrible Trio aren't martial artists in the comics. |
| 16 | ** This continuity has him responsible for Plastic Man gaining his powers as well as redeeming himself from his life of crime by becoming a superhero. Batman had no involvement whatsoever with Plastic Man's origin in the comics. |
| 17 | * TheAce: He's so famous as a hero that even several aliens and people from the future revere him. |
| 18 | * AdaptiveAbility: Although considered a non-powered hero, Batman's greatest asset (besides his [[CrazyPrepared preplanning skills]]) is his uncanny ability to adapt to seemingly any situation, no matter how bizarre or out of his element. |
| 19 | * AnimalMotifs: Bats as his name may indicate. |
| 20 | * AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: To even the odds against Equinox in "The Fate of Equinox!". |
| 21 | * BadassCape: Just look at it. Then again, Batman always has one. |
| 22 | * BadassNormal: He has no powers but is still a highly effective hero. To the point that he's semi-reguarly knocking around villains who frankly shouldn't even notice Batman hitting them with his bare hands. |
| 23 | * BadHabits: Thoroughly questions a hospitalized and fading fast ex-gangster while dressed as a priest to learn Joe Chill's name and location. That said, this is understandable, given the circumstances. |
| 24 | * BatmanGambit: Uses these often, as he is the TropeNamer. |
| 25 | * BigBrotherIsWatching: He sets up a mass surveillance system over Gotham that goes so far as to detect ''thoughts'' of criminality in the populace. The Joker and the Weeper team up to destroy it, which may possibly be the only time in history where the Joker has both moral and audience support over Batman. That said, this was largely from [[UnreliableNarrator the Joker's point of view.]] |
| 26 | * BigBrotherMentor: To pretty much ''every'' superhero and superheroine. |
| 27 | ** Except the ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica; they're ''his'' mentors. |
| 28 | * CassandraTruth: He unsuccessfully attempts to warn Craddock in "Trials of the Demon!" of what his DealWithTheDevil will get ultimately him. |
| 29 | * CelibateHero: Unless, of course, it involves [[DatingCatwoman Catwoman]]. |
| 30 | ** A tie-in comic story also implies he will one day sire a son with Talia by the name of Damian, just like the original comic series. |
| 31 | * ChestInsignia: Doubles as an emergency batarang. |
| 32 | * ChickMagnet: Catwoman, Black Canary, Talia Al Ghul, Vicky Vale; even Huntress and Batwoman flirt with him. Even Poison Ivy has a fondness for him as she considered sparing him if he agreed to marry her. |
| 33 | * ClearMyName: After Owlman pretends to be him for three weeks. |
| 34 | * TheComicallySerious: Batman's lines and the situations he gets into are often incredibly absurd, but he never shows any sign of letting TheStoic image slip. |
| 35 | -->''"Sorry, Mrs. Manface, the Hammer of Justice is unisex!"''\ |
| 36 | ''"That was an ape, driving a cab."''\ |
| 37 | ''"Can't talk. Skiing ninjas with lasers."'' |
| 38 | * CoolCar: The Batmobile. |
| 39 | %%* CostumeCopycat: |
| 40 | * CrazyPrepared: |
| 41 | ** Has pretty much anything and everything stored in that belt of his, from a length of rope to dog biscuits. |
| 42 | ** He hid bolt-holes and secret tunnels all over Gotham. |
| 43 | ** The Bat-Computer has files on it detailing the way to subdue his fellow superheroes if they ever wound up under someone else's control. This comes back to bite Bats in the butt, when Owlman manages to find them and use them. |
| 44 | * CupidsArrow: In the tie-in comic story "The Bride and the Bold" one of Eros' arrows hits Batman to make him "fall in love with Wonder Woman." [[spoiler: While going to City Hall to get a marriage license, seeing "Lady Justice" snaps Batman out of it. But that doesn't stop him from planning a mock wedding with Wonder Woman to trap those a jealous Talia Al'Ghul get together to crash said wedding. The lone escapee, Mouseman, couldn't believe the fiasco, and Catwoman has some intent on getting more details...]] |
| 45 | * DeadpanSnarker: Less than you'd expect, but if something ''especially'' ridiculous happens you can bet on him having a dry observation ready. |
| 46 | * DeathMontage: Happens to Batman in "Emperor Joker!". The Joker resurrects him after every death only to make the next [[ColdBloodedTorture even more brutal than the last]]. Like in the original comic storyline, Batman is almost utterly broken by the end of it, but he gets better after the Joker loses his godlike powers. |
| 47 | * DoesntLikeGuns: Obviously, but [[spoiler:in "Mitefall!", after [[RealityWarper Bat-Mite]] changes reality so that the show will JumpTheShark, Batman does use guns. Until Ambush Bug convinces Batman to remember who he is]]. |
| 48 | * ElaborateUndergroundBase: The Batcave. |
| 49 | * EmpoweredBadassNormal: The show ''loves'' giving Batman random powers that last [[SuperpowersForADay for one episode]]. |
| 50 | ** In "Long Arm of the Law!", Batman (along with Kite Man) gets hit with a ray that turns things [[RubberMan elastic]], thereby giving Batman the same powers as Plasticman. |
| 51 | ** In "Requiem for a Scarlet Speedster!", Batman and the Flashes travel to a future ruled by Professor Zoom. So Batman steals the speed bracelets of all of Zoom's guards, becoming a speedster himself to face Zoom, albeit temporarily. |
| 52 | ** In "Shadow of the Bat!", Batman is turned into a vampire, along with an impressive array of vampiric powers. He's also hungry for the Justice League International's blood. |
| 53 | ** The most impressive example would be "The Fate of Equinox!". After Equinox absorbs all the powers of the Lords of Order and Chaos, Batman and Doctor Fate decide to [[AllYourPowersCombined combine some powers themselves]]. Summoning many heroes such as Aquaman, Blue Beetle, Doctor Fate, Flash, Green Lantern, Plastic Man, and Red Tornado, it is decided Batman who has the strongest will is the one who shall house all the powers. Batman grows gigantic in size into "Bat Monolith" where he has all the powers of the summoned superheroes to fight Equinox. |
| 54 | * ExpressiveMask: As always, his mask presents his emotions. |
| 55 | * FemmeFatalons: When he switched bodies with Katrina Moldov. |
| 56 | * FountainOfYouth: In "The Malicious Mr. Mind!", Batman gets hit by Sivana's Age Reversing Youth Ray, causing Batman to become younger over the course of the episode. At first he's a moody teen, then he's a curious child, and finally a baby who is unable to speak. But he still manages to beat Mr. Mind, ''as a baby''. |
| 57 | * GoodOldFisticuffs: Although Batman has enough technology and resources to decimate crime on a whim, he admits that he finds using the Hammers of Justice way more fun. |
| 58 | * HeroicWillpower: Constantly. |
| 59 | -->"They tell me it's all about will and will's one thing I've got plenty of!" |
| 60 | * HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: While not masked [[spoiler:until "Chill Of the Night" when he's confronting Joe Chill, the man who murdered his parents]]. |
| 61 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Usually subverted, but he once believed Sinestro was trustworthy (in fairness, Sinestro was a Green Lantern at the time). |
| 62 | * HyperspaceArsenal: He can store pretty much anything in that Utility Belt of his. |
| 63 | * HypocriticalHumor: If he gets into a childish competition with Green Arrow, he'll tell Arrow to stop being so childish...then immediately one-up him. |
| 64 | * ICallItVera: Beware his [[GoodOldFisticuffs Hammers of Justice]]. |
| 65 | * InvincibleHero: To the point that it gets a LampshadeHanging. And at the same time somewhat averted. Batman is hailed as the greatest hero, but loses several fights and has to be rescued a couple of times by other heroes or a stroke of luck. |
| 66 | * KryptoniteFactor: When on Zur-En-Arrh in "The Super Batman of Planet X!" he exposed to Rodon, a native element. This gives Superman-like powers to Batman, but EvilGenius Rothul discovers the Quartz of Zur-En-Ah acts Kryptonite to Super Batman. Tlano, the Zur-En-Arrh Batman, sprays the weakened Batman with a compound that normalizes him to where he's [[BroughtDownToNormal no longer affected]] by either the Rodon OR the Quartz. |
| 67 | * LanternJawOfJustice: He has a square jaw, which is emphasized by his cowl. |
| 68 | * LighterAndSofter: Compared to several other incarnations of Batman. While he is gruff and aloof, he's much more pleasant towards other heroes, willingly working with them and even calling Green Arrow a friend. The lightness of this interpretation is often openly lampshaded in-universe by Bat-Mite. |
| 69 | ** The only exception to this is in "Chill of the Night", which presents a darker than usual (by this universe's standards) take on Batman's character more in line with his portrayal in the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse. This episode arguably takes it a [[DarkerAndEdgier step further]] by having Batman consider ''murdering'' Joe Chill in cold blood. |
| 70 | * LiteralSplitPersonality: "A Bat Divided" has him split in three by a damaged nuclear reactor - Science Batman, representing his intellect; Physical Batman, representing his anger and love of crime-fighting; and "[[StonersAreFunny Slacker]]" Batman, who gets what's left over, most of which is the munchies. |
| 71 | * MasterOfUnlocking: The lockpick in his gloves got him out of more jams than his UtilityBelt ever did. |
| 72 | * NiceGuy: By virtue of being LighterAndSofter. He's friendlier and more pleasant to other people, and is much more open to working with other superheroes. The only time this flies out the window is in "Chill of the Night", where he outright considers ''killing'' Joe Chill for his parents' murder. Even then, he ultimately relents and tries to save Chill from death. |
| 73 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When he finally manages to track down his parents' murderer Joe Chill, Bruce abandons the quips, gimmicks, and superhero team-ups and seriously considers going in for the kill. |
| 74 | ** In "Joker: The Vile and the Villainous", Batman is presented in a decidedly fascistic light as he abuses his own mass surveillance system to spy on ordinary citizens throughout Gotham, prompting the Joker to take a rare heroic turn to stop him. ''The Brave and the Bold'''s Batman usually makes it clear that he prefers fighting crime on the streets. Although considering that the whole episode is framed from the Joker's perspective, Batman's villainy is emphasised for comedic effect. |
| 75 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: [[spoiler: That is until he unmasked himself to the mugger that killed his parents when he was eight years old, Joe Chill, and told him his real name]]. |
| 76 | * ParentalAbandonment: Aw heck, one more time! ''[[RunningGag HIS PARENTS ARE]]'' '''''[[MemeticMutation DEEAAAAAAAD!]]''''' |
| 77 | * PrimaryColorChampion: As {{lampshade|hanging}}d by Sherlock Holmes, the blue and yellow in Batman's costume are indicative of his heroic nature. |
| 78 | * RagnarokProofing: He builds things to last. One episode shows the Bat-Cave still functioning decades or possibly even centuries after the Great Disaster (albeit, admittedly, not entirely intact). |
| 79 | * SayingTooMuch: Lets slip to Jamie that his predecessor was killed in action. He quickly backtracks to claim he "retired". |
| 80 | * SecretIdentityApathy: His alter ego as Bruce Wayne isn't focused on very much if at all, but Holmes has no trouble believing that Batman's secret identity is as "a wealthy entrepreneur with ample free time." |
| 81 | * StraightMan: Of the entire universe. No matter what madness he faces, Batman remains entirely unfazed by any of it. |
| 82 | * TheStoic: He rarely presents his emotions, just like most versions of the character. |
| 83 | * StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Depending on who Batman's facing, his competence and capabilities can be upgraded to face villains who are traditionally way out of his league. And even if he doesn't win against them and requires the help of another hero to save the day, he'll still be able to hang with them and take direct blows without being turned into a fine red mist after one punch. |
| 84 | * SuperHero: He is one. |
| 85 | * SurroundedByIdiots: Depending on the team-up. If it's ComicBook/{{Booster|Gold}} or ComicBook/{{Plas|ticMan}}, this ''will'' occur. |
| 86 | * TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:When he confronts his parents' killer, Joe Chill. This is as close to a conventionally dark, modern take on Batman's character that you'll ever see in this show.]] |
| 87 | * UnstoppableRage: When he unleashes a beatdown upon Joe Chill who was responsible for his parents' death. |
| 88 | * UnusuallyUninterestingSight: With a bit of UnfazedEveryman. No matter how absurd the situation, the most Batman may utter is a dry remark before seamlessly adapting to the circumstances faster than a fish to water (or a bat to air). |
| 89 | * {{Workaholic}}: Ted considers him more of a "work friend" next to Booster's "fun friend". Bats has no idea what he's talking about. "What's more fun than fighting crime?" |
| 90 | * WouldHitAGirl: The hammer of justice is unisex, so he has no problems socking one to Miss Manface, or Catwoman (when he's not busy flirting with the latter) as necessary. |

| 96 | !!ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} (Arthur Curry) |
| 97 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JohnDiMaggio [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Michel Vigné, Creator/DanielBeretta [singing voice in two episodes] (FR)[[/labelnote]] |
| 98 | [[quoteright:96:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/BB_Aquaman.png]] |
| 99 | |
| 100 | Both valiant and vainglorious, AQUAMAN is the barrel-chested King of {{Atlantis}} and, in his own eyes, is as heroic as they come. Fearless and loyal, AQUAMAN is the first to answer when duty calls, and he relishes the glory of the fight. He has the disposition of a hearty Greek God and the ego and brawn to match. |
| 101 | |
| 102 | %% Please note: Before adding tropes that compare the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' version of AQUAMAN to other versions, |
| 103 | %% be sure you have actual familiarity with those versions and not just the "Aquaman is Useless" meme. |
| 104 | ---- |
| 105 | * AdaptationalBadass: [[MakingASplash Hydrokinesis]] is typically not one of Aquaman's abilities, but it's a core part of his skillset here. This is not the first series to have given him such a power, though. |
| 106 | * AesopAmnesia: The ending of "Evil Under the Sea!" subverts this. AQUAMAN chooses not to exile Orm on the grounds that "you don't give up on family." Batman is incredulous, at least until AQUAMAN begins reading his captive brother his autobiography. Seeing how much that infuriates Orm, Batman realizes that is a worse punishment than exile would've been. |
| 107 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: While on vacation, Mera has to constantly remind her husband to stop daydreaming while he's driving. |
| 108 | * TheBigGuy: Whenever he's around, he's often the muscle of the assembled heroes. |
| 109 | * BoisterousBruiser: He's extremely outgoing and personable while also enjoying a fight. |
| 110 | * BreakoutCharacter: Bat-Mite even uses the term in the series finale. He has the most appearances of any guest-hero in the series. |
| 111 | * CainAndAbel: With his half-brother Orm, going back to the day their mom made Arthur king of Atlantis. Orm... didn't take that too well. |
| 112 | * CharacterCatchphrase: OUTRAGEOUS! |
| 113 | * CharacterDevelopment: He's noticeably more subdued in the introductory episode "Evil Under the Sea!" than his subsequent, consistently hammier appearances, and [[VocalEvolution DiMaggio's performance reflects that]]. |
| 114 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The titles of the various adventures he likes to tell. |
| 115 | -->'''AQUAMAN:''' And the time I had to wear an eye-patch to infiltrate a crew of pirates. I call that--\ |
| 116 | '''Batman:''' "AQUAMAN's Undercover Adventure."\ |
| 117 | '''AQUAMAN:''' No. "The Time I Wore an Eye-Patch to Infiltrate a Crew Of Pirates." But what you said is good, too. |
| 118 | * {{Expy}}: The show's version of ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} is basically a [[LighterAndSofter PG-rated]] aquatic version of ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules. |
| 119 | %%* FunPersonified: |
| 120 | * GentlemanAdventurer: He is a valiant gentleman who is also a superhero. |
| 121 | * HeartIsAnAwesomePower: His Rousing Song of Heroism emphasizes that guts, determination, and heart are more important than superpowers such as flight, super strength, and shapeshifting. |
| 122 | * HenpeckedHusband: Slightly. He only went on a road trip vacation because his wife wanted to. He also tries to perform heroics behind her back after she insisted this was a family vacation. |
| 123 | * HeroWorshipper: He greatly respects Batman as a superhero and puts him on a pedestal. Aquaman proclaims Batman [[OverlyLongGag is the best, of the best, of the best, of the best, of the best, of the best, of the best, of the very best]]; Repeatedly. |
| 124 | ** In "Powerless!" |
| 125 | --->'''Captain Atom:''' [[UnderestimatingBadassery The guy has no superpowers]], [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway not even a lame one]]. And yet, everybody here thinks he's the greatest SuperHero in the universe.\ |
| 126 | '''AQUAMAN:''' [[LivingLegend 'Cause it's TRUE!]]. |
| 127 | * HeroicBSOD: In "Mystery in Space!", Batman encounters a surprisingly depressed AQUAMAN, who starts questioning the point of being a hero. It turns out to be because he failed to save a beluga whale from illegal whaling. Naturally, he breaks out of that soon enough. |
| 128 | * HotBlooded: It's amazing that he hasn't boiled away the ocean! |
| 129 | * HypocriticalHumor: AQUAMAN found it odd that Adam Strange could be so jovial in the face of danger. |
| 130 | ** In "Powerless!": |
| 131 | --->''(Batman has just rattled off a list of Captain Atom's powers)''\ |
| 132 | '''AQUAMAN:''' Impressive! But he should try mixing a little humility with those superpowers. Like I do! ''(rather smug smile)'' |
| 133 | * IdiotHero: He's not really ''stupid'', but he [[LeeroyJenkins rarely thinks his actions through and prefers to charge in, fists swinging, instead of planning ahead]]. |
| 134 | * TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Been prone to doing this from time to time, especially when he has his adventures with Batman. |
| 135 | * LargeHam: Almost always speaks with inordinate volume and vigor like a Silver Age superhero would. |
| 136 | * LeeroyJenkins: [[HilariousInHindsight Even down to calling people 'chums'.]] |
| 137 | * MakingASplash: [[CoolSword Water swords]] and [[KamehameHadoken water hadokens]]! His greatest feat however is calling up a GiantWallOfWateryDoom. |
| 138 | * NiceGuy: Easily the most jovial and kindly character in the whole show, if not the entire DC Universe. |
| 139 | * NonHumanSidekick: Fluke, a PlayfulDolphin, and one of the few beings Batman really ''hates''. |
| 140 | * OverlyPolitePals: With Batman mostly, even though the former hides his slight frustration with Arthur's over-zealousness. |
| 141 | * RousingSpeech: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTyRRSSkK4k Rousing Song of Heroism]]. |
| 142 | ** It was one of these from Batman that shook ''him'' out of his HeroicBSOD. |
| 143 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He's the king of Atlantis. |
| 144 | * SemanticSuperpower: He can control ''silverfish'', too, despite the fact that they’re bugs, and not even ''aquatic'' bugs. |
| 145 | * ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Downplayed: his abilities, such as SuperStrength and the ability to form water-based weapons, are useful just about anywhere, but episodes featuring him still tend to toss in aquatic setpieces so that his main power of sea life control isn't an InformedAbility (for instance, Clock King holding someone hostage in front of a lobster tank). |
| 146 | * TimePassageBeard: Inverted, with a flashback to the early days of the Justice League shows him ''without'' his beard. |
| 147 | * VibrantOrange: AQUAMAN wears an orange shirt and is outgoing and personable, [[BoisterousBruiser even when fighting]]. |
| 148 | * TheWorfEffect: While the show was the final step in breaking his persistent "Aquaman is useless" reputation and cemented his status as a legitimate badass in the eyes of the audience, a side-effect was that it also made him prone to fall victim to this trope. Unless AQUAMAN is the focus character of the episode, he often gets saddled with the role of "hero who gets taken out, captured or mind-controlled to show that the villain is an actual threat." |

| 155 | |
| 156 | An Asian-American scientist whose costume allows him to shrink himself (and others) down in size, up to microscopic size. He's a LegacyCharacter, having inherited the costume from the previous wearer, Ray Palmer. He's the type to solve everything by thinking first, but at least once lost his composure and went into an UnstoppableRage. Prolonged exposure to AQUAMAN may have had something to do with this. |
| 157 | ---- |
| 158 | * AsianAndNerdy: He's an Asian-American scientist. |
| 159 | %%* BewareTheNiceOnes |
| 160 | * ClothesMakeTheSuperman: His powers come from his suit. |

| 162 | * IncredibleShrinkingMan: He has the power to shrink. |
| 163 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Very curt and aloof, but definitely a good guy. And in fairness, he is often stuck with AQUAMAN. |
| 164 | * LegacyCharacter: Came after Ray Palmer, the original Atom. |
| 165 | * NotThatKindOfDoctor: Is introduced when AQUAMAN calls on him to help an ailing Batman, leading to this exchange: |
| 166 | -->'''AQUAMAN:''' What kind of medicine shall we prescribe, doc?\ |
| 167 | '''Atom:''' You don't know what kind of a doctor I am, do you?\ |
| 168 | '''AQUAMAN:''' A ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint hero]]'' doctor, through and through!\ |

| 183 | Black Canary is a superheroine with hand-to-hand combat prowess and a supersonic scream. She appears most prominently in the episodes "Mayhem of the Music Meister!", "The Golden Age of Justice" and "The Mask of Matches Malone". |
| 184 | ---- |
| 185 | * ActionHeroine: She has powers but relies more on her martial arts skills to fight crime. |
| 186 | * ArousedByTheirVoice: The Music Meister was impressed by her BeautifulSingingVoice, although given her sonic scream, he might have wished he wasn't. |
| 187 | * FemmeFatale: Her method of disposing Solomon Grundy without moving a muscle. |
| 188 | * IdenticalGranddaughter: She is entirely identical to her mother. The only difference between them is that Dinah doesn't wear a mask. |
| 189 | * LegacyCharacter: She inherited the mantle from her mother. |
| 190 | * MissingMom: Her mom died in the line of duty, though the JSA kept the whole story from her. |
| 191 | * MsFanservice: Her character design has to be the most obvious Fanservice of the series. |
| 192 | * ParentalFavouritism: Or surrogate parents as the case may be. She points out they treated her with kid gloves, while (in her eyes) favouring Batman. Flashbacks show that they were ''much'' harsher on Batman during training. |
| 193 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She acts like a [[GoodIsNotNice bad girl]] toward Batman, but she eventually falls in love with [[TheHeart Green Arrow]]. |
| 194 | * StayInTheKitchen: On the receiving end from the JSA, who treat her like a little child. |
| 195 | * SuperScream: Wouldn't be the Black Canary without her signature Canary Cry. |

| 197 | * VitriolicBestBuds: With Huntress and Catwoman. |

| 206 | El Paso, Texas native Jaime Reyes thought the closest he would ever get to Batman was the posters adorning his walls, but when a mysterious alien technology device turned him into the hero Blue Beetle, the fanboy's wildest dreams became a reality. Jaime can't help but tackle every mission with wide-eyed wonder and brings a youthful buoyancy to even the toughest fights. |
| 207 | ---- |
| 208 | * AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Beating Kanjar Ro gives him a big head. |
| 209 | * AdaptiveArmor: The scarab generated armor is capable of turning into all manner of things. |
| 210 | * AnimalMotifs: A beetle. |
| 211 | * ArmCannon: His primary weapon. |
| 212 | * AscendedFanboy: He had a love of superheroes (particularly Batman) before acquiring the Scarab. |
| 213 | * AssimilationBackfire: It wasn't until the scarab fully subsumed Jaime that he managed to overcome it completely. |
| 214 | * ClingyCostume: The Scarab is attached to Jamie's spine. Removing it would be painful. |
| 215 | * ColorCharacter: '''Blue''' Beetle. |
| 216 | * DeadpanSnarker: In the episode "Darkseid Descending!" after Fire asks for everyone's opinion on her outfit, Jaime is the first to chime in with a sarcastic snarky comment. |

| 244 | A mere janitor in TheFuture, Booster Gold was clever enough to know that technology that was commonplace in his home era would be enough to make him superhuman in the bygone times of the 21st century. So he stole a strength-enhancing flight suit and a RobotBuddy named Skeets, and headed into the past with the express intention of making boatloads of money as a famous superhero. It hasn't quite worked out that way, as he doesn't seem to realize that you have to do actual heroing to become a famous superhero. |

| 286 | Ten year old Billy Batson was chosen by the wizard Shazam to wield his power to defend the world from evil. By speaking the wizard's name Billy is transformed by a bolt of magical lightning into the adult superhero Captain Marvel, the World's Mightiest Mortal. Batman, sympathetic to Billy due to their similar origins (both were orphaned at a young age), helped reunite Billy with his sister. Captain Marvel has also helped Batman out on several cases, most notably against Starro and the Faceless Hunter. Later joins Batman and Martian Manhunter's Justice League International. |
| 287 | ---- |

| 307 | * {{Manchild}}: Literally true in Billy's case, as his mind is still in control of the Captain Marvel body when he transforms.

| 364 | * CallingtheOldManOut: When Killer Frost tells about how bad a boyfriend Ronnie Raymond was, Jason calls him on it. |
| 365 | * CharacterExaggeration: In the comics, Jason is nerdy, and Ronnie is kind of a dumb jock, but the show takes these and exaggerates them, making pre-Firestorm Jason a short, scrawny nerd, where as in the comics he's pretty darned good-looking (his appearance as Firestorm is how Comic Jason looks ''all the time''), and Ronnie a large, bungling doofus. |
| 366 | * CompositeCharacter: In the comics, Ronnie Raymond was the dominant half and a high school student, fused with his teacher Martin Stein, who acted as the voice of reason in his while the two were fused as Firestorm. Here, Ronnie is half of the partnership, but ''he's'' the teacher in Firestorm's head, while Jason is the voice of reason but serves as Firestorm's body. |
| 367 | * DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: The creators had lots of fun with this version of Firestorm, with most depictions being a young boy fused with a wise professor who talks in his head. Here the relationship is inverted, where it's a smart kid with a bigger dumb teacher in his head telling him what to do. |
| 368 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Ronnie Raymond, a grown-up version of the original comic book character. Not necessarily the nicest guy you'll ever meet, but he still tells Jason to leave him behind when he realizes his injury means he can't escape an impending meltdown in time. Fortunately, despite Jason ignoring him, all it does is fuse the two of them together. |

After all, it just makes them better heroes, right? |
| 380 | ---- |
| 381 | * ArbitrarySkepticism: What? Batman's soul is out of its body and has possessed my sidekick? Oh, that's crazy. Subverted, however, in that Green Arrow quickly believes Batman's story. |
| 382 | ** In "Game Over for Owlman!" he immediately disregards Batman's claim of being impersonated by an evil alternate universe counterpart, which isn't all ''that'' unusual considering the world they live in. |

| 475 | |
| 476 | Reformed petty thief Eel O'Brian got a second lease on life as a flexible former felon working at Batman's side. The rubbery shape-shifter is part one-man comedy show, part malleable merchant of justice, doling out wisecracks and hard knocks with haphazard glee. And while the call of cash still rings in his ears, the little Batman on his shoulder yells much louder. |
| 477 | ---- |
| 478 | * AdaptationalNameChange: His forename is changed from Patrick to Edward in this show. |
| 479 | * AdaptationOriginConnection: This version of Plastic Man was once a henchman of Kite Man and had Batman responsible for the accident that gave him his stretching powers as well as his path towards redeeming himself by becoming a superhero. In the comics, neither of them had any involvement in Plastic Man's origin. |
| 480 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: In "Cry Freedom Fighters!", he jumps at the chance to join the patriotic super-team, even though he himself is not very patriotic. |
| 481 | -->'''Plas:''' C'mon, Bats, no one's ever wanted me to be a part of their team. Even the League threw me out. |
| 482 | * AntiHero: Believes strongly in morality and justice, but is still sometimes distracted by his craving for money. |
| 483 | * TheAtoner: He wants to make up for his life of crime by fighting other ne'er-do-wells. |
| 484 | %%* AudibleGleam |
| 485 | * BigEater: Has one of these moments in the episode Terror on Dinosaur Island when he manages to effortlessly swallow tons of gold bars and coins and use said gold bars and coins to then fire them at Grodd's goons. |
| 486 | * ButtMonkey: He spends the entirety of the Owlman episode being humiliated, either by Batman or circumstances. |
| 487 | * ChivalrousPervert: He has a wife and a child, but that doesn't stop him from regularly hitting on the superheroines he meets. The chivalry shows when Catwoman expresses her interest in him, to which he replies "Tempting. But I'm really more of a dog person". |
| 488 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Though it's not portrayed in a badass way, he actually comes the closest to catching [[spoiler: the real]] Batman in "Game Over for Owlman!" out of everyone. |
| 489 | * DeadpanSnarker: Only in the episode "Night of the Batmen" when he snarkily calls Shazam Bat Elvis. |
| 490 | * DistractedByTheSexy: Happens with Fire, Phantom Lady, and Catwoman in the episodes "Terror on Dinosaur Island", "Cry Freedom Fighters", and "Night of the Batmen" respectively. Catwoman however did not return his affections and repeatedly swung her whip at him out of anger. |
| 491 | * TheFool: Who is most likely ObfuscatingStupidity. |
| 492 | * FreakLabAccident: A fall into a vat of chemicals gave him his stretching abilities. |
| 493 | * FunPersonified: Is much more light-hearted than the other heroes and has a jokester personality. |
| 494 | * GoodCounterpart: To the Joker. He gained his powers from being thrown into chemicals during a heist that Batman foiled, and Batman assumed full responsibility for his rehabilitation, which Plastic Man suspects was out of guilt for the whole incident. |
| 495 | * {{Greed}}: His main sin. Even after becoming a hero, he still hasn’t completely dropped it. |
| 496 | * HeelFaceTurn: After Batman saved him from his life of crime, he tries to go cold turkey and struggles with it. |
| 497 | * HenpeckedHusband: Seen in "Long Arm of the Law!". Apparently, his wife doesn't take his crime fighting very seriously and can rule him out of it, for example in favor of taking their baby to a museum, though her attitude is somewhat justified by how ineffectual and irresponsible Plas can be. |
| 498 | * HeroWithAnFInGood: Due to his criminal background, it takes some time for Batman to trust him. He also makes a lot of mistakes and his flaws mean that not many heroes actually like him. However, he's [[CharacterDevelopment working on it]]. |
| 499 | * HeroesLoveDogs: Plastic Man is a well-meaning superhero and gets along well with his family's dachshund. |
| 500 | * KleptomaniacHero: His attention is often dragged away from the original purpose and shifted to riches when there are some involved. |
| 501 | * LovedINotHonorMore: The episode "Long Arm of the Law!" incorporates nearly all of the tropes associated with this, including the HeroicSacrifice. Different in that in this case Plas is sympathized with rather than the woman in such a situation and Ramona all but supports Plas in his actions. |
| 502 | * MoneyFetish: This guy ''loooves'' money. He couldn’t resist when he’s in a room full of jewelry. |
| 503 | * MrViceGuy: Often swayed by temptations, most prominently the desire for wealth, but he has also been shown to [[EyePop react]] [[SomethingElseAlsoRises appropriately]] and flirt with attractive superheroines, despite being married with a child. |
| 504 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Has a tendency to touch and grab other people a little too much. |
| 505 | * PersonalityPowers: As non-serious and wacky as Plas himself is. |
| 506 | * RubberMan: He has stretching powers. |
| 507 | * SadClown: Some of this is visible in most of his episodes, "Cry Freedom Fighters!" especially, but it's not excessively elaborated on. |
| 508 | * {{Sidekick}}: Woozy Winks is his sidekick. |
| 509 | * VoluntaryShapeshifter: He often uses his stretching powers to take on different forms. |
| 510 | * WingdingEyes: His eyes turn into dollar signs when he sees opportunities to get rich. |

| 534 | John Ulthoon lives in a suburban neighborhood, wears his slippers and robe when picking up the morning paper, and has a respectable job as the [[AdventurerArchaeologist Professor of Archaeology]] at the local community college. He's also a robot. His suburban veneer, of course, is a cover for his hero alter ego as ComicBook/RedTornado.

Although he's become a successful crime-fighter in his own right, Dick Grayson still chafes at the memory of taking orders from Batman, and will take any opportunity to prove himself an equal to his old mentor. |
| 557 | [[hardline]] |
| 558 | |
| 559 | * BatSignal |
| 560 | * CompositeCharacter: This Robin is a composite of the modern and old Earth-Two Robins (See MythologyGag below). In terms of attitude, he also takes on some of Jason Todd's more hot-blooded traits, rather than Dick's genial personality. |
| 561 | * DatingCatwoman: Averted. While he has a crush on Talia al Ghul, [[CasanovaWannabe she doesn't reciprocate ''at all'']]. |
| 562 | * HeadbuttingHeroes: With Batman. And Aqualad. And Speedy. |
| 563 | * HeavyMetalUmlaut: The city of Blüdhaven. |
| 564 | * TheLeader: When he teams up with the various other Robins, he immediately falls into this role, being the oldest and most experienced. |
| 565 | * LegacyCharacter: Takes on the mantle of Batman after Bruce retires following the apparent death of the Joker and his marriage to Selina Kyle in the what-if story "The Knights of Tomorrow!" |
| 566 | * MythologyGag: While his personality and the setting of his episode (in Blüdhaven) are based on Dick Grayson as Nightwing in the main DCU continuity, his costume and unchanged superhero identity are references to the [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] Earth-Two version of the character, who never outgrew his role as Robin... at least until he ''does'' take up the Nightwing identity (and original high-collared costume!) at the end of "Sidekicks Assemble!". |
| 567 | * OpinionFlipFlop: He initially snubbed the idea of all the sidekicks teaming up. Then he got a taste of leadership and decided it was a great idea. |
| 568 | * TheResenter: Robin isn't too happy with his mentor treating him like he's still the Boy Wonder, even when he's an adult and protecting Bludhaven. Thankfully, this lets up when he becomes Nightwing. |
| 569 | * {{Sidekick}}: The quintessential example, though since his appearances in the show deal with him growing out of his mentor's shadow, his collaborations with Batman are treated more like even-keeled superhero team-ups. |
| 570 | * SidekickGraduationsStick: When he becomes Nightwing in "Sidekicks Assemble!" and Batman in "The Knights of Tomorrow!". |

| 586 | * GoodOldFisticuffs: Wildcat's signature style |
| 587 | * GrumpyOldMan: He’s old, with a grouchy demeanor. |
| 588 | * MadeOfIron: Justified, since he's a former boxing champion. Ted Grant knows how to take a punch, or several. Part of his plan to defeat Slug involves provoking the guy into beating the crap out of him. |
| 589 | * {{Mentor|s}}: He's established in his first appearance as the guy who taught Batman to box. "The Golden Age of Justice!" shows that he and the other Justice Society members actively trained Batman in other ways, as well as Black Canary. |
| 590 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: Tells the Outsiders as much, he used to be an outcast like them. |

| 708 | ---- |
| 709 | * AdaptationExpansion: Considering that virtually nothing was explained about Tlano in his original comic appearance, this was inevitable. His Clark Kent-like secret identity and supporting cast were entirely constructed for the show. |
| 710 | * AdaptationOriginConnection: {{Subverted}}. In the original comic story, the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh was directly inspired by Bruce's adventures after observing Earth through an advanced telescope. He also intentionally summons Bruce to Zur-En-Arrh with the knowledge that an Earthling would be granted Superman-like powers. In the show, their meeting is treated as pure coincidence. |

He's unfailingly logical in his reaction to encountering (from his perspective) an alien doppelganger with the same costume and superhero identity. The two instantly get along, at least until the Batman of Earth starts catching the eye of Tlano's love interest. |

Thorne stole a weapons shipment but Linden found out. After she went to the authorities, Thorne killed Linden. Philip Sylvian, a childhood friend and botanist, combined Linden's genetic material with an experimental hybrid of animal and plant matter. The being known as Black Orchid was born. She used her newfound powers to fight crime as a super hero. |

| 741 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ted_kord.jpg]] |
| 742 | |
| 743 | Before Jaime Reyes, Ted Kord was the second man who assumed the name of Blue Beetle, becoming the major hero of Hub City. Unlike Jaime, Ted had no access to the power of the Blue Scarab, but on the other hand he could create useful gadgets based on the technology of the Scarab to combat crime. Considered by Batman and Booster Gold as their best friend, Kord perished in a mission which he prevented his megalomaniac uncle from dominating the world. Alongside Batman, Jaime considers Ted as a big influence to become a superhero himself. |
| 744 | ---- |
| 745 | * BadassNormal: Since he couldn't activate the Scarab, he relies on gadgets and martial arts like Batman does. |
| 746 | * BrainsAndBrawn: Since he couldn't use the Blue Scarab, he created gadgets based in the device to assist him against crimefighting. He is also the one that elaborates the plan to stop the Madniks after they were turned into overpowered energy-consuming monsters. |
| 747 | * CompositeCharacter: Takes the role his predecessor Dan Garrett served in his own origin story, [[spoiler:sacrificing his life to stop his uncle.]] |
| 748 | * DueToTheDead: His headquarters included a display honoring his mentor and predecessor, Dan Garrett. Ted in turn was honored for his sacrifice with a statue in Hub City Central Park. |
| 749 | * EvilUncle: [[spoiler:Jarvis.]] |
| 750 | * {{Expy}}: His heroic death has much more in common with that of ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's sidekick Bucky than his actual death in the comics. |
| 751 | * HeroicSacrifice: To foil his EvilUncle's plot, he takes a rocket off course and detonates it while still on it. |
| 752 | -->'''Jamie:''' Ted didn't make it?\ |
| 753 | '''Batman:''' I wasn't sure you were ready to know about this. Our work is dangerous and not all hero stories have happy endings. |
| 754 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Didn't realise his uncle was maybe ''not'' the best person to trust the Scarab to. |
| 755 | * LegacyCharacter: He's the second Blue Beetle. |
| 756 | * OddFriendship: Ted could be both a consummate professional on a case ''and'' a fun guy to party with, which made it easy for him to interact with either Batman or Booster Gold. The two heroes are surprised to learn that Ted's a mutual friend, given how different they themselves are from each other. He never bothered to mention it, though, as he fully expected them to not get along (which was the case for a while). |
| 757 | * PosthumousCharacter: Despite his being killed off way before the beginning of the story, he has a good amount of flashbacks in "The Fall of Blue Beetle!", and in "Menace of the Madniks!" he practically guest stars the episode along with Booster. |
| 758 | * RedOniBlueOni: He is ''literally'' the Blue Oni to Booster's Red Oni. |

| 765 | |
| 766 | Although he studied combat at the same remote Eastern temple as Batman, Bronze Tiger never finished his martial-arts training, walking out of the temple in frustration with their master. Nowadays he makes a living as a champion martial artist, with all the ego you'd expect from someone who hasn't lost a fight in years. |
| 767 | ---- |
| 768 | * AdaptationOriginConnection: "Return of the Fearsome Fangs!" has flashbacks that depict him training alongside Batman and the Terrible Trio prior to Bruce becoming Batman. While Ben Turner is himself a martial artist, there are no hints he ever trained with Bruce and the Terrible Trio aren't martial artists in the comics. Instead the comics version of Ben trained for years alongside ComicBook/RichardDragon, with the two becoming as close as brothers. |

| 786 | * AesopAmnesia: Even after he regained his powers, he's still arrogant and claims that anyone without powers is helpless. |

| 990 | * AdaptedOut: Perhaps owing to Superman and Wonder Woman being restricted from use at the time "Deep Cover for Batman!/Game Over for Owlman!" originally aired, they are not led by Lex Luthor's Earth-3 counterpart. |
| 991 | * ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: They aren't really addressed as Justice Underground, but are clearly this continuity's interpretation of the DC villains' heroic counterparts from the Crime Syndicate's universe. |

| 1034 | A janitor in a future-time, Buddy Blank was altered by the Global Peacekeeping Agency into OMAC, the One-Man Army Corps, a living weapon. Assisted by the Brother Eye satellite, OMAC acts on the GPA's behest. Neither Buddy or OMAC have any knowledge of the other. |
| 1035 | ---- |
| 1036 | * AdaptationalJerkass: The original OMAC from the comics was frequently a bit stiff, but he spent a lot of time ruminating on the consequences of his actions and was incredibly caring towards humanity. This version is more callous and brutal, and isn't particularly careful about breaking things in the name of peace - though he does mellow out towards the end. It's worth noting that the comics OMAC remembered that he was once Buddy Blank, which might be the reason for their differences. |
| 1037 | * DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Buddy, an unpowered human, manages to successfully tackle Equinox, the agent of the lords of order and chaos. |

| 1055 | ---- |
| 1056 | * AdaptationalModesty: Her bra shows less cleavage than the one she wore in the comics. |
| 1057 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Unlike her comic book counterpart which has become a Black Lantern in the comics at one point, Laethwen is a hero in this continuity. It helps that this incarnation of Laethwen doesn't die in the first place and that this continuity doesn't feature any Lantern Corps besides the Green Lanterns. |

| 1081 | On an alternate Earth, one man tried fighting against the Injustice Syndicate, led by the brutal Owlman. For his troubles, this man was tossed into a vat of chemicals at the ACE Chemicals plant, which turned his skin white and his hair green (... hold on a second, that sounds ''familiar''...) |

| 1085 | * CompositeCharacter: Of the original Red Hood (who in some continuities is the Joker before he became the Joker) and the Jokester (the Joker's heroic Earth-3 counterpart). |

| 1087 | * GadgeteerGenius: He managed to build the Phase Oscillator, a device that allowed interdimensional travel. |
| 1088 | * GoodCounterpart: For the Joker. The chemical bath that drove his counterpart insane didn't work on the Red Hood, though Silver Cyclone describes his psyche as still being "bent" if not broken. |
| 1089 | * RageAgainstTheReflection: After being disfigured by the chemical dip, Red Hood spends some time staring into a mirror and begins to chuckle ominously before regaining his composure and throwing his chair through the mirror, symbolically stating he wouldn't let his predicament stop him from being a hero. |
| 1090 | * SharpDressedMan: He goes into battle in a tuxedo. |

| 1119 | * AdaptationalJerkass: Moreso than most versions of the character, this Holmes is openly mean towards Watson rather than just condescending, and he even mocks him for being sceptical of the episode's supernatural happenings, something that the original Holmes would commend. |
| 1120 | * BadassLongcoat: OK, so it's technically an ''Inverness'' coat. |

| 1273 | |
| 1274 | A "what-if" character in this series, Damian would be the son of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle (instead of Talia al Ghul like in the comics). After his parents are murdered, he first takes up the Robin identity to assist Dick Grayson (the new Batman). He eventually becomes Batman himself once the timeline reaches the approximate era of ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns'', fighting Creator/FrankMiller's mutant gang. Has a son of his own, who looks a whole lot like Carrie Kelley and becomes Robin as well. |
| 1275 | ---- |
| 1276 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Most, meaning all but this incarnation, depictions of Damian portray him as a moody, violent child raised by the League of Assassins, as his mother was Talia al Ghul. Here, Damian is not only the child of a married Batman and Catwoman, he's reluctant to follow his father's footsteps but otherwise shares his desire to help others. |
| 1277 | * AlternateUniverse: He lives in one. |
| 1278 | * CompositeCharacter: Of just about every known or potential offspring of Bruce Wayne: |
| 1279 | ** Has the name and general appearance of Damian Wayne, the most recent Robin, Batman's Modern Age son with Talia al Ghul. |
| 1280 | ** Has the parentage and motivation of Helena Wayne, the Huntress, Earth-2's Batman's Bronze Age daughter with Catwoman. |
| 1281 | ** Has the basic conceit of Bruce Wayne, Jr., "Robin II," the Silver Age imaginary son of Batman and Batwoman Kathy Kane that Alfred wrote stories about. |
| 1282 | ** Has (briefly) the snappy [[TheSeventies Seventies]] wardrobe of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-Sons Batman, Jr.]] |
| 1283 | * EarnYourHappyEnding |
| 1284 | * ItsAllMyFault: Blames himself for his parents' death. |

| 1381 | * PuffOfLogic: In "Mitefall!". |
| 1382 | * RealityWarper: He can change whatever he wishes. |
| 1383 | * [[SingleTargetSexuality Single-Target Fandom]]: Bat-Mite is ''only'' interested in Batman. He doesn't care nearly as much for the associated characters such as Batgirl, as shown by his deflated reaction to her getting a new Creator/CartoonNetwork show. |
| 1384 | * SociopathicHero: He slyly admits with some glee that he voted for Jason Todd's death in the comics, in front of Batman no less. But since Jason Todd is only shown to exist in the show's questionably canon tie-in comics (and Batman isn't fourth wall aware), Batman doesn't register the implication. |
| 1385 | * TakeThatAudience: The show revamps him into an unflattering, self-aware caricature of various quarters of the Batman fandom, specifically the majority of modern fans who clamour for darker, more realistically grounded interpretations of the character. This is, of course, ironic coming from a ridiculous fifth-dimensional relic from the Silver Age who embodies everything he claims to dislike about the character's spotted history. |
| 1386 | * TheUnpronounceable: Bat-Mite's real name is Enyaw Ecurb (Bruce Wayne spelt backwards). |
