The Daltons

Joe

Adaptational Intelligence: Joe is actually the cleverest of the brothers this time around, although marginally, instead of constantly bragging about being the smartest.
Dope Slap: When Joe doesn't act snarky, he delivers a lot of these to his brothers, mostly Averell, of course.
Death Glare: His default expression, tied with his Angrish state.
Enraged by Idiocy: The main reason why Joe gets often so worked up, with Averell especially.
Four-Temperament Ensemble: Choleric. He often acts as a strong-willed, cunning and charismatic leader of the group, however he tends to be the most conceited and the most prideful of the brothers, has a short temper and he is the easiest to set off.
Idiot Ball: While he became the official mastermind of the crew, Joe often tends to commit some ludicrous mistakes.
Insufferable Genius: Downplayed, while far from being an actual genius perse, Joe is the brains of the gang and can be rather condescending to those who are not as practical as him.
Shorter Means Smarter: Where the brothers degree of intelligence are inward proportional to their heights. Joe may still be the one who brags about being smarter than the others, but here actually shows to be slightly more competent than his brothers, although "slightly" is the keyword here.

Jack

Ascended Extra: At last, Jack escapes from his Out of Focus status and he's almost as fleshed-out as the antipodes of the group, Joe and Averell.
Bookworm: In his leisure he likes to read a big red novel, this may come off as a reference to the previous series he appeared in, in which he used to do the same thing.
Deadpan Snarker: While each member of the quartet is great at snarking at one another, Jack easily tops them all.
Disapproving Look: His expression whenever someone fails at doing something, especially if he's as much of a Smug Snake as Joe or William.
Four-Temperament Ensemble: Melancholic, the most introverted of the four and he can be very skeptical and distrustful, even to his brothers. However he can be quite mature and he is the overall second-in-command in the quartet's antics.
Jack of All Trades: Ironically, Jack. He may not be as smart as Joe, athletic as Averell and easygoing as William, but when it comes to making suspects, steering in the right direction and especially repairing vehicles, you can always count on him.
Only Sane Man: With William, the other rational member of the group, turned into a more lustful and immoral individual, Jack's solo role as the sensible one within the group, such as calling out the others' misbehaviour and, like the previous series, calling out Joe's flaws in his plans, feels a lot more justified.

William

Adaptational Dumbass: Downplayed, While William is still smarter than Averell, he is scarcely outdone in terms of intelligence by Joe and Jack, thus losing his The Smart Guy trait.
Adaptational Personality Change: Yet again with William. From a Generic Guy at first and a Book Smart then, he is now depicted as a Casanova.
Ascended Extra: Alongside Jack, William escapes from his Out of Focus status and he's almost as fleshed-out as the antipodes of the group, Joe and Averell.
The Casanova: William, more outgoing than previous iterations and often seen flirting with women in many opportunities.
Four-Temperament Ensemble: Phlegmatic, laid-back and indolent, but the most level-headed and the one who doesn't lose his cool, he can be quite affable with people too and seems to have a close bond to Jack (Melancholic).
The Slacker: Downplayed, William still contributes to Joe's plans, but he isn't above kicking off at times.

Averell

Butt-Monkey: All four of the Daltons, but unexpectedly Averell the most. Despite being a well-natured guy and thus not deserving it, he is the one who has to endure the most pain compared to his brothers, who do get a fair share of Amusing Injuries as well.
Cloudcuckoolander: The biggest one in this show. Like in the previous series, he is very eccentric and you don't know what he is going to do next, making him very unpredictable and insane.
Dumb Is Good: Averell is by far the dimmest of the brothers, he is the only one who is illiterate in the group (Even though his brothers Joe and William aren't much better at reading), he often mis-interprets things he's been told of, but, unlike his brothers, he's free from any malicious bone and he would often help others regardless of who they are.
Four-Temperament Ensemble: Sanguine, the most immature, gullible, impulsive and accident-prone of the brothers, who's often one or two footsteps ahead from reality and the butt of the others' jokes, but full of energy, kind-hearted and optimistic.
The Klutz: As usual, Averell's clumsiness can make him get himself and the others' in trouble and thwart unwittingly the Daltons' plans;
Spanner In Works: Displayed in a downplayed manner, or at least compared to the previous two series, as it happens every once in a while.
