Red Herring Shirt: During Batman R.I.P., the "Bat-Radia" which the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh had turned out to have been more important than anyone thought. Previously in the arc, it was just thought as being another call back to the Silver Age. | |

Non-Indicative Title: Batman "dies" in Final Crisis, not Batman R.I.P., although the Club of Villains certainly think they killed him. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
| Batman R.I.P. (Comic Book) / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Batman R.I.P. includes a sequence where Through the Eyes of Madness, the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh is able to see the "grids" that makes up Gotham City and its streets which created Batman. In other words, Batman is seeing the comic panel grids that Gotham and his world exists within. | |

Through the Eyes of Madness | |
| Batman R.I.P. (Comic Book) / int_5d5cc3fd | comment |
Through the Eyes of Madness: The middle half of Batman R.I.P., which takes place from the perspective of "The Batman of Zurr-En-Arr", which appears to be Bruce's mind utterly snapping under the duress of his situation. This is actually somewhat of a subversion, as it's revealed that Bruce created this "Zurr-En-Arr" personality as a backup in the event that his normal personality becomes "corrupted" somehow. Upon seeing Jezebel in danger, the personality releases control back onto Bruce, who tries to save her. | |

Arc Words | |
| Batman R.I.P. (Comic Book) / int_7464705c | comment |
Arc Words: The sentence "Zur En Arrh" frequently shows up in graffiti form during the arcs leading up to Batman R.I.P. It's a trigger phrase designed by Simon Hurt to psychologically weaken and subdue Bruce. In the final issue of that arc, it's explained that the phrase is a corrupted form of "Zorro in Arkham", the last thing Thomas Wayne said to his son before being killed. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Batman R.I.P. (Comic Book) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Much of the later Batman R.I.P. arc is foreshadowed with with the Joker prose story, "The Clown at Midnight," as are some elements of the Batman and Robin arc. There was a portrait of Mordecai Wayne in Wayne Manor during Batman R.I.P., which was actually a portrait of an amnesiac and time-lost Bruce. At the end of Batman R.I.P., the Joker bets against the Black Glove and on Batman, even making an argument that he fits the membership criteria for the organization and killing one of the five members to free up a slot for himself. Much later in Batman and Robin, it's revealed that the Joker, as Oberon Sexton, is essentially playing a murderous game of dominoes against Hurt from the first issue. And killing the remaining Black Glove members, making him the only person Hurt can play against. In Batman R.I.P., Bruce notes that he was attracted to "the bad in" Jezebel Jet much as he was in women like Catwoman and Talia; this not only sets up Talia's motivation in Batman Incorporated, but also foreshadows the Retcon of Kathy Kane in the same series. | |

Luke, I Am Your Father | |
| Batman R.I.P. (Comic Book) / int_c83a589c | comment |
Luke, I Am Your Father: Doctor Hurt claims to be Thomas Wayne (Batman's father) at the conclusion of Batman R.I.P.. Bruce pretty much shrugs it off and even comes up with his own alternate theory. While Hurt himself is definitely not Bruce's father, him being an incarnation of Darkseid's Hyper-Adapter, aka the Bat-God Barbatos, had inadvertently and retroactively cemented Batman's legend all across time, thus by technicality Hurt is indeed the father of Batman. | |

Apophenia Plot | |
| Batman R.I.P. (Comic Book) / int_dd7cfe55 | comment |
Apophenia Plot: The big truth behind the Joker's newly adopted black and red color scheme is it's all a plan just to troll Batman into thinking there is a plan. After Batman spent the lead up and most of Batman R.I.P. trying to determine what Joker's really saying with the black and red, the Joker confesses to the Black Glove there never was a plan. Because Batman obsesses over everything the Joker does with the assumption there's a hidden meaning to his action, Joker thought it'd be funny to gaslight him into thinking that was the case here. | |

Buried Alive: Towards the end of Batman R.I.P. the Club of Villains bury Batman alive. Unusually for this trope, their plan is to dig him up just after air has run out, thus leaving him alive but brain-damaged. He gets out (he's the Goddamn Batman) and he is PISSED. | |
