| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) | comment |
The Batman Adventures was the official Batman tie-in comic of Batman: The Animated Series. It started in October 1992, primarily written by Kelley Puckett and drawn by Ty Templeton and Mike Parobeck, and was re-launched several times to match the various retoolings of the TV series, becoming successively The Batman and Robin Adventures, Batman: Gotham Adventures, and finally Batman Adventures (with no "The"). This last version was cancelled in 2004 as part of the general deck-clearing as the DC Animated Universe drew to a close.In 2020, DC launched a digital-first comic, Batman: The Adventures Continue, set in the DCAU, drawn by Templeton and with writing handled by Batman: The Animated Series writer/producers Alan Burnett and Paul Dini.Being a printed work, it was much less hampered by censorship—for instance, Batman could actually be shown outright punching criminals, whereas the TV series preferred indirect attacks. And just as the animated series had introduced viewers to Harley Quinn, Lock-Up, and other original characters, The Batman Adventures gave us the thrillseeker Roxy Rocket and a trio of bumbling, lovable villains in Mastermind, Mr. Nice, and the Professor (or "Perfesser").There were also a number of special issues, such as an adaptation of SubZero; Bruce Timm and Paul Dini's Eisner Award-winning Mad Love, which detailed Harley Quinn's origin for the first time; and the miniseries The Lost Years, which depicts the three-year Time Skip between The Adventures of Batman & Robin and The New Batman Adventures. Mad Love was later adapted as an episode of The New Batman Adventures, as was another anthology issue that became "Holiday Knights".It is unrelated to DC's year-long official webcomic Batman: Shadow of Sin Tzu, a prequel to the Batman: The Animated Series video game spin-off Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu. | |

Dying Clue | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_103e0141 | comment |
Dying Clue: In The Batman Adventures #6, the dying man whispers "Rose..." What he wanted to say, but didn't have the energy, was "The rosewood grandfather clock conceals a secret passage, and that's how the killer got in and out." It would have been much less cryptic if he'd skipped the adjectives and just said "the clock". | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Batman & Robin Adventures #12 features the televised reunion concert of the Beat Brothers, who have a hit named "Love Is What We Need". The Scarecrow's attempts to co-opt the broadcast and the ensuing fight with Batman and Robin at the studio leads the band to cancel the concert outright out of fear for their lives. Issue 14 of the 2003 series involves a Gray Ghost movie being shot with the lead actor being a disguised Clayface using the alias Trystan Zale, a blatant nod to Christian Bale, who played Batman in The Dark Knight Trilogy (the first film of which, Batman Begins, would be released more than a year after this issue was published). | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Believe it or not. Though still leagues less violent than the regular comic book (especially at the time the series started, when The Dark Age of Comic Books was in full swing), the more relaxed standards of printed comics let the writers get away with much more than they would have in the cartoon. Some of the violence can actually be pretty cringe-inducing (like the Joker hitting a man with all his might using a mallet on the back of the head, which can kill a regular man instantly). Adult readers will be surprised. | |

Gordon's having none of it, and coldly tells him that if he wasn't a multiple murderer, he could have spent the last twelve years with her, and none of his victims got the chance to say goodbye to their loved ones. | |

Tim is shown to be a Batman fan who spies on him with binoculars, making him closer to his mainline comic incarnation. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: In Batman: Gotham Adventures #1, Joker is being kept in the Batcave. When Batman leaves Batgirl to keep an eye on him, Joker looks at her, and the red/shadowy art style of the panel almost certainly looks familiar. In Batman Adventures #10, Catwoman's closet is shown to have not only her BTAS and TNBA costumes, but the caped Silver Age version and goggled modern version as well. In Batman and Robin Adventures #6, a trashy tabloid publishes a story about Batman supposedly firing Robin. Several people dress up as Robin and try to convince Batman to hire them in his place, including one resembling Carrie from Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Straightman's backstory of someone who used to work for the law, but was brainwashed into being a particularly effective henchmen for criminals brings to mind The Flamingo. They're even both blonde, though Straightman is much, much Lighter and Softer compared to Flamingo. | |

Considering how Man-Bat came back in a later issue and made a cameo as Kirk Langstrom in "Chemistry" during TNBA, there's the remote possibility that Tygrus and Romulus also survived, though with no official confirmation of them being dead or alive either way. | |

Small Name, Big Ego | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_28a5213a | comment |
Small Name, Big Ego: The Penguin. In the very first issue of The Batman Adventures, the Penguin asks his henchmen to share a new word they have learned ("because being a criminal doesn't mean being dumb.") This patronizing attitude backfires on him because the Penguin doesn't know what a word means, so he lies to them and makes it up. One of henchmen dared to complain, with unfortunate results. In Batman Adventures, a subplot for issues 1 to 13 was the Penguin winning Gotham's election for Mayor... But Batman discovers that it was another revenge scheme by the Clock King to ruin (ex) Mayor Hill's life. The Penguin really believed that the people liked him and had elected him (he actually came in sixth). Then we have this resignation speech: | |

Emerging from the Shadows | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_2ab79021 | comment |
Emerging from the Shadows: The first two issues of The Batman Adventures have first Penguin, then Catwoman, receiving a two-way video screen which puts them in communication with a shadowy figure... who is revealed as the Joker when one of his minions turns on the lights. Each time, the Joker pulls a gun and shoots the offending minion, then resumes the conversation. | |

Placebo Effect: Or rather, nocebo effect. In one issue, the Scarecrow claims on television that he's infected all of Gotham with fear toxin. Mass panic ensues even though he only really gassed the people in the building he was broadcasting from, and doesn't stop until Batman gets his confession on camera. | |

He points out that the death trap won't leave identifiable remains, and persuades Harley that the Joker will never believe she really killed Batman unless he's there to see it himself — knowing that the Joker's ego will never stand for someone else killing Batman, and counting on the resulting argument to give him an opportunity to get free. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: In Mad Love, Harley manages to capture Batman himself with a Batman gambit, claiming to have seen the light and be willing to betray the Joker to the authorities, then setting up a fake retaliation attack from the Joker. Batman springs into action to protect her, which means he's (a) physically close and (b) distracted, which gives her an opportunity to get him with a sedative. How Batman gets out of Harley's trap in Mad Love is also an example, because it depends on him having precise knowledge of how Harley and the Joker can be manipulated by playing on their insecurities. | |

Morton's Fork | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_407d3e6d | comment |
Morton's Fork: One issue told the story exclusively from Commissioner Gordon's perspective as he went on a mission to rescue a cop named Miller, who had been captured by gangster Rupert Thorne while trying to infiltrate Thorne's gang. Batman shows up just in time (disguised as one of Thorne's goons, complete with a lifelike latex mask) and saves the day by beating the crud out of all of Thorne's assassins, of course, but the climax is more memorable for a brilliant psych-out on Gordon's part. Thorne and Gordon each grab a pistol, and Thorne tries to force Gordon to drop his gun by threatening to shoot Miller (who is still tied up). Gordon simply pretends to be a Cowboy Cop, telling Thorne that if he shoots Miller, Gordon will just retaliate by shooting him - so either way, whether Thorne tries to shoot Miller or Gordon, he'll get killed. Thorne falls for the trick and surrenders like a coward. | |

Their battle is stopped by Ra's al Ghul, who orders Sensei not to kill them because Ra's requires Batman for his plans, and when Batman refuses to leave without the Sensei, Ra's orders the Sensei to go with Batman. Sensei refuses, not wanting to spend his final years in prison. Ra's tells him that it's an order and he does not have a choice; not wishing to disobey his master, but at the same time not wanting to go to prison, the Sensei chooses a third option and quietly walks out one of the windows of his mountain hideaway, falling to his death, to everyone's shock. Ra's calls Sensei a fool, revealing that he had planned to let Batman take Sensei, but not keep him, and calls him an infuriating waste of a useful agent. | |

Characterization Marches On: When Francis D'Anjou, Nora Fries' new husband, first appeared in Batman: Gotham Adventures #5, he was a scientist that greatly respected Victor Fries, having read everything he ever wrote, was grateful when Victor rescued him because he was Nora's new husband, and even shows that he knows that Nora still loves Victor and was respectful of her feelings for him. In his next appearance in Batman: Gotham Adventures #51, Francis is now greatly resentful to Victor and is jealous of Nora for having feelings for him, going so far as to hide all the letters Victor has been sending Nora asking for her to see him one more time. In his final appearance in 'Batman Adventures'' #15, Francis goes as far as to frame Victor for attacking him by having a robot freeze him, hoping to convince Nora to see Victor as a monster. This backfires when Nora refuses to believe Victor was behind the attack, and Nightwing discovers the truth, leading to Francis being arrested and sent to prison, with Nora leaving him. | |

When Batman finally does catch up to him, Joker captures him and straps him to a rocket,then says, "I realize that being chained to an exploding rocket triggered by a golf ball is a silly way to die, but hey — that's comics!" | |

After Wesker is tempted to pick up Scarface, the climax of the story is a confrontation between the two puppets, fighting over his future. Unfortunately, Croaky is "killed" and Wesker reverts to being Scarface's meek flunky. | |

Downer Ending | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Kirk Langstrom/Man-Bat has gotten enough overrides in the comics, rerailments on TV, and newer overrides in later comics to make your head spin. In the comics, he was turned back into Man-Bat and seemingly died in an explosion with Romulus and Tygrus but a later issue revealed he was trapped as being Man-Bat despite surviving the explosion with the caveat that he'll live as Man-Bat for the rest of his life and never see Francine again. Later on, Kirk was lucky enough to have his tie-in Downer Ending reversed in "Gotham Adventures" issue 18 where his transformation is reversed, and in TNBA he had a cameo with Francine in "Chemistry" and got his happy ending back. Then years later by publication date, The Adventures Continue subjects him to yet another override during Season Three where it's revealed that he's gone back to being Man-Bat once more and that Francine considered her relationship with Kirk to be over for good. | |

Cutlery Escape Aid: In The Batman Adventures #14, the Ventriloquist tunnels his way out of Arkham Asylum with a spoon. Almost. His tunnel emerges a few feet short of the gate and Scarface berates him for his stupidity. | |

Drugged Lipstick | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_4f76831e | comment |
Possibly. In The Batman Adventures #23 Poison Ivy's seduced an Arkham orderly into repeatedly sneaking her potted plants, apparently using a special lip balm to keep him under her thrall. After she offers to "reward" him for his latest acquisition with another smooch, we smash cut to Batman suddenly being in front of Ivy saying this:"No thanks." Given the angle (we mostly see Bats mouth) and Pam's closed eyes & puckered lips it's likely he's thinking back to the kiss they shared not too long ago. Clearly, he isn't in a hurry for seconds. | |

Happy Ending Override | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_53c5f30e | comment |
Happy Ending Override: The tie-in comics did this for several characters in the series proper who either got a happy ending, didn't quite get a happy ending but still got enough of a Hope Spot that things can change for them down the line, or at least survived an episode with something of a Bitter Sweet Ending. Tygrus was implied to have died in an explosion following a three-way battle against Man-Bat and Anthony Romulus. Kirk Langstrom/Man-Bat has gotten enough overrides in the comics, rerailments on TV, and newer overrides in later comics to make your head spin. In the comics, he was turned back into Man-Bat and seemingly died in an explosion with Romulus and Tygrus but a later issue revealed he was trapped as being Man-Bat despite surviving the explosion with the caveat that he'll live as Man-Bat for the rest of his life and never see Francine again. Later on, Kirk was lucky enough to have his tie-in Downer Ending reversed in "Gotham Adventures" issue 18 where his transformation is reversed, and in TNBA he had a cameo with Francine in "Chemistry" and got his happy ending back. Then years later by publication date, The Adventures Continue subjects him to yet another override during Season Three where it's revealed that he's gone back to being Man-Bat once more and that Francine considered her relationship with Kirk to be over for good. The Joker ensured that Harvey would never be cured and destroyed his relationship with Grace, with Grace deciding that she and Harvey are permanently through. Sometimes, one tie-in installment can even override a previous installment, with Batman Adventures having Nora and Mr. Freeze reunite, with the ending showing that Nora will go to the ends of the earth to bring Victor back. The Adventures Continue later reveals that Nora died from her illness coming back. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Mr. Freeze, in any comic that involves Nora after she's been cured. First he rescues her new husband when Grant Walker kidnaps him because he thinks D'Anjeou makes her happy, and then, after being convinced that she will never return his affections ever again, moves away to the Arctic so she can live life without him bothering her. He seems to have reversed this stance by his final comic, targeting D'Anjeou to get her back, but he was framed. | |

And it still didn't help one bit. | |

Spared by the Adaptation: Subverted. In The Batman and Robin Adventures #15, Dick foils a murder attempt on the acrobat Boston Brand, who in the mainline comics was murdered during a show and becomes the ghostly superhero Deadman. However, Brand returns for another guest appearance in Gotham Adventures #6, when he does get killed and becomes Deadman. Like in the original story within the mainstream DC comics, Jason Todd takes a crowbar beating from The Joker in The Adventures Continue. Unlike the original story, he doesn't get killed by an ensuing explosion and returns without the need for any Lazarus Pit to resurrect him. | |

Pronouncing My Name for You: An issue had Commissioner Gordon seeking out a crime informant named "Wiesel". Gordon, like every other character this man had ever encountered, pronounces the name to rhyme with "weasel". He tries to tell Gordon that the accent is on the second syllable, but gets cut off. | |

Remember the New Guy? | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_77b03c0a | comment |
Remember the New Guy?: Throughout the DCAU's entire run, Jason Todd was never implied to have existed in the continuity and Tim Drake was always made out to be the second Robin, being a bit of a Composite Character with traits of both Jason and Comic Tim Drake, up to and including his own version of A Death In The Family in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. The Adventures Continue finally establishes Jason Todd as being the second Robin that Batman never talked about out of shame. | |

Decoy Damsel | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_8a931051 | comment |
Decoy Damsel: The Catwoman successfully used this ploy on Batman in her very first appearance in the comic (issue #2). At the behest of The Joker, she steals the Crown Jewels of London. Batman chases her across London's rooftops, finally cornering her atop the Big Ben clock tower. Catwoman, realizing that there's no easy way to escape, pretends to attack Batman but then "accidentally" falls off the tower ledge, hanging on for dear life from one of the clock's giant hands and begging Batman to save her. He does so... whereupon she shouts "SUCKER!" and clocks him in the jaw, knocking him off the ledge and nearly killing him. Batman survives - and saves the Crown Jewels in the bargain - but then he is forced to watch in frustration as Catwoman makes a clean getaway, in what would prove to be one of many, many Karma Houdinis for her. (This issue was also notable for showing the normally non-homicidal Catwoman nearing killing Batman, even if it was just part of a mean-spirited prank.) | |

Edible Bludgeon: Issue #5 of The Batman and Robin Adventures opens with the Joker breaking out of Arkham and trying to club a henchman to death with a bunch of bananas because he welshed on a trivial bet over the World Series they had made before Joker was arrested. Joker eventually regrets this decision - not out of any moral concern, mind you, just the fact that bananas aren't sturdy enough to make an effective truncheon. When he tries to kill Riddler at the end of the issue, he uses plantains instead. | |

Revenge: Played with in the story Fear Itself, where Joe Chill is obsessed with the deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne, because by the time he realized who he'd killed, the boy that he spared had become an "untouchable millionaire", with Chill spending the rest of his life living in utter terror of someone as rich and powerful as Bruce Wayne finally remembering his face and taking vengeance on Chill for killing the Waynes, to the point where Chill starts hallucinating Bruce Wayne appearing everywhere. Ultimately, when Batman is unmasked while trying to rescue the dangling-from-a-balcony-railing Chill, the latter freaks out and falls to his death, believing that Bruce is a hallucination. Bruce is left utterly baffled as to what just happened, as he hadn't recognized Chill nor tied him to the Wayne murders. | |

The Riddler then goes from despair to elation — he won, capture and reincarceration notwithstanding. The Riddler at the end of Gotham Adventures #11. After breaking out of Arkham, he's decided to change the game a little and spend the issue giving Batman clues to capture other criminals, without committing any of the crimes himself. He's devastated when Batman and Nightwing find his secret hideout and he realizes that through his other riddles he's subconsciously given them clues as to where he is. At first he gets angry, then he just totally deflates and just looks broken: | |

Continuity Nod | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Numerous examples; it often feels like the comic has more continuity than the animated series. For example, in Gotham Adventures #5, Batgirl hurts her leg. In the next issue, which details the origin of Deadman, Barbara is shown with crutches and bandages on her leg. The next issue mentions the murder case of Boston Brand (Deadman). Possibly. In The Batman Adventures #23 Poison Ivy's seduced an Arkham orderly into repeatedly sneaking her potted plants, apparently using a special lip balm to keep him under her thrall. After she offers to "reward" him for his latest acquisition with another smooch, we smash cut to Batman suddenly being in front of Ivy saying this:"No thanks." Given the angle (we mostly see Bats mouth) and Pam's closed eyes & puckered lips it's likely he's thinking back to the kiss they shared not too long ago. Clearly, he isn't in a hurry for seconds. | |

Adaptation Dye-Job | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_a4414a05 | comment |
Adaptation Dye-Job: For some reason, in the first two-thirds of the Gotham Adventures series, the redesigned Joker tends to be depicted with blue skin rather than his normal white. This is corrected for the final third of the series' run, however. | |

Marrying the Mark | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_a4d189fc | comment |
Marrying the Mark: In issue #16, The Joker starts reciprocating Harley Quinn's affections, and even proposes to her just after she receives a letter informing her she's inherited a fortune. The twist is that the letter is a fake, which Harley sent herself; she's smart enough to realise it will cause the Joker to marry and murder her, but mad enough to believe that if she reveals the truth once they're married, he'll have no reason to murder her and they'll live happily ever after. | |

Joker Immunity | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_a6cbef9a | comment |
Joker Immunity: Deconstructed in "Laughter After Midnight", a story by Paul Dini in The Batman Adventures Annual #1. It begins with the Joker falling out of a police blimp after a climactic fight with Batman. First, he survives by falling into a park's lake (and even says "Don't worry, I'm all right"). Understandably angry that his archenemy threw him from a blimp, he begins a massacre of Gotham's midnight denizens while buying donuts and a paper. He asks Harley to pick him up, but the police are with her. Then a Red Shirt patrolman tries to arrest him and the Joker steals his patrol car. The comic ends in an eerie scene with the Joker trying to get home. | |

Redemption Failure | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_a8bfbd9a | comment |
Redemption Failure: The Central Theme for first annual, with four stories: "Going Straight": Framing Device where Batman investigates Roxy Rocket, a criminal escape artist that Batman was sure was reformed, but who seems to have come back to crime. Roxy claims to be framed and demands to Clear My Name. "Puppet Show": The Ventriloquist finds work as a puppeteer in a kid's show and even has Croaky, a frog puppet who supports and encourages him to get straight, but a White-Dwarf Starlet Depraved Kids' Show Host knows about his past, and tries to tempt him. "24 Hours": A Day in the Life of Harley Quinn, the day she is released from Arkham and wants to go straight right until she meets the Joker again. Only two pages long, maybe a Poorly Disguised Pilot for "Harley's Holiday". "Study Hall": After subjecting himself to an And Then What?, Scarecrow escapes Arkham to become a teacher in an university, but when a Jerk Jock rapes his favorite student, Crane will become the ultimate Sadist Teacher. Interestingly enough, these four stories are capped off with a 10-page Joker-centric Black Comedy that seems to be there solely to remind us that, at the end of the day, some of Batman's enemies are just plain assholes. | |

For the Evulz: In one issue Harvey Dent, the criminal Two-Face, has reformed and is starting a romance with his lawyer Grace Lamont. Joker hints to Harvey that Lamont is dating Harvey's friend Bruce Wayne, and is just seeing Harvey out of pity. Then he gets his assistant Harley Quinn to leak to a newspaper that Lamont is planning to marry Bruce, and delivers the newspaper to Harvey. One breakdown, jailbreak, attempted murder, and broken heart later, Batman asks the Joker why he caused such a horrible disaster. He said he did it because it was Tuesday. | |

Super-Power Meltdown | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_af1894f1 | comment |
Superpower Meltdown: At the outset of Batman Adventures, Poison Ivy is shown to be becoming more and more plantlike when a stab wound is shown to do her no harm. In her penultimate issue her hair has been replaced by red vines, and she's gained the ability to shoot thorns from all over her skin. In her last issue, she's covered in buds and flowers and can no longer live without sunlight, and dies during the night. However, it's also revealed that she isn't Pamela Isley at all; see Actually a Doombot. | |

Plant Person | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_af19229b | comment |
Plant Person: As in the show, Poison Ivy starts out as a plant-themed but firmly human villain, but over time gains direct control over plants in her surroundings. The comic eventually takes it even further; in Batman Adventures she can basically ignore a stab wound much like a plant, bleeds green, and can generate and shoot out thorns. Near the end of the comic it's revealed that the Ivy in the The New Batman Adventures era is actually a plant-based clone with Pamela Isley's memories, and she manages to seek out the real, still human Isley only to die on her doorstep. | |

Ra's even lampshaded this fact in the second of the two issues with "Is she not her father's daughter?" | |

Tracking him down to the League of Assassins headquarters in Tibet, they battle with him. The battle is stopped by Ra's al Ghul, who orders Sensei not to kill them. When Batman refuses to leave without the Sensei, Ra's orders the Sensei to go with Batman. Neither wishing to get in the way of Ra's plans nor to spend the rest of his days in prison, the Sensei chooses a third option and quietly walks out one of the windows of his mountain hideaway, falling to his death. Ra's reveals that while he was going to let Batman and Batgirl take him, he was not going to let them keep him. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In The Batman Adventures #5, two men appear in the Scarecrow's nightmare who look remarkably like Cain and Abel. The Batman Adventures #6 is a murder mystery with shout-outs to The Third Man, Citizen Kane, and the works of Alfred Hitchcock, who makes a Creator Cameo receiving a slap. In The Batman Adventures #12, there's a building named Moulton Towers. Moulton is the middle name of William Moulton Marston, who created Wonder Woman - very apropos for the series' first Girl's Night Out Episode issue. At a costume party in the same issue, there are a group of girls who look like characters created by Los Bros Hernandez. In The Batman Adventures Annual #2, the mystical invocation near the beginning is the Charm of Making from Excalibur. The mystical invocation near the end is entirely sdrawkcab, and includes backwards versions of "Kirby is the greatest" (the entire issue is a homage to Jack Kirby), "Sometimes my arms turn back", "I buried Paul", and, for some reason, a line from the song "Satin Doll". In Gotham Adventures #1, as the Joker attempts to escape Batgirl's custody, he remarks, "I could've gotten out of [these handcuffs] any time I wanted; I just had to wait until it was funny!" In Gotham Adventures #4, we see Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer stealing a car. In Gotham Adventures #10, Harley Quinn checks into a hotel under the pseudonym Elise Archer. Also, one of the other writers hiding out there is "Mr. Rushdie." An issue of Gotham Adventures features ice-9, although it's never actually named. "Study Hall", a Scarecrow-centric story, contains multiple further references to Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". The Jerk Jock is named Bromley after Brom Bones, and Jonathan Crane's alias as an English professor is Irving Diedrich. Gotham Adventures #35 has Bruce Wayne as the sole holdout on a jury trying to convince the others that the defendant is... Guilty (he knows because he's Batman). At the end of the issue, he has a conversation outside the courthouse with a fellow juror — who, like Juror #9 in Twelve Angry Men, is an elderly man. Mad Love: One of Gotham's streets is named Sprang Terrace, in homage to pioneering Batman artist Dick Sprang. In Harley's Imagine Spot of getting married to the Joker, the celebrant looks a lot like Jerry Lewis and uses one of his catchphrases. In Harley's Imagine Spot where she and the Joker have children, the evicerated and otherwise murderized toys littering the scene include Buster and Babs Bunny (no relation) and Barney. The Perfesser's moniker is a nod to Shoe, a favorite of Dennis O'Neil, the editor he's based on. References to Looney Tunes, Tiny Toon Adventures, and Pinky and the Brain — all Warner Bros. properties, like Batman and DC — turn up here and there. When the Penguin steps down as Gotham's mayor, in his speech he paraphrases a quote from Richard Nixon: "You won't have [Cobblepot] to kick around anymore." | |

The Mentally Disturbed | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_c866231c | comment |
The Mentally Disturbed: One strength these comics have over the animated series is their tendency to portray the various Arkham inmates as people who are sick and have the possibility of rehabilitation. While the cartoon did apply this to a few of the rogues (most notably Harvey Dent, Victor Fries, and Harleen Quinzel), the rest were for the most part portrayed as simply evil. | |

Hypocrite: In the TV show, Poison Ivy advocates the causes of environmentalism and feminism, but those are only excuses to display her real sadistic urges of control and manipulation. Then we have a refreshing inversion at "Batman and Robin Adventures" # 24, "Touch of Death", where Poison Ivy rescues a Brazilian boy who is a Poisonous Person from a Government Conspiracy and brings him back to his home. She claims it is because she wants to manipulate the boy, sincerely unaware that she Wouldn't Hurt a Child, not even claiming Even Evil Has Standards nor I Was Just Passing Through. | |

However, she is a cop in her day job and is willing to tote a gun when she and Batman infiltrate the base of the Sensei in Gotham Adventures #9, which Batman isn't happy about and asks her to get rid of it, feeling that she does not need it and that using it will be a mistake. It turns out that Batman was right; when Batgirl tries to use it to threaten Sensei, he saw that she was unwilling to use it to seriously hurt him if there was a chance to kill him. After calling out Batgirl for bring a weapon she was unwilling to use, he disarms her and throws the gun away. | |

Continuity Snarl | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: The comic is supposedly canon to the DC Animated Universe, but there are a number of continuity issues, usually resulting from the comic making a call on something that hadn't appeared in the TV series yet, and the TV series subsequently deciding to go a different direction. And even The Adventures Continue, which takes place years after the DCAU had its television run, has a few moments that don't quite gel with what's portrayed on the shows. Issue #4-5 of The Batman Adventures makes The Scarecrow way more sympathetic than he ever was in the actual show, using his Curse of Babel plot not just for extortion, but to remind Gotham to not take education and literacy for granted (his methodology is also out of the ordinary; later writers would probably have given such a scheme to the Mad Hatter). Issue #7 does the same to Killer Croc. Cartoon depiction: a cold-blooded sociopath already guilty of several murders before Batman ever heard of him. Comic depiction: a morally-ambiguous underground wrestler whom Batman lets off with a warning. It's a small thing, but Scarface displays his replacing-all-b's-with-g's Character Tic from the regular comics in his appearance in Issue #14. He explains it's due to the gash on his cheek, but he never had a problem saying 'bat' in the show despite that wound also being present there. Then again, he's just a ventriloquist's dummy. The Batman Adventures #25 features guest appearances from mullet Superman and beard-and-full-head-of-hair Lex Luthor, with Batman and Superman already having a professional relationship that wasn't exactly warm but seemed perfectly fine. While the character designs are obviously meant to reflect the state of affairs in the main comics at the time, Superman: The Animated Series went with the more iconic clean-cut Superman and Bald of Evil Luthor. Meanwhile, Batman and Superman meet for the first time in World's Finest, where they develop a strained relationship. The Batman & Robin Adventures #16 features Thomas Blake (Catman), a muscular blond man and a former big-game hunter who admires Catwoman from afar and decides to become a copycat criminal. Blake would later appear in The New Batman Adventures without the Catman identity and with a completely different character design (more slender, with dark hair) and background (the leader of a cat cult). The Batman & Robin Adventures #19 features the origin of Helena Bertinelli, the Huntress: her family is killed by agents from five other mafia families during her adulthood; Helena decides to don a costume to take down the Bertinelli family's various criminal operations. The origin shown when the Huntress debuts in Justice League Unlimited has the Bertinellis killed during Helena's childhood on the orders of one man, Steven Mandragora, and her main goal upon becoming the Huntress is to kill Mandragora. Averted with the Actually a Doombot reveal about Poison Ivy and the appearances of the still-human Ivy working with a still-human Alec Holland, along with Harley Quinn's vow to kill Ivy for betrayals, all near the end of Batman Adventures (2003). As some years pass until what happens in Batman and Harley Quinn, by then the real Ivy's been physically changed and Holland's become Swamp Thing, and Ivy seems to have patched things up with Quinn for the most part. Batman repeatedly scoffs at the existence of aliens, UFOs, magic, ghosts, and the like, even though he's dealt with Superman, Brainiac, Etrigan, Klarion the witch-boy, etc. Contrast the Batman Beyond episode "Revenant", where he tells Terry that he's seen too many paranormal phenomena to dismiss the possibility out of hand (but doubts that this particular case involves a ghost). The Adventures Continue #9 gives us the introduction of Jason Todd as the second Robin in the middle of a fight between Batman and Firefly. What makes this problematic is that Firefly didn't become a supervillain until TNBA, when Tim Drake was already Robin. Unless it was another guy not named Garfield Lynns in a prototype costume of some sort, good luck making sense of this continuity-wise, because the only possible way it can make sense is if one believes the events of "Torch Song" have been ret-conned by this series as having happened between "Old Wounds" and "Sins of the Father", since Tim Drake and Dick Grayson are absent in the episode. Issue #3 in Season Two of The Adventures Continue gives us a moment that's practically impossible to reconcile with the DCAU proper. We see the return of Jimmy "The Jazzman" Peake and Batgirl finally meets Huntress, with there being a mention of how Huntress was in the Justice League. Then we're introduced to Helena's backstory which showed her family being gunned down while Helena escaped and how Jazzman played a role in the killing by playing the piano while the Bertinelli family was murdered. Evidently, the JLU episode "Double Date" where Helena wasn't shown with a brother, Steven Mandragora killed Helena's parents with his bare hands involving no firearms, and Jazzman had no direct or in-direct involvement whatsoever in the murder (much less play a piano tune to the killing) should be completely ignored. The final arc of Season Three ends with Ra's al Ghul apparently dying after his last attempt to rejuvenate himself with the Lazarus pits, which contradicts Ra's managing to survive well into the future before continuing to cheat death by stealing his daughter Talia's body in the Batman Beyond episode "Out of the Past". And considering the story didn't play out exactly like what little we knew of the "Near Apocalypse of '09" where the entire world was put in danger with seemingly greater stakes than population sterilizing grain, reconciling Ra's al Ghul's death here with the DCAU proper becomes that much more difficult. | |

Flanderization | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: When the Mastermind, Mr. Nice, and the Professor first appeared, they were depicted as normal (well, normal for Gotham, anyway) criminals hatching fairly routine criminal plots (smuggling, hijacking, and burglary, respectively). But in future issues their traits were wildly exaggerated: Mastermind's ego mounted to godlike proportions; Mr. Nice went from someone who was merely Badass Normal to "killing machine able to fight off entire armies of soldiers" (and in fact the writers had to lampshade this and come up with a pseudo-scientific explanation for it after a reader pointed out how ridiculous it was in the letters column); and the Professor, formerly just a smug intellectual wannabe, became almost literally a walking encyclopedia who knew everything about everything. Their crime capers (they teamed up twice) also got increasingly outlandish and even cartoonish, until they were behaving more like characters in a 1960s Disney family comedy than like Batman villains. | |

After Francis tries to frame Victor for sending a robot to attack him, Batman and Batgirl attempt to apprehend Victor, only for his head falls into the Arctic Ocean during the battle.

I Never Got Any Letters | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_ea51fa45 | comment |
I Never Got Any Letters: According to The New Batman Adventures episode "Cold Comfort," after Nora Fries was cured of her terminal illness, she waited for her missing and presumed dead husband Victor Fries for some time before she gave up waiting, marrying her doctor Francis D'Anjou and leaving Gotham for good. This was expanded in Batman: Gotham Adventures #51 and Batman Adventures #15. Batman: Gotham Adventures #51 shows that Mr. Freeze has been sending letters to Nora asking to see her one more time, but Francis has been hiding all the letters from Nora. Then Nora visits Victor Fries in Arkham Asylum and tells him that she still loves him and wants to be together with him. Nora breaks Victor out, and they work on a formula to restore him to normal. After a battle with Batman and Batgirl, it is revealed that Nora is really Clayface, who is manipulating him to make a cure for his condition; furious at the deceit, Victor Fries destroys the formula and leaves. Mr. Freeze figures that Nora couldn't possibly love him anymore; he wrote one more letter to her to say goodbye and that she's made the right choice by moving on, escaping Gotham for a life in the Arctic. The issue ends with Nora Fries arriving at Arkham Asylum asking for Victor Fries with a letter he sends her in her hand. Batman Adventures #15 revealed that Nora discovers that her new husband, Francis D'Anjou, was hiding the letters Victor was sending her and is angry at him, but Francis is attacked by a robot that freezes him. Refusing to believe that it was Victor, Nora refuses to believe that Victor was behind the attack and leaves for the Arctic to find him. Victor confirms that he was not responsible and he would never hurt Francis because she loves him. Nora believes him, and it is revealed that Francis, jealous of Nora's feelings for Victor, frames him for attacking him by having a robot freeze him, hoping to convince her to see Victor as a monster. Unfortunately, Victor is lost after a battle with Batman and Batgirl; Nora visits Francis D'Anjou in prison and leaves him. After talking with Victor's former assistant Koonak, Nora returns to the Arctic, hoping to find Victor's head. | |

Til Murder Do Us Part | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_ed371675 | comment |
Til Murder Do Us Part: Played with in Batman Adventures #16, where the Joker starts reciprocating Harley Quinn's affections, and even proposes to her — just after she receives a letter informing her she's inherited a fortune. The twist is that the letter is a fake, which Harley sent herself; she realises it will cause the Joker to marry and murder her, but crazy enough to believe that if she reveals the truth once they're married, he'll have no reason to murder her and they'll live happily ever after. Amazingly, she's right. The Joker finds the whole deception romantic and agrees to marry her anyway. About as close as they ever get to Unholy Matrimony. | |

Never Found the Body: Invoked by Batman in Mad Love, when he points out that the deathtrap won't leave identifiable remains and suggests that nobody will ever believe that Harley really did kill the Batman. Played straight at the end of Mad Love, after the Joker falls off a roof into a factory chimney. | |

Complexity Addiction | |
| The Batman Adventures (Comic Book) / int_f6b698ac | comment |
Complexity Addiction: The Joker's tendency to this is lampshaded in Mad Love, with him reacting angrily when Harley suggests skipping the elaborate deathtraps and just shooting Batman. At the end, after Harley manages to capture Batman by herself, the Joker comes close to letting Batman go just because he doesn't have a death trap ready that lives up to his artistic standards. Then he decides that having Batman at his mercy is an opportunity not to be passed up, and maybe he'll give this "just shoot Batman" idea a go after all. It doesn't work out well for him. | |

He later tells Robin that he never even told her he was going to do anything; she just assumed that he would go to the same extreme lengths she would to get what he wanted. | |

Canon Immigrant: Roxy Rocket started out in The Batman Adventures, graduated to the animated series, and then appeared in the original comics. A version of the Wonderland Gang appeared in Harley Quinn: Harley Loves Joker, a one-shot in the DCAU-comics continuity, and were brought back in The Adventures Continue. The Adventures Continue has many of these, bringing Jason Todd, Deathstroke, and Azrael over to DCAU continuity. Issue #16 has Harley and Ivy inviting a bunch of fellow Rogues to a Christmas party, and included among them are King Shark and Kite-Man. Season 2 brings in the Court of Owls. | |
