Canon Foreigner: Calendar Man, Mother Grimm, and Sherlock Holmes are all introduced for the play as rediculously silly characters. Ironically, Sweet Tooth is a real one-off villain from the comic books that the creators didn't know about. | |

Not-So-Harmless Villain: No one respects Sweet Tooth in the beginning; Superman says dismissively that Batman chooses to let the guy live, and even the other rogues laugh at him. He kills Penguin's lackey to make a point, and shows no remorse for it. Then he targets Robin, despite the fact that Robin is a child, as a means to break Batman's spirit. | |

| Holy Musical B@man! (Theatre) / int_1ba8eb64 | comment |
Visual Pun: The bat-up dancers in "Dark, Sad, Lonely Knight". During "To Be a Man" Batman and Superman argue about whether sidekicks are lame or not, culminating in Batman saying "I've got one for you, right here!"... and proceeding to give Superman a "side-kick" in the leg. (Though it's technically more of a low round-house kick than a true side-kick...) | |

I Just Want to Have Friends Bruce. His eventual friendship with Robin is built on them being perfect for each other, but Superman and the other Super Friends take more effort to win over. Superman, too, has to work at fulfilling his longing for friendship. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Holy Musical B@man! (Theatre) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag Sweet Tooth's plot to place Robin's fate in the hands of Gotham by setting up a Facebook poll is reminiscent of how Jason Todd's death was decided by a call-in poll... only that Robin wasn't so lucky. I'm the goddamn Batman! Sweet Tooth captures Robin by having his sidekick Baby Candy pull a Wounded Gazelle Gambit, along with Robin hearing a damsel cry out. That was how Joker and Harley Quinn kidnapped Tim Drake in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. Superman being ordered to take down Batman by the U.S. government is taken from Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Sweet Tooth's henchmen Gob and Joe are take-offs of Rob and Don from TDKR. Green Lantern leaves early on in the plot because "Sinestro's starting his own Corps or something." There are quotes from The Dark Knight Trilogy including, "I won't kill you, that doesn't mean I have to save you", "This town has shown you that's full of people ready to believe in good". Also Alfred mentions that the Batcave was used to help runaway slaves, a mook who had a bomb in his stomach and was told by the Joker Expy that he'd make the pain go away, and one of the Gotham citizens has a "I believe in Harvey Dent" shirt. Superman finding out Batman's identity by following him home after their first meeting is a reversal of how Batman discovered Superman's secret identity in Superman: The Animated Series. Sweet Tooth's first scene, where he brutally stabs Chilly Willy with a lollipop stick in order to establish himself as a credible threat in front of the other villains, is modelled after the Heath Ledger Joker's infamous "pencil trick" scene in The Dark Knight. | |

Hurricane of Puns | |
| Holy Musical B@man! (Theatre) / int_2937826d | comment |
Hurricane of Puns Lampshaded, every villain makes puns based on their theme that would make the 60s show proud. Sweet Tooth takes this trope up to eleven. Robin loves to do this too, and Batman joins in after they team up. You could do a drinking game with it. Take a shot when a superhero doesn't make a pun; it'll save your liver than doing it the other way around. | |

Practically Joker | |
| Holy Musical B@man! (Theatre) / int_2bb6f196 | comment |
Practically Joker: Sweet Tooth is who Joker would be if he had a candy theme all the time and a truckful of puns under his belt. Like Joker, he abuses his girlfriend Candy for trying to be funnier than him, targets Robin for the crime of making Batman happy and giving the hero a weakness— a common theme in the Golden Age of Joker comics— and establishes his authority by casually killing people with candy. Superman scoffs that a man like that could be dangerous, as he did in the first DCAU crossover with Batman the Animated Series, only to be proven wrong. Note that unlike Joker, Sweet Tooth has one victory under his belt: convincing Batman to kill a villain for the crime of kidnapping and threatening Robin. | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
| Holy Musical B@man! (Theatre) / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Penguin isn't pleased when Sweet Tooth murders his penguin lackey to make a point, given it was a bird and loyal to him. While he does agree to serve Sweet Tooth along with the other villains, he kills himself with a Fruit Gusher before Batman and Robin can take him to jail, implying that he followed the guy more out of fear than out of actual loyalty. She does go along with the plan, but Poison Ivy looks briefly discomfited when Sweet Tooth gives an Evil Laugh about using Robin as bait for Batman, and a means to take him down, especially when he thanks her for the idea. (It makes sense if you read her comic history, and Ivy sometimes has a soft spot for kids, especially those who were abused.) | |

| Holy Musical B@man! (Theatre) / int_3496b29a | comment |
Heart Is an Awesome Power: Villainous example. The rogues laugh at Sweet Tooth storming their meeting and demanding to know why he wasn't invited, saying he's a cheap knockoff of the Joker. Then he kills Penguin's bird lackey with only a Tootsie Roll pop, causing a Mass "Oh, Crap!" and an Even Evil Has Standards moment from Penguin. When Sweet Tooth says he's their leader now, no one argues. | |

Cluster F-Bomb: 'To Be a Man'. Overall, the musical itself drops enough of these to wipe out a small country, especially when compared to other StarKid musicals. 'To Be a Man' wins because the first line of its chorus (that is often repeated) is "Fuck you, I'm gonna kick your ass!" | |

| Holy Musical B@man! (Theatre) / int_3dcc914f | comment |
Took a Level in Kindness: Bruce Wayne is an Idle Rich Jerkass, to put it mildly, at the beginning of the play. He blames all of Gotham's citizens for not saving his parents and says each of them has an inner criminal waiting to come out. By the end of Act One, he's smiling more and treating Dick, his first "real friend," as an equal and a partner. Gotham isn't exactly amused, because they like the Batdickery. | |

Becoming the Mask: Alfred tells Bruce that Lucius Fox is his real identity, and he only took on the "Alfred Pennyworth" persona to fulfill a life debt to Thomas Wayne. Even so, he seems to keep the "Alfred" accent and affect in all of his other personae, and taking care of Bruce really does seem to be his only goal in life. | |

The Conscience | |
| Holy Musical B@man! (Theatre) / int_4557702e | comment |
The Conscience: Robin becomes this in the climax of the musical. He gives Batman a What the Hell, Hero? for wanting to abandon Gotham City, and believing everyone voted for him to die. Robin is right; Gotham citizens weren't willing to condemn a child to death. | |

Screams Like a Little Girl | |
| Holy Musical B@man! (Theatre) / int_46e53efd | comment |
Screams Like a Little Girl: After Superman calls him a "butthead", Batman responds with a scream of rage. A drawn-out, incredibly high-pitched scream of rage that wraps around from being annoying to the most hilarious sound on Earth. This scream of rage, to be exact. | |

Always Save the Girl: Deconstructed. Batman, when forced to choose between saving the city or Robin, chooses his partner. Robin is grateful to be saved, but tells Batman now they need to rescue everyone. When Batman refuses, since Sweet Tooth said everyone voted for his partner to die, Robin gets mad. He pulls up the Facebook poll and reveals everyone chose to save him rather than themselves. This makes Batman suffer a Heel Realization that people can be good when the occasion calls for it. | |

She does go along with the plan, but Poison Ivy looks briefly discomfited when Sweet Tooth gives an Evil Laugh about using Robin as bait for Batman, and a means to take him down, especially when he thanks her for the idea. (It makes sense if you read her comic history, and Ivy sometimes has a soft spot for kids, especially those who were abused.) | |

Never Hurt an Innocent | |
| Holy Musical B@man! (Theatre) / int_82384b1 | comment |
Batman's creed is Never Hurt an Innocent in most of the comics, and he tries to bring villains alive. It's parodied that he punches everyone, civilians and villains alike, uses missiles on his plane and does have a body count. It's implied he kills Joker and definitely kills Sweet Tooth for attempting to murder Robin. | |

Promoted to Love Interest: Inverted. Catwoman, Vicki Vale, Chase Meridian and Rachel Dawes all show up but none of them have a romance, or even a scene, with Batman. Instead he's busy off having major Ho Yay. | |

There's just a problem: Sweet Tooth knows that Batman is never happy and has a "soft spot" for Robin. He tells his rogues that they have to do something about the little bird. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Holy Musical B@man! (Theatre) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: The show does this for laughs all over the place, but special mention goes to "Dynamic Duet", which Joe Walker has named the funniest Starkid song because of the juxtaposition of Batman and Robin's Sickeningly Sweet love song with their hilariously brutal No-Holds-Barred Beatdown of the villains. As Robin and Batman are doing a kickline, earning laughs from the audience, Sweet Tooth strikes on the idea to use Robin as Batman's "weak spot". Fans of previous Batman continuities know usually how well that turns out. | |

Then Sweet Tooth kidnaps Robin, and says the citizens either need to vote to save him or save themselves. Everyone chooses to save Robin, acknowledging he didn't ask for this. | |

Everyone Has Standards: Batman, an Adaptational Jerkass, is disturbed when Penguin commits suicide via Fruit Gusher in front of him and Robin. Not because the candy is poisoned— and Robin nearly eats one— but because normally the villains go to jail, and they're not fine with it but they accept the situation. The citizens of Gotham think that Robin's cheerful nature and lack of pants take away Batman's brooding side. They're horrified when Sweet Tooth takes him hostage, threatening to kill the boy unless they vote for Sweet Tooth to poison their water supply. As one man puts it, Robin is just a little kid! Kids are off-limits for actual death and murder. | |

Take That! | |
| Holy Musical B@man! (Theatre) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: There are a multiple stabs at the darker, gritty versions of Batman, specifically the Dark Knight Trilogy. The nerds wear Dark Knight T-shirts during Robin Sucks. One of them gets the line "a teenage crimefighter is ridiculous. It ruins the dark gritty atmosphere of a man dressed up like a bat to fight crime," which could be a reference to Christopher Nolan excluding Robin from the TDKT and holding the opinion that he's a lame character. At the climax, the line "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you" is mocked, as in this instance Batman is the one who throws Sweet Tooth to his death "I'm sorry but here at TGI Friday's all we can offer you is lukewarm service and a forced fun atmosphere." | |

Author Filibuster: Most of Batman's pep talk to Superman towards the end is pretty obviously the Langs gushing about how awesome superheroes are and how anyone who thinks that they're unrealistic or corny is a pretentious douchebag. And, much like the Author Filibuster from A Very Potter Sequel about Harry Potter, if you're a fan, it's awesome and heartwarming. | |

Sadistic Choice: At the show's climax, Sweet Tooth simultaneously delivers one to Batman and the people of Gotham. He sets up a Facebook poll, asking people to vote as to whether he should kill Robin. If they vote no, then he frees Robin, but poisons the Gotham water supply. If they vote yes, Robin dies and Gotham gets to live. If Batman intervenes in any way, he does both. Notably, both Batman and the people of Gotham decide to save Robin. It's not until Superman intervenes that a third option becomes available. | |

Decon-Recon Switch | |
| Holy Musical B@man! (Theatre) / int_e0113647 | comment |
Decon-Recon Switch: The Batman-Robin relationship is deconstructed in Act Two. Citizens of Gotham note that the child makes Batman happy, and Batman should never be happy. He's also a kid, and people being rescued snark about babysitting duties. Then Sweet Tooth threatens to murder Robin, and Batman launches on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge to save him. Once he does, Robin says that they need to save the innocent citizens of Gotham City. When Batman says they're not worth saving, Robin shows him the citizens voted to save Robin because they wouldn't hurt a child, and Batman vouched for Robin. Robin is necessary as The Conscience and Morality Chain for Batman. | |

Cruel Mercy | |
| Holy Musical B@man! (Theatre) / int_e19e68 | comment |
Cruel Mercy: Sweet Tooth forces a captive Robin to watch his lackeys murder Rachel Dawes by making her taste a Warhead, causing her head to explode. He then doesn't bother doing the same to Robin, finding that wouldn't be any fun. Instead, he talks about how the citizens hate Robin despite him putting his life on the line for them, so they can decide if they value their lives over his, by voting on a Facebook poll. He'll keep Robin alive, but poison their water instead, if they choose to save the boy. Oddly enough, Sweet Tooth keeps his word up to when Batman storms the villain barricade, and he tries to murder Robin and poison the water supply at the same time. | |

Composite Character | |
| Holy Musical B@man! (Theatre) / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Sweet Tooth has elements of the Batman: The Animated Series Joker (the purple suit and Candy), The Dark Knight Joker (some of the manic pronunciation, the final scheme and stabbing Chilly Willy), The Riddler from Batman Forever (the hair, the puns and the rampant mugging), and his namesake Sweet Tooth from The New Adventures of Batman (his name, candy theme, and plan involving Water Source Tampering). Played for Laughs with the many alter egos of Alfred Pennyworth/Lucius Fox/O'Malley/Quon Li/Spider-Man. | |

Reconstruction | |
| Holy Musical B@man! (Theatre) / int_e50987a9 | comment |
Reconstruction: Reaffirms the importance of Robin in the Batman mythos and argues that the concept of a child crime-fighter does nothing to ruin the gritty realism of a man who fights crime dressed like a bat. In particular, many people think that Robin is a stupid name for a sidekick and that his costume is too bright and cheery. Robin has an interesting point: a large songbird coming at you with violent intent can badly hurt you and make it look easy. Batman concedes on that when he sees Robin actually terrorizing mobsters. Of note is that people underestimate Robin because he seems to be a goofy child, but he curb stomps Penguin and saves Batman from the latter's death trap. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Everyone in Gotham knows that Batman is dark and brooding. The fact that he's smiling alarms some of the citizens, and Sweet Tooth gives an Evil Laugh because it means that Batman finally has a weakness. | |

Crossover | |
| Holy Musical B@man! (Theatre) / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: For a parody musical this is surprisingly averted, with almost all the characters being real DC Universe characters with the occasional Canon Foreigner — except for Team Starkid's favorite Shout-Out from A Very Potter Musical, Spider-Man (although other Marvel characters like Iron Man and the X-Men are also mentioned). Possibly justified when we find out Spider-Man is just one of Alfred's identities and possibly fictional in-universe. | |

Running Gag Go ahead, take a drink every time Batman slugs a Meredith Stepien character in the face. You'll be drunk by the end of the show. The demos on the soundtrack have a running gag about people playing the saxophone. Various people going "What was daaaaht?!" in a ridiculous voice every time they get startled by something. People knowing Superman's secret identity and being confused that it's supposed to be a secret. Alfred's Paper Thin Disguises. Batman's messing up his introductions: | |

Brick Joke | |
| Holy Musical B@man! (Theatre) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: Superman's rant in the first act about how stupid Batman and his villains are. Every single one of his complaints becomes true. Two-Face's plot to steal all of the two-dollar bills from the Second National Bank pops up a grand total of four times. The first is in Superman's aforementioned rant; the second is in the Rogues Gallery meeting, where Two-Face confirms that this is indeed his plan; the third is when he hijacks Sweet Tooth's telecast to announce it; and the fourth is when Alfred decides to go after Two-Face at the same time that Batman is going after Sweet Tooth. note Four times would be two times two, or two to the second power, as well as two plus two, so a good number for the running gag. | |

Shown Their Work: All of the "shitty villains" named in Vicki Vale's newscasts are real Batman villains of varying degrees of obscurity, as is Sweet Tooth. Similarly, all of the Super Friends in the final number are real members of the Justice League (including relatively obscure characters like Zatanna and Plastic Man), with the exception of Spider-Man. | |
