* {{Foil}}: Between Bruce and Warren. Both are rich playboys by day and have a double life by night. But they certainly are a dichotomy of how the trope is played up. Bruce is a gentleman who respects the staff and uses his wealth for good, and is kind to Rebecca regardless that she thinks he's "boring". Warren is an elitist who looks down on "the help", sees his wealth as a means to entertain himself, and [[BitchInSheepsClothing is only nice to Rebecca as a trophy]] up until [[HeKnowsTooMuch she learns his secret]]. On the flipside, Batman is a brave, honorable hero who has standards and uses his gifts and talents to help people. By contrast, Fox is an arrogant thief who uses wealth as an excuse to steal from others, and [[MilesGloriosus cowers]] when the odds aren't in his favor.

** Warren's girlfriend accepted his invitation to go with him and his friends on a trip to the mountains so she could take her mind off her father being in a coma, unaware she's going on a trip with the very people who put her father ''in'' the coma in the first place.

* CurbStompBattle: Throughout the episode, the Trio has managed to get away from Batman via dirty tricks (hurting Robin, putting bystanders in the way, etc). When they try to face him one-on-one...well, they're three frat boys with superiority complexes versus the flipping Batman. You do the math.

* FashionVictimVillain: Compared to the well-designed, colorful, scary and sometimes [[FanService flattering]] costumes of a majority of Batman's rogues gallery, the animal masks and drab overcoats worn by the trio make them look like this trope. The fact that Gunther's shark mask seems to have googly eyes doesn't help matters.

* DistressedDude: At the beginning of the episode, Robin is thrown from the pier when the Trio blow it up. He spends the rest of the episode with his arm in a cast. The only reason he wasn't hurt worse was because Batman realized the dock had been booby trapped and warned the Boy Wonder in time.

** When a desperate Warren finds himself caught by Batman, he tries to bribe the Dark Knight into looking the other way, convinced he could use it to buy "a lot of batarangs". Between Batman's [[ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules strong morale]] and [[CrimefightingWithCash his wealth]] as Bruce Wayne, the audience knows this won't work.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's never explained if Warren's girlfriend's father recovered from his encounter with Warren (he's last shown in a coma) and it's never explained what happened to Warren's girlfriend after Batman rescues her.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Warren's initially convinced that he can buy his way out of trouble once Batman apprehends him and rejects his attempts at bribery. Warren doesn't seem to realize (or possibly ignores the fact) that most of his victims are just as rich as he is (if not richer), and thus can easily afford high-priced lawyers themselves and ensure that whoever ends up being the judge that presides over the trial remains unbiased. Therefore, it's not much of a surprise that Warren's presumably found guilty on all charges--breaking and entering, theft, aggravated assault, and attempted murder, just to name a few--and tossed into a filthy prison cell with a burly (and apparently ill-tempered) cellmate.

Once apprehended by Batman, the next scene shows him shoved into a dark dank prison cell, with an unsavory cellmate. The fallen rich boy becomes frightened almost immediately once the [[RealityEnsues reality of his situation finally hits him]]. One simply has to ask, "Was your fun worth it?"
