* BavarianFireDrill: Before becoming the new Clayface, Karlo went to Wayne Industries and posed as a scientist to get his hands on the chemical that made Ethan become Clayface. Naturally the actual scientists and security guards don't buy it, especially because of Karlo's bad acting.

* PerfectDisguiseTerribleActing: Basil Karlo was always a terrible actor, even before he became the new Clayface. It is a RunningGag throughout the episode has people point out his terrible acting skills, which even blows his cover to Ethan Bennett when he impersonates Robin. The one time he manages to trick someone successfully is when he takes on the appearance of an old lady, but that was only because of his newly gained shapeshifting powers rather than any real acting.

* PowerOfTrust: Bruce still considers Ethan a friend and is working to cure him, but he's still weary of him after what happened in Season 2. Wanting to help bring in Karlo, Ethan asks for Bruce to put in a good word for him and a little trust, but he's denied (which is why he breaks out instead). Ultimately, Batman has to trust him during the final fight with Karlo, and Ethan makes good on it.
