- Action Mom: After becoming married with Bruce, Selina is now the stepmother of Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Cassandra Cain and Damian Wayne. Also she's biological mother of Helena Wayne.
- Badass Normal: Quick combatant, has the ability to roof hop (which ignites hers and Batman's iconic roof chasing), took lessons in martial arts and acrobatics (with some self-training involved), and overall has come to be able to fend for herself incredibly well, expertise resembling that of the Bat-Family members.
- Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Her civilian appearance and she's a confident and sexy woman.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Batman. Even after marrying they still have their moments.
- Berserk Button: It's best not to hurt any cats around her, but especially not the ones she personally owns.
- Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: The brunette to Harley's blonde and Ivy's redhead.
- Cats Are Mean: Her pet Isis usually helps her steal valuables.

- Femme Fatale: One of the more classic examples, though the influence has decreased a bit over the years.
- Friend to All Children: She has a soft spot for kids, and seems to instinctively know how to get them on her side. This is probably why she gets along so well with her stepchildren.
- Friend to All Living Things: All cats, at least. Krypto seems to have taken a liking to her as well.
- Goggles Do Something Unusual: They give her night vision. And general eye protection, since her line of work tends to involve crashing through skylights and other potentially eye-unfriendly things.
- Good Stepmother: Selina draws no distinction between her biological daughter and her many step kids. She loves them all equally, and will make the life of anyone who hurts them a living Hell.
- The Hedonist: As expected for a woman whose life creed is basically, "Do whatever the hell you want." Whether it's food, fashion, jewelry, sex, or thrills, Selina loves to treat herself!
- Hell-Bent for Leather: Her costume is made of leather and very skintight.
- Honorary Aunt: She and Pamela Isley are Lucy Quinzel's 'aunts'.
- Kindhearted Cat Lover: She loves cats, and doesn't mind feeding strays that come by the Wayne Manor.

These hobby plans would late be adapted into actual prototypes for use by the Batman and his allies.
- Gadgeteer Genius: He's helped invent a lot of Batman's equipment.

Coupled with his immense size and strength from years of hard work, Harold can do significant damage. He once choked out Man-Bat in order to save the life of Alfred.

Harold is fully capable of building, repairing, armoring, retrofitting, and dismantling all manner of machines including aeronautical and automotive vehicles, cutting edge weaponry, explosives, and on a few occasions even alien machinery.
