Tropes:
- Analogy Backfire: When Stalker attacks a group of Kobra agents instead of waiting like Batman said, he says in the jungle it is kill or be killed.Batman: This isn't the jungle!
- Boxed Crook: Stalker is now working for the NSA.
- Bring My Brown Pants: Implied. When Stalker drops Nelson after interrogating him from a building, Dana and Chelsea rush up to him. They ask if he is ok and he quips that he is but his shorts aren't.
- Cassandra Truth:
- At first, Batman won't believe Stalker didn't return to fight until Agent Bennett confirms it.
- As a backup plan, Kobra infected False Face, who doesn't believe it when Stalker warns him.
- Didn't Think This Through: Stalker impulsively attacks a group of Kobra agents instead of waiting like Batman said to. Batman points out that none of the agents are False Face and now that he has knocked them all unconscious they can't interrogate them for answers. Stalker admits that he acted impatiently.Stalker: Perhaps I was...impatient.Batman: Ya think!?
- Enemy Mine: Batman working together with both Stalker and the latter's employers the NSA (specifically Agent Bennett) to stop False Face and Kobra from spreading a super-virus.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Stalker won't hurt Batman for as long as there's a truce between them.
- Gory Discretion Shot: Bennett explains in a flashback how Kobra tested their plague virus on an island village that wiped out everything and everyone. One of the cleanup crew wheels out a containment chamber that held a native’s corpse, which only the leader was able to see the full details of what the plague did to the victim.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Nelson treats Terry disrespectfully at the beginning of the episode like Terry is his personal chauffeur. Not long afterwards, Stalker gets his hands on Nelson and humiliates him badly.
- Master of Disguise: Like his 60's version, False Face can impersonate anyone.
- Mythology Gag: False Face was originally a one-shot villain from the live-action 60's TV series.
- The way Stalker kicks down False Face from his bike is similar to how a young Bruce knocked a thug down from his bike in Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.
- Nightmare Face: False Face's true face is well beyond a Gonk.
- The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Stalker wants Batman to die by his hand without anyone else's help.
- Series Continuity Error: In this episode, Agent Bennett tells Batman what Kobra is but the episode "Unmasked" reveals that Batman already knew them from his early days as a crimefighter.
- Spotting the Thread: Terry was able to spot False Face whilst he was disguised as Nelson. When False Face wonders how it was so, Terry quips "Not enough zits".
- Unwitting Pawn: False Face himself in the final act, used by Kobra to become an unknowing carrier of their virus. In the end Batman and Stalker managed to prevent him from spreading the virus, only for False Face to succumb to it himself.
