Batman battles a flirtatious, thrill-addicted stuntwoman-turned-jewel thief named Roxy Rocket and...
that's pretty much it. Come for the stunning action setpieces and heaps of
Double Entendres, stay for more of the same.
Tropes:
- Affably Evil: Roxy Rocket gets this to a certain extent.
- All That Glitters: Roxy tells a robbery victim she can keep her ring, as it's just cheap jewelry.
- All There in the Script: Penguin's henchgirls are named Jay, Raven and Lark.
- Break the Haughty: Besides her massive thrill-seeking addiction, Roxy's main personality trait is how extremely smug she is, never taking anything seriously and always believing that any life-threatening event works to her advantage since she's Not Afraid to Die. Upon learning Batman actually intends to arrest her, she's seen looking noticeably upset for the first time in the episode.
- Catfight: Roxie against three of Penguin's henchgirls.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: Practically everything Roxie says, even going so far as to say she was the best (chase) that Batman had ever had. She spends most of the episode riding around on a human-sized rocket. At the end of the episode, when she thinks Batman wants the two of them to die together she begins screaming he is "the best" with an enthusiastic "Yeah, yeah... Yeah!" right before her rocket crashes.
- Early-Bird Cameo: During the aerial chase through the tunnel, Batman nearly crashes into a Farmer Brown truck. Dan Riba was the director on both this episode and "Critters". On the latter's DVD commentary, Riba acknowledged he intentionally inserted the Farmer Brown truck shot to establish the villain before his debut.
- In Harm's Way: Roxy is an adrenaline junkie who craves excitement and danger.
- The Lad-ette: While flirtatious, Roxy is also easily the most tomboyish of Batman's female enemies; during her career as a stunt double, she even filled in for some male actors.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Roxy's career in Hollywood is called back to by her constantly comparing events to setpieces in a movie script. As it just so happens, all the script notes she refers to tie to what actually happens in the episode, such as the screen fading to black after she escapes Penguin or the third-act climax being the third-act climax.
- Monstrous Seal: The Iceberg Lounge's leopard seals, once background gags at best, become this when their master wants Roxy rubbed out. They fail. Roxy even manages to hitch a ride on one!
- No Honor Among Thieves: As the Penguin happily demonstrates to Roxy.
- Orgasmic Combat: Her facial expressions and cries of excitement during the final encounter with Batman look and sound very much like outbursts of passion.
- Pretty in Mink: One of the socialites robbed at the beginning wears a black fur wrap.
- Rocket Ride: Roxy Rocket.
- "Take That!" Kiss: Roxy blows Batman a kiss before she escapes during their first chase, with her calling it a "great first date". Later, when Batman is hanging from a construction site with one hand and holding a piece of art Roxy stole with his other, Roxy smirks down at him and mockingly makes a kissing sound at him before blowing up her rocket.
- Together in Death: Roxy thinks that this is what Batman wants to do with her towards the end, when he neither abandons the rocket nor lets Roxy divert it. She loves the idea and screams how he is "the greatest" and as they plummet towards the ground together she whispers to him how "the final stunt is the best". She is a bit disappointed when he uses a parachute to save them but brushes it off as living to "play another day" with Batman.
- Villainesses Want Heroes: Roxy gains a major crush on Batman for being able to keep up with her and she calls the two of them "the perfect couple". The ending shows how she is perfectly accepting of the idea of dying with him in a stunt. She is heartbroken when he doesn't return her feelings and simply slaps the cuffs on her after everything they went through together.
- Wrench Whack: When fighting the Penguin's henchwoman, Roxy picks up a massive wrench and hits one girl with it.
