- Audience-Alienating Era: Since his one-hundred issue long title ended, Azrael has been on one, being heavily Out of Focus in the Batfamily and stuck in repetitive arcs of trying to break free of the System, all the while his supporting cast (As well as Michael Lane) have vanished without a trace.
- Cant Unhear It: After the Batman: Arkham Series it’s hard to hear Michael Lane not voiced by Khary Payton.
- Fan Nickname: Let's see here...
- There's "Az."
- A lot of people refer to Jean-Paul Valley as Batman as "AzBats." Little known fact: "AzBats" was actually coined by Nightwing.
- Narm: Jean-Paul Valley's solo series begins with him hallucinating a pitiful homeless man feebly asking if he could have his shoes as a demonic Batman howling at him to "GIVE ME YOUR SHOES!"
- The Woobie: Michael Lane, in spades, and he may even be an Iron Woobie. Jean-Paul Valley too, though to a lesser extent. Still, both of these guys are definitely worthy of at least honorary woobie-hood. Lane's whole family was killed in horrible ways thanks to a Deus Angst Machina, and he did absolutely nothing to deserve it. And Jean-Paul; Any and all of his mental problems largely revolved around the need for a father figure, or any kind of family. If anything, Jean-Paul's shattered mental state is due to nothing short of neglect.
