Mistaken for Gods is the same thing as God Guise.


* GodGuise: Defied. Bats is given a chance to play along with Maxie's delusions when he's mistaken for Hades; he refuses to go along with it. The thing is, it's not that inappropriate a guise for him... a [[DarkIsNotEvil grim, dark, but ultimately benevolent figure]] who [[Fiction500 has fantastic wealth]] and (in a manner of speaking) rules over the underworld?

to:

* GodGuise: Not only does Maxie think he's a god, he mistakes other characters for gods too.
** He thinks his girlfriend Clio is her namesake, the Muse of History.

* MistakenForGods: Not only does Maxie think he's a god, he mistakes other characters for gods too. He thinks his girlfriend Clio is her namesake, the Muse of History. When he sees Batman, Zeus believes he's Hades. And at the end, he assumes his fellow patients/inmates at Arkham are also Greco-Roman gods.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Maxie Zeus orders his henchman Alex to attack Batman. Alex declares that there's no way he can possibly win and tries to leave. Zeus angrily tries to gun him down for his defiance, but he outruns the gunfire and escapes into the swimming pool. Although he disappears for the rest of the episode, he is presumably arrested after the battle.

* AlasPoorVillain: Non-death example (being a Batman show aimed at children after all), Maxie Zeus falls from his penthouse in a HoistByHisOwnPetard, knocking himself out, and it has become apparent to both the audience and the characters that the man he once was is beyond hope of saving, as his obsession with Greek mythology has completely consumed him.
