Chapter 6
3+
4
5
[b]Alice In Wonderland[/b]: The Mad Hatter's obsession.
6
7
[b]Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance[/b]: The Hatter.
8
9
[b]Berserk Button[/b]: Do not call the Mad Hatter insane.
10
11
[b]Body Horror[/b]: In the Hatter's falling mindscape, the masks he puts on people are a part of their heads.
12
13
[b]Brainwashed and Crazy[/b]: The Mad Hatter's henchmen, and very nearly Azumi and Jessica as well.
14
15
[b]The Corruptible[/b]: Jessica and Azumi, though it's not really their fault due to the drugs they had taken earlier. Scarecrow calls out the latter on this.
16
17
[b]Depraved Dwarf[/b]: Kind of in the case of the Mad Hatter, but he doesn't seem to know what's wrong.
18
19
[b]Dream Apocalypse[/b]: Steadily collapsing as the women fight off the Hatter and his goons, then completely falls apart when Scarecrow invades.
20
21
[b]Enemy Mine[/b]: A non antagonistic example of sorts. Azumi and Jessica do not see eye to eye, but they do work together rather well to fight off the Hatter.
22
23
[b]Everyone Loves Blondes[/b]: Jess's hair color comes as a disadvantage to her.
24
25
[b]Evil Redhead[/b]: The Hatter, though how "villainous" he is is up for grabs.
26
27
[b]Evil Is Stylish[/b]: His suit might not be up to par, but it is rather fancy.
28
29
[b]Freak Out[/b]: Azumi has one at the end of the topic over her powerlessness to stop the mind control on her own.
30
31
[b]Hair Raising Hare[/b]: The white rabbit masks of the Hatter's goons.
32
33
[b]Heroic BSOD[/b]: Azumi has one at the end of the chapter.
34
35
[b]Gonk[/b]: The Hatter is not attractive, no.
36
37
[b]Heroic Willpower[/b]: How Azumi and Jess avoid being brainwashed completely.
38
39
[b]Hypno Trinket[/b]: The Mad Hatter's hats and tea.
40
41
[b]I Ate What[/b]: The Hatter's tea is laced with "ludicrous amounts of psychoactive controls".
42
43
[b]Incredibly Lame Pun[/b]: See A Spot Of Tea.
44
45
[b]The Mad Hatter[/b]: Subverted by Jervis "The Mad Hatter" Tetch. His mental illness is a very touchy subject.
46
47
[b]Mad Scientist[/b]: The Hatter and Scarecrow both, but more the former here.
48-
======

49
[b]Master Of Illusion[/b]: The Hatter and Scarecrow, again.

Chapter 7
50+
51
[b]Mind Control Device[/b]: The Mad Hatter's hats and tea. The latter is taken by Scarecrow for Dani.
52
53
[b]Mistaken For Special Guest[/b]: A dark take on this in the form of Jess's being mistaken for Alice Lidell of Lewis Carroll's books.
54
55
[b]Mushroom Samba/Nightmare Sequence[/b]: The Mad Hatter's mind control dimension.
56
57
[b]My Name Is Not Durwood[/b]: Jess is not Alice, Jervis. Stop it.

59
[b]Mythology Gag[/b]: Scarecrow's appearance in the Dream Apocalypse is that of the Scarebeast from the comics.
60
61
[b]Nice Hat[/b]: The Hatter's top hat.
62
63
[b]Nightmare Fuel[/b]: The whole brainwashing process.
64
65
[b]No Mister Bond, I Expect You To Dine[/b]: The Hatter just wanted the women to have tea with him... forever.
66
67
[b]Obliviously Evil[/b]: The Mad Hatter seems to be this way.
68
69
[b]One Scene Wonder[/b]: Like Zsasz, the Hatter only comes up front in this chapter.
70
71
[b]Pet The Dog[/b]: When DCAU!Batman hears that Azumi had a run in with the Mad Hatter, the first thing he does is ask if she is okay.
72
73
[b]Psychopathic Manchild[/b]: Jervis Tetch.
74
75
[b]Red Sky Take Warning[/b]: The mind control dimension takes on this when Scarecrow invades.
76
77
[b]Rhymes On A Dime[/b]: The narration during the "break out of brainwashing" sequence.
78
79
[b]Soundtrack Dissonance[/b]: A literary example. As the two women scream and try to escape their blind brainwashing, the format of the writing changes to poetry.
80
81
[b]Villainous Rescue[/b]: Scarecrow saves Azumi and Jessica.
82
83
[b]Villainous Teleportation[/b]: Mad Hatter has this... kind of. It's probably the drugs.
84
85
[b]Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds[/b]: Well, minds, but the Mad Hatter fits.

Chapter 8

91
92
[b]Arm Cannon[/b]: Deadshot has two forearm-mounted, silenced, armor-piercing ones. Azumi takes one of the pairs for herself upon victory.
93
94
[b]Armor Is Useless[/b]: Averted. Azumi would be dead if it weren't for several layers of protection.
95
96
[b]Armor Piercing Attack[/b]: Deadshot and Azumi's guns, more the Seeker Rifle in the case of the latter.
97
98
[b]Badass Mustache[/b]: Deadshot.
99
100
[b]Battle Trophy[/b]: Azumi's requisition of Deadshot's arm guns on one arm is a functional version of this.
101
102
[b]Berserk Button[/b]: Azumi made Deadshot miss his shot. He wasn't happy.
103
104
[b]Blown Across The Room[/b]: Or blown off the roof, anyway, in terms of Azumi's first defeat to Deadshot. Justified in that it wasn't very long, and in gameplay, the gun does the same to someone else.
105
106
[b]Boss Banter: Deadshot goes on about how unbeatable he is just a bit.
107
108
[b]The Cameo[/b]: Calendar Man at the end.
109
110
[b]Cliffhanger[/b]: Azumi is being trailed by... someone at the end.
111
112
[b]Deadpan Snarker[/b]: Deadshot most prominently.
113
114
[b]Death Seeker[/b]: Deadshot isn't actually actively seeking death. He just doesn't care if he lives or dies.
115
116
[b]Fashion Victim Villain[/b]: Azumi thinks this of any of the villains, but Deadshot in this case.
117
118
[b]Gun Fu[/b]: The Azumi versus Deadshot final fight is essentially a close-range gunfight, albeit realistic and involving them dropping most of their weapons to close combat.
119
120
[b]Gunpoint Banter[/b]: Between Deadshot and Azumi when they confront each other.
121
122
[b]The Gunslinger[/b]: Most prominently Deadshot.
123
124
[b]Hard Head[/b]: Azumi doesn't get a concussion from her impact with concrete. Justified by how she is wearing a helmet and full armor, and she does get knocked out.
125-
======
125+
126
[b]Improbable Aiming Skills[/b]: A staple of Deadshot. The last shot he attempts is [i]through[/i] a filled water tower. Also an example of [b]Artistic License: Physics[/b], though he probably did it that way to show Mythbusters off for assuming he couldn't.
127-
Chapter 9
127+
128
[b]In Medias Res[/b]: Starts in the middle of the Deadshot attack before going to [b]How We Got Here[/b].
129
130
[b]Irony[/b]: Batman [i]is[/i] on Deadshot's kill list. He's just going to get to Bruce Wayne first.
131
132
[b]Mysterious Mercenary Pursuer[/b]: Deadshot again.
133
134
[b]Nietszche Wannabe[/b]: His "The Reason You Suck" Speech seems to give that impression.
135
136
[b]Politically Incorrect Villain[/b]: Deadshot, not to mention extremely crude.
137
138
[b]Porn Stache[/b]: Deadshot's classic mustache.
139
140
[b]"The Reason You Suck" Speech[/b]: Deadshot gives one against [i]hope[/i].
141
142
[b]Shoot Out The Lock[/b]: Subverted with Azumi getting into the substation. She uses her Seeker Rifle to shoot the hinges, not the lock, in proper shotgun breaching procedure.
143
144
[b]Smug Super[/b]: Deadshot is rather proud of his skill. Possibly subverted in that he isn't actually super. He's just that good.
145
146
[b]Shout Out[/b]: [i]To Uncharted 2: Among Thieves[/i]. "That's my blood. That's my blood, that's a [i]lot[/i] of my blood."
147
148
[b]Shut Up Hannibal[/b]: Azumi gives one to Deadshot in response to his "The Reason You Suck" Speech after their fight.
149
150
[b]Sniper Duel[/b]: Between Azumi and Deadshot. Not a long one, though, mostly be necessity of the time span.
151
152
[b]Sniper Rifle[/b]: Azumi's Seeker Rifle and Deadshot's rifle.
153
154
[b]Stealth Based Mission[/b]: The lead up to getting to Deadshot both times.
155
156
[b]Walking Armory[/b]: Deadshot is noted as carrying two handguns, his sniper rifle, and his trademark guns.
157
158
[b]We Will Meet Again[/b]: Deadshot shouts this to Azumi, who isn't there.
159
160
161
[u]Chapter 8[/u]
162
163
[b]Apocalyptic Log[/b]: Sort of in the case of Hush's diary.
164
165
[b]Badass Longcoat[/b]: Hush doesn't get to show it, though.
166
167
[b]Bandaged Face[/b]: Dr. Thomas "Hush" Elliot, at your service.
168
169
[b]Berserk Button[/b]: Hush hits Catwoman's, murdering six people for basically no reason.
170
171
[b]Big Damn Heroes[/b]: Jessica is saved by Catwoman coming in on the high amount of mooks attacking her.
172
173
[b]Body Horror[/b]: The fate of the victims of the Identity Thief, and his new face.
174
175
[b]Burn Baby Burn[/b]: Hush burns the audio tape of himself to secure his new identity.
176
177
[b]Casual Danger Dialogue[/b]: Jessica and Catwoman engage in this during the Multi Mook Melee.
178
179
[b]Criminal Doppelgänger[/b]: Hush, of Bruce Wayne. The voice isn't quite there yet, though.
180
181
[b]Dramatic Unmask[/b]: Hush does this for Catwoman, who is shocked by the look.
182
183
[b]Evil Former Friend[/b]: Hush is one to Bruce Wayne.
184
185
[b]Face Stealer[/b]: As in the game, Hush takes Jane Doe's shtick from the comics here to make his new face instead of going to another surgeon.
186
187
[b]Freak Out[/b]: Jess has one near the end after the entire ordeal involving Hush, but Selina snaps her out of it.
188
189
[b]Groin Attack[/b]: Indirect, but Jessica and Selina tear a man's legs apart like a wishbone, potentially ripping his groin in half in the process, but not killing him.
190
191
[b]Ironic Nursery Rhyme[/b]: Hush sings "Hush Little Baby" as he leaves Catwoman and Jess alone.
192
193
[b]Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique[/b]: How the women get the information on Hush's hideout out of the inmate they find.
194
195
[b]Les Yay[/b]: Jessica does not want to know why Selina smells like sweat, rose petals, and sap after talking with "Pam". The wording was probably intentional on Catwoman's part.
196
197
[b]Morally Ambiguous Doctorate[/b]: Hush is a plastic surgeon. Evil, of course.
198
199
[b]Mythology Gag[/b]: Hush makes a comment about literally taking Catwoman's heart, something he actually does in the comic storyline in which he debuted.
200
201
[b]The Nose Knows[/b]: Catwoman and Jess track down the Cleanup Crew member for Hush to try to find him by using Jessica's olfactory trail of bleach. Later, she uses her other Super Senses to hear the guy.
202
203
[b]Room Full Of Crazy[/b]: Hush lives in one very close to Catwoman's own apartment, which legitimately scares her. It includes an operating table, surgical equipment, and pictures of all of his subjects' faces, not to mention a tape of himself saying his diary for this.
204
205
[b]Serial Killer[/b]: Hush, the Identity Thief.
206
207
[b]Sharp Dressed Man[/b]: Hush has on a nice suit under his trench coat.
208
209
[b]Shout Out[/b]: Catwoman calls Wayne a "billionaire playboy philanthropist". Not a genius, though. Still, she knows her Avengers apparently.
210
211
[b]The Sociopath[/b]: Hush again.
212
213
[b]Super Senses[/b]: Jessica has all of her senses enhanced, which really shows when she tracks down the mook to interrogate.
214
215
[b]Tear Off Your Face[/b]: Jessica sees a victim of the Identity Thief, and takes off the bandages. It's not pretty.
216
217
[b]This Cannot Be[/b]: Not really, but Catwoman does say this in response to Hush's face.
218
219
[b]The Unfought[/b]: Hush is encountered, but aside from pointing a gun at Jess, he doesn't fight them at all.
220
221
[b]Perspective Flip[/b]: Unlike previous chapters with Jessica and Catwoman, this one is predominantly from the latter's point of view, showing she's not completely flippant about everything.
222
223
[b]Pet The Dog[/b]: Selina shows a lot of concern for Jessica this time around, and is more serious around things, showing that she does care about people.
224
225
[b]Vader Breath[/b]: The main reason Hush's voice differs from Wayne's is that he's still adjusting to the pain of the surgery to get his new face.
226
227
228
[u]Chapter 9[/u]
229
230
[b]Bi The Way[/b]: Joked about by one of the thugs near the end in response to hearing Catwoman "goes both ways" (which really meant she was an antihero/antivillain).
231
232
[b]Blatant Lies[/b]: Azumi lies to Scarecrow about "Wraith" attacking her when it was really Batman who put her in her state. Also, Scarecrow lying about nothing happening with Killer Croc. Only the latter is peeled through.
233
234
[b]Blood From The Mouth[/b]: Azumi has some, but it's not indicative of being near death. Rather, it's indicative of the fact that she was punched in the mouth, and has a cut inside as a result.
235
236
[b]Dramatic Irony[/b]: Scarecrow says that he doubts Azumi has the skills to beat Batman, even though she knows she nearly did a few minutes prior.
237
238
[b]Enemy Chatter[/b]: There's a whole section near the end of the chapter devoted to showing some of the thug conversations.
239
240
[b]Even Evil Has Standards[/b]: Hush agrees with Azumi about Scarecrow not being a scientist and his work being idiotic instead of scientific.
241
242
[b]Evil Mentor[/b]: Scarecrow is revealed to be this to an evil student, namely Hush, though neither of them knew it at the time they were teacher and student.
243
244
[b]Hannibal Lecture[/b]: Azumi listens to one from Strange on a video tape. She is not happy with it's comments on Batman.
245
246
[b]High Altitude Interrogation[/b]: Azumi does one of these as Wraith with both hands on the thug's legs, getting information on a side entrance to the Iceberg Lounge and getting the Puffin Zero frequency for the radio so she can listen in on Penguin.
247
248
[b]I Don't Like The Sound Of That Place[/b]: Lampshaded with Crime Alley.
249
250
[b]I Just Want To Be You[/b]: Riddler brings attention to how this is the case with Hugo Strange regarding Batman.
251
252
[b]Leaning On The Fourth Wall[/b]: The thugs near the end talk about, among other things, what the next Arkham based place will be in order of escalation.
253
254
[b]Let's You And Him Fight[/b]: Azumi and Arkham!Batman get into a scuffle over the tape in Crime Alley. Azumi does better, but still loses, and it's only because she asks him to stop that he finally does.
255
256
[b]Nice Job Breaking It, Hero[/b]: Azumi saved Hush's life by stopping Deadshot, and she knows it. She also ended up giving Scarecrow ideas on how to improve his toxin by accident, unfortunately.
257
258
[b]Not So Stoic[/b]: Azumi's comprehensive call that Scarecrow is not a scientist, something he professes to be time and again, finally makes him lose his cool, screaming at her.
259
260
[b]Only Sane Man[/b]: One of the thugs, the second one, is the only one who seems to be completely sane and intelligent enough for reasoning in the end of the chapter.
261
262
[b]"The Reason You Suck" Speech[/b]: Azumi gives this to Scarecrow, though it will turn out to be a case of Nice Job Breaking It, Hero.
263
264
[b]Reports Of My Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated[/b]: Hush tells Scarecrow he thought he was dead. Scarecrow's only response is that that comment "gets tiresome after a while".
265
266
[b]Say My Name[/b]: Azumi calls Batman by his real name of Bruce, which prompts him to leave.
267
268
[b]Stealth Insult[/b]: Azumi says that she doesn't have time to deal with "the straw man" (Scarecrow), not because she has better things to do, but because she wants a more comprehensive look at the trash in Arkham City.
269
270
[b]Villain Has A Point[/b]: Inverted. Hush admits that Azumi has a point in her rant at Scarecrow about not performing actual science.
271
272
[b]Who Writes This Crap?[/b]: Azumi wonders who in their right mind would knowingly name a place Crime Alley.
