Might as well begin one for [b]Ashes of Arkham[/b]. Might do ones for other fanfics, but this one will be updated as chapters are added.
2
3
[u]First for the fic as a whole.[/u]
4
Action Girl: Azumi and Jessica.
5
Alternative Character Interpretation:  The Arkhamverse!Batman is noticeabley more brutal than his DCAU counterpart.  However, this is more on the creator's part than ours.
6
Anti Hero: DCAU!Batman is a Type II. Azumi, Jessica, Arkham!Batman and to a degree Catwoman are Type IIIs.
7
Anti Villain: What Catwoman isn't as a Type III Anti Hero she is as a Type I of this.
8
Badass: Basically the entire protagonist ensemble, both canon and not.
9
Badass Abnormal: Scarecrow, as per normal now.
10
Badass Normal: DCAU!Batman, Arkhamverse!Batman, Arkhamverse!Catwoman, and Azumi Ian.
11
Batman Gambit: One is in action, yes, but it isn't by the Trope Namers. It's by [i]Azumi[/i], on top of [i]more[/i] of a Gambit Pileup than the original game.
12
Catgirl: Selina "Catwoman" Kyle and Jessica Mireu, in motif and literally respectively.
13
Classy Cat Burglar: Selina again.
14
Crapsack World: When you're in the Arkhamverse, you know that, at minimum, you will end up with many more bruises than you are used to.
15
Dark Action Girl: Catwoman.
16
Deadpan Snarker: Many, from Alfred Pennyworth to A.L.F.R.E.D. to Arkhamverse!Batman to Azumi to Catwoman to Spiderman.
17
The Dreaded: The Batmen and Scarecrow at least.
18
Femme Fatale: Again Catwoman.
19
Funny Background Event: As per the game itself, the thug conversations play out this way.
20
Goggles Do Something Unusual: Detective Vision, Helmet Mounted Displays, VISR, and Thief Vision.
21
Hey, it's That Voice!: In-universe. Kevin Conroy voices both Batmen, and Grey DeLisle voices both Catwoman and Azumi.
22
Les Yay: Played for laughs. Catwoman teases Jessica about her looks, and Jessica has a hard time not looking at Selina's swinging behind.
23
Lighter And Softer: Than the game itself. Very, [i]very[/i] slightly.
24
Massively Multiplayer Crossover: Of a sort. This is the most people working together on a fic, let along individual chapters, that has happened thus far.
25
Noble Demon: Catwoman.
26
Race Against The Clock: Azumi and the Batmen are trying to find out what Protocol 10 is before it is too late.
27

28
The Tease: Catwoman, to Jessica's chagrin.
29
Teeth Gritted Teamwork: Azumi's partnerships with Scarecrow and Jessica both.
30
The Password Is Always Swordfish: If there is a password, most times it will be rather obvious. This is sometimes lampshaded.
31
Volleying Insults: Azumi and Scarecrow. Constantly.
32
Whip It Good: The catgirl duo.
33
34
[u]Prologue[/u]
35

37
Embarrassing Nickname: "Catgirl" for Jessica, taking from the DCU itself.
38
Fish Out of Water: Jessica, in a sense.
39
Les Yay: Played for laughs. Catwoman teases Jessica about her looks, and Jessica has a hard time not looking at Selina's swinging behind.
40
Lovely Angels/Sword and Sorcerer: Kyle and Mireu begin a variant of these kinds of partnerships here.
41
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Catwoman isn't that alarmed by Jess's looks, and up-front says she probably should have expected that eventually. Granted, she's from the DCU, and is friends with a Plant Person.

47
Black and White Insanity: Harvey "Two-Face" Dent himself.
48
Curb Stomp Battle: Batman vs. Two-Face's goons. It's barely even described.
49

Bad Liar: Zsasz's Motive Rant isn't particularly convincing, just crazy.
