| 1 | 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 | She Fu: Catwoman's fighting style. | |
| 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 | Batman Cold Open: As per the opening of the game itself, though there are two in it this time. | |
| 36 | Click Hello: The cliffhanger. | |
| 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. | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | [i]Chapter 1[/i] | |
| 44 | Acid Pool: What Two-Face was going to drop Catwoman and Jess into. | |
| 45 | - | Curb Stomp Battle: Batman vs. Two-Face's goons. |
| 45 | + | |
| 46 | Badass In Distress: Jessica and Catwoman, subjected to a Joker Jury at the hands of Two-Face. They break themselves out. | |
| 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 | Faux Affably Evil: Julian Gregory "Calendar Man" Day rather politely tells Azumi about how he strangled a woman on Valentine's Day. Charming. | |
| 50 | The Man In The Mirror Talks Back: Two-Face's two halves are identified separately. | |
| 51 | Numerical Motif: Dent, as Crane draws attention to. | |
| 52 | Save The Villain: Azumi to Two-Face. Sort of. | |
| 53 | Split Personality: Dent again. | |
| 54 | Stealth Hi/Bye: The Cliffhanger. | |
| 55 | Stealth Insult/Genius Bonus: Azumi leaves a swear instead of an actual radio frequency, coded in alphanumeric substitution. | |
| 56 | Two Faced: The Trope Namer himself. | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | [i]Chapter 2[/i] | |
| 59 | Ax Crazy: Spiderman agrees that Zsasz is as crazy as the host of Carnage-616. | |
| 60 | Bad Liar: Zsasz's Motive Rant isn't particularly convincing, just crazy. | |
| 61 | Batman Cold Open: Taken to its literal extreme. (Okay, I'm sorry.) | |
| 62 | Covered in Scars: Victor Zsasz. One tally mark for each kill. | |
| 63 | Enemy Mine: Between DCAU!Batman and Bane in order to take out containers of Titan, six for each of them. | |
| 64 | Evil Phone: Zsasz's mission revolves around these. | |
| 65 | Fan Disservice: Nobody wants to see you shirtless, Zsasz. | |
| 66 | Good Scars, Evil Scars: See Covered in Scars. | |
| 67 | Knife Nut: Zsasz again. | |

| 70 | Serial Killer: Zsasz again. | |
| 71 | Soft-Spoken Sadist: Victor Zsasz. | |
| 72 | Stealth-Based Mission: Spidey's takedown of Zsasz, which utilizes methods not available to Batman, like the Wall Crawl. | |
| 73 | The Watson: Seems to be one of A.L.F.R.E.D.'s primary purposes here, so as to help explain the plot to people who are less informed. | |
| 74 | We Have Reserves: Oswald "Penguin" Cobblepot leaves his own men on Joker's side of the city to keep Batman from reaching him easily. | |
