(shared genre tropes: Batman has his batmobile; Nancy Drew has her blue Mustang convertible; Batman has Alfred; Nancy Drew has Hannah Gruen; the death of a parent/parents were formative to her/his personality; sidekicks; money is never a problem; both were banned from carrying guns for quite some time; neither can commit to a love interest because their work comes first; Nancy’s attorney father, Carson Drew, often brings her cases and protects her legally when the need arises, while Commissioner Gordon has also fulfilled these functions for Batman; both have been alternately “cleaned up” and “grittied” as befitting the times, etc.)
