NOTES

  • This episode, along with "Spellbound" and "Hooked Up" were released on VHS as Batman Beyond: Spellbound. It was later paired up with the VHS release of Batman Beyond: School Dayz (consisting of "The Winning Edge", "Golem" and "Dead Man's Hand") on DVD. edit »
  • The debut appearance of Curare. edit »
  • Although Melissa Disney is credited as the "voice" of Curare, the character never voices a single word in any of her appearances. edit »
  • Barbara's involvement with Bruce was after the end of Batman Gotham Knights. In "Chemistry," the fourth-to-the-last episode, Bruce married someone and Barbara still seemed interested in Dick. In Mystery of the Batwoman, it's suggested that Bruce and Barbara are involved. edit »
  • The exchange between Barbara and Bruce in the Batcave about him manipulating Terry into becoming Batman is almost exactly the same as the conversation between Batman and Robin in the Batman episode "Old Wounds," where Robin accuses Batman of manipulating Barbara into becoming Batgirl. edit »
