Batman Beyond: Episode Trivia
Season:
- The disk Terry gets from his dad changes from a mini-disk to a full-size CD when Terry is talking to Bruce through the intercom at the gate. It changes back to a mini-disk in the next episode.
- In this episode, some of the bat-suit’s features are described; they include neuromuscular enhancement, synaptic controls, and flight capability. However, none of that explains how the suit enables Terry to withstand the extraordinary physical abuse he is shown taking in later episodes, such as being struck in the head with a crow bar or being propelled through a concrete wall.
- In the UK, the series was called Batman of the Future. Yet at the beginning, they forgot to dub it, so Terry said "Last time on Batman Beyond" instead of "Last time on Batman of the Future" ... maybe it took too long?
- Trivia: The Golem's actual classification is Galvanic Lifting Machine (G.L.M.)
- The "Golem" is supposed to be two stories tall, but proportionally, it's about twenty times taller than a human.
- After Willie's dad falls into the water, he reappears on land remarkably fast, and absolutely dry.
- Trivia: Apparently, Gotham City either uses the Celsius temperature system or some other unknown system. Dr Lake mentions the heat wave just reached 70, in Fahrenheit that is quite normal but in Celsius it is very hot.
- Powers suggests that a biopsy be done on Fries's organs, but a biopsy is a sample taken from live tissue. Dr. Lake (being a doctor) should have known there was no need to kill Fries to perform the procedure. If the patient was dead, that would be an autopsy.
- When Ten looks at her watch during the fight with Batman, it's 11:32. They fight, take a hostage and escape. Right after he saves the guard, Batman looks at a clock, it's 12:32. It seems unlikely that that little exchange took a whole hour.
- The chairs in the center of the hotel room change between shots. They go from plain wood, to upholstered with white cushions.
- When Batman is thrown against the hotel room wall by the playing-card explosion, a lamp and a four-legged table also hit the wall. However, the floor plan Terry examined shows no four-legged table in that room.
- Trivia: Bruce compares Terry's relationship with Melanie to his own relationship with Selina Kyle/Catwoman.
- As Terry and Melanie say goodbye after their second "date" (after the Royal Flush Gang breaks into the museum), she runs off while still wearing Terry's trademark jacket. However, when Melanie calls him a few hours later, Terry is seen wearing his jacket.
- When Batman ties up Bane's nurse, the rope is coiled five times around the nurse's body. In the next shot, there are six coils.
- The number of petals on the flower the Joker wears on his jacket changes from six to seven between shots.
- Trivia: It's been 20 years since Bane left prison. Twenty years is the same amount of time that Bruce stopped being Batman.
- In the library scene, Bruce is on a ladder, two shelves from the top of the book wall. In the next shot, he is at least three shelves from the top.
- Trivia: Terry borrows Dick Grayson's tux, as it's "way retro." Terry and Dick do look like they're about the same build - makes sense. (Of course, it does raise the question of how the lean Terry fits the Batsuit designed for the muscular Bruce).
- Bruce is getting sloppy - at one point he pulls up the three victims. (At this point, it had been one student- Chelsea - and two parents of students). He shows pictures of Chelsea, who was ensorcelled, the curator, who was ensorcelled, and Jared, whose mother was ensorcelled. Why not a picture of Jared's mother?
- Inque's transformation into Batman in the fighting scene is incomplete. She is missing the red, Batman symbol on the chest. It's odd that Bruce didn't immediately notice this inconsistency.
- When Inque is escaping from containment, the security guard named Harris speaks into his radio, and says that he is on the 6th floor. However, Inque's room number is 317, so presumably she should be on the 3rd floor.
- Aaron is very surprised when he finds out his boss was monitoring him with Inque. You'd think he could figure out that when you're incarcerating a shape-shifting industrial sabetour, you're going to occasionally peek in on her to make sure she's still held securely.
- To make her escape, Inque attaches herself to a police officer. In one shot, the cop is shown as a black man, but in the next, he is white.
- In the opening fight scene, Batman coils a rope around Curare. When she cuts the rope with her sword, the pieces fall to her feet. However, in the next shot, the rope fragments are gone.
- Trivia: Dick Grayson is mentioned by name for the first time (he was only alluded to in "Spellbound").
- Trivia: It seems that Powers' assistant had an association with him beyond professional. She visited Powers to give him food while he hid in the submarine and appeared visibly sympathetic about his condition. Wayne also hinted Terry to follow her saying he's been able to read people since before Terry was born; revealing that he knew about the assistant's affair or infatuation with Powers.
- Trivia: It is revealed that Terry/Batman is seventeen years old.
- Trivia: Dana sees Batman for the first time (at least on screen).
- Watch when Earth Mover attacks Bill, Jackie, Terry and Dana. Bill drives away with Jackie, telling her that Dana and Terry got away. Terry flies off as Batman. How does Dana get away?
- While piloting the aircraft in the opening scene, the pilot tells Dr. Price that he wished he would have had the aircraft during the last war. Since the setting for Batman Beyond is five decades into the future, and the pilot wouldn't be more than sixty years old, there must have been a war post-2010.
- After the two pilots are run over by the Jokerz's motorcycles, they are lying on the ground almost parallel to each other. When Dr. Price's team arrives on the scene, the two pilots are lying perpendicular to each other.
- The number of petals on the flower on the lead Joker's jacket changes from six petals to seven between scenes.
- Trivia: Two dozen burgers, fries, a couple gallons of shakes, and a Big Beefer costs 60 units at the Beefee Burger restaurant.
- Dr. Price is seen in a yellow suit when she is at the location of the theft. However, she is in a blue suit when she meets Batman.
- A "T" is seen painted on the iron beam that stands parallel to the left of the billiards table in the Gotham subway station. In the remainder of the scene, the "T" is missing from the beam.
- When the Jokers confront Max, the female Joker has facepaint. After Max picks up her papers, the female Joker in the background has no facepaint.
- When Max is reading her e-mail to Terry, she says: "Terry, meet me at the Gotham Park water fountain at eight tonight to talk, or I blow your secret wide open." However, the e-mail reads: "Meet me at the fountain in the park to discuss your secret life".
- Trivia: Apparently, the GAT has replaced the ACT and SAT (General Achievement Test).
- Trivia: In the opening scene, notice that the recycling symbol is still the same.
- Trivia: As in "Heroes," Matt McGinnis is shown to be a huge Batman fan.
- Trivia: Stalker's height is revealed when Terry describes him as 6'4" and covered in tattoos to the police.
- Trivia: At the Jokerz hangout, Scab and Cole from "Joyride," the pig-tailed blonde from "Hidden Agenda," and the one with the polka dot dress from "Rebirth" can be seen.
- During Ten's first raid on the Derby, she's holding her mother's sceptor. Later, when she encounters her parents, her mother has it again.
- Trivia: The hotel suite in the Gotham Park Towers is the exact same as the suite in the Hotel Robbins, the hotel where The Royal Flush Gang stayed in "Dead Man's Hand".
- Trivia: Terry borrows Dick Grayson's old tuxedo again; we also see Max dressed up.
- The explanation that the Invulnerable Man's powers come from his mental resistance to pain seems a little thin: shamans may walk through beds of coals, but there aren't any instances of them surviving 30+ story falls!
- Trivia: Willie Watt is inmate #7725.
- When Willie crashes Nelson's convertible into the school, there is a shot with two white flags on the school's roof, and another shot with two flag poles near the steps in front of the school. However, in every other scene, there are no flags outside the building.
- Trivia: We find out that Blade's real name is Bobbi Sommer.
- There are currently no trivia for this episode.
- There are currently no trivia for this episode.
- Trivia: Max officially learns Bruce's identity (not that she hadn't already figured it out).
- Terry needs to hustle a bit more. When Mutara's brain was wiped, there was 3:45 left on the bomb. Terry makes it back to the park when the cops are there with 2:47 left on the clock. He meets up with Max to start hunting the bomb with only 1:39 left. That adds up to two hours that he could have been using to find the bomb!
- There are currently no trivia for this episode.
- Bruce said that Peek wasn't really a criminal, but ignores him blowing up the gas pipes when he had a fight with Batman in the city hall.
- Trivia: When Carl throws the eggbaby out the window, and Batman catches it and flies past him, watch closely - this is the only time you'll ever see Batman sticking his tongue out at someone.
- Trivia: The blueprints that Stalker and Batman discover on the disc at the Kobra lair reads "copyright 2031," indicating that the year is at least 2031, if not later.
- There is a scene where Batman and False Face are wrestling in a public area and False Face pushes Terry over a ledge. False Face manages to push Terry not only over a ledge, but also right through a barrier that appears to be solid concrete. Even if False Face was supposed to have some kind of super strength, the speed at which he was moving Terry should not have produced anywhere near the momentum that would be required to do such a thing.
- There are currently no trivia for this episode.
- When Eldon Michaels shows Batman an envelope that contains evidence for Harper, one of the sentries fire at the envelope and sets it on fire. However, when Batman finally gets a hold of the envelope it is perfectly fine and not burned at all.
- All except the beginning, Shriek is not wearing the device that gives him hearing, but he can hear everyone.

- There are currently no trivia for this episode.
- When the Repo Man scans each of Deanna's credit cards, he swipes the plastic part of the card through the scanner and not the black magnetic strip.
- In the scene where Inque escapes from the office, she is shown moving right through a solid glass window without it breaking.
- There are currently no trivia for this episode.
- The name of the splicing agent, 'methyl glycose', is erroneous, in that in the story it is an enzyme, but its name denotes that it is a sugar. Enxymes have names that end in the '-ase' suffix, whereas sugars end in the '-ose' suffix.
- When Superman spins Inque around everywhere, there is a goof. It shows Terry step and hold Inque on the ground. When he sees that the innocent bystander is really Superman, it shows them both in a full screen shot, but Inque has somehow vanished from the scene.
- How does Batman plan on getting back to Gotham City at the end? He turns around and walks off into the Arctic, which is kind of dramatic. However, the Batmobile has been destroyed and he has no way back! (Reply: Well, he is walking towards the crashed Batmobile. Maybe he hopes to be able to use it again.)
- Even if the possessed Superman had to wait to initiate his plan (whatever the heck it was that required calling in Batman and destroying Metropolis) until it had bred enough other starfish, why didn't it use some of the first few to take over the remaining JLU members far earlier?
- So why did the possessed Superman launch the attack on Metropolis in Part 1?
- How did Warhawk escape from his armor? The events of Part 1 seem to make that it very difficult, if not impossible, for him to have done so. And why didn't Terry see Warhawk exit his armor on the replay?

- Having a second Batsuit would make more sense. After all, in the pilot episode "Rebirth", the one Bruce wore was certainly a larger size. It would look very loose on Terry's slender frame unless it had the ability to adjust itself. There's the possibility Bruce redesigned the suit to better fit Terry after the episode "Lost Soul" if there wasn't a spare costume at the time.
- The design on the chest of Nightwing's costume is red in one scene, when it should be blue.
- In "a Touch of Curare" Gordon mentions that Dick Grayson left. Here, Gordon says Batman forced them to hang up the tights, but does that include Nightwing?
- "After escaping the Joker's laser trap close to the climax of the film, Batman orders the Batmobile computer to "search for the name Jolly Jack." Where did he get this name from? It wasn't displayed anywhere in the previous scene for him to see it, so, what, did he just suddenly think of if? You think he'd have had the idea sooner, if that's the case."
When the Joker, Woof and the Dee Dees escape from Bruce's party, their hovercraft clearly said "Jolly Jack" on the side. This is where Batman originally saw the name. It just took him a while to follow up on this lead. - After escaping the Joker's laser trap close to the climax of the film, Batman orders the Batmobile computer to "search for the name Jolly Jack." Where did he get this name from? It wasn't displayed anywhere in the previous scene for him to see it, so, what, did he just suddenly think of if? You think he'd have had the idea sooner, if that's the case.
- Tim Drake is the second Robin for this version. The character Jason Todd is not mentioned in the universe Warner Bros. Animation has created.
- The voice of Angie Harmon, who plays Barbara Gordon, is not suited for character of such an age. Stockard Channing, who played Gordon in the series, sounds very different from Harmon creating a discontinuity in the movie.
- In the opening credits, both of the Executive Producer credits are misspelled "Exectutive".
