Notes

add »
This episode was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Direction and Composition. (edit)
Bill Finger is credited in the beginning as one of the sources for this episode. Not only did Finger write many Batman stories, he actually helped Bob Kane create numerous aspects about the Dark Knight and his rogues gallery. Kane attests to as much in his autobiography, "Batman and Me." (edit)
Carrie is also the name of the girl who became Robin in Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns". (edit)
The voice of the 50's Batman, Gary Owens, was also the narrator of the 1966 re-release of the 1943 serial classic The Batman. (edit)
While the three teenagers are running around, they meet a kid named "Joel" who has long hair and is seen stroking a feather boa in a department store window with a sign that says "Shoemaker." He mentions "tight rubber armor" as well as claiming the Batmobile can go up walls. This is an obvious jab at Joel Schumacher, whom many Batman fans believe to have completely ruined the Batman franchise with Batman Forever and Batman and Robin. (edit)

80's Batman: You still don't get it, son. This isn't a trash heap, it's an operating table. And I'm the surgeon! (edit)

Legends of the Dark Knight
"Series classic"
This is the reason it should be brought back, and "The Batman" should be taken off.
