Notes

add »
Paul Dini said that he got the inspiration for writting this episode while watching The Simpsons, even though this isn't a funny episode. (edit)
The scene in which Batgirl is pushed off the building by Scarecrow is used in the Batman: Gotham City racer video game. Also used is the scene when Robin shouts: "No!" and Batman punches Scarecrow. (edit)
Was voted the second best episode of the animated Batman series in an online poll conducted in 2002 to celebrate the series' tenth anniversary. (edit)
Roddy McDowall (The Mad Hatter) and Henry Silva (Bane) reprise their roles from Batman: TAS. (edit)
This is the second episode to take a jab at Johnny Cochrane and the O.J. Simpson murder trial, the other being "Joker's Millions." (edit)
