  • This episode is episode 18 on the Batman: The Animated Series Volume 2 DVD. edit »
  • At the beginning, when the focus is only on their hands you see Two-Face putting half and half into his tea or coffee, an obvious joke. His poker hands during the game also usually have a "pair" of twos. Also, after Joker says he wants a nice clean game, you see him cheat by pulling an ace out of his sleeve. edit »
  • Two-Face comments at the end of the story that the cops let Batman keep the penny. Now we know where that trophy came from - if only we knew where the tyrannosaurus came from (There was a T-rex robot in "Mean Season", but that's after the T-rex was seen in the Batcave). edit »

    The Joker: With exploding pumpkins? edit »
  • Batman: (to Two-Face) Here, I owe you a dollar. edit »
  • The Joker: Greeting folks! The Joker Tonight! Living proof that you don't have to be crazy to get on television. But it sure as hell helps. (Starts laughing madly) edit »
  • Poison Ivy: So what ever happened to the giant penny?
    Two-Face: They actually let him keep it. edit »
  • Penguin: Now, prepare to meet your end within my...Aviary of Doom.
    Poison Ivy: (incredulous) Aviary of what?!
    Joker: Yeesh, Pengers! How corny can you get?

ALLUSIONS

  • Poison Ivy: (referring to Two-Face) We used to date.
    This refers to the episode "Pretty Poison", when Pamela Isley and Harvey Dent (PI & TF, respectively) were engaged, just before she tried to poison him. edit »
  • Poison Ivy: And that's how I 'almost got him'.
    Joker: (sneering) With exploding pumpkins.
    The use of exploding pumpkins is a routine commonly used by both Green Goblin and the Hobgoblin, two of Spider-Man's archenemies. Ironically Mark Hamill, the voice of the Joker, voiced the Hobgoblin in the nineties Spiderman series. edit »
  • Joker:you don't have to be crazy to host this show, but it helps
    In The Killing Joke at Arkham Asylum, there's a little poster saying You don't have to be crazy to work on this place, but it helps edit »
