Notes

add »
This episode along with "The Underdwellers", "The Forgotten" and "Be A Clown" was released on DVD as Batman The Animated Series: Tales Of The Dark Knight. (edit)
The Driller very closely resembles the character of Lothar from The Rocketeer. Whether or not this was intentional is not known. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Montoya: I guess Batman must have gotten a second wind after Detective Bullock "dragged him out of the fire" . . . because he was in rare form. (edit)
Bullock: Freeze, maggots! You're all under arrest. (edit)

Trivia

add »
One has to question why a two million dollar sting was being carried out by one detective, one officer, and a rookie. Also, why were two of the three officers not on the scene until the last minute? (edit)
In Bullock's flashback, the gangster with the scarf loses his hat and doesn't bother to stop and collect it when he and his comrade flee the fire. However, when the pair are shown exiting the warehouse at the beginning of the episode, he has his hat back on. (edit)
