When Pamela goes to visit Harvey, her clothes are very similar to Summer Gleeson's.
(edit)
This episode along with "On Leather Wings", "Christmas With The Joker", "Nothing To Fear" and "The Last Laugh" was released on DVD as Batman The Animated Series: The Legend Begins.
(edit)
Officer Renee Montoya makes her first appearance.
(edit)
According to Pamela Isley's Gotham University faculty ID, she is 28 years old, 5"2', weighs 105 lbs. and lives on 69 Green Street in Gotham.
(edit)
Poison Ivy is in a different outfit than in the comics, here it's more of a swimsuit, in the comics it's more like leaves covering most of her body. This was to make the animation more smooth and easy to do for the producers.
(edit)
Harvey: So, what do you think?
Bruce: Does she have a sister?
Harvey: Nope. Pam's one of a kind. That's why I ask her to marry me.
(Bruce reacts by spitting the water he drink)
Bruce: What?!
Harvey: Yep, that's the page one headline. Is it getting warmer in here?
Bruce: You're still flushed from that last kiss. Harvey, you just met her last week.
Harvey: And I already know she's the one. It's so hot in here.
Bruce: Marriage is a major step, Harv. Don't you think you're rushing it?
Harvey: No way. When I laid my eyes on Pam, it would hit me right in the face.
(Harvey faints)
Bruce: Harvey, you lost your mind. Knock it off. Harv? Harvey! (edit) Harvey: Thank you, Andre. I'm starving. Let's eat.
Isley: Shouldn't we wait for you friend?
Harvey: Bruce? Nah, he's always late. He probably got hung up on business. (edit) Poison Ivy: His fate was sealed... (applies drugged lipstick) ...with a kiss. (to Batman) And now, so is yours. (kisses Batman, then laughs as Batman loses consciousness) What's the matter? Afraid I have cooties? (edit) Bullock: So what did you put in this mousse?
Chef: Chocolate, sugar, eggs, cream.
Bullock: Strychnine?
Chef: No, no, no strychnine, but I added just a pinch of vanilla.
Bullock: (to another man) You know who did it. Talk!
Man: Hey, I just clean the dishes. Ok? (edit) Poison Ivy: They can bury me in the ground, as deep as they like. But I'll grow back, we always grow back, don't we, baby? (edit)

When Batman breaks free of the flytrap, his cape is ripped and torn. When he ducks under Ivy's dart, it's whole again, but is ripped by the passage of the dart. As he runs from Ivy, his cape is patched again.
(edit)
When Poison Ivy first appears from behind Batman, you can see that her legs are bare. In the next scene - and all the scenes thereafter - her legs are covered with green tights.
(edit)
First episode that skips a day then airs.
