TRIVIA

  • When Batman rips the masks off The Joker's henchmen, they were facing him, meaning that when Batman held their masks, the the faces of the masks should've been facing him as well. However, when he held their masks, the faces on the masks were facing the camera, away from Batman. edit »
  • In this episode, The Joker wears a sort of bubble-helmet instead of the typical gas mask and his henchmen wear protective masks which look like clown masks. At other times in the series, his henchmen wear regular gas masks when he's using his standard laughing gas. edit »
  • When Alfred talks while holding the drawing of the bath, the top part of the drawing briefly disappears. edit »
  • The Joker stabs the barrel Batman's in six times in all directions, yet when it shows the barrel from the outside again all six holes are on the same side. Also, when Captain Clown tosses the barrel into the river, the holes briefly disappear. edit »
  • This is the first episode in which Efrem Zimbalist Jr does the voice of Alfred, taking over from Clive Revil, Efrem still did the voice up until his appearance on the Justice League episode "Starcrossed, Part 3". edit »
