Trivia: Apparently, Gotham City either uses the Celsius temperature system or some other unknown system. Dr Lake mentions the heat wave just reached 70, in Fahrenheit that is quite normal but in Celsius it is very hot.
Powers suggests that a biopsy be done on Fries's organs, but a biopsy is a sample taken from live tissue. Dr. Lake (being a doctor) should have known there was no need to kill Fries to perform the procedure. If the patient was dead, that would be an autopsy.
Victor: Take a good look, Doctor. I've been like this for nearly fifty years, and I haven't aged one day. I have become what many men have dreamed of: an immortal. And yet, there hasn't been a day, an hour, a minute, I haven't thought about death. It obsesses me. Even now.
(while testing water for radiation) Batman: Do you hear that? You could poach an egg in this water.
(in the park, while Powers is glowing with radiation) Doctor #1: We used an infra-red scan to find you (Mr. Powers). Doctor #2: Not that you would have been hard to spot without it.
(offering blankets) Doctor #2: We also brought these, in case you were cold. Powers: You are idiots.
Mr. Freeze: (To Batman) You had your chance. Blight: (grabs Freeze) So did you. Yeah, you feel it don't you! Right through your suit! The heat is on, Victor.
Blight: You only got a tan that time, Batman. Here comes the real burn! Mr. Freeze: Blight! (shoots Blight out of the building, then to Batman) Stay where you are. Batman: We got to get out of here, Freeze. The whole place is going to go. Mr. Freeze: Believe me, you're the only one who cares. Bruce: Terry! Get out of there now! (Freeze creates a barrier to keep Batman safe but it locks himself from escape) Batman: Freeze! No!
Batman: Who is this guy, he's like a walking meltdown! Bruce: Keep your distance. The suit will give you some protection. But it's not designed for such high levels of radiation!
Blight: Batman. Batman: And who are you, Sunshine. Blight: Blight would do. (attacks Batman) Bruce: Terry, there's something hot in that room. Batman: (struggling with Blight) No kidding!
Mr. Freeze: There's enough energy here to destroy the whole compound, Batman. I suggest you find a way out. Batman: Fries, think! This can't be what you want. You will only cause more pain, more suffering. Mr. Freeze: No, I end it. And if this goes, I go too.
Dr. Lake: (about Victor) Security's checked every meat locker, deep freezer and cryogenic plant in town. No sign of him. Dr. 1#: We never should have started this. Dr. Lake: Sometimes you find the wrong answers before you find the right ones. That's what science is all about. Anyway if he's still hiding in Gotham, he's fried. Derek: What makes you so sure. Dr. Lake: We are having a heat wave, Mr. Powers. Today, it hit 70.
Key Negotiator: Mr. Powers, it's been a long night. My clients would like to go back to their hotel and rest a little and think about your offer. Derek: Ladies and gentlemen, the buyout offer is on the table. Leave this room, I will withdraw it. (His phone rings) Powers? Batman: Amazing, the numbers people put on their speed dial. Just wanted to let you know tonight's boat ride has been cancelled. Though your goons are still going up the river. Wish you could join them. (Derek gets angry and starts to turn into Blight) Derek: (To the Key Negotiator) My friends, perhaps you were right. It is an ungodly hour, we will continue this dicussion tomorrow when we are refreshed.
Powers: Freeze? How... Mr. Freeze: It's something I've kept in cold storage.
Batman: Even if he ran away like you heard, doesn't mean he's gonna come back. Bruce: He'll be back. Count on it. He lives for revenge. Batman: Not the Victor Fries I met. Bruce: What you met was a ghost.
Mr. Freeze: Remember, there might be some...momentary discomfort.
Blight: And behold, I shall be a blight upon the land, and everything I touch shall wither and die!
(talking about Freeze) Terry: Like my mom says, he's just a guy trying to put his house in order. Bruce: It's a cold draft that blows through that house.
This episode, along with "Dead Man's Hand", "The Winning Edge", and "Golem" were released on DVD with "Rebirth" (parts one and two) a.k.a. Batman Beyond: The Movie.
Blight is introduced.
The appearance of Victor Fries was originally going to be a brief comedic scene where Bruce sends Terry to the fridge to get him something to drink, and he opens it to find Victor's head staring back at him. The producers decided that joke didn't do the character justice and wrote this story.
Michael Ansara reprises his role as Mr. Freeze.
Concludes the Mr. Freeze storyline that began in "Heart of Ice" and was continued in "Deep Freeze," Subzero, and "Cold Comfort."
This marks the first apperance of one of the original Batman villains.
Batman uses the speed dial on the dumper's phone to contact Powers. This mirrors a similar scene in Batman: TAS, where Robin used the same tactic ("Robin's Reckoning").
