Development
Batman has a cameo, although to avoid legal troubles, only the bottom half of his body is shown, and he's credited as "Superhero."

Filming
The trouble alert screen uses footage recycled of Speed Buggy being chased in "High Speed Buggy Chase."

Music
The music is composed by Michael Kohler.

Behind the scenes

 * The transition scene used in Super Friends is used to bridge the scene between Phil marking his territory and Batman getting a call from Harvey at the Hall of Justice.
 * The Legion of Dance is a parody of the Legion of Doom's Hall of Doom headquarters.
 * The song in the Legion of Dance sounds just enough like Britney Spears's "...Baby One More Time".
 * Due to Peanut looking to Harvey for guidance, it is much closer to the relationship their templates had in the Birdman predecessor.
 * The month on X's calendar is January.
 * Ouweleen, Richter, and Allen provide audio commentary for this episode on DVD releases.

Home availability

 * This is free to watch on the US geo-restricted Adult Swim website.
