Production

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 was composed by Michael Kohler.

Release

Dates are in order of release:

United States: June 6, 2004 on Adult Swim (Cartoon Network)

Behind the scenes

The transition scene used in Super Friends franchise 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, both of which first appeared in the Challenge of the Superfriends TV series.
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.
