Behind the scenes

• To accomplish its goal of being a true superhero movie, it inherits the majority of the cast and crew of the TV series Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
• The past monsters who make cameos in the opening credits:
  • The Creeper from the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode "Jeepers, It's the Creeper".
  • The Zombie from the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode "Which Witch is Which?"
  • The Troll from The New Scooby-Doo Movies episode "The Caped Crusader Caper".
  • The Ghost Clown from the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode "Bedlam in the Big Top".
  • The Ghost of Redbeard from the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode "Go Away Ghost Ship".
  • The Black Knight from the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode "What a Night for a Knight".
  • The Spooky Space Kook from the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode "Spooky Space Kook".
  • The Miner Forty-Niner from the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode "Mine Your Own Business".
  • The Dyrad from The New Scooby-Doo Movies episode "The Caped Crusader Caper".
• Other Hanna-Barbera characters in the opening credits include Space Ghost, Frankenstein Jr., Mightor, and Zandor, from Space Ghost and Dino Boy, Frankenstein Jr. and the Impossibles, Moby Dick and Mighty Mightor, and The Herculoids, respectively.

Errors

• This movie presents everything in the Hanna-Barbera franchise outside of Scooby-Doo to be fictional. This greatly contradicts team-ups in the cartoon series, The New Scooby-Doo Movies, Dynomutt, Dog Wonder and Laff-A-Lympics, as well as the Scooby-Doo and Laff-a-Lympics comics from Marvel Comics, and crossovers in DC Comics (although DC was prone to go back and forth between either having the HB characters as real or fictional much like in this movie). By the end of the same year, DC had started to publish Scooby-Doo! Team-Up, having the gang help out most of the "fictitious" characters in this film.
• It's odd that the Hideous Hyde Hound did not present any malfunction after almost drowning in the Hotel San De Pedro pool.
• According to Austin, Mr. Hyde's next appearance after episode 3 of the Blue Falcon show, The Adventures of Blue Falcon, is in episode 22, when he creates the Psycho Ooze. But later on, it appears that a giant Mr. Hyde destroys the city in episode 17.
  • The back cover of the episode 17 VHS tape incorrectly reads "Episode Three".
• There are Hanna-Barbera posters on one of the walls of the Combat Bots arena, as well as on Jack Rabble's wall of his booth at the San Pedro Comic Convention at the Sheldorf Hotel.
