Behind the scenes
- This episode is the first time that the deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne have been depicted outside of the comics.
- Joe's name isn't said on-screen, but is used in storyboards.
- The mention of Commissioner Gordon's unnamed niece may have been a reference to Barbara Gordon, who in comics continuity at the time, had been retconned to be his niece instead of his daughter, which comics continuity has since reverted back to.
- Bruce's parents are actually just called Mr. and Mrs. Wayne in the storyboards.
- Batman punches for the first time, even though it was just the skull-shaped fear transmitter.
