Behind the scenes

• The deaths of Batman's parents in "The Fear" was the first time their deaths had been depicted outside of what DC Comics had published. Of course, you didn't actually see them get shot, as the camera moved away from that scene, but given how Super Friends began, it's a major growth in how the series began with its squeaky clean image.
