Plot
- This article is a stub. You can help the DC Animated Universe Wiki by expanding it.
Continuity
- The events in this film take place before the flashback in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, even though Robin is portrayed slightly older here than in the other film.
- This film marks Rupert Thorne's only appearance since the revamp.
- Sonia Alcana seems to have replaced Renee Montoya as Harvey Bullock's partner. Strangely, Sonia wears similar clothing: grey pants, black top, and a shoulder holster.
- The conversation that Barbara Gordon has on the phone with Bruce explores the relationship between Bruce and Barbara; this notion was first introduced in the Batman Beyond episode "A Touch of Curaré". Here Barbara is shown having romantic interests towards Bruce which makes him uncomfortable, also Tim and Alfred's lack of surprise implies this isn't the first time Barbara's made a pass at Bruce.
- Bruce tells Penguin the last time they met, he stole plutonium from Wayne Labs and threatened to blow up Gotham City. This happened off-screen, presumably sometime before the revamp.
Background information
Production notes
- In this movie, the Batsuit has received a slight redesign—all its black parts have received highlights, similar to Batman's Justice League design.
- Although it uses character models from the series, the animation style used in this film is slightly different to that of The New Batman Adventures.
Production inconsistencies
- During the fight between Bane and Batman aboard the S.S. Naiad Batman's leg is overlapped by Bane's face.
- Kathy Duquesne's name is misspelled "Duquesnes" on the Bat-computer.
Trivia
- The bat symbol used by Batwoman, which resembles the one used on Terry McGinnis's Batsuit and Justice Lord Batman's batsuit, is used by the current Batwoman in mainstream comics.
- The Duquesnes live in the Tarnower Building, which was introduced in the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Mudslide".
- This movie boasts the final DCAU appearances of Rupert Thorne and Penguin. It is also Bane's final appearance production-wise (chronologically, he would appear again in the Batman Beyond episode, "The Winning Edge".
- The song that plays during the Iceberg Lounge scene and the ending credits is "Betcha Neva" by the French singer Cherie from her self-titled debut album. Consequentially, she voices the unnamed and uncredited Iceberg Lounge singer.
