* [[Actor Allusion]]: A subtle one: [[The Joker]] attempts to force Mr. Freeze to develop a cure for him by holding his wife hostage. [[The Joker]] is voiced by [[Mark Hamill]], whose first voice in ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' was Ferris Boyle, the guy responsible for Mr. Freeze, and Hamill's performance as him also landed him with his voicing [[The Joker]] in that series.
* [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]: Many have misquoted or misinterpreted Mark Hamill as saying this game will be the last time he plays The Joker. He clarified that what he meant was he wouldn't continue playing The Joker if he felt that he couldn't top his performance, he wanted to leave on a high note. He has since played the Joker again on multiple occasions.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Kevin Conroy]] and [[Mark Hamill]] are again reprising the roles of [[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman and the Joker]]. Likewise, [[Tom Kane]], Kimberly Brooks, Wally Wingert, Tasia Valenza, [[Fred Tatasciore]], Danny Jacobs, Steve Blum and James Horan reprise their respective roles from [[Batman: Arkham Asylum|the first game]] as Quincy Sharp, Oracle, the Riddler, Poison Ivy, Bane, Zsasz, Croc and [[The Creeper|Jack Ryder]]. Though Tom doesn't reprise the role of Commissioner Gordon and Fred gets double duty as the voice of Solomon Grundy.
* [[Development Gag]]: At one point, Batman overhears thugs talking about the rumor that Harley Quinn used to be a man. Harley Quinn was actually motion-captured by a man, and they even released a [http://www.geekologie.com/2011/09/oh-shishi-its-sexy-time-harley-quinns-mo.php fake reveal trailer] to tease fans about it.
