* [[All There in the Manual]]: In the redrawing of character designs during the revamp between ''Batman: The Animated Series'' and ''The New Batman Adventures'', Commissioner Gordon received a newer, much thinner appearance. Fans complained heavily about the new look, saying it made Gordon look sick, and DVD commentary from the producers reveals that this is what ''they'' thought as well. The theory they had was that, some time between the two series, Gordon had some debilitating disease (Prostate cancer was named as one potential candidate) that resulted in his current, gaunt look.

** Usually Batman's real tastes in women tend to run this way when he's not playing the part of the playboy. He has an on-off flirtation with Selina Kyle aka [[Catwoman (comics)|Catwoman]], is attracted to Talia al Ghul, and has done playful sparring with Andrea Beaumont who he would have married. We'll just ignore his relationship with [[Batgirl|Barbara Gordon]] because that was weird given their age gap.
** In the crossover between ''[[Superman: The Animated Series]]'' and ''Batman: The Animated Series'', this is why Bruce Wayne falls for Lois Lane. He sees that she's not afraid to speak her mind or try to rescue innocents. As he tells a suspicious Clark Kent, Lois deserves someone that knows the person she is. Lois is also no pushover; as she tells a would-be assailant, "Daddy was a black belt."

* [[Anachronism Stew]]: [[Intended Audience Reaction|Intentionally invoked by the creators]] to make when the series takes place ambiguous. For instance, the clothing and cars are from the 1940s. The weapons are 1930-70-ish. The uniforms are from the 1960s. SWAT teams and Liebherr-style cranes exist already. The helicopters are from the 1980s. The social status of women and minorities is modern. The list goes on, too...

** Josiah Wormwood of "The Cape & Cowl Conspiracy" is essentially a prototype Riddler for the show—a deathtrap specialist who uses riddles in his crimes and has an obsession with knowing secrets and matching wits. A few episodes later, the legit Riddler made his debut.
