Line 4:
** That sounds more like taunting the audience to me. Also, see below.
** [[Tropers/Archduke Cthulhu|I myself]] asked him about this too and here's his reply; [http://www.formspring.me/IdiotStyle/q/194602049361448907?utm_medium=email&utm_source=notifications&utm_campaign=answered Sounds good to me]
* Just what era is Kamandi from? How does his ravaged world fit with the rest of the DC timeline? (i.e. the [[Legion of Super -Heroes]] and [[Booster Gold]])
** [[Pre Crisis]], Earth had *many* possible futures; Kamandi's was just one of them. Which was the 'real' one was never decided. Presumably that also applies here, or Batman would be more concerned about humanity's fate in the future.
** In the [[Legion of Super -Heroes]] comics they mentioned that their historic records were destroyed and scattered in the third millenim, so they really didn’t know if the Great Disaster did occur (or not) in his own continuity.
* In "Menace of the Madnicks," (spoilers ahead) Booster Gold creates an alternate timeline when he messes with the past. He goes into this dystopian future, meets up with the Batman of this time-line, and then they both go back into the past and fix the timeline. Then, at the end, they go back into the fixed future. But shouldn't there be two Batmen now, the one from the dystopian future who went through time with Gold and the one who has gone through time normally?
** Nuh uh. As seen in ''"[[Phineas and Ferb]]'s Quantum Boogaloo"'', repairing the original timeline causes the person from the second future to cease to exist. So we're back to just the one Batman.
Line 53:
* "Night of the Huntress"...[[Non-Indicative Name|takes place entirely during the]] ''[[Non-Indicative Name|day]].'' Except for the teaser, which seems to be at sundown, but it doesn't have the Huntress in it. Also, on an unrelated note, why was Warehouse X treated like a shocking discovery? The place looks like an "X." How hard was that to find? (Though for the record, the episode was still pretty good in This Troper's opinion.)
* Why is it called Night of the Huntress when it takes place in the daytime?
** It's probably just a play on the title of the movie "Night of the Hunter." And Batman's roles as "[[Heroic Epithet|The Dark Knight.]]" Several other episode titles are also [[Shout -Out|shoutouts]].
* Why was Katana with the Outsiders? Metamorpho has to live in the sewers because he's a freak, okay. Black Lightning was ostracized because of his lightning powers, kinda makes sense even though he's apparently in full control of them. But Katana's a [[Badass Normal]] with a really sharp katana, why does ''she'' has to live in the sewers? Maybe the Slug saved her from Pedobear?
** In the comics, Katana only joined The Outsiders as a debt of honor to Batman (he saved her life.) Maybe something similar happened with to her and her buddies in the show.
Line 152:
*** He said FOP.
** Since when can the Joker (any version) trade blows with Batman? Much less overcome him with a bunch of goons. I know that was the excuse for getting Bat-Mite to "help", but it could have been explained better.
*** ''[[The Batman (Animation)|The Batman]]'', actually.
**** Barehanded?
***** It was always a case of depeneding on the writer just how well Batman's rouges are able to fight him. And having Joker just turn and run doesn't make for a good action show. It happened much to often in the DCAU.
Line 160:
*** The little runt nearly destroyed the universe, and got Batman killed several times over. I'd pretty much give anything to keep him busy, and we already know he's not going to kill J-Mite.
**** No, just [[Fate Worse Than Death|make him his toy for eternity...]]
*** Bottom line is, J-Mite is a dangerous villain who ''someone'' would need to keep under control for the forseeable future. And a fellow fifth-dimensional being is almost certainly the best person equipped to do that. And if you think about it, Bat-Mite's really ''not'' going to torture him. Consider how decently and by-the-book Batman treats the bad guys on this show, and then recall that Bat-Mite [[Bio ShockBioshock|wants to be just like Mr. B...]]
** The episode also mentions Jason Todd's death as part of the greatest "Batman/Joker" moments, complete with the vote-for-his-death poll. While this was likely just part of Bat-Mite's ramblings, it still feels bad to see it referenced in a show like this.
*** About that, I was expecting Batman going Berserker or at least giving Bat-Mite a severe reprimand… but he didn’t. [[What the Hell, Hero?]]?
Line 250:
** Of course they knew.
** Uh, yeah. That's why his name's on the show.
* Why did they show a pic of {{spoiler|a fictional show of Batgirl}} instead of ''[[Young Justice (Animationanimation)|Young Justice]]'' in the final ep? It seems stupid to make one up instead of acknowledgeing a series that keeps getting screwed by CN.
** Because it was about the next Batman show, that would come after [[T Ba TB]]. YJ had already started by the time Mitefall aired, and it's not a Batman-centric show anyway.
* In "Powerless", Batman sends Captain Atom against somebody Batman goes up against "on a day-to-day basis". This happens to be Darkseid. I know Batman is very, very good, but Batman himself has only gone up against Darkseid once in this series and he got curb stomped (had Question's intervention come a few seconds later Batman would literally have died). That seems a bit...unfair.
