* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Vincent Schiavelli (that droopy-eyed guy Milos Forman cast in many of his films) plays the Organ Grinder, while [[Street Fighter (film)|Zangief]] plays Chip Shreck. And [[Hellboy (film)|Abe Sapien]] plays the "Thin Clown." While the Cobblepots are Pee-wee Herman and [[Pee-wee's Big Adventure|his short-lived admirer]], Simone.
** The Mayor of Gotham is recognizable to fans of Robert Altman and/or Garry Trudeau as the protagonist of ''Tanner '88''.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Max Shreck is named for the real-life actor who played the vampire Count Orlock in the original film version of ''[[Nosferatu]]''.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Annette Bening was Burton's original choice to play Selina/Catwoman, but she turned it down due to her pregnancy at the time. Sean Young, still bitter over losing the role of Vicki Vale in 1989's ''Batman'', lobbied hard to secure the role as Catwoman, even going as far as to confront Burton at the Warner Bros. studios, wearing a homemade Catwoman costume.
** The character of Max Shreck was originally written for Harvey Dent (Billy Dee Williams). The film would have ended on a cliffhanger, with the explosion at the end only ''scarring'' him. And Dick Grayson was going to have a cameo; he was going to be played by... '''Marlon Wayans.'''
** The earlier drafts of the script included a few [[Continuity Nod|Continuity Nods]] to the first film, such as Bruce proposing to Vicki Vale, a souvenir store selling scraps of the wrecked Batplane and more insights to the deceased Joker.
** A later script draft revealed Max Shreck to be Penguin's older brother who left his family and fortune when his parents threw away his baby brother. This would have forced him to make his own fortune, which he obviously worked so hard on.
