* Why is Joker's origin story altered here to Batman being indirectly responsible for Joker suffering an accident in a chemical factory that destroyed Joker's face? So that Joker would have a [[IncrediblyLamePun Bat-related vat-related]] origin story!

* Since Joker, to this day, STILL has no actual name in the comics, it seems kind of strange that, [[CompositeCharacter when he became the killer of Bruce's parents]], he didn't retain Joe Chill's name in this film... until you realize that anyone who's familiar with the comics would have picked up on the "punchline" early on, so it was necessary for Tim Burton to create a different name so as to keep the reveal hidden.

* Bruce has a suit of armor that looks like something out of a potential World War III (it's the all-enclosed one with gas-mask parts and rubber tubing coming out of the head). Assuming it's not a commission piece or part of some art installation, then in what deranged conflict did it see use in? [[spoiler: Corto Maltese, perhaps?]]

** On the other hand, Bruce's explanation about how time travel worked when talking with the two Barrys suggests that his Earth merged with Barry's when Barry ran back to change history, so it's also possible that the ''original'' version of this Earth remains intact and safe after Barry prevented his original changes to history.

* The Batmobile is equipped with a launcher that can hook a cable onto a lamppost for use as a pivot in turning corners at high speed. It looks cool, but the forces involved make it impossible to get around the turn without snapping the cable. This scenario was tested on a 2007 episode of ''Series/MythBusters'' and judged "Busted."

** Evening though this movie precedes the Disney version, Joker is somewhat like a Gaston stand-in. He may not be handsome, but he does possess a narcissism that tells him otherwise. Like the Beast and Gaston, it's him versus the Batman, and only one of them can come out alive with the girl.
