** Imagine if he went out of the suit in a place that’s like 10F. He’d sweat and it would freeze directly on his face. He can’t bath either, because liquid nitrogen would
break his skin off. Because he can’t breath, he probably smells pretty awful.

** While it’s executed pretty absurdly in BTAS due to being forced to suit censors, Mr.Freeze would be pretty horrific after a small time in real life. He’d likely develop gangrene and have all of his limbs rot off, which they obviously couldn’t show in the series. Eventually, [[AndIMustScream he’d be a horrific skeletal torso and head suspended in a suit]], which is worse then just being a cartoonish head in a jar.

* When I was younger, I thought Dr. Freeze just perceived temperatures at a lower level, like his version of 0F would be our 70F. But no. Pay attention to when he says he wishes he could feel the summer breeze. Mr.Freeze still perceives temperature as we would normally. It’s still just as awful for him in the suit as it would be for any normal person, he will just straight-up die if he goes outside of the thing.

* In "The Ultimate Thrill", Batgirl gets info on Roxy's location from two girls who are very obviously prostitutes. Now, Penguin is trying to run his place as a "classy" establishment, and while he does shady dealings, the prostitutes aren't dressed as high class call girls. So how did they know where Roxy was making her deals? Well, it's reasonable to assume that Roxy isn't so much concerned with gender as she is with [[BiTheWay how much of a thrill she can get with the experience.]] And she also was rumored to double for [[BiFauxnen some of the men in the movies she did stunts for.]] Maybe that's not the only place she doubled for them.

** It's also not a bad plan if you think about it. The other super-villains roll their eyes and look down on Croc for his plan, but that's because they all suffer from crippling cases of ComplexityAddiction; their plans are all elaborate and complicated DeathTrap-laden schemes that inevitably fall apart because of one little thing they didn't anticipate that lets Batman PullTheThread and unravel everything. But if you really want to whack someone, there's a reason that bludgeoning is one of the oldest forms of murder known to man; it's simple and it gets the job done. Croc isn't stupid; unlike the other villains, Croc is ''practical''. [[spoiler: And also unlike the other villains, Batman recognizes that.]]

* Joker's [[HorrifyingTheHorror reaction]] to the creeper at the end of "Beware the Creeper". At first it seems strange that the [[MonsterClown Joker]] of all people would be unnerved by another giggling lunatic. But if you compare them then his reaction makes perfect sense. While the Joker is crazy, it's a clever and focused crazy that defined by his conflict with Batman and him making the world the butt of his Jokes. The Joker is in fact more monster than clown which was observed by the second Batman, Terry [=McGinnis=], as for all his theatrics, the Jokers antics are funny to no-one but himself. Joker is the sadistic PsychopathicManchild bully that torments other people and laughs at their pain. And like any bully, can't stand when the tables are turned and someone else is picking on him. More than that, the Creeper is more clown than monster and is genuinely chaotic and all over the place crazy to the point where he doesn't regard his safety at all and has no fear. Not only can the joker not stand that their is someone else out there who can out crazy him and pick on him the way he does to others, he is absolutely terrified by the fact that the Creeper is someone who would go over the edge with no thought to consequences, where the Joker is at least restrained by self-preservation.

* In "Mad Love", there's something brilliant about Batman laughing when Harley brings up her hopes of settling down with Joker. Remember what Joker said earlier about the 'downside of comedy'? "''You're always taking shots from folks who just don't get the joke''." In a way, Batman laughing symbolically represents that despite what Joker says, he does get the joke (that is to say, he does have Harley's best interest, in his own ToughLove way).

Also, they could never show the Grey Ghost program even in reruns because it was all (supposedly) destroyed.
