* AbsenteeActor: In a possible throwback to the original series, neither Batgirl, Robin, nor Nightwing appear at all in this episode, with Batman operating solo (well, technically, he does work with Catwoman, but still.) This is the first of only four episodes of ''TNBA'' to feature Batman without any of his costumed sidekicks (the rest being "Legends of the Dark Knight"[[note]] In the main storyline at least, as Robin does feature in two of the kids' Batman stories[[/note]], "Mad Love" and "Judgment Day".)

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Played with. It's a SweetAndSourGrapes variation where Catwoman indeed mostly honors her end of the bargain for once. ''Mostly''. She promised Batman she would return everything she ever stole throughout her cat burglar career. She never said she wouldn't take what the cult had stolen. All the same, her saving Batman not only means they part ways on good terms, but she gets to retire in luxury.

* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Batman and Catwoman encounter a vicious black panther. When Catwoman tames it, it starts playfully licking her like a dog. The saber-toothed cat later on in the episode does the same thing. Though big cats do this as a sign of affection, their tongues are so rough that bare human skin will ''bleed'' from getting licked too much.
