* CreatorBacklash: According to the DVD Commentary, Mark Hamill had creative conflicts with Timm and company during the recording sessions. Hamill came in immediately going right into his well-honed, customary manic Joker mode, only to be asked to restrain the performance and tone it down to play into this being a different (albeit still manic and funny) Joker. While Hamill wasn't happy with the direction, his final performance is lauded as one of his best in the entire DCAU.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: As stated in the DVD Commentary (and previous interviews), Timm and company had strongly resisted dusting off the old Batman villains during the series. They wanted Terry to stand on his own and clash with his own original villains rather than just repeating what the creators had done on BTAS and TNBA (barring justified exceptions like Mr. Freeze or Talia and Ra's al Ghul). Once Warner Brothers commissioned a DTV Film, however, Timm and company knew they needed a storyline that would justify such a scale and scope -- and the logical storytelling avenue was thus to finally bring the Joker into ''Beyond''.
