* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** In pre-production, the original script was to have someone steal the cape and cowl and impersonate Batman while on a crime rampage. This would have been based on an episode of ''Series/TheAdventuresOfSuperman''.
** Creator/BruceTimm mentioned in an interview that he was originally going to have Batman show his face to Wormwood as he gives him the cape and cowl, but he changed his mind, as he does not like seeing Bruce without his mask on. Strangely enough, Bruce pulls off his mask in the next episode.

* CreatorBacklash: While the episode was based on a good story from the comics and having decent animation, the episode was considered a misfire, namely for its lackluster gimmick villain, and Batman having no real motive to play mind games with him. Director Frank Paur said:
