* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In the original screenplay, written back in 1976, the protagonist's name was going to be Harley Quinn (note that ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' did [[NamesTheSame not exist yet]] [[HilariousInHindsight and this was before]][[invoked]] Creator/MichaelIronside took up the other Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse role of [[WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries Dark]][[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague seid]]) and he was going to be a [[VillainProtagonist much darker character]] than Vale - it was going to start with him [[MindRape Mind Raping]] a woman in a subway on purpose, as opposed to Vale's accidental crime in the opening scene of the completed film. Also, the original setup was more like a futuristic spy film, with the US government hiring a group of scanners to infiltrate a corporation called Cytodyne and stop its army of evil scanners.
