1* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: Sweet Tooth was thought up ''before'' the makers discovered that there was an actual (if mostly unknown) Batman villain with the same name and the same candy motif.
2* ActorAllusion
3** Joe Walker once again plays a [[Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical violent, dark, orphan character who then gets the friend they always wanted and proceeds to have major HoYay with them.]]
4** Once again, Lauren Lopez is standing on [[Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical stage with her pants down]].
5** Also, Brian Holden's good-guy characters always seem to have [[Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical friend problems]].
6* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: In a very classy move, Creator/DarrenCriss praised this show -- the first Starkid show he had no involvement in -- as having his favorite music by far of all the Starkid canon, and said Nick Gage's songwriting was far superior to what he would've come up with. He even said that he played "Dark, Sad, Lonely Knight" at the party when he received his Emmy Award.
7* PromotedFanboy: Creator/DeniseDonovan has been obsessed with Catwoman since she was a kid, so getting to play Catwoman in this show qualifies as this.
8* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Believe it or not, this show was already in the planning stages all the way back in 2009, as one of the parody musicals that Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical was originally just one example of. The Langs were initially uncertain if they'd ever get to make ''Holy Musical B@man'' if their other plans worked out, and had offered to let Joey Richter and Arielle Goldman direct it as a college show, recommending A.J. Holmes to play the Joker. Needless to say, that would've been a very different production than what we got.
9** Creator/DarrenCriss got as far as writing his own version of the OpeningChorus, which was much more in his signature pop-rock style, before his commitment to Series/{{Glee}} forced him to bow out. Darren has since said this was for the best and he greatly prefers Nick Gage's compositions to what he could've come up with.
