** Sweet Tooth mentions that, as part of his plan, he has [[Film/TheDarkKnight "rogues dressed up as hostages and hostages dressed up as rogues", as well as how little it took to push Gotham into chaos.]]

* Superman alludes to the ending of ''Film/SupermanTheMovie'' [[spoiler: which actually comes into play in the climax.]]
* Sweet Tooth offers a sadistic choice to Gotham, to be decided by Facebook poll: Either he drops a toxic lifesaver into Gotham's water supply, or allow Robin to die. This is a reference to ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily, where readers were allowed to vote whether or not Robin would be killed off.
