Trivia / Batman: The Animated Series E13 "I've Got Batman in My Basement"

• Creator Backlash:
  • The production team regarded this as the worst episode of the series. Director Frank Paur also disliked arming Batman with a screwdriver, but had his hands full wrestling with an as yet unsatisfying storyboard crew.
    "I think that if we hadn't gotten Alan Burnett to come over, we would have had a lot more shows like this one. I had to get rid of most of these boards and start from scratch. It was very time-consuming. Our schedule was so tight, that small things got by."
  • Even Bruce Timm regrets having made it:
    "I can't even watch that show. It's the epitome of what we don't want to do with Batman. Strangely enough kids like it. The script came in and it was terrible. Normally, I tell the director to do what he can to make it interesting, and nobody could figure out a way to make it interesting. The storyboard artists didn't care, and it shows."
• First Appearance: Of The Penguin.
• Writing by the Seat of Your Pants: Because of tight scheduling, the script for the episode was re-written and storyboarded within just weeks of the deadline. Ultimately they just had to use what they could and get it shipped for animation.
