The producers hired Nelson Riddle as the composer as a Stealth Pun.
..."It all adds up to a sinister riddle... Riddle-er. Riddler?"- What, is that some kind of joke? Joke... The Joker's plotting to overtake this page! Alert the Commissioner at once!
- C for Commissioner... C for Catwoman!
- This whole idea is for the birds...Birds! The Penguin is in charge!
- C for Commissioner... C for Catwoman!
The United Underworld's dehydration plot was an allegory for nuclear war.
- They (metaphorically) turn the entire world to dust. It's almost too obvious.n
Those rehydrated goons actually survived!
- Hear me out on this one. Batman stated that the goons were turned into antimatter, but since nothing... you know... exploded in a massive fireball of matter-antimatter annihilation, something must not have worked right. In the DC universe, which Batman is at least theoretically part of, there's such a thing as the Antimatter Universe, home to the Weaponeers of Qward, the Crime Syndicate, and the Anti-Monitor. We do see that it is possible to travel to there, and in some cases, your anti-matter structure will be pulled back to there without negative side-effects. So it might be possible that those thugs were simply transported to Antimatter Gotham, although given they'll probably show up in Owlman's cave... this probably isn't a great thing.
- If its an Antimatter version of 1966 Gotham....they’ll be alright.
Robin somehow sabotaged the process of separating the dehydrated delegates.
- It's an odd coincidence that the delegates ended up mixed up just as Robin suggested doing.
Aquaman sent the porpoise to save Batman and Robin's asses.
- Seeing his Justice League teammate in dire straits, the King of Atlantis used his ability to command sea creatures to force the poor mammal to pull a Heroic Sacrifice. He did it offscreen so that a) it wouldn't look like he was trying to show the Dynamic Duo up, and b) because compelling an innocent aquatic being to give up its life to save someone he doesn't even know is really shitty.
