History YMMV / BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE46AlmostGotIm

*** Likewise, the fact that "Croc" is really Batman in disguise seems funny given that Creator/KevinConroy voiced the real Croc in "Judgement Day".

** In Ivy's story, she was barefoot. Nowadays, it's normal to see Poison Ivy [[DoesNotLikeShoes going around barefoot]] in the comics and many adaptations since.

** Croc's "almost got 'im" story sounds absurd here, but in the later episode "[[Recap/TheAdventuresOfBatmanAndRobinE1Sideshow Sideshow]]" Croc really did "almost get" Batman this way. Had he not been injured and delirious, he likely would have killed the hero with nothing more than a rock.

* SignatureScene: Croc's infamous "I threw a rock at him" line and the other villains' corresponding reaction.

** Note the FoeYay evident in this conversation:

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Since "Killer Croc" is really Batman in disguise, some believe that Batman isn't telling a lame story to quickly move the conversation along; he's admitting what ''he'' thinks is the villainous plan almost got him the closest. And by claiming that [[BoringButPractical Killer Croc's giant rock]] is the closest, [[StealthInsult he's secretly mocking]] his RoguesGallery on the table for trying to kill their adversary with their ComplexityAddiction and elaborate {{Death Trap}}s rather than [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim relying on simple methods like throwing a rock]].

** This was the first episode which had both Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn in it, though they didn't share any scenes together. ''Nobody but nobody'' could've foreseen the significance of teaming them together later on would become.

** Two-Face's theory is that Gordon has a team of Batmen. In ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', there's a team of Batman wannabes, and some are policemen, and Two-Face is the villain in the climax.

** In Ivy's story, she was barefoot. Nowadays, it's normal to see Poison Ivy [[DoesNotLikeShoes walk barefoot]] in many adaptations since.

* AccidentalInnuendo: Note the FoeYay evident in this conversation:
--->''[The Joker, The Penguin, Two-Face, and Killer Croc are playing cards.]''
--->'''Penguin:''' So, I hear [[HeWhoMustNotBeNamed You-Know-Who]] nailed the Mad Hatter last week.
--->'''Joker:''' Yeah, he [[ReallyGetsAround sure gets around]] for just one guy.

* HilariousInHindsight: At the conclusion of Poison Ivy's story, Joker mockingly dismisses her attempt to defeat Batman using exploding pumpkins. Creator/MarkHamill would later go on to voice the Hobgoblin in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'', whose supervillain gimmick involves throwing exploding pumpkin bombs.
