History ComicBook / Batman66

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: The comic's version of Two-Face bears a distinct resemblance to the young Creator/ClintEastwood, who was [[WhatMightHaveBeen reportedly considered]] to play the character in the original TV show, until the proposal for a story featuring him was [[ExecutiveVeto forbidden by executives]] who thought that his concept was too dark.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In the Wonder Woman crossover, [[spoiler:Ra's Al Ghul used the Lazarus Pits so much he's eventually deaged into a ten-year-old.]] Batman agrees with his "old chum" when he says "Holy be careful what you wish for".

* ActorAllusion: In "The Tale of the Tiger Topaz", Catwoman hums to herself a refrain of "I Want To Be Evil", a nod to Creator/EarthaKitt as this was the first time the comic depicted Catwoman in the likeness of Eartha Kitt who played her in season 3 of the original television series.

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: In "The Joker Sees Red/Batman Hunts the Dead", Robin expresses annoyance that the Joker doesn't know which person he's wronged that’s going by the Red Hopd. The Joker gives the defense that he's tormented so many people that it's hard to narrow it down.

* ViewersLikeYou: [[ParodiedTrope Parodied.]] In one story, False Face creates a tv series about Batman and Robin and plans to use it to kill the real heroes on live tv. He says it's thanks to "viewers like you" when he announces their upcoming demise.

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: In "The Joker Sees Red/Batman Hunts the Dead", Robin expresses annoyance that the Joker doesn't know which person he's wronged could be the true identity behind the Red Hood. The Joker gives the defense that he's tormented so many people that it's hard to narrow it down.

* TheAristocrats: Joker tells an Aristocrats joke during his stand-up routine in "The Joker's Big Show". We only hear the punchline, though.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Lord Marmaduke Ffogg's plan to take over Gotham City is foiled when his own fog prevents his minions from realizing they were beating up each other.

* MirandaRights: [[ParodiedTrope Parodied.]] In Issue #39, the Archer steals police equipment and gives it to criminals. After handcuffing a cop, one of those criminals tells another one to read the cop's ''wrongs''.

** When analyzing the plant toxin used on Louie the Lilac, Batman describes it as "A kiss... from a rose," a subtle nod to Seal's song "Kiss From A Rose" used in ''Film/BatmanForever''.

* GoodAngelBadAngel: The ''ComicBook/WonderWoman77'' crossover establishes that Bruce Wayne has retired from being Batman in the late 1970s because of an unfortunate tragedy where the Joker had broken into a Batcave, Alfred had a fatal heart attack from the incident and Bruce was driven by rage to outright kill the Joker. When pondering over whether he should get out of retirement, Alfred plays the part of the shoulder angel and advises Bruce that he can't keep punishing himself for what happened while the Joker serves as the shoulder devil and gloats that Bruce lost all credibility when he resorted to using lethal force on the Joker.

** For an example with a location rather than a character, Arkham Asylum is consistently referred to in this continuity as Arkham Institute.
