** In the Latin American Spanish dub, Victor Alcocer, who voiced the Joker in the TV series, is replaced in the film with Juan Domingo Méndez. What makes the change of actor more baffling is that Alcocer ''still'' worked in the dub of this film voicing the RFA delegate instead.
** In the [[DuelingDubs home video]] Japanese dub, only Batman (Taichiro Hirokawa) retains his voice actor from the Fuji TV dub. The rest of the voice cast were changed, with Robin going from Hiroyuki Ohta to Creator/KazuhikoInoue, Alfred from Creator/JojiYanami to Koichi Kitamura (who also voice the Joker, replacing Tamio Ohki from the TV show), the Riddler from Shinsuke Chikaishi to Creator/KazuyukiSogabe and the Penguin from Creator/ChikaoOhtsuka to Yuzuru Fujimoto.

* RecycledSet: The Penguin's submarine interiors are the Seaview sets from ''Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea'' (1964) redressed.
* StillbornFranchise: A [[http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/the-batman-godzilla-movie-that-could-have-been/ proposed sequel]] to the film would have pitted Batman against Franchise/{{Godzilla}}. The film would have been released between seasons two and three, and would have been used to introduce Barbara Gordon/Batgirl, and make use of a Batplane. Due to waning interest in the series during season two, which resulted in budget cuts, plans for a second film were scratched.
