History Trivia / TheBatmanAdventures

** One particular idea is that had the Red Hood arc been resolved, the Red Hood's true identity would've been revealed as Andrea Beaumont's mother Victoria Beaumont.

* OutdatedByCanon: The comic would be an official work undergoing this as it'd sometimes depict characters who'd yet been adapted into the DCAU, the most notables being issue 25 featuring Superman with his post-resurrection mullet and Lex Luthor with his "Lex Luthor II" appearance complete with a mullet of his own and a beard, and Thomas Blake appearing in ''Batman & Robin Adventures'' as Catman being a Catwoman copycat, whereas ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' used the classic depictions of Supes (short hair) and Luthor (bald and clean-shaven) and when ''TNBA'' used Blake, his "Catman" identity was AdaptedOut.

* ShoutOut: ''Gotham Adventures'' was fond of these, primarily to members of the ''Gotham Adventures'' and earlier ''The Batman Adventures''' own creative teams.
** Issue #16: Alfred is held captive at the corner of Brannon and ''Wiley'', a reference to writer Scott Peterson's wife, author Melissa Wiley.
** Issue #19: [[ItMakesSenseInContext Batgirl pretends to be]] a prairie-themed supervillain[[note]]likely another, more indirect shout-out to Melissa Wiley, then best known for writing Literature/LittleHouseOnThePrairie prequels [[Literature/TheMarthaYears The Martha Years]] and [[Literature/TheCharlotteYears The Charlotte Years]][[/note]], near the [[Creator/PaulDini Diniville]] Projects. Later, Robin, Batgirl, and Nightwing prevent a break-in at the corner of [[Literature/TheMarthaYears Morse]] and [[Literature/TheCharlotteYears Tucker]].
** Issue #20: Batgirl is apparently a fan of [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes Sugar-Frosted Cocoa Bombs]].
** Issue #40 features a twofer in the form of a chemical named Vincenzium: [[Literature/CatsCradle ice-nine]] but named after former ''Batman Adventures''/''Gotham Adventures'' assistant editor Darren Vincenzo.
** Issue #42: There's a fire at a high-rise on Parobeck Avenue, named after ''Batman Adventures'' artist Mike Parobeck.
** Issue #48 features a Seinfeld reference.
** Issue #49, in addition to the first appearance of Kim (see WriteWhatYouKnow, below), features a robbery at the corner of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devin_K._Grayson Devin and Kalile]].
** Issue #53: Poison Ivy has a vine named Gorfium Beatachonian[[note]][[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_B._Gorfinkel Jordan Gorfinkel]][[/note]], a flower named Wylium[[note]]likely author Melissa Wiley[[/note]], and a second vine named Darreniam[[note]]Darren Vincenzo[[/note]].
** Issue #55: Batman goes undercover at Hilty's Hovel, a bar named for editor Joan Hilty.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Go to the Toon Zone forums, dig up [[WordOfGod Ty Templeton and Dan Slott's]] old posts about the ideas they never got to use in ''Batman Adventures'' due to its cancellation, then find a good corner to weep bitterly into.

* WriteWhoYouKnow: The comic occasionally featured a group of comedy villains called the Threatening Three (The Perfesser, Mr. Nice, and Mastermind), who were based on real-world superhero comics creators Denny O'Neil, Archie Goodwin, and Mike Carlin, all of whom had edited the main-canon ''Batman'' comics at different times. ''Gotham Adventures'' added a villain named Kim, based off writer Kelley Puckett (who had himself written the final story featuring the Threatening Three, ''Gotham Adventures'' #13). Puckett can also be seen in issue #16 of ''The Batman Adventures,'' being fired by then-editor Scott Peterson, along with several other members of the TBA creative team.
