** The opening scene showing the ill-fated Cobblepot expedition invokes ''Literature/AtTheMountainsOfMadness''. There are even mutant penguins.

** While Oliver has gathered various holy weapons to fight what's coming, the only one that proves effective is a [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail hand grenade]].

* AdaptationalBadass: Oliver Queen, who is TheChosenWannabe in the comic and gets killed by Poison Ivy, Ivy quickly, instead goes toe-to-toe with her, ultimately killing her, though at the cost of his own life.
* AdaptationalWimp: As with the comic, Bruce's young assistants are all based on Batman's sidekicks (in the comic, all three Robins at the time, and in the movie one of them is instead a girl akin to one of the Batgirls), yet they're just ordinary people and only Bruce has a secret identity and skills as Batman. This goes double for Kai Li Cain due to taking on Tim Drake's role in the comic yet being based on Cassandra Cain, as an expert martial artist she is not.

She's physically [[Characters/{{Batgirl}} Cassandra Cain]] and Cain]], with her name reminiscent of [[ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns Carrie Kelly]].Kelly]], but acting like Tim from the comic instead of being a badass martial artist like Cass is, so she's less of a direct analogue to her and more of an original character blending these various Bat-sidekicks into one.

* RaceLift: The Caucasian Jason Todd is Indian here, and appropriately renamed Sanjay “Jay” Tawde. As with the substitution of Tim Drake with Cassandra (Kai Li) Cain, the writers justified it with the globetrotting Bruce does, thus making him pick up young assistants from all over the world.

Cops are shown emptying barrels of contraband liquor into the gutter when Bruce and his party finally return to Gotham, and Gordon gives Oliver Queen a hard time for his drinking.
