* FanDislikedExplanation: A number of fans weren't fond of the mind control DNA chip plot device, thinking that Tim snapping due to his past torture and becoming the Joker entirely by himself would've been a stronger story.

* SpiritualAdaptation: In an AdaptationDistillation kind of way, the flashback sequence is a great ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily, since it hits the major beats of the Joker horribly disfiguring and traumatizing a Robin, pushing Batman to become darker and more isolated, while avoiding the story's less well-remembered parts.

The link between the two different cuts and Columbine has been debunked by Paul Dini


* OvershadowedByControversy: The film will forever be remembered for two controversial death scenes [[spoiler:(Bonk's and the Joker's)]], which were first heavily altered along with other scenes before it was released in 2000, in an attempt to tone down the violence due to being pressured by criticism from MoralGuardians and {{Media Watchdog}}s for violence in films during the fallout of UsefulNotes/{{Columbine}}; and then eventually brought back in 2002 when the {{Bowdlerise}}d version didn't help matters but only caused unrest among many Batman fans that lasted for over a year.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Compared to most of its contemporaries, and ''especially'' much of the DC Animated Universe's catalog, the film's AnimationBump from the series makes it one of the DCAU's most visually impressive entries. In fact, in the DVD commentary, the creators ''constantly'' pointed out that while they knew the animation was done by a Japanese company, they did ''not'' expect the high quality of the end result.
