* TearJerker: Batman's reaction to finding out that Ms. Kitka is actually Catwoman is played surprisingly straight. He just stares off into space, trying to maintain a professional stoic facade as the weight of Catwoman's betrayal of his feelings crushes him. One could even argue this is a UrExample of Batman's history with falling for {{Femme Fatale}}s who would eventually betray him.

** Shark repellent sprays have existed in one form or another since the Second World War, where the Pacific front required the development of effective countermeasures (developed by an OSS Agent named Creator/JuliaChild.

** The ridiculous riddles that seem impossible to work out logically yet Robin seems to perfectly answer, i.e. "What sits in a tree, weighs six ounces, and is very dangerous?" ("A sparrow with a machine gun!") and "What has yellow skin and writes?" ("A ballpoint banana!") seem like BatDeduction. However, these were actually well-known riddles back in the 1960s. Absurd riddles were a huge fad, designed to subvert your expectations with completely ludicrous answers. Banana/fruit jokes, bird jokes, and elephant jokes were popular subsets of these. Bat Deduction states that such a deduction must use a huge mental leap to reach its conclusion, but these riddles weren't any kind of leap to US baby-boomers in the 1960s. Robin would've heard a ton of these riddles, especially if he was in school at the time.

The way the characters combine what the answers to the riddles mean together, however are examples of BatDeduction, as the riddles would be told by students as individual riddles, and not as a set of clues.
