* CompleteMonster: [[ImmortalitySeeker Shredder]] and ComicBook/RasAlGhul are the [[BigBadDuumvirate leaders]] of the Foot Clan and League of Assassins, respectively, who struck a deal in the past. Shredder would help Ra's build a machine, capable of spreading dangerous mutagen across Gotham City, while Ra's in return would provide Shredder with the location of the Lazarus Pit, which would grant Shredder immortality. Shredder, invading various corporations and killing the staff who happened to be there and stealing technology, was able to nearly complete the machine, only failing to acquire the Cloud Seeder. Hearing about the failure, Ra's Al Ghul changed their plans and took Shredder with him to invade Arkham Asylum, killing all the guards there and freeing prisoners, but not before taking the formula for Joker Venom from ComicBook/TheJoker and giving him mutagen, so that he could mutate the inmates to distract Batman and the Turtles. After Ra's hired ComicBook/ThePenguin to steal the Cloud Seeder, he and Shredder take it away, killing all of Penguin's henchmen and threatening to kill him as well when he demanded a payment. Hoping to combine Joker Venom with mutagen and create a [[PsychoSerum far more dangerous substance]], that would not only painfully mutate people, but make them [[HatePlague homicidal and extremely aggressive]], Ra's and Shredder prepare to spread this to thousands of citizens of Gotham, to create chaos and destruction, before repeating this process around the world.

* FridgeBrilliance:
** Although Two-Face's mutation into a deformed cat appears unfeasible and unnecessarily horrific, it makes total sense when one realizes that [[ShownTheirWork cats in real life are extremely rarely born with two faces]], a condition called diprosopus, with the afflicted cats referred to as Janus cats. This not only provides a plausible result of the mutagen, but also fits in perfectly with Two-Face's theme of duality.
** Some take issue that the Joker's mutation is a cobra snake, thinking that some other animal fits him better. This is because being a snake shows that he is deceitful while being a cobra specifically is because he likes poisoning people, be it with regular poison or the Joker ''Venom''. When mutated, he can now do it with actual poison on top of words and actions.
** Of course the TMNT would barge in on Batman's business. Gotham is based off New York City, so they are actually fellow city folk!!
*** Gotham isn't terribly far from New York either, as most Batman media places it on the coast of the New Jersey side of the Delaware Bay - generally a 2-3 hour commute by car. As a hot spot for crime of the street, organized, and super varieties, it isn't too far fetched for Shredder to look into resource acquisition when it's so closeby.
* FridgeHorror:
** The two universes be in the same setting rather than some alternate dimensional shenanigans raises quite a few implications...
** The mutated Mook who was a T-Rex was cured by having Robin throw ''multiple syringes into his body though his mouth''. So when his body shrunk upon being cured...

* SpiritualSuccessor: While the film [[LostInImitation still uses]] elements associated predominantly with the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 1987 cartoon]] (such as Stockman being a fly mutant), as well as forming a lot of the various [[MythologyGag in-jokes]] of the movie, the film is more stylistically similar to the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 2003]] cartoon, with its color palette, more subdued sense of humor, and darker tone.

Lacks context; not a famous scene, just gushing.

** Batman fights the Shredder one-on-one. And [[spoiler: Shredder WINS. It's only because he was feeling "merciful" that he didn't just finish the Dark Knight then and there.[[note]]Batman only really managed to wind Shredder by throwing him off a ''second-story balcony,'' though he DID disarm the villain by breaking his hand blades. Shredder mostly won by pulling out a secret martial arts technique that took Batman off guard, bloodied him, and put him down for several minutes, but weakened Shredder as well. While Shredder could've followed through, he likely didn't have the strength to defend himself if Batman managed pull himself together and fight back. His "merciful" spiel was largely just him putting on airs. ''Probably.''[[/note]]]]

** [[TheStinger The post-credits scene.]] [[spoiler:Shredder emerges from the ruins of ACE Chemicals, but something’s off about him. He suddenly starts to laugh... which then turns into a ''deranged cackle'' that sounds rather familiar. He then turns towards the camera... and gives us a SlasherSmile NightmareFace that shows that he has been ''jokerized!'']]

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: It's definitely surprising that Nickelodeon was involved with this movie given how surprisingly dark and brutal it can get, particularly with the mutations, some of the graphic imagery like Leo's Scarecrow induced hallucination of [[spoiler: his brothers dying and becoming ''rotting corpses'']], and some of the blood and swearing. Notably, Shredder ''graphically'' buries a throwing star in the forehead of ''one of his own Foot ninjas'' ([[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 NOT a robot!]]), Ra's al Ghul beheads an Arkham guard, and Shredder punches his hand blades ''THROUGH a guy.''
