Context Trivia / BatmanVsTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles

Go To

1* ActingForTwo:
2** Creator/TroyBaker plays both Batman and the Joker; they even have a dialogue scene together! (Baker had voiced one or the other in multiple past animated productions and games, but this is the first time he - or anyone else, for that matter - played both in one work.)
3** Creator/TaraStrong voices both Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.
4** Creator/KeithFerguson voices both Two-Face and Baxter Stockman.
5* CreatorPreferredAdaptation: [[https://twitter.com/JamesTheFourth/status/1128739336529297408 James Tynion IV]], who worked on the comic, gave high praise to the movie.
6* EditedForSyndication: When the movie aired on Nicktoons Network, some scenes were altered or cut. The blood from some of the fight scenes were removed, and the scene where Ra's Al Ghul murdered a security guard still has his head intact. Somewhat surprisingly, [[spoiler:the post-credits scene, which shows a Jokerized Shredder]], was removed, and on the flip side, [[spoiler:Leo's Scarecrow induced nightmare where he dreams of his brothers as rotting corpses]] was kept in.
7* ExecutiveMeddling: A minor example. According to this [[https://www.comicsbeat.com/batman-vs-tmnt-wondercon article]], one of the things Nickelodeon specifically requested was to not have anyone from the current [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles cartoon]] voice their characters. [[note]]For example, Creator/EricBauza voices Splinter in the former and Leo here, but he's reprising the role from a different project and not that series. The same goes for Creator/DarrenCriss as Raph.[[/note]]
8* MilestoneCelebration: Along with ''ComicBook/BatmanTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles III'', this film is being released during the 80th anniversary of the creation of Batman and the 35th anniversary of the TMNT's creation.
9* TheOtherDarrin: A very odd example happens in the Latin American Spanish dub: Unlike with other recent crossover movies when one or many franchises were originally dubbed in another country (mainly Mexico), the entire film was dubbed in Venezuela, including the Turtles. While this is expected with Venezuelan dubs when characters from the DCAU are involved, traditionally almost all the animated, live-action and the few videogame adaptations of the TMNT franchise has been dubbed in Mexico with Mexican voice actors since day one since the 80s, being the only exception ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIITheSecretOfTheOoze'', who was dubbed ''very badly'' in Argentina in the 90s ([[DuelingDubs and receiving a better received Mexican dub later on]]), being this film the first non-Mexican-dubbed TMNT film in basically decades.
10* PromotedFanboy: Put simply, Creator/TroyBaker was [[https://twitter.com/TroyBakerVA/status/1105671919985016832 ecstatic]] at being part of this movie.
11* RoleReprise: Many voice actors from previous DC and TMNT properties reprise their roles. They include:
12** Creator/TroyBaker reprises his roles as Batman and Joker, having previously played Bats in the ''VideoGame/LEGOBatman'' video games and ''VideoGame/BatmanTheTelltaleSeries'', while he had played Joker in both ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins'' and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanAssaultOnArkham''.
13** Creator/TaraStrong follows suit as Ivy and Harley from the ''LEGO'' and ''Arkham'' games respectively.
14** From the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles short [[https://youtu.be/jOuSCfJgpd8 Turtles Take Time And Space]], Creator/EricBauza and Creator/DarrenCriss return as Leonardo and Raphael.
15** From ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'', Creator/JohnDiMaggio returns as Mr. Freeze.
16** From ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', Creator/TomKenny once again voices The Penguin.
17** Creator/CarlosAlazraqui reprises his ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueDoom'' role as Bane.
18** Creator/BrianGeorge reprises his role as Alfred from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheKillingJoke''
19** Creator/JimMeskimen reprises his role as James Gordon from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanGothamKnight''
20** In the French dub, Franck Lorrain, Julien Allouf, Adrien Larmande and Nathanel Alimi reprise their roles as Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello from the dubs of the [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014 2010's live-]][[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesOutOftheShadows action films]].
21* WriteWhoYouKnow: [[https://twitter.com/MarlyHG/status/1258889013399711745 Marly Halpern Graser]] put some facets of his personality into Donatello, most notably his geeky side. The scenes where he and Batgirl interact are also laced with this.
