[edit] Trivia
- The creators of Batman: The Animated Series were unable to introduce Firefly to the previous incarnation because the FOX network were scared that younger children would copy the pyromaniacal behavior of Firefly, but as The New Batman Adventures aired on WB, the show was able to introduce him at last.
- Thomas F. Wilson, who plays Howlin' Jake, previously played Tony Zucco, the man who killed Dick Grayson's parents, in the 2-part episode "Robin's Reckoning."
- When Batman asks Batgirl "What are you doing tonight?" she replies with "The same thing we do every night Pinky" a line that The Brain said at the end of every episode of Pinky and the Brain.
