Notes[]

  • In the comics Thomas Wayne was never a district attorney for Gotham City. This was done to show Thomas as more of a hero, like his son, trying to take down Lew Moxon and the mob. In the comics Moxon was shot in the arm and abducted Thomas, who was a doctor, and ordered him to remove a bullet from his arm. Thomas was able to escape later telling the police where Moxon was hiding. The police then arrived and arrested Lew Moxon. However, Moxon later hired Joe Chill to kill Thomas Wayne as revenge.
  • Most of the cast in this episode had previously appeared in Batman: The Animated Series or its spin off The New Batman Adventures.
