Notes[]
- The featuring of Scarecrow and Harley Quinn are an obvious influence of internet coverage of Mark Protosevich's Batman Unchained script, the cancelled fifth film in the Batman film franchise. Incidentally, with Scarecrow's appearance based on Jeff Goldblum, and Harley Quinn's appearance based on Madonna, both of whom were considered to play those roles in Unchained at one point or another. There also seems to be influence from Stephen Wise & Lee Shapiro's Batman: DarKnight Scarecrow script, in terms of Crane's weaponry and costume.
- The Riddler's appearance appears to be based on the actor and comedian Martin Short, who was once considered for the role of Mad Hatter in an unproduced Batman film.
