Plot Edit

Continuity Edit

• Batman says that Robin is a civilian, meaning that this episode could possiby take place after Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.
• Wonder Woman is mentioned to still be an active member of the Justice League in the 2040s.

Background information Edit

Production notes Edit

• Batman appears in his The New Batman Adventures costume, despite having appeared in his Justice League costume in the earlier episode "A League of Their Own".

Production inconsistensies Edit

• The officers of the Gotham Police Department wear Dakota PD uniforms rather than their own grey and blue.
• Coe leads Batman and Static into the Jokerz lair, but when the view pans over the waiting Jokerz, Coe is seen in the background.
• Terry has trouble remembering the name of the answering machine, calling them "those things people used to have". However, it has been shown in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker that the answering machine is still in use in the 2040s.

Trivia Edit

• When Static is traveling through time warp the first time, the Batman Beyond theme plays.
• When Static starts to tell Batman about his future self, Batman replies "I'd rather not know". He later finds out on his own time traveling adventure on the Justice League Unlimited episode "The Once and Future Thing Part Two: Time, Warped" where his future self, his successor, and Static are surviving members of the Justice League.
