Did you know

• The VHS and DVD release was originally named "Batman Beyond: The Movie", which is a bit of a misnomer, as it isn't so much a movie as it is a collection of six episodes from the first season of Batman Beyond (1999). It contains "The Movie", which is really a merging of the two-part series opener called "Rebirth". At around 45 minutes without commercials, one could hardly call that a feature-length movie. Four other episodes trail the origin - "Golem" (misnamed "Gotham Golem" on the case), "The Winning Edge", "Dead Man's Hand", and "Meltdown" - none of them tying in much to each other, save for the same basic premise as spun off from the origin in the first episode. Later DVD releases eliminate "The Movie" from the title on the case and proclaim "6 Exciting Action-Packed Episodes" on the cover.

• The high school, Hamilton Hill High, is named for Mayor Hamilton Hill from Batman: The Animated Series (1992).

• The scene were Batman lands at a flagpole by grabbing it and spinning around it until he comes to a stop is a parody of an animation cycle in the 1960s Spider-Man series, but that hero makes a perfect landing, while Batman loses his grip and almost falls off the building.
