Since this is definitely worth mentioning (since it's a legitimately neat visual effect detail), I've restored this under a more appropriate trope that doesn't violate the rules.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: On the DVDCommentary, Creator/BruceTimm sang the praises of the animation studio which did the episode. He noted that the script's directions said "You can suggest Freeze's bubble-helmet with a simple outline if your budget won't allow for anything more elaborate", but the studio went and added the subtle frosting around the edges of the helmet, frame by frame, at great cost, out of pocket. It's not a massively noticeable detail, especially to the untrained eye, but it gives Freeze that much more life.

Come the release of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith,'' we learn that Darth Vader had a pretty similar origin story (just replace "ice" with "fire" for his reason for wearing a life support suit), making this a retroactive ActorAllusion to Hamill's StarMakingRole.

* CryForTheDevil: Done brilliantly. Mr. Freeze is almost completely unemotional, coldhearted and willing to kill anyone who stops him from getting revenge. But his backstory shows that he was trying to save his wife Nora when a heartless exec (who's lauded as a philanthropist) destroyed the lab for wasting money, permanently altering Freeze and nearly killing his wife. The show treats him with an enormous amount of sympathy (his famous "Never again" monologue) and the target of his vendetta, while not dying, gets his long overdue justice. The episode is always rated as being one of if not the few enemies Batman has any sympathies for.
