History YMMV / BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE51TheManWhoKilledBatman

* HarsherInHindsight: The Joker's eulogy to Batman in this episode hits differently with the passing of Creator/KevinConroy in November of 2022 and [[Creator/MarkHamill Mark Hamill's]] own last respects in response, some parts of which would fit right in with it.

* OneSceneWonder: Sid "the Squid", aka The Man Who Killed Batman, appeared in just this one episode and yet he's considered one of the most popular characters in the entire franchise.

** It gets even more poignant as in February, 2023 Hamill stated in an [[https://www.cbr.com/why-mark-hamill-never-voice-joker-again-kevin-conroy/ interview]] with ''Empire Magazine'' that it is almost certain that he will never voice the Joker again as Kevin Conroy is now unavailable to play Batman.

* FridgeHorror: Yes, we get the nice cheery ending shot, but let's be honest: How long will Sidney get to enjoy his "bigshot" status before the Joker finds out the truth and has Sidney "dealt with"? Or some other random guy like the one in the bar decides to pump up his cred by shanking him?

** Creator/MattFrewer kills a Bat-themed character and earns the ire of the setting's BigBad, who's [[FoeYay obsessed]] with his victim. Said BigBad draws out his attempt to murder him as slowly as possible. [[WesternAnimation/{{Castlevania}} Twenty years and change later]], Frewer voices The Bishop of Gresit, who murdered the loved one of a [[{{Dracula}} Bat-themed character]] who ''also'' draws out his killing of him, though ultimately succeeding in killing him.

* HilariousInHindsight: Joker should consider himself lucky that Batman managed to save Sid when Joker tried to kill him with the same chemical bath responsible for his transformation considering what happens [[Recap/TheNewBatmanAdventuresE23BewareTheCreeper the next time]] he tries to kill someone that way.

** It gets even more poignant as in February, 2023 Hamill stated in an [[https://www.cbr.com/why-mark-hamill-never-voice-joker-again-kevin-conroy/ interview with Comic Book Resources]] that it is almost certain that he will never voice the Joker again as Kevin Conroy is now unavailable to play Batman.

* OneTakeWonder: Harley playing ''Amazing Grace'' via a Kazoo during the mock-funeral scene had to be done in one take because the crew who made the episode couldn't stop laughing their heads off.

* RetroactiveRecognition: Listen closely and you'll recognize Sid's voice as Creator/MattFrewer. He's been in a bunch of stuff (in the 80s, he was ''Series/MaxHeadroom''), but nowadays, he's known to ''Series/OrphanBlack'' fans as Dr. Leekie or to Creator/{{Disney}} fans as the voice of [[WesternAnimation/Hercules1997 Panic]].
