* CoveredUp: Harley Quinn's performance of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp6wLXj4-5A "Say That We're Sweethearts Again"]] was so hilariously (and chillingly) apt for her that many assume it was written for the show. In fact it was from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLNql9aAjf0 an obscure 1944 musical called ''Meet the People'']]. Creator/PaulDini, Harley's creator, and Creator/ArleenSorkin, Harley's inspiration and voice, were driving together through Los Angeles right after the riots and were feeling a bit nervous, so Sorkin sang the song to him to cheer him up. Dini was determined that Harley should sing it and eventually bought the rights.

* HarsherInHindsight: Harley Quinn tries to kill the Joker with a machine gun, but it turns out to be [[BangFlagGun a toy gun]], with a flag saying "RAT-TAT-TAT" popping out when she pulls the trigger. They reconcile afterwards. In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker'', [[spoiler:the Joker dies by getting shot with a not-so-fake flag gun by the brainwashed Tim Drake.]]

** This wouldn't be the last time Joker had access to a nuke... and unfortunately, the next time [[ComicBook/InjusticeGodsAmongUs didn't end anywhere near as well]].

* AluminiumChristmasTrees: Fans of the series are usually surprised to hear the song Harley Quinn sings, "Say That We're Sweethearts Again," is an actual song from a 1944 movie called ''Meet the People'', and Harley is singing the actual lyrics. It's really a comedic tune about a man trying to murder his girlfriend, who is ignorant of his disdain and just wants a happy romance.

* HilariousInHindsight: The plot of this episode involves one of Batman's most notorious enemies planning to use a nuclear weapon against Gotham City, only to be stopped when a different rogue of Batman double-crosses the main antagonist and teams up with the "Dark Knight" to thwart their destructive plan. [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises Sound familiar?]]

** The bomb dealer who gets confronted by the Joker and [[UncertainDoom subjected to his laughing gas]] was voiced by Neil Ross, who would later do a lot more maniacal laughing as the [[Characters/MarvelComicsNormanOsborn Green Goblin]] in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries''.

Eh, a lot of cartoon villains have done the whole terrorize the city with a bomb and this episode in particular plays it for laughs. It isn't that horrifying like say, Joker torturing Tim Drake.


* MoralEventHorizon: The Joker plans to set off a ''nuclear bomb'' in the middle of Gotham.
* TearJerker Harley's whole performance of "Say That We're Sweethearts Again", while somewhat PlayedForLaughs, is actually really sad, as it basically indicates she's been abused so long she's developed a sort of learned helplessness and just puts up with every cruelty the Joker inflicts on her.
