History YMMV / TheNewBatmanAdventuresE12OverTheEdge

*** What is even more eerie is that fact that he was set to make an entrance from atop of the rafters as part of his potrayal of the Blue Blazer, '''a superhero gimmick.'''

** A year after this episode was released in real life, professional wrestler Wrestling/OwenHart fell to his death falling 70 feet from the rafters during a live[[Wrestling/{{WWE}} World Wrestling Federation]] pay-per-view. The date? ''May 23rd.'' The Name of the pay-per-view? ''Over The Edge.''

* HarsherInHindsight: Both ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'' and the plot for season 3 of ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', most notably, the episode [[Recap/ArrowS3E18PublicEnemy "Public Enemy"]], involve similar plot points to this episode--and in both cases, most of those were events that really happened instead of being a nightmare a character has.

* FanFicFuel: Imagine if this wasn't just a dream? It would make a nice Elseworlds story that covers the ramifications of the events that transpired within the episode.

* BrokenBase: While a number of fans consider it one of the best episodes in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' due to the episode's BadFuture premise, others found it to be one of the most overrated episodes, with issues ranging from the episode's writing (for instance, one scene has various villains appear on a talk show to announce that they are suing Bruce Wayne, claiming that [[CreateYourOwnVillain Batman was responsible for them being villains]], although [[Recap/TheAdventuresOfBatmanAndRobinE3Trial a previous episode]] had shown them realizing that they themselves would have resorted to villainy even without him), and the AllJustADream reveal causing the episode to lose its replay value to some. Others though simply consider it an interesting "what if" episode and begrudgingly accept the ending as a NecessaryWeasel.

** The ''ComicBook/BatmanBeyond'' tie-in comics show that Barbara still has some scars from this episode's ordeal, even decades later.

** Even worse still is the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' episode [[Recap/BatmanBeyondS2E14Eyewitness "Eyewitness"]], which sees Barbara herself [[spoiler:go the very extremes she feared her father would when Spellbinder makes her think Terry killed Mad Stan.]]
