Hoffmann, with a bit of a wry smile, refers to the journey of the Magi (or "Wise Men") as a "star trek." (Note: This is found in the original version and early VHS release. The later Vision Video release of this program - at least the DVD version - appears to have truncated the episodes. It is possible that the version of the program for syndicated television was trimmed, and that this is the version ultimately used for the Vision Video release.)
c.
There are many elements from various Batman graphic novels, either verbatim or slightly recast. In The Long Halloween, Batman, Gordon, and Dent fake Dents death. In The Dark Knight, Gordons death is faked. Also in The Long Halloween, Batman poses as a SWAT officer. In the movie, Gordon does. The Jokers reference at the end of the film to "pushing Dent over the edge" mirrors his social experiment with Gordon in The Killing Joke, in which The Joker attempts to drive Gordon insane by making him have a really bad day. A lot of the interaction between Batman and The Joker is taken from The Long Halloween, specifically the interrogation scene in the film. Its reminiscent of the end of The Long Halloween and also is similar to elements of The Dark Knight Returns. Finally, the copycat Batmen are clearly inspired by The Sons of The Batman from The Dark Knight Returns. In addition, in The Killing Joke the Joker explains if he "had a past, it would be multiple choice." This is referenced when the Joker tells two different stories about the origin of his scars.

c.

enjoyed wearing the Two-Face makeup and warned: "When you look at him, you should get sick to your stomach. Its like you would feel if you met someone whose face had pretty much been ripped off or burned off with acid. There are fans on the Internet who have drawn versions of what they think it looks like, and I can tell you this: Theyre thinking small. Chris has gone way farther than people think."
