Trivia
- All the gangs featured in this episode are allusions to minor Batman villains. While the Street Demonz and the LoBoys have direct counterparts in the comics, the Soothsayers are based on the Ratcatcher. The Undead are an allusion to the Neon Gang from Batman Forever, who also used face paint that glows in the dark to make themselves look like skeletons. Also, the Leopards are a visual nod to the Tigress, with the leader of the Leopards even using Artemis Crock's famous crossbow.
