Trivia: Among the artifacts that fall out of the crates Spalko and gang push aside in the warehouse scene is Moses's staff. Property master Douglas Harlocker modelled it after the staff wielded by Charlton Heston as Moses in Ten Commandments. Incidentally, the Indiana Jones videogame, 'Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings', is about Indy's quest for Moses's staff.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (2000)
Deliberate mistake: The device that rises out of the Jolly Jack factory and summons the laser beam shatters the decorative head, appearing to do so for the first time. However, we have already seen the destructive beam in action, meaning that device must already have emerged. This was acknowledged on the commentary by the filmmakers who wanted to show the visual metaphor of the Joker driving the young Tim Drake insane.
