Trivia: The "Skyhook" system used to retrieve Lau is actually a real technology. The Fulton surface-to-air recovery system was used operationally in the 60s but eventually retired in the 90s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulton_surface-to-air_recovery_system.

Trivia: This film marks the first time an actor in a modern Batman suit could actually turn his head (the lycra 60s version notwithstanding). From the 1989 Batman through to Batman Begins, all the costumes had the same limitation - the actor's head was basically immobile.

Continuity mistake: When Bruce Wayne is talking to Alfred while having his arm stitched, in shots from the side he's looking downwards, but in other shots he's looking up towards Alfred. This keeps switching, shot to shot.
