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.
