10 Hidden Easter Eggs In Batman The Animated Series
10. Joel Schumacher
In an episode of The New Batman Adventures (the redesigned final season of BTAS), Joel is a young boy who lives in Gotham City. In the episode Legends of the Dark Knight, three young children are telling different stories about the Batman, with each of them depicting him in a different manner.
The late Joel Schumacher re-imagined Batman for the nineties with Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. Like them or loathe them, they have an instantly recognizable style. Young Joel in this episode, who is standing outside the shoemakers store, talks about hearing rumours that the Batman wears rubber suits and has a car that can drive up walls - both of which come straight from Schumacher's movies.
While the other children laugh at his suggestion, it is done with a good humour rather than a pointed insult. Joel had his style and it is certainly honoured here!
