The car that Terry is driving resembles the Batmobile from Batman: The Animated Series.
Shriek's suit may be modeled on old Kryptonian technology seen in Superman: The Animated Series, Season 2, Episode 1 titled "Blasts from the Past: Part 1" Beginning round the 6:20 minute mark you can see a swarm of soldiers in white uniforms and helmets designed with distinct circular modules styled like the one worn by Shriek; their helmets, gloves, and chest plates have these circular modules. Around the seven minute mark, Jor-El, Superman's biological father, is seen manipulating one of these Kryptonian helmets causing it to "shriek"; the emitted sound causes the soldiers to cover their ears.
This episode marks the first time Ace helps Batman.
It is explained why Bruce never refers to Terry as "Batman" during his investigations. However, Bruce later does once in the episode "Ascension", mainly because he is publicly saved by Terry from Blight.
When Shriek is revealed to have gone deaf, there was a high-pitched ringing tone in scenes shot from his point of view, implying that he had actually acquired tinnitus as a result of the malfunction of his suit.
A wanted poster featuring The New Batman Adventures style Joker can be seen on a wall in the old police headquarters building.
In the DVD commentary, Bruce Timm says that BS&P wouldn't allow them to have Shriek explicitly tell Bruce to jump out of the window of the hospital.
