[edit] Trivia
- The creators of Batman: The Animated Series were unable to introduce Firefly to the previous incarnation because the FOX network were scared that younger children would copy the pyromaniacal behavior of Firefly, but as The New Batman Adventures aired on WB, the show was able to introduce him at last.
- Thomas F. Wilson, who plays Howlin' Jake, previously played Tony Zucco, the man who killed Dick Grayson's parents, in the 2-part episode "Robin's Reckoning."
