Trivia
- Batman is the second-oldest character to appear on Death Battle, debuting one year after Superman.
- Batman is the second DC comics character on Death Battle.
- Batman is also the second DC Extended Universe character to appear in Death Battle. The others being Wonder Woman, Superman, Lex Luthor, The Flash, and Doomsday
- Batman is one of two characters (the other one being Akuma) who have appeared more than four times in ScrewAttack fighting shows.
- Batman is the second combatant to return for another episode, the first being Leonardo and the following ten being Boba Fett, Samus Aran, Goku, Superman, Charizard, Shadow the Hedgehog, Deadpool, Metal Sonic, Thor and Wonder Woman.
- He is also the first combatant who has both lost and won a Death Battle, with the second being Metal Sonic, even though he was a part of Dr. Eggman's arsenal and not a full-on combatant in the first match.
- Coincidentally, both of his opponents were from the same company.
- Batman single-handedly broke two of the longest winning streaks in Death Battle history: Marvel's three wins beforehand with Rogue, Thor, and Spider-Man, and Disney's four wins against Warner Bros with its aforementioned Marvel characters and Luke Skywalker. He is the first DC comics character to win a Death battle match against a Marvel comics character.
- Ironically, his loss against Spider-Man is what gave Marvel and Disney those leads on other series/companies.
- Batman's sprite was custom made on Mugen, borrowing elements from some other professional sprites such as Cyclops.
- Batman is the second combatant to return to fight in One Minute Melee (the first was Sonic the Hedgehog, but his inclusion in Goku vs Sonic was more of a joke fight cameo). He is the first (and possibly only) One Minute Melee combatant to have a 2d and 3d fight.
- He's also the first to both win and lose a One Minute Melee, the second being Sonic.
- Currently, he is the only one with a 3D model and 2D sprite.
