Oh, I just remembered something interesting. The episode of Holiday Knights is actually based on a series of comics that Paul Dini and Bruce Timm did called “The Batman Adventures Holiday Special,” which is on DC Universe.
That comic has an extra story that isn’t in the episode at all that focuses on Mister Freeze. It was not used in the episode both for time, and because with what happened in the events of Batman & Mister Freeze: Subzero, it no longer fit into the show’s continuity.
Another interesting change between idea to comic to show was the Batgirl story. Bruce Timm talked about having to redo an entire page because originally, she changed into her Batgirl costume in the middle of the screaming crowd running away from Clayface. The editors asked him to change it not just because they thought it was too risque, but because it really risked her secret identity.
And of course in the episode she changes in the middle of the store, but behind a full clothes line – seemingly a compromise between the two. Personally I like the comic page better. It has more of a manic energy to it that I think really helps with the story.
Oh, and while I’m at it, the episode “Joker’s Millions” is also an adaptation of a comic, but a far older one. It’s based of the story of the same name in Detective Comics #180, which sadly is not on DCU.
