Another thing I noticed is that the series' religious aspect which becomes more prominent in part 4 was also present earlier with the christian sailor who rejects Jones in DMC. That film's opening scene also contains "wet powder" moment like in AWE. To bring up a different movie easter egg, I've always wondered if Chase Meriddian's line: "You like strong women, I've done my homework. Or do I need skin-tight vinyl and a whip?" from Batman Forever was a reference to Catwoman?. Because the Schumacher films mostly feel like they are separate from the previous films due to the radically different style and the lack of continuity (i.e. Billy Dee Williams turning into Tommy Lee Jones) I always assumed none of the story elements from the Burton films carried over into these. I used to take it as a comment about BDSM and the mentality behind wearing costumes, since the scene itself is already quite sensual. I used to take it as meaning that she's analyzed Batman's psyche and she thinks she knows what he's attracted to. But only recently did I think to make the connection. It's a really subtle callback, and one of the reasons why I think Forever is underrated.

Also, I (unlike most people) really like the "Holy rusted metal, Batman!" and "Wait Robin!" lines in the climax. IMO they're a very neat way of honoring the TV show and I think they totally work.
