Batman: The Animated Series Rewind Review: The Cat and The Claw Part 2

Batman: The Animated Series Rewind Review: S01E04 Feat of Clay Part 2
 The episode was animated by a studio named Tokyo Movie Shinsha, who ironically, completely disregarded the coloring instructions they were given by the show's creators and instead created their own palette of earthy browns and reds.

Batman: The Animated Series Rewind Review Looks At S01E04 Feat of Clay
 It's never been stated by Bruce Timm or anyone that this was a direct homage, but Timm and other B: TAS creators have often cited The Outer Limits as inspiration for other episodes, so I can assume that was the case here too.

Batman
 The episode's title is believed to be inspired by a line from Cormac McCarthy's novel Blood Meridian, which reads, "in the night bats came from some nether part of the world to stand on leather wings like dark satanic hummingbirds and feed at the mouths of those flowers."
