TRIVIA

False-Face is often assumed to be a villain created for the TV series. He actually first appeared in issue #113 of the Batman comic book. It was his only comic book appearance.
The role of Blaze was originally intended for 'Angie Dickenson'. For unspecified reasons, she was unable to appear.
The episode, as originally planned, was to feature actor Malachi Throne in a series of make-ups. Because of budgetary concerns, Throne played the role in a plastic mask, with other actors playing the disguised False-Face throughout. Because he felt that, as a result of the mask, there was no real acting on his part, he asked that his name be removed from the credits. This was done, with a question mark ("?") substituting where Throne's name would normally be, until the final credits of the second episode ("Holy Rat Race"), when his full name was shown.
