((SPOILER WARNING))
Homages, and references in the Batman: Caped Crusader Part 1
A thread 🧵

Episode one:
A homage to the Batman's first appearance in Batman Begins movie

Batman's suit resembling his iconic look in the Golden Age.

Alfred has a similar design to his first appearance back in Batman #16 when he was depicted as a heavy-set man called Alfred Beagle. His surname was a reference to how he was an amateur detective.

Batman's map of Gotham City in the Batcave is the same map from Adam West's Batman (1966) TV series

GCPD building is the show is the same as the BTAS police department building.

Iceberg Lounge in the show is a large ship which is probably influenced by The Final Offer (a ship owned by Penguin in the Arkham Origins)

Episode two:
Basil Karlo, the original Clayface, with an outfit that was taken from his first appearance in the golden age. His character is also inspired by the Hollywood star Douglas Fairbanks.

A reference to the Pit and Pendulum movie.

This character in this scene appears to be playing Jack the Ripper from a 1944 film called The Lodger.

Batman's fight with Clayface is straight out of Detective Comics #40, where Batman & Robin fought him on a set called Dread Castle.

Homages to the Return of Doctor x and Mystery of the Wax Museum

Episode three:
Catwoman's family house is located in Lewton Place. This is a reference to Valerie Lewton, a young girl who was saved by Catwoman and wanted to become her sidekick but was rejected. Later on, she tried to kill Selina and take her place as Catwoman.

Catwoman's iconic purple suit.

A homage to the Batman year one comic cover in this flashback.

"Kitty Car" which was introduced back in Detective Comics #122

In the final fight of this episode, Selina fights Batman with a Black Panther. In the comics, she also owned two Panthers named Diablo and Lover.

A reference to the first published appearance of Selina Kyle in comics in Batman #1

Episode four:
Gordon leaning on a spotlight that will later on become the Bat-Signal

Harleen Quinzel mentions her old College professor, Jonathan Crane, aka Scarecrow. Probably hinting at his appearance in the Second season.

Firefly in this episode prefers to be called "Firebug" a name that belonged to another Batman villain.

Episode five:
This episode opens with "King Tut" a villain who was created in Adam West's Batman (1966) TV series

Batman's microfilm newspapers provide us with a lot of easter eggs. The first one is an article about Rare Flowers which is a reference to Poison Ivy's BTAS origin.
