In the comics, Batwoman's true identity was Kathy Kane. Her name was changed to Katrina Moldoff for this appearance. This was because there was concern from DC Comics that the depiction of Batwoman in this episode would have a negative impact on the new Batwoman comic book series, the first issue of which launched less than a month after the episode's initial air date. In addition, she is never referred to as "Batwoman". She is only called either by her real name of Katrina or the "Bat Lady".
