The story is based on the 1988 Batman Comics storyline "A Death in the Family," where readers voted via a 1-900 number to either save or kill off the second Robin, Jason Todd. Over 10,000 votes were cast and with only a 72-vote majority, the decision was made to kill him. Todd was later brought back in 2005 as part of the 2005 "Under the Hood" storyline.
In every flashback showing Batman, the costume has minor differences (like the yellow chest symbol and older utility belt style), which is consistent with the fact that Batman does update his equipment and costume as he regularly fights for justice.
Although Batgirl/Barbara Gordon is not in this film, she is referenced when Jason Todd mentions to Batman about "friends The Joker has crippled."
The film was originally going to be R-rated. But due to the low sales of the previous DC animated movie release, Wonder Woman (2009), and the Watchmen (2009) movie under performing at the box office with its own R-rating at the time, many Warner Bros. studio heads ordered that Bruce Timm and his animation department complete several edits to make this movie PG-13 and more accessible to children. Some action scenes were shortened, most gory scenes were removed entirely (i.e. - the severed heads of the mafia leaders was originally going to be shown instead of only being implied), and a lot of excessive blood effects were scrubbed away (most notably during Robin's death and post-death scenes).
The opening sequence in which Batman is carrying Jason's dead body out of the rubble is taken directly from the comic book.
"Jason Todd: Ignoring what he's done in the past. Blindly, stupidly disregarding the entire graveyards he's filled, the thousands who have suffered, the friends he's crippled. You know, I thought... I thought I'd be the last person you'd ever let him hurt. If it had been you that he beat to a bloody pulp, if he had taken you from this world, I would've done nothing but search the planet for this pathetic pile of evil, death-worshiping garbage and then send him off to hell! Batman: You don't understand. I don't think you've ever understood. Jason Todd: What? That your moral code just won't allow for that? It's too hard to cross that line? Batman: No! God Almighty, no. It'd be too damned easy. All I've ever wanted to do is kill him. A day doesn't go by that I don't think about subjecting him to every horrendous torture he's dealt out to others, and then... end him. Joker: Aw, so you *do* think about me. Batman: But if I do that, if I allow myself to go down into that place... I'll never come back. Jason Todd: Why? I'm not talking about killing Penguin or Scarecrow or Dent. I'm talking about *him*, just him. And doing it because... because he took me away from you. Batman: I can't. I'm sorry. Joker: That is so sweet!"
"Jason Todd: Is that what you think this is about? You letting me die? I don't know what clouds your judgement worse, your guilt or your antiquated sense of morality. Bruce, I forgive you for not saving me. But why, why on God's earth... [smashes closet door open, holding Joker] Jason Todd: ...is he still alive? Joker: [cackles] Gotta give the boy points. He came all the way from the dead to make this shindig happen. So who's got a camera? Ooh! Ooh! Get one of me and the kid first. Then you and me, then the three of us. And then the one with the crowbar. Jason Todd: [puts gun to Joker's temple] You'll be as quiet as possible, or I'll put one in your lap first. Joker: Party pooper. No cake for you."
