The "Riddle of the Minotaur" maze was adapted into the first stage of the Riddler level in the Super Nintendo game "The Adventures of Batman and Robin". The final challenge is the same riddle as in the episode, which the player may solve by entering the letters "H.B".
Inconsistencies[]
The Riddler's mask and gloves change from purple to grey a few times towards the end of the episode.
When Batman picks up the A key when trying to unlock the door with the sharp discs, Robin knocks it out of his hand but moments later the A key can be seen in its original place on the key rack. The keys also change from grey to gold a few times.
Outside References[]
The Riddle of the Minotaur is loosely based on the ancient Greek myth of the Labyrinth, at the center of which King Minos imprisoned his monstrous stepson, the Minotaur. Other mythological references include the Griffin.
The riddles featured in the episode contain a number of interesting references to art, literature, and science:
The phrase "the corn is as high as an elephant's eye" is from "Oh What A Beautiful Morning", a number from Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical "Oklahoma!".
Maize is a type of corn cultured by the Native Americans.
In music, the key of "A" has 3 sharps, the key of "D" has 2, and the key of "C" none.
