    A prohibition against having the same fictional characters appearing in multiple DC Comics animated series in the decade of the 2000s, which caused Batman's allies and enemies save for Batman himself to be unavailable for the animated series Justice League (although Joker, Clayface and Firefly made appearances in this show) and Justice League Unlimited, and Robin to be unavailable for animated series other than Teen Titans.

    • But Robin is currently occupied in Teen Titans and I think this is a side effect of the Bat embargo affecting the DCU shows (No Bat-villains in the JLU any more for example).
    • Of course, the bat-embargo works out here since the Batman villians need to survive for Batman Beyond. ;)
