Trivia
[1] Nicole received a nomination for Most Desirable Female at the 1996 MTV Movie Awards for her role as Chase
[2] Rene Russo was originally cast to play Chase Meridian when Michael Keaton was still attached to play Batman.
But when Michael Keaton dropped out Rene Russo was deemed to old to play his love interest and was replaced by Nicole.
[3] The character Dr. Chase Meridian was given her first name as a pun, since she spends most of the film chasing
after Batman.
[4] Chase remarks about "Or do I need skin tight vinyl and a whip" - an obvious reference to the film's prequel's
(Batman Returns (1992)) character "Catwoman".
