Characters

 * Steve Gibbs as Lyle Bolton

Production Notes

 * The episode title screen features a shower door sliding closed as the words "A Dream Come True" form on it. Chocolate syrup was used to write the episode title.
 * Steve Gibbs's voice was lowered digitally to sound deeper and sterner.

Event Chronology

 * The events of "A Dream Come True" occur after "Meet Steve" and before "Hypnotized".
 * The events seen in the Future Evidence episode "He Can't Because He's Dead" occur in between the start of "Meet Steve", following after Joker ends up in Dr. Jeremiah Arkham's office and shows what happens before he kills Steve, also show how Joker ended up luring Mr. Fields to a fake meeting with the intent of killing him.

Episode Connections

 * Joker's line, "It's a compliment", was first used by him in "Arkham Bound".
 * Joker asks Dr. Quinzel if she liked her "gift", which he was seen preparing in "Meet Steve".
 * Mr. Fields was first mentioned in "Arkham Bound" as the prosecutor who was attempting to prove Joker was faking insanity in order to get him sent to Blackgate Prison.
 * Lyle tells Joker, "Last warning before you get put in lockup". Ironically, "Lock-Up" is the pseudonym he uses later in "Staff Verification", and "Lyle Lock-Up" is the name he adopts for himself throughout Season 2 of The Joker Blogs.
 * A ring is seen on Dr. Quinzel's hand at the end of the video. This foreshadows what is later revealed in "An Apple A Day", where she admits to Joker that she is engaged.

Multimedia Connections

 * Lock-Up is a DC Comics character who has expertise in incarceration tactics and procedures.
 * The Joker states District Attorneys in Gotham don't usually last very long. This ties in with Batman Begins, where District Attorney Carl Finch was murdered by the League of Shadows, and in The Dark Knight, where District Attorney Harvey Dent turned his back on the law in favor of enacting revenge on those responsible for the death of his girlfriend Rachel Dawes.
 * The way the Joker says, "I want him gone", is very reminiscent of how Heath Ledger's Joker said the line, "I want my phone call", in The Dark Knight.
