They did an homage to this in the Harley Quinn show, but it wasn’t as traumatizing.

The one with clayface's hand? I didn't know that was supposed to be an homage.

Yeah that’s the one. I think it is, Harley Quinn has been pretty good at reincorporating prior stories and plots and generally making fun of them. It’s just the animated series isn’t really meant to be funny, it’s very serious. So they took a serious moment and made it funny because it would be very out of character to have such a dark moment in an otherwise colorful bright fever dream.
