Kaci Beeler and Deano Jones appeared live on KEYE-TV on 5/11/11 to promote the show.

The show sold out all 10 weeks of its mainstage run at the Hideout Theatre. Its mainstage run included appearances in The 42-Hour Improv Marathon and The 2011 Improvised Play Festival.

After its mainstage performances, it had its run extended for two weeks, played two special Halloween shows, and headlined the Black Box Comedy Festival in Atlanta, all in 2011.

On 2/28/13, Eric Heiberg and Curtis Luciani reprised their respective roles as Chief O'Hara and Commissioner Gordon for a Free Fringe format called "Waiting for Batman". In it, the two characters spent twenty minutes chatting and waiting for Batman to show up at the commissioner's office.
