The episode ends up as "over the edge", with Barbara waking up in Batkave with Batman (but this time Terry, not Bruce) on her side.

The "Fear Commissioner" is a good reading for "Batman over" and fans of the animated Universe of DC. "Above the Edge" is definitely an episode that those fans remember, so it has a long -term impact on Barbara makes sense; It's an episode that is important enough and loved Take sequel.

Barbara accepts Terry as Batman, as she does at the end of this story, is also an important rhythm for their characters. But while the "Fear Commissioner" is strong enough that it could have been a real episode "Batman over", it is a little too similar to the "eyewitness" episode. In that story, the villain puts Barbara in hallucination and makes her believe that Batman killed a criminal. Her mistrust of McGinnis seems to have confirmed, she puts Batman on top of the most sought after Gotham.

The "fear commissioner" is a literal sequel to "above the edge", but the "eyewitnesses" are spiritual, putting her grandmother in the role she once afraid of playing her father.
