Batista guest starred in the eighth episode of Season 6 of the American drama action/adventure, CW Network television series Smallville, playing a villain named Aldar from the Phantom Zone who could suck the bones out of people.
At one point before getting into pro wrestling, Batista trained with Brock Lesnar in a gym in Minnesota. They both joined WWE´s developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling(OVW) at the same time and competed against eachother before entering the main roster.
Bautista credits Finlay for helping him the most during his rookie days in OVW in an edition of WWE's webcast Byte This in 2003.
Batista has been on the cover of Flex Magazine.
Since WrestleMania 21, Batista has used the infamous "thumbs up, thumbs down" gesture before he performs the Batista Bomb on his opponent. This is a reference to the gesture Triple H used against Randy Orton when he kicked Orton out of Evolution (leading to a brutal assault). Batista took this gesture from Triple H when he feigned signing to SmackDown!
Since WrestleMania 21, Batista often shakes the ring ropes violently before making his famous "thumbs up, thumbs down" gesture, which he has acknowledged he took from the Ultimate Warrior.
Batista currently holds the record for the longest reign as WWE World Heavyweight Champion at 284 days.
