Notes2nd story: Robin in "The Parking Lot Bandit" "The Cape and Cowl Deathtrap" seems to be partially based on the plot of the episode The Thirteenth Hat from the Batman TV show; in which The Mad Hatter plans to get Batman's cowl by any means and in the process, Batman is covered with plaster to sculpt statues. "The Cape and Cowl Deathtrap" was adapted on the similar named episode of Batman: The Animated Series in 1992. The adaptation was also penned by Elliot S. Maggin.
