| Notes | Deadshot appeared last in Batman #59. This issue includes flashback to that event. This issue is the first appearance of Deadshot's new costume and weaponry. Deadshot will maintain this costume throughout the duration of his career.
This is the second time that the ghost of Hugo Strange has appeared before Rupert Thorne. The first encounter took place in Detective Comics #473.
The details surrounding Wonder Girl's emergency Teen Titans meeting is revealed in Teen Titans #53.
Bruce Wayne mentions Julie Madison as the first woman who he loved, and an editor's note statizes that it happened in Detective Comics #31. However, that issue shows the Earth-Two version of the character, where Earth-Two Batman fights the Earth-Two Mad Monk in order to free Julie Madison. Circumstances involving Earth-One Batman against the Earth-One Mad Monk were different, without Julie's participation, not to mention that said encounter between Batman and the Mad Monk hadn't happened yet in the Earth-One timeline.
Trivia:
There are several nods to past DC creators in this issue. The Fox Gardens restaurant is named after writer Gardner Fox. Weisinger Officer Suppliers (the ones who created the Giant Typewriter) is named for editor Mort Weisinger and the Ellsworth Building is named for Whitney Ellsworth. |
