Batman: No Man's Land: Difference between revisions

* [[Fate Worse Than Death]] {{spoiler|Basil Karlo, AKA Ultimate Clayface, being turned into fertilizer for Ivy's plants.}}

* [[Foe Yay]]: From [[The Joker]], as usual:

'''Joker:''' Oh, [[This Is Gonna Suck]]... }}

* [[Foreshadowing]]: Harvey Dent's, er, <s> relationship</s> <s>fixation</s> <s> obsession</s> '''don't even ''[[Berserk Button|look]]'' at her!''' [[Gotham Central|with Renee Montoya.]]

** When the Arkham escapees are seen witnessing NML with their own eyes in ''Batman'' #562, all of them are wearing their inmate uniforms, and the Riddler is amongst them, when A.) They had already donned their costumes several days prior to being released from Arkham and B.) Riddler had split up with them before they'd made it to the city.

* [[Sherlock Scan]]: When Superman visits Gotham a second time as Clark Kent, Batman immediately picks apart the inconsistencies of his disguise as a resident of NML:

* [[Shout-Out]]: Luthor's plan to "acquire some real estate" can remind one of his obsession with real estate in the first [[Superman Returns|Superman]] movie. Luthor gets Bane to work for him by offering the Isle of [[Knightfall|Santa Prisca]], home of the prison where Bane grew up.

* [[Shown Their Work]]: The credits for "Underground Railroad" mini-arc mentions that the creative team got an actual martial artist to help plan out the martial arts sequences.

** Jim Gordon's [[What the Hell, Hero?]] speech to Batman reveals another wrinkle: no other police force wants him in their city, not even the ones that have other superheroes, because they don't want someone who needs an [[Batman|urban legend]] to do their policework for them.

* [[Take That]]:

* [[Talking to Himself]]: A narrative device here: Harvey Dent, early and throughout. Most visible and most jarring during his prosecution of Jim Gordon and subsequent [[Villainous Breakdown|break-down]].

* [[There Is No Higher Court]]: Apparently, simply cutting off a city with millions of US citizens in it from help is legally a-okay.

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Played straight by multiple characters; Two-Face has no problem with decking Sarah Essen-Gordon, and Bane tells his Hispanic "sidekick" that he only spared her because he needed someone to spread the word of his doings, and she posed the least threat.

* [[You No Take Candle]]: Much like his other portrayals, KGBeast speaks like this.
