Line 175:
* In The Underdwellers, why does Bruce "guns are a coward's weapon" Wayne have a room filled with them?
** They're for display, probably inhereted from his family.
** That, and. He fights a lot of cowards. You have to train to deal with their weapons. To learn how to counter guns, you have to train against guns. He probably had Alfred hold one on him plenty of times to practice taking guns away from someone holding him at gunpoint, and did the same thing when training Dick and Tim. He'd also need to learn how to disable various types of guns... hitting one on the slide with a batarang might disable it, another might be completely unaffected by it, and to learn the difference he'd actually need to look at and handle both kinds.
* In "Two-Face", Harvey hits several places which all happen to have two-related names. At first, this seems to reflect Two-Face's gimmick, but then you realize that all of these places were owned by Thorne. Why would Thorne use so many "two" places as fronts? Why did Thorne hide his files with E. Doubleday? Does Thorne have a two-obsession himself?
** Two possibilities. It's either just a contrived coincidence serving as a [[Red Herring]] for both Batman and the viewer (though ironically, that red herring would quickly go on to become Two-Face's real gimmick), or Thorne controls so much of Gotham that Harvey could pick and choose targets that are both owned by Thorne and also have thematic names (partly because that's his gimmick, and perhaps also to distract the Gotham PD and Batman from his real target). He certainly did get lucky with "E. Doubleday," though.
