Line 27:
** In the graphic novel, one of the stories bundled with the main story has The Riddler noting that he could be Eddie Nash, or Edward Nygma, and several other identities. He also notes that for some odd reason, the old Batman villains (referencing the TV show) suddenly became violent, including [[The Joker]]. During his interview, he keeps swapping his various outfits, from the original TV show costume through to later versions.
* [[Rule of Funny]]: Lampshaded by the Joker, when he reassures somebody that they're in no danger from him because it wouldn't be funny to kill them right now.
** [[Sanity Slippage]]: Doesn't stop the kid from collapsing into a nervous breakdown from the perceived [[MortonsMorton's Fork|Catch-22]].
* [[Snowclone Title]]: [[Whatever Happened to The Man of Tomorrow|"Whatever happened to"-...?]]
* [[That Man Is Dead]]: Eddie Nash went away. I'm the [[All Star Batman and Robin|goddamn]] Riddler!
Line 33:
** [[Mythology Gag]]: They're the cars driven during the late 40's/early 50's versions of the character.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Bat-Mite was originally to appear in the story.
* [[Whole -Plot Reference]]: Catwoman's tale of Batman's death is pretty much lifted directly from [[Robin Hood]]. Batman points this out as evidence that it's nonsense.
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: The underlying theme of the story is that no matter the story or medium, Bruce Wayne is destined to become The Batman, and it is an ''eternal'' commitment.
