Trivia
- True to Sheldon's prediction, Dick Grayson did in fact become Batman after Bruce Wayne's death. Specifically this happened in the twenty-one issue "Streets of Gotham" series written by Paul Dini and ran from 2009-2011.
- First appearance of the comic book store.
- Sheldon's assertion that having Bruce Wayne know who murdered his parents destroys any motivation he has for continuing to be Batman comes directly from the works of Chuck Dixon. Dixon is one of the most prolific writers of the Batman comic books, and is the creator of the villainous character Bane (who appeared in 'Batman and Robin (1997)'). His work as a comic book writer has also been referenced in 'Punisher (2001)' and 'Batman' (1992)'.
- The comic book over which Sheldon and Howard are arguing is issue #8 of "All Star Batman and Robin" with a variant cover by Neal Adams, issued November 29, 2007.
