Synopsis for "Batman & Son, Part 3: Wonderboys"
- Synopsis not yet written.
Notes
- This issue is reprinted in the Batman and Son collected edition.
- This issue is part of the Morrison's Batman saga.
- Tim asks Bruce about their relationship with Damian in the picture, and Bruce insists this doesn't change anything. They're talking about Bruce's recent adoption of Tim during Face the Face.[1]
- The Spook tries to save his original lair, a reference to one of his earliest stories.[2] Robin mentions that the Spook has "turned up" again. In his previous appearance, he was sent to Arkham Asylum.[3]
- This issue reintroduces Thomas Wayne's Batman Costume into the DC Universe. It was originally presented in a story where Thomas Wayne fights Lew Moxon.[4] This becomes important later during Batman R.I.P. as Doctor Hurt wears it when he infiltrates the Batcave.[5]
Trivia
- The title "Wonderboys" is a reference to Robin's nickname as "The Boy Wonder."[6]
- Damian never sees Bruce out of costume, as his paternity has not been verified yet.
- Damian asks how the Batcave deals with methane as a byproduct of bat excrement. Batman explains that the bats have their own preserve.
- Batman owns an Xbox, and it's shown set up in Wayne Manor.
- Spook insists that his lair will be torn down "over my dead body." Hahahahaha.
- This issue includes an homage to The Dark Knight Returns. When Batman takes down one of the Spook's henchmen, his kick mimics an iconic panel drawn by Frank Miller.[7]
- Damian demonstrates the ability to perfectly mimic voices, even fooling the [batcomputer software.
