KNIGHTFALL: Huntress is genre savvy

[starwolf_oakley]

From Detective Comics #662. Some of the Riddler's goons are robbing the post office without the Riddler:



Plus there was that episode of The Simpsons.
"Hello. My name is Mr. Burns. I believe you have a letter for me."
"Okay, Mr. Burns. What's your first name?"
"...I don't know!"
Also, a character in the issue is named Dr. Simpson Flanders.





"I bet he never even gets tired."
Huntress says this unaware that Batman is suffering from... Well, whatever it was Batman was suffering from in Knightfall. Exhaustion. The flu. Chronic fatigue syndrome. A decade's worth of poor sleeping habits catching up with him. And he even had it in the issues leading up to Knightfall.

Here's another page from DETECTIVE COMICS #662. You might find the final two dialog boxes to be amusing/ironic/tragic, depending on your point of view.

Perhaps. Though Batman is a different brand of monster all together: he's the type that does.

That's not what the guys he goes after thinks. Or at least, not the ones outside of his more colourful rogue's gallery anyway. Joker for example sees him more as his favourite playmate.
