Welp, there goes my "knowledge" of Demon lore down the drain. Although, I should've expected it.

It's rather interesting to know that Haney's work has been referenced elsewhere outside of Batman. I guess that might be because Bats has so many other (better) stories to develop compared to Etrigan, so it was only reasonable that Demon writers would reference as much past as they could. Even the undesirable parts.

That said, I shouldn't critisize Haney that much. After all, he was a Silver Age writer who endured until the late years of the Bronze Age, and while his early works are actually rather good (both in Batman & Titans), by the late 70s he was awfully outdated and maybe even burned. Same thing that happened to Bill Finger when he came up with. Never let writers go on for 20 years of doing the same sh*t...
