Trivia
- A statue of Gotham City's founder Captain Jon Logerquist appears in the story "Blood In & Blood Out". While the inscription on the statue shows the correct spelling of his name, the speech balloon text for Dr. Puente strangely misspells it as "John Logerquiest".
- The statue of Captain Jon Logerquist in "Blood In & Blood Out" is based on an earlier monument to Logerquist seen in Swamp Thing (Volume 2) #52.
