Trivia
- The reason for the Boy Wonder's occupation change, from being a circus performer then joining the masked hero Batman to a US Government Agent, is because at the time the serials were put through strict regulations that didn't allow the ideal of a vigilante taking the law into his own hands.[citation needed]
