"Batman was praised and revered, but Bruce Wayne not so much. No one knew the man beneath the cowl. You didn't let them in, Bruce, for good reason. Because even the people we love are still people at the end of the day. They act out of fear, pride, hope, pain, and sometimes, they let us down, but you know better than I do that no one can be a lone wolf forever. I have to let people in even if it's just one person and one small piece of myself at a time."
Kate Kane

Trivia

  • The Rifle mentions his employer Safiyah who has a connection with Alice. In the comics, Safiyah Sohail is the ruler of a pirate nation called Coryana, and Kate Kane’s former lover. Kate and Safiyah became lovers after Safiyah saved Kate's life during a shipwreck and nursed her back to health on her island. Safiyah and her daughter Fatima were also associated with the Many Arms of Death.
  • The plot where Julia dresses as Batwoman to convince Sophie that she is not Kate is similar with the Arrow episode "Damaged" where Diggle dresses as the Hood to convince the police that Oliver is not the Hood.
  • At the end, Mouse pulls off a mask of Jacob the same way Ethan Hunt does in Mission: Impossible. Dougray Scott plays the villain in the sequel, Mission: Impossible II.
  • Julia mentions how Bruce kept "Dino" whilst picking up a Trex model figure, a reference to in the comics and other versions of Batman he has a giant animatronic T-Rex statue in the Bat-cave as a trophy. Which first appeared in Batman #35 (June, 1946). It was a robot that Batman fought during an early adventure in Murray Wilson Hart's theme park on "Dinosaur Island".
  • Shawn Izadi, the cadet whose obstacle course record Sophie broke, is a reference to writer Natalie Abrams's friend Ashian Izadi, who was a West Point cadet.
  • Julia pretending to be Batwoman is a reference to the 1966 television show Batman, were a couple of instances when Bruce Wayne and Batman needed to be in the same place at the same time. Since Robin was too young to pose as his mentor, it left Alfred the Butler the only person who knew the Dynamic Duo's secret identities to pretend to be Batman.
