Trivia[]

  • Oliver name-drops Bruce Wayne at a press conference regarding him dressing up as a superhero at night. In the DC comics, Bruce Wayne is the iconic hero known as Batman, the protector of Gotham City and a vigilante dressed like a bat who fights against evil and strikes terror into the hearts of criminals everywhere. Batman is also a founding member of the Justice League and a teammate of Oliver as Green Arrow.
    • The title of the episode possibly refers to the reference, which is the brainchild of Stephen Amell. Amell was surprised that it made into the final cut of the episode even though the original script was supposed to have him mention another famous individual. Amell originally reached out to Greg Berlanti about getting a Batman reference on the show. Berlanti then suggested that he should get permission from current DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns. It was only during a conversation at the 2017 DC Comics’ Comic-Con meeting in San Diego between Amell, Johns, Warner Bros. Entertainment CEO Kevin Tsujihara, Warner Bros. Television President Peter Roth, and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment President Diane Nelson that Tsujihara finally gave the permission to the Johns, Berlanti and eventually, to Amell.[citation needed]
  • After hearing "Python", Curtis Holt asks whether Felicity Smoak is referring to a supervillain while she talks about the programming language Python. In the DC comics, Python is a supervillain and the enemy of Sandman.
  • Like the previous episode, "Fallout", this episode contains another Injustice 2 easter egg, which includes Oliver and William making references to the game while DLC characters like Black Manta and Mortal Kombat character Sub-Zero (also known as Kuai Liang) were heard performing their respective moves off-screen.
  • Quentin's quip to Oliver, "I didn't have a photograph of you in flagrante de-Arrow", is a play on the Latin phrase "in flagrante delicto", which translates to "in blazing offense"; it refers to when a perpetrator is caught in the act during the commission of a crime.
  • Tetrodotoxin is the poison in fugu (pufferfish) that makes it toxic to humans unless prepared a specific way.
  • This is the first episode of Arrow to not feature a flashback storyline in any capacity.

Goofs[]

  • When Oliver refuses to allow Samanda Watson to question William, she replies, "You're aware that telling an FBI agent how to conduct their investigation is obstruction of justice?" In reality, it is not; Oliver is not required to allow his son to be interviewed unless a subpoena has been issued. If anything, an FBI agent in this context would threaten a subpoena rather than an obstruction of justice charge.
  • A photo does not need to be created with a digital camera to be printed with an ink-jet printer; it merely needs to have been converted into a digital file.
