Trivia
- Oliver name drops Bruce Wayne at a press conference about him being a superhero dressing up. In the DC comics, Bruce Wayne is a vigilante hero known as Batman, the protector of Gotham City, a man dressed like a bat who fights against evil and strikes terror into the hearts of criminals everywhere. Batman is also a member of the Justice League and a teammate of Oliver as Green Arrow.
- Although the title to this episode was originally misleading to the viewers who think it's about one of the fallen Lian Yu victims, it possibly refers to the reference that actually came from the brainchild of Stephen Amell. Amell was surprised that it made into the final cut of the episode even though the original script was suppose to have him say a famous person. He was so optimistic, he 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. But it was during a conversation at the 2017 DC Comics’ Comic-Con soiree in San Diego between Amell, Johns, Warner Bros. Entertainment CEO Kevin Tsujihara, Warner TV President Peter Roth and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president Diane Nelson that Tsujihara finally gave the ok to the former.
- After hearing "Python", Curtis asks whether Felicity Smoak talks about a supervillian while she talks about the programming language Python. In the DC comics, Python is a supervillain and the enemy of the Sandman.
- Like the previous episode, 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 were heard performing their respective moves off-screen.
