NOTES

  • Terry mentions Mad Stan. Mad Stan shows up for the first time in the episode "Rats". edit »
  • Coincidentally or not, this storyline is echoed 4 months later in JLA #43, shipping date 5/24/2000 (cover date 7/2000). In that JLA storyarc, Ra's Al Ghul disrupts first the ability to read and then speak comprehensibly, although he does so to the entire population of Earth. edit »

    Bruce: Cured him, huh? Do you believe that?
    Terry: As the guy he blames for his hearing loss, I'd say "no." edit »
