Batman

Title of Book: For Whom The Bell Tolls The Bookworm: Do not ask for whom this bell tolls, it tolls for thee. The bomb left in the Batmobile was disguised as a a copy of the novel by Ernest Hemingway, For Whom The Bell Tolls, published in 1940 revolving around events during the Spanish Civil War. But this novel itself is an allusion to John Donne's Meditation XVII "No Man is an Island" which Batman himself makes reference to in the episode and which the Bookworm quotes near the end of the episode. John Donne's meaning is that death come to all humanity and is a loss to us all not just the one dying.
