One of them refers to „Edward Nashton,” making reference to the Riddler from the New Earth who would later adopt the name Edward Nygma. Another ID card reads „Patrick Parker,” an identity that has reportedly been used in comic books for a while, though no one could recall a specific instance. The truth wasn’t revealed until Alex Jaffe, who works for the DC Comics website, tried to find out where the name originated. It turns out that „Patrick Parker” was added to the Riddler’s list of aliases on his Wikipedia page in November 2013 by an unidentified prankster. omitting the citation. Then, because it was on the internet, people began to believe that Wikipedia page (or each other) to be fact. Yet it was never.

• At the beginning of the film, Robert Pattinson says this about his Batman: „Being Batman is all Bruce can think about. He wants to toss it away and has no desire to become Bruce. He still feels guilty about being the 10-year-old boy who, in his eyes, allowed his parents to pass away. Being Batman for him is a strange form of therapy. He believes that by maintaining a state of Zen similar to Batman, when instinct is all that matters and there is no room for emotion, he may save himself. Going out at night gives the impression that he is seeking death. He always seems to want to relive the night when his parents passed away, in my opinion. In his imagination, each and every adversary he faces is the murderer of his parents.”
• Regarding the Bruce Wayne character, director Matt Reeves says: „Even the fact that being Bruce Wayne may be another type of mask is not yet clear to him. He simply isn’t mature enough to realize how important it will be yet. He might be able to utilize that as a kind of mask or garb, but he hasn’t figured any of that out yet. I was intrigued by the concept that he was at a point where he couldn’t handle the weight of the history of being a part of the Waynes.”
• The production company considered Nicholas Hoult for the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman in the event that Robert Pattinson was not interested in the part or it didn’t work out.

She also looks out for her young roommate/potential love interest, and the two are indicated to be escorts, both of which are taken directly from the comics.
