Trivia[]

  • Ryan jokingly suggested calling Luke's superhero persona "Dork Knight", an insult typically spoken by either the Joker or Harley Quinn to Batman.
  • This is the first episode of Batwoman to feature Victoria Cartagena (Renee Montoya) and Robin Givens (Jada Jet) as series regulars.
  • Renee Montoya mentions Jim Gordon in this episode, marking the first time he has been alluded to in the Arrowverse.
    • While Montoya never explicitly referred to Gordon as the city's former police commissioner as he is in the comics, she did imply that he was in a state of power, by explaining that she didn't want her city to become "Jim Gordon's Gotham" all over again.
    • This could also be in reference to the fact that Victoria Cartagena previously portrayed Renee Montoya on Gotham, where Jim Gordon was the main protagonist.

Goofs[]

  • Ryan is revealed to have been born on May 30, 1995. However, "Fair Skin, Blue Eyes" mentioned she was 12 when she was kidnapped in 2003, so she should have been born in 1991.
    • In the synopsis of "Whatever Happened to Kate Kane?", Ryan’s age is listed as 25, implying the events of that episode took place after her birthday in May, which fits with the Season 1 finale. However, other Season 2 episodes such as "Prior Criminal History" and "Do Not Resuscitate" retconned a lot of Batwoman’s timeline regarding the events of Season 1 since the fandom regards the original airdate for "O, Mouse!", May 17, 2020, as the date of Jonathan Cartwright’s death. Furthermore, no specific date was stated in the episode.
