TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The red phone that the Commissioner uses to contact Batman has the same design and beeping tone that the one from the 1960s TV series had.

In the early 2000s, the Hughes brothers were offered the chance to direct a live-action adaptation of "The Dark Knight Returns," but the project never materialized. They wanted Clint Eastwood to play Bruce Wayne/Batman. Eastwood would've then been in his early 70s, whereas in the comic book Batman is 55.

When Batman is shot while pursuing Two Face, he is hit in the chest. In the book this reveals a section of armor beneath the bat symbol and, speaking to himself, he says this is why he has a bright yellow target on his chest - to give snipers something to aim at instead of more vulnerable places.

In the scene where Commissioner James Gordon is picking up nicotine gum in the convenience store before killing the Mutant gang member, there are other "DC Comics" titles on the magazine rack. Ones featured notably are "Swamp Thing (1982)," "Watchmen (2009)," "V for Vendetta (2005)," and "Sandman." All but "Sandman" have received a movie treatment (it has since been adapted as a television series).

For children's marketing reasons, the scene where Commissioner Gordon is smoking a cigar in the graphic novel is replaced with nicotine gum. Commissioner Gordon actually explains this, stating, "My wife made me quit the cigars."
