I like how The Shadow is at least during the Bronze Age cannon the film that Bruce's family went to see when his parents were gunned down. Due to The Shadow being an influence on Batman's creation and The Case of The Chemical Syndicate being lifted from a plot of The Shadow. It is really a cool real world tie in.

One thing I always wondered and maybe you have the answer, Denny O'Neil is the one who moved the JLA out of the cave in Happy Harbor, Rhode Island and into a satellite 22,300 miles in synchronous orbit? I love the concept!

It reminds me of the one adage of "never meet your idols". Denny never should have met his.

Batman#401-#403 was a transitional period after Batman was allowed to have a soft reboot and react 400 in the synonymous title before going on it. I ignore most of the Jason Todd as Robin issues so I never read The Mime issue especially since I assumed it had no relevancy and was a gap filler until Year One. She was Proto-Harley? I had no idea. There was Gaggy that turned into a one-shot (before the few issue return during Dick's run as Batman). Mime would have been reoccurring? Everyone was finding there footing in 1986 so it was not Denny's fault. The whole company was rebooting everything.
