Trivia
- This is the first appearance of classic Batman alias "Matches Malone." Although he dies in this issue, a different version of him is seen in the "Close Before Striking" storyline, taking place in Batman #588-#590. He dies again in Batman #589. This alternate version can be easily explained by any number of reality changing events, including the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Zero Hour, or the repercussions of Superboy-Prime punching the fabric of reality.
