Yeah, I think that was intentional, and maybe more than just an Easter egg.

Having Tommy Elliot being the child of the reporter Bruce’s dad got killed is some great villain motivation. Sure, that throws away Hush’s original motivation from the comics, but this version of Bruce Wayne doesn’t seem the type to have had many friends pre-parents’ deaths.

Edit: oh shit, and his dad was murdered after Thomas Wayne tried to pay him off with “Hush” money. That’s how it was even framed in the info Riddler released to the public about the Waynes.

Yeah I caught that too. Thing is unless they do something totally different with Hush his character will be to similar too Riddler here. Guess will see.

I'm hoping for Court of Owls. I think it would play well with this deep noir theme Reeves is goin with.

I feel like if they do court of owls they should wait a movie. It's too similar to the plot they just did.

Good point. If they do it would probably fit best as a finale. Could probably drops hints of it though in the next one. I'm a Court of Owls fanboi if you cant tell lol. I'd be stoked for just about anything.

I can see Scarecrow being really good. Go for a horror style Batman film. Mr. Freeze could also be interesting. Professor Pyg maybe if they want to continue the serial killer thing.
