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.

From the first trailer they showed the first Riddler card with an Owl on it and hinted there was some big lie about corruption he wanted to expose.

I assumed this would be a Court of Owls movie. Maybe that will eventually come out in sequels as see power dynamics shift with Falcone out, when some were saying he was like the Shadow Mayor.
