Was "John Tyler," the supporting character in "The Ugliest Man In the World," published in Batman #3 (Fall 1940), named after John Tyler, the 10th President of the United States? Neither "John" nor "Tyler" are particularly unusual names. Was writer Bill Finger aware of the fact that he was using a U.S. President's name when he chose the name for this character? Was there some intentional meaning behind this choice?
