References to and Quotes about
Batman (Bruce Wayne)

Captain America (vol. 1) #137 (May 1971): "To Stalk the Spider-Man", page 4, panel 6:
Falcon: "This crummy hole in the wall sure ain't no Bat Cave-- But it's better'n leavin' the bike outside -- to be pinched."

Captain America (vol. 1) #180 (Dec. 1974): "The Coming of the Nomad!", page 9, panel 8:
Steve Rogers: "I've already picked this all-weather fabric in somber tones-- so the name should be something dark-- mysterious. I hope a bat doesn't fly in my window-- --or I'll be in big trouble!"

Note: Steve Rogers considers a new heroic identity. In a sly reference to the way Batman's origin story points to Bruce Wayne's inspiration, Steve thinks: "I hope a bat doesn't fly in my window."

Catwoman (vol. 3) #80 (Aug. 2008): "Final Jeopardy, Part 1", page 5, panel 2:
The Thief: "I got rid of the guy who killed Catwoman, the Bat won't trace it back to me."
