    I love how he just brings up Dr. Langstrom as if everybody knows who that is.

    Yeah, that was pretty weird. It took me a second to recognize the name Langstrom, and I’m pretty darn geeky. The audience didn’t get it, but that joke would have killed at Comicon.

    I’m guessing Jon’s been watching “The Batman” with his kids. Man-Bat has been on that show a few times.
