Caped Crusader
The Caped Crusader is an individual who believes, and has stated, that human criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot. At one point, Goliath quoted the Caped Crusader, albeit unknowingly. When Elisa Maza asked Goliath outright if he was quoting the Caped Crusader, Goliath asked if he might be of use to their cause. Elisa changed the subject. ("A Little Crazy")
Tidbits
In the apocryphal Radio Play, "Recruits", David Xanatos attempted to recruit the Caped Crusader to his new club: "Rich Boys With Big Toys".
Goliath grabbing onto a flagpole during "Awakening: Part Two" was to demonstrate a difference between the Manhattan Clan and Batman.[1] Though the concern was lessened after Gary Krisel would occasionally have the gargoyles caping.[2]
While Macbeth was to be similar to Marvel Comics Kraven the Hunter, he tended to be more like Batman. Similarities to the Caped Crusader were also made with Jason, Robyn and Jon Canmore, as well as Xanatos to a degree.[3][4]
While "Hunter's Moon" was still being considered for Direct to Video, the final battle would have taken place at a Sealand Amusement Park. There was a concern about the location due to Batman: Mask of the Phantasm having a similar fight location.[5]
