There are two anchors, and they both have bird-themed names. Seriously, you’re already tempting fate by calling it the Early Bird News; having further avian themes involved in your production is basically asking to be stabbed by an umbrella. I realize that it’s easy for me to say this as an outside observer, but if you’re a famous person in Gotham City, you’re going to want to have the most generic name possible, and you especially want to avoid anything having to do with birds, clowns, playing cards, cats, Egypt, eggs, the number two, days of the week, books or writing of any sort, any kind of plant, any kind of animal, music or words. Just a heads up."''
