* DarthVaderClone: Azrael. Dark clothing? Check. Face-concealing CoolMask? Check. Cape? Check. Resistant to conventional weapons? Check. TheDeterminator? Check. Heck, you can even hear his deep breathing echoing in his mask a couple of times.

* CassandraTruth: Barnes doesn't believe Jim at all when he tells him about Strange's experiments. When you tell people that fantastical are going on behind the scenes, and have repeatedly been shady with truth, the chances of people believing you are practically zero, even if you have good intentions.

** The real purpose of Azrael's sword is symbolic, simply a part of Strange's ploy to control him. Plus, there's no reason for Strange to have an actual sword-smith on his staff. The sword promptly breaks after being parried a couple times with a random piece of pipe.

He was locked up, then fought off, then ran off and Barnes was a ploy to get him up onto the roof. Jim only attacks at the last minute.

** When talking about the resurrected Galavans' rampage, she calls him as "mad as a hatter", itself an AliceAllusion.
** Strange starts using stories as the basis for the new minds he wants to tinker with for future resurrection subjects. He then reads from ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'', referencing the Mad Hatter.



** When considering using stories as the basis for the new minds of future resurrection subjects, Strange reads from ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'', referencing Bat-villains the Mad Hatter and/or Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
** Azrael's method of cutting the GCPD's power and taking out the police from the shadows is similar to how Batman operates.

* PlotArmor: Azrael breaks into G.C.P.D. headquarters specifically to kill protagonist Jim Gordon while most officers are looking for him out in the city. The only survivor of those who were still in the station at the time? That’s right, Jim Gordon.
