** Also, one of the tanks behind Galavan's shows another corpse that looks suspiciously like Jerome (though it's from the back, so it's hard to say for certain), implying that his death isn't final either.

* AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics, Matches Malone was a small-time criminal before he died (after which Batman assumed his identity occasionally as part of his crime-investigating cover), notable in that in spite of his crimes, he was non-violent and often helped defuse criminal conflicts. Here, instead, Matches has committed his first murder by age 15.
