Indexer Notes

Dick mentions having met Azrael before. This occurred in this continuity in the series Batman and Robin Eternal (2016). Azrael doesn't recognize him, as he is using hypnos here, and was not in that meeting.

They found a container of Joker toxin, which Harley promised to destroy. The parted ways.
