For starters, Robin and Batgirl are not technically employees of Batman. They are a team of *****vigilantes*****, meaning everyone in the Bat Family are volunteers, with their gadgets, costumes and equipment funded by Batman; however, no one, including the Dark Knight, are making a profit from this line of work. It also seems off to imply that Batman, who's a crusader for justice, would disregard the Equal Pay Act of 1963. While his *****vigilante***** work isn't technically legal, it's unlikely he'd also be ignoring laws in regard to the well-being of his "employees."

The writer ought to have checked Legend#410. While the Green Hornet certainly operated as a vigilante/fugitive, in the 1966 iteration, as he had on radio, Adam West and Burt Ward's duo did not.

Batman Heroes: Batman featured the fallacious Miller assertion as to deputizing. He did not say it during the documentary that you mentioned in your article.

This featurette can be found on the 2-Disc Special Edition DVD of Batman (1989), released in 2005.

Frank Miller, in an interview with Roberta Pearson published in Amazing Heroes#189 circa 1991, alluded to the badge and deputized status, so if he incurred amnesia subsequently, he should perhaps document that to claim ignorance for what he said in that documentary. The Many Lives of the Batman actually published the interview first.

The badge or a replacement also appeared in Brave and the Bold#102 and received a mention in #141.

In an article circa Wizard#30, writer Len Kaminski indicated he had considered indicating that, after Stark lost control of his first company, as Stane International, the company had helped build Sentinels. He decided not to pursue the notion. Possibly he may have alluded to this in Comics Scene#43 or perhaps #41 also.

In Comics Scene Yearbook (1994), I recall Stuart Gordon indicating he thought of adapting Iron Man.

An earlier mention of Wayne Enterprises occurs in Detective Comics #396. The tale seems an homage to Warner Bros./Seven Arts.

Batman busts smalltimer Sharf and his two henchmen (aka “The Lucky Three”), though they all wind up walking free. A few days later, Bruce meets with the studio executives of Seven-Star Pics, a major Hollywood production company. Bruce approves a Wayne Enterprises merger (i.e. buyout) of Seven-Star Pics.

Batman and Robin leave to investigate while Gordon has his back turned.

This occurs around 1969, in a retelling of a retelling of the Shadow novel Partners of Peril.

Inertron's name seems an homage to Anthony/Buck Rogers.

In 1975, the Joker got his own ongoing series, making him the first supervillain to have his own solo ongoing series (Doctor Doom had been the lead feature in Astonishing Tales briefly)...

Pedantry perhaps, but perhaps the unhelpfully named Yellow Claw merits mention? Also, what of the Frankenstein's Monster via Dick Briefer's series and/or Tomb of Dracula?

According to the comments, Two-in-One #74 a note in a letters page indicated that the two had wed.

The note in the lettercol in MTIO #74 describes them as "Diane and Walt (Stingray) Newell" which makes it sound like they were already married.

They were married in a note in the letters column?!? Sometimes major developments in supporting characters' lives happen off panel but this is ridiculous!

The Blue Beetle had a newspaper strip. This should replace the REH based strip, as REH never wrote for comic books.
