  • Swamp Thing Vol 2 53
Trivia
  • *Starting the Gotham City origin, according to Alan Moore's tale, a Norwegian mercenary founded Gotham City and the British later took it over. During the American Revolutionary War, Gotham City was the site of a major battle. *The issue title references the Hieronymus Bosch triptych of the same name which depicts Paradise and Hell. Commissioner Gordon's reflections on the Swamp Thing's siege support this allusion: ::You see, he's given Gotham a taste of some sort of savage Eden. Some people out there are acting as if it's a natural-born paradise...but all I can see is a green hell. *Mayor Skowcroft alludes to U.S. President Ronald Reagan's notorious 1981 claim that trees cause pollution. Reagan's actual words were, "Trees cause more pollution than automobiles do." *Lex Luthor dismissed Swamp Thing as a "refugee from a canned sweet-corn label." This is an allusion to the General Mills mascot, the Jolly Green Giant, who represents the company's Green Giant line of frozen and canned vegetables.
