Trivia / Corto Maltese

• Referenced by...: If you've never read the comics but "Corto Maltese" sounds familiar, it's because Frank Miller homaged the series with the island of Corto Maltese (an apparent stand-in for Cuba) in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Because of its appearance there, it was also mentioned in Batman, Arrow, and The Suicide Squad, leading to generations of DC fans who don't know it's a homage.
