Ripped off a scene from Mask of Zorro (1998)


Both Murietta and Bruce are at a party of high society and they both playfully insult their alter ego (“he probably wears the mask to hide his bald head” , “ a man who dresses us as a Bat clearly has issues”)

I'm pretty sure that kind of thing had been done before Zorro, hadn't it? The scene where the hero talks about his alter ego is pretty common, yeah?

reply

Where else? The scenes just seemed very similar to me

The Scarlet Pimpernel for one

Batman was inspired in part by Zorro. I'm surprised Zorro homages don't happen more often.

True

In the comics Bruce and his parents saw Zorro the night they were killed
