Trivia[]

  • Max Eckhardt shares a strong resemblance to Harvey Bullock from the Batman comics. However, Bullock is much more likable than Eckhardt and is one of Batman's allies (though reluctantly).
  • When Eckhardt said: "Where have you been spending your nights?", it’s likely a hint that he found out about the affair that Jack had with Alicia, and therefore told Grissom; this was confirmed in the novelization.
