Storyline:In the Riddler""s Control Center, Batman was presented by the power-crazed Riddler with a choice of saving one or the other from a "watery grave" ("Which one will it be, Batman? Bruce""s love? Or the Dark Knight""s junior partner?") but the super-hero saved both Robin and Chase after tossing his Batarang at the antenna on the Riddler""s brainwave-sucking device - destroying it and warping the Riddler""s brain at the same time.Rossen""s shattering experience of naming names in the 1950s HUAC hearings (after being blacklisted and then recanting two years later) influenced his writing for this film - the low-life, bruised film hero is both self-hating and cowardly."Max" had been able to contact someone on the inside, and had gotten "himself in a position to buy our NOC list." Shortly after Peter walked away to wait in the car for the trip back to NYC, reporters in a back room emerged as they awaited the big announcement.Feisal: You want me to fall back on the Yenbo.Brighton: Well, you""re not doing much good here, sir.I""m sorry to rub it in, sir, but we can""t supply you here.Feisal: You could supply us through Aqaba.Brighton: Aqaba?

Ha!Brighton believes the Arab guerrilla tribes should retreat to Yenbo because they need discipline, training by European officers (and ultimately absorption into the regular British forces), and equipment: "a modern rifle for every man.
