In Other Media
The first issue of Grant Morrison's Batman Inc. series features several references to the Batman manga. Most notable among them are the inclusion of Lord Death Man, a character who appeared in the manga after initially appearing in a US Batman comic book in 1966 as simply "Death Man"; and a character named Jiro Osamu, who is likely named after artists Jiro Kawata and Osamu Tezuka.
A story inspired by the Batman manga appeared in Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode "Bat-Mite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases!", with Chip Kidd working alongside the show's creators to produce the segment. During the episode, Batman and Robin fight against Lord Death Man, a foe present in the comic.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
