Lois and Jimmy are just visiting from Earth Easter Egg.So Bruce are we to believe this series is canon to the Max Fleischer Superman shorts due to Lois Lane's appearance?

Huh, I took this as him insinuating that he was gay, not racist.Also been wondering how long before we see a little racism - and there it was. Veiled but there. When Basil posted as Darryl Manning and intimating Yvonne wasn't his "type." Oof.
Good points from both of you. That makes more sense in retrospect.I'm with Millicay in that it was "Darryl" implying that he was LGBT+. Even in an accepting society there will be people who choose to be closeted. Also, keep in mind that this is the '30s / '40s, and a lot of those movie studios had those crazy "morality clauses" in actors' contracts that required adhering to strict behavior. Finally, remember that line from The Simpsons where Homer's manager with the Be Sharps wanted him to hide that he was married: "Women are going to want to have sex with you, and we want them to think they can."
Manning’s ‘She’s…not my type’ exchange with Montoya is an allusion to the Old Hollywood practice of having queer Leading Men disguise their sexual orientation
I noticed that Miss Kitty has a clipped ear, implying that she's spayed. She's a lovely girl.Manning’s ‘She’s…not my type’ exchange with Montoya is an allusion to the Old Hollywood practice of having queer Leading Men disguise their sexual orientation by being seen in public dating beautiful young starlets.
Oh, and the cat that Selina impulsively steals isn’t meant to be Hecate (I’m embarrassed to say I actually had to google her), it’s Miss Kitty. No, not Selina’s cat from BATMAN RETURNS, the beautiful neighborhood stray who adopted my wife and me six years ago. And she doesn’t collapse after Selina abandons her, she’s just nonchalantly grooming.
Fun fact: ALL of the cats in the episode are based on real-life kitties owned by CAPED CRUSADER crew members.
I meant the black panther she sics on Batman in the museum. I confused myself because Hecate was a black panther in cold open with Catwoman on James Tucker's The Brave and The Bold whereas in most appearances, she's usually a black cat.
