4 unusual facts about Shoot a Crooked Arrow


Shoot a Crooked Arrow

In Batman's first episode of the second season, Fenton Quigley, a.k.a. The Archer, a medieval enemy of Superman modeled after Robin Hood, escapes from Police Headquarters in a moving van from the Trojan Hearse Company, driven by Maid Marilyn.

The Archer threatens to behead Alfred if he does not get the location of the Batcave, so the crime computers can be destroyed.

Batman and Robin trace the Archer to his hideout at the Earl of Huntington Archery Range (Robin Hood was the alias of the Earl of Huntingdon) in Gotham's Green Forest section, where Alfred Pennyworth attempts to divert the antagonists long enough for Batman and Robin to inspect his lair.

Alfred was known as "the William Tell of Liverpool," and is an expert with the long-, short-, and crossbow.
