Awesome!

"Terry could hear the sound of something being killed in the background and couldn't help being impressed by Max's ability to kill and talk casually on the phone at the same time."

The Bat-family members don't kill. Why would Terry be impressed by his would-be sidekick killing people casually?

Hmmmmm...very interesting. It is indeed a small world and I'm not thinking the last name Kyle is a coincidence. I hope you're still working on this. :)
