I don't believe the color stuff has been discussed yet.

Re: Batman and Robin - I'm a Batman fan so I'm inclined to see references to
him that might not be there (i.e. there actually is a character named
Manbat).  Then again, I wouldn't be terribly shocked if Wolfe read Batman
comics growing up, and perhaps he even reads a few now, especially as his
friend Neil Gaiman actually has a Batman story coming out in a few months.
