This reminds me of the scene from Batman '89 where Bruce and Vicki Vale are sitting at the ginormous table and Vicki yells... "Could you pass the SALT??!"
Exactly what I was thinking. Followed by "You wanna get out of here?"
Well, if Loeb must crib ideas from other Bat-stories (as he did in this arc from the Two-Face classic "Eye of the Beholder</em>) then that was a nice one to crib.
