PSA and Opt In/Out

Billy has taken his pop culture skill! What that means is that he may recognize characters from Western TV shows and movies (especially science fiction and fantasy), book characters by name only, and comic book stuff that isn't Marvel. Billy's knowledge is very up to date, and he knows all kinds of obscure things. For anime/manga, he'll know the popular stuff, but probably not recognize more obscure things.

Opt In/Out Part:
Option 1 - Total Opt Out (Billy will never recognize your character)
Option 2 - Total Opt In (Everything up to 4th walling is cool)
Option 3 - Middle Ground (This is where dropping a comment would be awesome)

I'm imaging middle ground as being anything from it's cool to recognize characters but not 4th wall them or tell them about their future . . . to it's okay if Billy knows them, but never ever mention it to them. If I hear nothing from you, I'm assuming a total opt out. Either way, I will always ask before I do anything and please poke me if I go beyond what you're comfortable with by accident.

Chances are if there are Batman references, there's a franchise somewhere...

DC drops mentions of Marvel all the time, so I just assume that the treat each other like comics in their comics. Hurhur.

If it helps, all the people who've recognized Dick as Dick Grayson the first Robin haven't really known that he grew up to become Nightwing and then Batman because that tends to be the impression of people who DON'T read a bunch of DC comics. Sooo...

... well. That'll only be a little awkward. He'll get used to it.
