Following-up on the previous post here, my old pal Pat O'Neill wrote to ask…
How do you feel about the practice in TV shows and movies based on comics where they name locations after people who were involved in the creation of the source material, such as "Infantino St." in The Flash, or "Finger Plaza" in a Batman-related piece?
It seems generally harmless to me but it also seems like a pretty minor nod to folks who are owed a greater debt. I suspect that those who are so recognized and are still around, as well as the families of those who have passed, would prefer that the creative-type person receive a real credit and some real money. Then again, the folks who inserted those names into scripts probably didn't have the power to grant a formal credit or have a check sent.
