=== Behind the Scenes ===
* The Pale Man was created by American comic book writer James Tynion IV and artist Kelley Jones. Scott Snyder, the writer of the overall "Endgame" arc the character first made an appearance in, believed the Joker had been lying, but had deliberately left the possibility open.Batman Team Addresses THAT Twist in 'Endgame' - Joshua Yehl - 29 April 2015 - IGN - Retrieved 21 September 2024
