==Behind the Laughter==
Richter is a combined parody of Adam West and George Reeves, who portrayed Batman and Superman in their respective original television programs. In particular Richter is a parody of Reeves; Reeves' death was thought to have been suicide however little physical evidence such as finger prints, gun shot residues were found at the scene. Richter may also be a parody of Bob Crane, particularly the dark seedy rumors following the end of his career.
