Didn't they also specifically go out of their way to not call Batman Batman when referenced in Arrow (ie: "that lunatic in Gotham City")? I don't understand why some characters are so sacrosanct but others are shoehorned in or namedropped incessantly.
I mean, I *get* the issues Marvel had with stuff like that, given the history of divided rights, but DC seems to just impose these restrictions arbitrarily among whatever project they're putting out, be it theatrical, live action TV, or various animated incarnations.
