He's Bavarian, unlike the Austrian Ah-nold. Right?

[edit] Quoting Batman and Robin? I'm not so sure...

From the article:

"One annotation of McBain's Schwarzenegger origins is his appearance at the beginning of one episode by burstiong out of an ice statue built for his arch-foe and proclaiming "Ice to See You", quoting from Schwarzeneggers role as Mr. Freeze in the movie Batman and Robin. The character reportedly made many similar one-liners, e.g "Winter has come at last" upon entering a scene."

The episode in question, Last Exit to Springfield, first aired on March 11, 1993, a full four years before Schwarzenegger appeared in Batman & Robin. "Ice to see you" was not a reference to the film, but rather just a parody of Arnold's one-liners in general. I'm removing the quoted passage.--RicardoC 16:48, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I've watched Batman & Robin, and there are no instances where Freeze said "Ice to see you", as one of his puns. Duo02 (Shout here!) 19:06, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quotes

Boo. They are rubbish. Vitriol 16:51, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the "no one must know" comment was actually from The Critic, and was said by Schwarzenegger, not Wolfcastle. Andy 04:50, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

i think that the quote, "Remember when I said I would eat you last? I lied.." is a reference to a Schwarzenegger film, but i cant remember which one. Any help apprechiated DannyB!! 15:33, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Intro

"Ironically enough, Arnold Schwarzenegger himself would (perhaps unknowingly) end up using one of McBain's one-liners in 1997's Batman and Robin. As the villain of the piece, Mr. Freeze, Schwarzenegger used several weather-related puns, including the expression "Ice to see you", which was a line also used by McBain in the 1993 Simpsons episode 'Last Exit to Springfield.'"

I really don't think this belongs in the intro, since it comes across as an aside more than anything else. Perhaps it can fit somehwere else in the article, but I don't think in the intro. Gershwinrb 08:39, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wolfcastle's "Immigrant Status"

Why would this be an obstacle to his (theoretical) gubernatorial ambitions?

Although it's a fictional series "The Simpsons" still takes place in the United States, where the only office barred to non-native-born citizens is the presidency.

If "The Simpsons" was set in Mexico, then this discussion would have an altogether different cast, but as it stands now I don't see why Rainier Wolfcastle couldn't hold the governership of whatever state Springfield is located in.
