Discovered while trawling Wiki:

Victor Szasz was the Question, a conspiracy theorist hero.

Victor Zsasz is a vicious serial killer and enemy of Batman.

Not exactly common names, either.

Discuss.

Originally the character's name was Victor Sage and it was changed sometime after the Charlton character was transferred to DC. Was it changed back to Sage in 52?

I have no idea. I don't actually read much DC, and while I was reading the wiki article at like 2 AM (and therefore my reading comprehension was shot), I don't think it's explained in there. I sort of figured it was an Ellis Island-type thing, going with an easier spelling and blah.

How this happened: Parker and I were discussing possible villains for a third Batman movie, and we were like, "Shit who is there," and I found a list of Batman villains with Zsasz on there. And something pinged deep in the depths of my former-quiz-bowl-star brain and I went, "Wait wait isn't that the Question's name?" And lo and behold it kind of was!
