New headcanon dropped: Jeannie was also a fledgling standup comic, and met Jack on the nightclub circuit. By themselves they never generated many laughs, but once they teamed up as a comic duo audiences started responding. They could have been Gotham City’s answer to Nichols and May if Jeannie hadn’t had to go on bedrest, and if Jack hadn’t quit his day job to work on their material.

Nichols and May would eventually make peace. Over the next five decades, they would perform together, collaborate many times as writer and director, act opposite each other, and heal their relationship. Nichols would never direct a movie without showing her the script.
