Milton in “The Suicide Squad” not a reference to Bill Finger

In the film The Suicide Squad, Polka-Dot Man grows especially fond of a minor character named Milton. 


Online there be rumors or theories that the name “Milton” is a nod to Bill Finger, who co-created PDM (not to be confused with TDK), and whose birth name was Milton.
Alas, it is not true, as confirmed by writer-director James Gunn himself. So a bummer, but a cool way to receive that bummer.

However, Bill is in the movie, on the list of the comics creators thanked in the credits (unfairly, none in connection to any specific characters).
