I enjoyed this quiz but you know your not concentrating when you think 'The Joker' is the bird in Batman. And quizmaster- it's 'Captain' Jack in Pirates!

Level 45

Because I don't think Neil Armstrong ever said 'That's CAPTAIN Neil Armstrong', or got other people to say it. 'CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow' is a pretty memorable quirk, almost as memorable as his hat.

That's a really funny answer for the Captain one, but I don't suppose that Captain Peacock would be much known outside the UK.

This is admittedly super nit-picky, but wouldn't the last clue be better written as Armstrong "quote" rather than saying?
