In the Our Man Flint and In Like Flint film series, the intelligence organization headed by Lee J. Cobb has Z.O.W.I.EE as an acronym.

Zowie was coined in 1902 as a sound a speeding automobile makes.

Not surprising since zowie was used.

The corny fight words were used for two purposes. It gave a connection back to the origin in comics, but more practically, it covered up the terrible fight choreography.

@ValkyrieHere's another Batman connection. One of The Riddler's henchmen was named Zowie.

Didn't Velma say that when they pulled the mask off the villain, and it turned out to be REDACTED-BY-MANAGEMENT
