Incident Reports
Arkham Origins Incident
Boomerang was mentioned by one of the 20 escaped Blackgate Prisoners. The prisoner told the thugs around him that he needed a place to hide because: "It's some guy with a boomerang!". The other thugs thought that he meant Batarang and were talking about Batman, but the prisoner told them: "No. It's definitely not the Bat. Dressed totally different. Calls himself Captain and... Look can we finish this conversation somewhere else? Somewhere SAFE?" It seemed as if Captain Boomerang had a grudge against that particular prisoner.
Before Kill the Justice League Incident
Boomerang is taken to Arkham Asylum.
Kill the Justice League Incident
Following Brainiac's invasion on Metropolis, as a last-ditched effort to take him down, Amanda Waller recruits Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, Harley Quinn and King Shark and sends them into the city.

Trivia
- Captain Boomerang is the only Australian villain in the Arkhamverse.

- When asked about what he would do upon meeting a doppelganger of himself, Boomerang implies he would sleep with the double regardless of sex.
- He throws in a lot of Australian lingo when he talks, using words such as "Dunnie" for a toilet and "munted" for broken.
- Boomerang has a weak immune system, which is implied to be due to drinking too much alcohol over the years.
