Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) dir Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman When Miles first visits Uncle Aaron’s apartment, the television is playing the television show Community (2009) (Season 2, Episode 1 “Anthropology 101”). The beginning of that episode shows Donald Glover’s character Troy getting out of bed wearing Spider-Man pajamas. This was a reference to an unsuccessful 2010 online campaign to get Donald Glover a chance to audition for the lead role in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012). Miles Morales co-creator Brian Michael Bendis describes that image of Glover in the Spider-Man pajamas as one of the major inspirations for the creation of the character and the character’s design.
