Trivia

The Show

  • Gone Fishing: Wonder Woman does not appear in this episode. Batman appears, but he has no dialogue.
  • Dedication: This episode was dedicated to Gardner Fox, the creator of the Justice League and the first to pen a JSA/JLA crossover. In fact, he was the first to develop the DC multiverse, an idea that plays heavily into the misdirection of this episode arc.

Behind the Scenes

  • Wrong Airing: This episode was supposed to air after Injustice for All (1), which explains why Lex Luthor suddenly has his crazy green power suit again.
  • Back To The Well: William Katt is best known for playing The Greatest American Hero in the television series of the same name.
  • Network Notes: Producers from the series asked DC if they could use the actual JSA, but DC declined them.

Quotes

  • Flash: You should have been there. It was so freaky. Those cornball villains with their bad puns. And the heroes with their decoder rings - what's up with that? Still, Black Siren was a hottie.
