Trivia

  • The episode was previously titled "Hour Two".[2]
  • Some of the locations in Chicago that were filmed in this episode were the same locations used in The Dark Knight trilogy to replicate Gotham City.
  • This episode marks the very first time in the Arrowverse where Batman is mentioned by name on-screen.
    • Bruce Wayne, who was mentioned before in "Tribute", is also mentioned several times in the episode.
  • This episode features many references to Batman:
  • The Earth-90 Barry points out that the John Diggle of Earth-1 doesn't wear a ring like his Earth-90 counterpart. This is a reference to John Stewart, who in the comics is one of the characters who wear the Green Lantern Ring and becomes Green Lantern.
  • Barry narrates the opening introduction (using the name Oliver Queen) due to the altered reality where he's Oliver Queen/Green Arrow. This monologue would later be used as the mid-Season 7 intro.
  • At the end of the episode, the Monitor reveals that he is preparing them for a "Crisis". This ties in with the red skies emerging in the first two parts of the crossover. Both are a reference to the Crisis story arc, which includes Crisis on Infinite Earths, Infinite Crisis, and Final Crisis.
  • The scene were Earth-90 Barry Allen was trying to tell them about the book of The Monitor while stuck in the portal might have been a nod to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice when future Barry Allen in that film was trying to warn Bruce Wayne in the present.
