Trivia

  • The episode was previously titled "Elseworlds: Hour Three".[2]
    • Barry breaks the fourth wall in this episode; he says "this has gotta be the craziest thing you've heard in the past three hours"; a reference to the fact that the Elseworlds crossover is split into three hour-long installments.
  • The opening monologue in this episode was narrated by John Deegan. But for the last line, he says it after transforming into Superman.
  • Near the end, Deegan's face is shown disfigured in black and white almost like a skeleton, similar to his comic counterpart's appearance.
  • WhenJ ohn Deegan becomes Superman and rules the earth, this is a reference to the plot of Injustice: Gods Among Us where Superman is a tyrant that rule the earth.
  • When Deegan fought Superman in a building, a civilian calls him Bizarro. This is a nod to the fact that a lot of people didn't like that Bizarro was a girl in the arrowverse and wanted a male version.
  • In the comics, Doctor Destiny is associated with Dreamstone, artifact created by Dream of the Endless, while his Arrowverse counterpart uses Book of Destiny, artifact created by Dream's older sibling Destiny.
  • When Barry and Oliver are looking for Cisco, Barry references the season 3 premiere Flashpoint when he rewrote reality and Cisco wasn't much help.
  • Kara correctly guess Lois and Clark are having a baby, a reference to Jonathan Samuel Kent, who first appeared in DC Comics' Convergence event in the miniseries Convergence: Superman #2 (July 2015).
