* FridgeBrilliance, in a meta sense. The event that forced Superman et al. out of retirement is the destruction of Kansas, which was caused by the death of Captain Atom. Captain Atom is somewhat obscure, but much better known is his CaptainErsatz: [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Dr. Manhattan]]. Just one of several interesting ties between the story that[[note]]perhaps unintentionally[[/note]] launched UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks, and its best-known {{Deconstruction}}.

* The Spectre bristles when Vandal Savage kills an innocent woman in front of him. Sure, just about anyone would be upset, right? Well, the Spectre is ''literally'' God's vengeance, placed upon this Earth to make murderers in particular pay for their crimes, with the spirit of a murdered policeman serving as his host. But on this assignment he's not allowed to interfere with the actions of anyone, even this senseless slaying taking place right before his eyes. Yeah, he's '''pissed'''.

** There's another level to this - the Spectre can punish the living, and this usually results in the deaths of those being punished, leaving them at God's mercy. But Vandal Savage is immortal. He'll never die, so there's nothing the Spectre can do to make him pay for his sins, save for possibly inflicting a punishment on him for all eternity. Jim Corrigan's soul is unlikely to allow that.
