It's not a pointless redirect, quite the opposite, in fact.

All the major stars - WW, Supes, Bats, Aquaman, Flash, GL, Arrow - deviate from the usual naming standard of "Birth name (Universe)", and instead go for "Alias (Best known name)". This is so they end up higher in search engine results. However, the appearances, images etc. link to a redirect with the standard naming format.
