Notes
- This issue is set during the short period where the Pre-Crisis Batman of Earth-One existed on the post-Crisis New Earth. So while all the other characters in this issue are their post-Crisis New Earth versions, Batman is still pre-Crisis Earth-One. (For more about this period, see the Notes for Batman #392).
