Notes
- This episode is the third part of the Armageddon event.
- The "Injustice Protocols" are contingency plans that involves the permanent removal of the Leaguers' superpowers.
- Barry's Injustice Protocol involves the disruption of his Speed Force connection.
- Jefferson Pierce states that the Injustice Protocols were designed in the aftermath of Faust's attack which is a reference to the evil wizard Felix Faust.
- This implies that Faust, who originally died during his first appearance in the Constantine episode, "Quid Pro Quo", never died against Constantine in the Post-Crisis continuity of Earth-Prime or he was somehow resurrected between 2014 and 2021.
- This episode introduces the Negative Still Force, an opposite Force to the Still Force.
- Like the Negative Speed Force allows its conduit to be immune to reality changes unlike the Speed Force conduits, the Negative Still Force allows to rewrite the timeline without any Still Force conduit being aware of the altered events.
Trivia
- There are many references to past Arrowverse events, including:
- Oliver Queen striking a deal with the Monitor to save Barry's life in the Elseworlds reality in the Supergirl episode, "Elseworlds, Part 3";
- Barry learning the truth about this in the Arrow episode, "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Four";
- The death of Bill Henderson in the Black Lightning episode, "The Book of War: Chapter Three: Liberation";
- Rosa Dillon betraying Mirror Scudder and allowing him to be killed by Mirror Monarch in "All's Wells That Ends Wells".
- Oliver Queen striking a deal with the Monitor to save Barry's life in the Elseworlds reality in the Supergirl episode, "Elseworlds, Part 3";
- The Injustice Protocol is named after the Injustice League, a team of supervillain who often faces the Justice League in the comics.
- Robern's references Eobard Thawne's comic book brother, Robern Thawne.
- Chester jokes about creating a "Cerebro" in his garage which is a nod to Cerebro, the advanced computer used by the X-Men in the Marvel Universe.
