Note: The episode is dedicated to Gardner Fox, a Golden Age writer who co-created both the Justice Society of America (JSA) and the Justice League of America (JSA), the comics on which the Guild are based. Originally, the showrunners wanted to use the JSA, but DC Comics publisher Paul Levitz felt that the story was inappropriate, so they altered the names and designs of the team. However, a teaser was produced for the episode with the JSA.
