Finite Crisis

Deadman, aka Boston Brand, was created by Arnold Drake and Carmine Infantino. The Hook was created by Jack Miller and Neal Adams. The panel compositions are from Neal Adams’ covers for Strange Adventures no. 210, Strange Adventures no. 212, and Deadman no. 6.

Guess who’s been reading Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen? The Newsboy Legion were created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon in the 40s, and returned in Kirby’s Jimmy Olsen run in the 70s as mad scientists (and the fathers of an all-new Newsboy Legion)!

Owlman was created by Gardner “Wild Flower” Fox and Mike “The Monster” Sekowsky (but was reinvented for the modern era by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo), Deathstroke was created by George “The Master” Perez and Marv “The Wolf-Man” Wolfman, and Wrath was created by Mike W. Barr and Michael “Not my Uncle” Golden!

June Moone was created by Bob Haney and Howard Purcell, and Lewis Lang was created by Bill Finger and John Sikela!

(We last saw Batman in Finite Crisis no. 14-- not that you could have possibly forgotten January’s most groundbreaking comic strip.)

Also, yes, Metamorpho has appeared in this comic before! Way, way back in Finite Crisis no. 1. 

Jimmy Olsen was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster! And Jack Kirby had a definitive run on the character, in which he introduced Darkseid.

Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern, was created by Bill Finger and Martin Nodell!

Gentleman Ghost was created by Bob Kanigher and Joe Kubert! (Commissioner Emmett, who is named but not shown, was created by Joe Kubert and Gardner Fox.)
