* HarsherInHindsight: The story ultimately doesn't do ''much'' to develop the ongoing MythArc of the Rebirth era, with Jay Garrick and the Justice Society remaining exiled from reality and ultimately no serious resolution unfolds. This wouldn't be ''too'' much of an issue since the story was just meant to be a "stepping stone" of sorts, but ScheduleSlip and ExecutiveMeddling would subsequently prevent the myth arc from developing substantially, until finally resolution came from ''ComicBook/DoomsdayClock'', which came out ''long'' after the Rebirth era was considered over, and far too long after ''The Button''. At the time, what looked like hype for an upcoming grand return ended up instead being a tease for something that, three years later, ''still'' hasn't played out in full. The result of the long delay ended up making it appear Batman and Barry Allen discovered Jay Garrick's existence and his trapped state within the Speed Force, but instead of helping him like they indicated they would, [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic they'd proceeded to focus on any other possibly distraction and leave him to his fate]]].

* InternetBackdraft: Given the contentious nature behind DC Comics's ownership of the ''Watchmen'' brand and the bad blood with Alan Moore over it, anything DC Comics does regarding ''Watchmen'' will naturally generate this. Still, compared to the shit-storm that Marvel was facing over its [[ComicBook/SecretEmpire crossover around the same time]], the reaction to this story was downright muted.
