*** All this in mind, it makes sense why the episode prior to this (and following the episode in which the Question [[WellIntentionedExtremist attempts to kill Luthor]]) is called '''Flashpoint'''. It's not just a reference to the Watchtower's laser cannon pointing down.

\n* Batman is positively dogged when it comes to ensuring Flash's safety in "Flash and Substance" when he's made aware there's a threat been made against Flash's life. As much as this may seem like Batman's usual levels of paranoia, it makes all the more sense when you consider what happens in another timeline where Flash dies that's constantly on everyone's mind. Batman is probably keeping such a close eye on him with that in mind, trying to protect him in his own odd way.

** A small, but noteworthy example... when Vandal Savage [[ItMakesSenseInContext invites Superman over for a sleepover]], it’s a bit funny to see Supes stuck sleeping on Savage’s couch (despite his home being a multi-story museum/mansion). Having been alone for 30,000 years by that point and resigning himself to never seeing another human face for the rest of his immortal existence, Savage likely never saw the ‘’need’’ to ever build a guest bedroom.
** Vandal Savage mentions how he abandoned work on a new Time Machine because the technology prevents Savage himself from traveling to any time period where he already exists. While this explains why he sent back a laptop to his younger self in "The Savage Time", even if he found a means to circumvent that issue, [[IHatePastMe he knows himself far too well]] to realize that his past version would simply refuse to listen. No wonder he considered completing the device pointless until [[LoopholeAbuse Superman enters the picture]].

Added DiffLines:

*** That third point likely has some merit to it, given it is partially the reason for the Phantasm being the chosen hitman (as well as a fun cameo), because Waller knew hiring some other hired killer (Deadshot, Deathstroke, etc.) could've quickly spiraled out of control and just killed everyone (including her future Batman). The Phantasm was pulled because they have standards.

* It didn't occur to me until many years later, but from "Hearts and Minds", there's a second reason why J'onn was needed to reach the Flame of Py'tar. It seemed to link with Despero in large part because of his third eye. In addition to being telepathic, part of the appeal of using J'onn was likely because he could (and did) grow a third eye thanks to his Martian physiology.
