- Thomas and Martha Wayne are killed 15 years before this story, in 1924.
- Bruce and Julie probably graduate in 1938, and he begins his career in early 1939.
- All the characters are from Earth-Two, and this story is no longer in continuity.

Comment(s):
- This story takes place on July 10th. Violet Harper's birth year, 1969, is topical, but suggests that she is 17 years old when she becomes Halo.
- The flashback in this story retells events of Halo's origin first shown in Batman and the Outsiders #1, #20 and #22.
