- All of the fictional characters in this story appear as fictional characters who come to the real world to pass judgment on Jerry O'Flynn as you are not allowed to inhabit both the fictional and "real" world of the DC Universe unless the statutory period of copyright has expired. These characters are not to be confused with the "real" versions that might exist in the DC Universe.
