The repeated use of "crisis" is an homage to the 23 JLA/JSA (et al.) annual crossovers. What we now common refer to as "(The) Crisis" (Crisis on Infinite Earths) wasn't the first Crisis; it was supposed to be the LAST one.

And, yes, that's a great panel. Because who ELSE would do that?
And here's a panel from Justice League of America #148 (1977) to add to the figurative list of Hal Jordan's greatest hits (pun definitely intended). I think it takes the concept a little further than most. :-)
Iris learned the code from Barry? Much is left unsaid. Did:
1. Barry share the code with Iris just in case she may need it? 2. Iris browbeat and terrorize Barry into divulging the code? 3. Iris snoop among Barry's notes/personal effects to find the code? 4. Iris guess the code on her own because Barry uses her birthday?
What say you, Absorbaconites? Is that a word? I decree it a word.
Didn't Iris learn Barry was the Flash because he talked in his sleep? At least in some previous continuity? Makes you wonder if Barry knew he gave her the code....
Dark CRISIS, Infinite CRISIS, Final CRISIS, Identity CRISIS, at this point, has anyone considered buying DC a thesaurus? :-|

BTW, Scipio, I recently came across an image from World's Finest #172 (1967) that I'm reasonably sure you'll find interesting. :-)

BROK - the sound of Hal Jordan hitting himself in the head. Not even an exclamation point because there's no element of surprise to it.
