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.
1963 (JLA #s 21-22) Crisis on Earth-One/Two 1964 (JLA #s 29-30) Crisis on Earth-Three 1965 (JLA #s 37-38) Crisis on Earth-A 1966 (JLA #s 46-47) Crisis Between Earth-One and Earth-Two 1967 (JLA #s 55-56) The Super-Crisis That Struck Earth-Two 1968 (JLA #s 64-65) 1969 (JLA #s 73-74) 1970 (JLA #s 82-83) 1971 (JLA #s 91-92) 1972 (JLA #s 100, 101, 102) 1973 (JLA #s 107-108) Crisis on Earth-X 1974 (JLA # 113) 1975 (JLA #s 123-124) 1976 (JLA #s 135, 136, 137) Crisis on Earth-S 1977 (JLA #s 147-148) Crisis in the 30th Century 1978 (JLA #s 159-160) Crisis from Yesterday/Tomorrow 1979 (JLA #s 171-172) Crisis Above Earth-One 1980 (JLA #s 183, 184, 185) Crisis on New Genesis 1981 (JLA #s 195, 196, 197) Crisis in Limbo 1982 (JLA #s 207, 208, 209) Crisis on Earth-Prime 1983 (JLA #s 219, 220) Crisis in the Thunderbolt Dimension! 1984 (JLA #s 231, 232) Family Crisis 1985 (JLA # 244) Last Crisis On Earth-Two 1986 CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS
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.
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.
