Factual errors: Despite being an all-Black universe, all of the quotations that the Scarecrow reads are from famous people from Western Civilization instead of writers of African origin, and the Cowardly Lion calls on Zeus, a Greek god to which people of African origin have no connection, instead of African gods such as Shango of Olorun.
