I'm not usually one of the Continuity Police around here, but in 52 #17,
Adam Strange remarks that he's been zipping around on inter-plantary
advenures for so long, that he's never heard of Empire Strikes Back.
It just seems like a bad idea to use concrete historical markers like a huge
movie from 1980 when working with characters who's histories are always
sliding forward. He's been doing his space thing for 25 years or more?

I haven't got my copy yet, but is it possible he's just assuming it's a
newer movie, and therefore applying that explanation, when in fact it's
a movie that came out when he was a toddler and he's always just been
way too busy learning about archeological stuff to care about popular
movies...which doesn't sound realistic in our world, but not so
unreasonable in the comic book world where people tend to be able to
focus on goals more to the excusion of other things.
