Just a quick note with some explanations.
The fifty two universes is a comic book thing. Apparently after this latest crises they've gone through they have now settled down to 52 universes. I don't know why they picked 52, but it worked for their big deal weekly comic (called 52) which came out last year.
The Crime Syndicate is a comic book entity. They rule over Earth-3 or something like that. There is a fairly good annimated DVD that came out recently called "Justice League; Crisie on Two Earths", where the Justice League and the Crime Syndicate have to battle. SuperWoman has always been meant to be Wonder Woman's analog, but she is actually the Lois Lane of that world and is married to Ultraman, who is dumber than a brick, but fools around with Owlman.
Tank (who wasn't sure if some of the more gentle gentle readers wouldn't be a bit upset over all the deaths of the alternate Lois and Clarks)
