Trivia
Jeryl Prescott is the first actor to portray " Madame Xanadu" for a live-action DCU adaptation. Matt Wagner and Neil Gaiman wrote adventures for "Madame Xanadu" to reveal she is more than just a tarot card reader within the Vertigo comics line from DC. The original appearance for "Madame Xanadu" was in the pages of "Doorway to Nightmare 1" (February 1978) by Michael William Kaluta-David Michelinie-and Val Mayerick.

Goofs
Crystal Reed as the CDC Doctor says "gloves, masks, goggles for everyone" then immediately walks into an isolation room and bends over a patient without goggles. A short time later she performs an autopsy on a grotesquely deformed corpse without any protection at all.
