Like Smallville, I assume they think it gets them bonus points from people who do know this stuff. The Smallville target audience doesn't know that Milton Fine (the Kryptonian supercomputer disguised as a history professor) shares his name with a circus mentalist posessed by an alien intelligence in the comics, and wouldn't care if they did. That's for the benefit of the "periphery demographic" of comics geeks.
