Martian Manhunter's narration includes the phrase “that is not dead which can eternal lie,” a direct nod to H.P. Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu", where Lovecraft describes the ancient entity's immortal nature.

Complete clickbait title, absolutely nothing worth reading in the article.

It's the "Gaslight Universe" (Gotham by Gaslight etc.), which in The Horror That Came to Gotham, the whole story revolves around a Lovecraftian entity being discovered and brought back to Gotham, which begins to take over the minds and bodies of everyone in the city.
Knowing that, I think it's kinda cool to come up with a different origin for a different version of a well-known character.
That title is absolutely click bait, though.
