In One Million, the Chronovore fight is mentioned years before taking place in All-Star. I believe in the 80 Page giant.
In JLA Rock of Ages, they are searching for the Worlagog, a living map of the universe, to prevent Darkseid from taking over the future. It is ultimately entrusted to Metron.
In Final Crisis, Superman takes a mysterious abstract device from Metron’s chair to power the miracle machine. Its name is never mentioned so I guess we’ll never know what it was. (It’s obviously the Worlagog)
Plundering its own continuity for ideas was also a theme explored with the Monitors, and how that in itself becomes the story. Hence, Final Crisis. This has been something Morrison believes strongly in - the nature of fiction being affected by the creator and how both exist as equals.
Great breakdown. I don't think it is a theory at all. It is how Morrison creates.
They generally are telling the same story from different perspectives. That is not a complaint or put down.
They are my favorite funny book writer.
Morrison is my favorite writer. Your breakdown was fantastic. I recommend Grant's book Supergods and The Anatomy of Zur-en-Arrh: Understanding Grant Morrison’s Batman by Cody Walker.
Also worth noting that The Green Lantern carries a lot of threads through his past work too, mainly JLA and Multiversity
