Hell, I'm not even sure that he knew that there really is something called
"antimatter" when he began scripting Crisis. He sure didn't know anything
about the properties of real antimatter when he wrote it. It bugs me
when someone makes up near-mystical properties for something real instead
of simply inventing a non-existant substance for his story.
