It's a safe bet that this isn't the Crime Syndicate from Morrison's run, since they still exist in the Antimatter Universe. (DiDio's confirmed this, which I'd wondered since they popped up on this Earth's flash-in in 52 #52.) This is a Crime Society, based on the original JSA.

Except it has its variants of Superman, Batman, WW, [b]Martian Manhunter[\b], Red Tornado, etc... making the core team look more like a version of the Clutter Earth JLA, not the Clutter Earth JSA, whereas some of the extended ones are JSA variants and some fit into both. It would only be more like old Earth 2, if this were an elder Ultraman, old Owlman etc...
