However, Kris Anka claims he designed the costume a few months before DC debuted the new ComicBook/{{Batgirl}}, and the fact that the new Spider-Woman design was unveiled shortly after the positive reception Batgirl received is a complete coincidence.

* A large portion of UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks was in some ways an extended attempt at following the leader by creating comics in the vein of ''The Dark Knight Returns'' and its contemporary, ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'', in an attempt to reflect the complexity and depth of these works. However, many critics -- including, amongst others, Creator/AlanMoore, writer of ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' -- accused them of only copying the superficial details, mainly represented by the NinetiesAntiHero, rather than the storytelling complexity and experiments with medium that these works pioneered, with the result that most comics of this period were no more deep or original than the earlier works they were moving away from -- they were just nastier.

* Krypto was introduced as Superman's super-powerful pet in "ComicBook/TheSuperDogFromKrypton" (March, 1955), kicking off the trend of super-heroic pets. Only three months later, The ''Batman'' books introduced Ace the Bat-Hound. ''ComicBook/AdventureComics'' #229 (October, 1956) introduced Aquaman's pet octopus Topo barely one year later. Other heroes like ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} would also get her own pets (Streaky the Super-cat was introduced in "ComicBook/SupergirlsSuperPet" (December, 1959) and Comet the Super-Horse in "ComicBook/TheSuperSteedOfSteel" (1963)). Eventually, most of them formed the Legion of Super-Pets.

** And it's even OlderThanTheyThink; the first international multiracial hero team was ''Manga/{{Cyborg 009}}'', though it didn't achieve the success in the West that the X-Men did.
** The X-Men, along with the ''New ComicBook/TeenTitans'', set the gold standard for angst and melodrama in superhero comics, as well as telling more personal, character-driven stories that didn't rely on A-list characters who had their own books. The widely-reviled [[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Justice League Detroit]] was basically DC's attempt at trying to make the JLA into an X-Men clone by replacing most of the A-listers with [[YoungerAndHipper younger]], more diverse characters who didn't have solo titles.
