* In issue 2 of ''Batman - Santa Claus: Silent Knight'', the issue ends with Superman landing in Bludhaven soon after Batman and a number of other heroes have stopped a bunch of vampiric creatures and, with the most betrayed look on his face, complains that Bruce never told him that he knew Santa Claus.

* In an effort to force Superman into working for him, Lex Luthor has the idea to transform [=LexCorp=] into an NGO for the Man of Steel while he himself is in prison (with the legal caveat that control or company resources can't be transferred to another party, or else everyone employed by "[=SuperCorp=]" and its subsidiaries would be out of work). What really cements Luthor as the master of [[EvilIsPetty petty villainy]] is that he creates ''a hologram of himself as Jor-El'' to "advise" Superman, knowing it's just going to piss him off even more.

* Issue 16 has Clark meeting Batman and Robin in the barn in their backyard, with Jon sneaking behind to watch. They are then all caught by Lois, who tells them that it's freezing, and that they should talk inside like normal people. This leads to them all sitting around the dinner table eating pie, except for Batman, because apparently Bruce's intimidating image is too important for him to eat pie at his friend's house, so he instead sits at the head of the table frowning.

* In "Our Town", Superman has promised Lois and Jon that he will not do any superheroics during their family night. Of course, he has to go back on this promise to deal with some robbers. Then the two attendants at the roller coaster's ticket booth discuss the story [[IsThisThingStillOn over the microphone]]. The simplistic looks on Clark and Lois's faces make it even better.
