* ''Superman'' #2 has Clark and Jon bonding together as Superman and Superboy. [[spoiler:Jon also reveals what happened to his cat and opt to give it a proper burial.]]
** What is even more heartwarming is that [[spoiler: Clark knew what Jon had done, but didn't bring it up because he trusted Jon to tell the truth on when he was ready.]]

** The funny part is as soon as Bats cracks a smile, all of the kids whip out their cellphones and take a pic of the smile.

* Issue #39: An entire issue where Superman gives a group of terminally ill children a day of fun with the Justice League. The best part is most likely where one kid, Lateef, manages to make [[NotSoStoic Batman smile with]] [[ActuallyPrettyFunny a joke]].

** Supes telling Lana that "two young Clark Kents on two different worlds were very lucky to have Lana Langs in [their] lives".
* The fact that Jon's parents have never kept Clark's alter ego a secret from their son shows that they trust their son completely. It's fitting the oldest superhero should evolve one of the oldest superhero cliches to the next level.

* ''Superman'' #6, Metropolis welcomes back the Man of Steel with Bibbo giving his glowing endorsement and, at the end, Superman offers to help repair the damage done to the Batcave Moon Base and introduces Batman and Wonder Woman to Jonathan, proudly calling him ComicBook/{{Superboy}}.
** Feels like a PassingTheTorch moment for Jon, as he is given the moniker of his father's clone/good friend/'cousin', Conner. While the Conner of this earth may not be currently there, at least the original timeline's Conner has someone who can proudly live up to the name.

* During Jon and Damian's first meeting, when they end up (predictably) fighting, Damian calls Alfred by his first name when he gets into the crossfire of Jon's ice breath. That is a nice little moment with him and Alfred that is expanded on in ''Teen Titans''
