** ''ComicBook/ActionComicsNew52'' had a one-shot issue about an AlternateUniverse version of Superman who literally began life as a comic character. In the story, it's stated that the corporation that owned Superman made him DarkerAndEdgier to appeal to a modern audience, thus missing the entire point of the character. Then ''Film/ManOfSteel'' came out the following year, with one of the major complaints being that WB had tried too hard to make Superman DarkerAndEdgier, to the point that he [[spoiler: killed General Zod]].

** Issue five featured Superman attending the funeral of ComicBook/{{Metamorpho}} (again...), and was one of the only ones there. When he questioned the priest about it, he was told that since Superman came back, everyone expected superheroes not to stay dead, so they'd lost interest in memorial services. The service took place in a park dedicated to fallen superheroes, and in an obvious bid to make the point that this wasn't always the case, that sometimes dead heroes stayed dead, the artist had four memorial statues in the scene: Ice, Oliver Queen (Green Arrow), Hal Jordan (Green Lantern) and Barry Allen (the Flash). The issue was also the debut and death of Tomorrow Woman. ''All'' of them, Rex and Tomorrow Woman included, have since come back from the dead--with Ollie being the only one whose return predated Rex's. Granted, the statues also included the members of the Justice Society who were killed by Extant during ''ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime'', most of whom stayed dead -- expect for Hourman, who also cheated death.

* In ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey'', there's an issue where Joker becomes Iran - uh, {{Qurac}}'s ambassador [[RetCon again]] and threatens to bomb New York City. He tells the people listening to look on the bright side, as "this will finally shut down ''Theatre/{{Cats}}''!" Obviously, at that time it was meant to be a dig at the surrealist play of the same name, but now most people think of [[Film/{{Cats}} the movie]] and maybe think [[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible the Joker had a point]].

* In ''ComicBook/PowerGirl'' issue #7, PG briefly fights the Wonder Woman villain, the Blue Snowman, who is [[SamusIsAGirl a girl]], and the captions lampshade this by describing her as a "Wonder Woman villain with gender issues". At the time, this was just a joke, and Blue Snowman was just a case of SweetPollyOliver - but then they gave the Blue Snowman some ''actual'' gender issues in Rebirth, with the reveal that that incarnation of the character was assigned female at birth.

* In the ComicBook/XMenNewTeenTitans crossover, the Titans question why the X-Men allow a russian (Colossus) on their team, as it's the middle of the Cold War. Ironically, the Titans themselves would let a russian - Red Star - into their ranks eventually, also before the end of the Cold War.

* In ''The Flash 80-Page Giant'' #1, Creator/MarkMillar, appearing AsHimself, notes that the in-universe version of DC Comics resolved all the continuity issues created by heroes going public with their identities with a crossover called "The Identity Crisis", apparently their equivalent of ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths. Our DC would later use that name for [[ComicBook/IdentityCrisis2004 a crossover]] themselves, though it actually didn't change continuity all that much.
