History YMMV / SupermanBatman

* JustHereForGodzilla: Fans of ComicBook/TeenTitans read the "Mash-Up" story just to see a version (albeit an alternate dream universe version) of the iconic New Teen Titans team, featuring [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Night]][[ComicBook/GreenLantern Lantern]], [[ComicBook/{{Starfire}} Star]] [[ComicBook/BlackCanary Canary]], [[ComicBook/WonderGirl Donna]] [[ComicBook/WonderWoman Wonder]], [[ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} Aqua]][[ComicBook/{{Cyborg}} Borg]], [[ComicBook/{{Hawkman}} Hawk]][[Comicbook/BeastBoy Beast]], Franchise/TheFlash (Wally and Barry), [[ComicBook/TheJudasContract Terra]][[ComicBook/RedTornado nado]], and PosthumousCharacter [[ComicBook/{{Raven}} Rav]][[ComicBook/{{Zatanna}} anna]]).

* StrawmanHasAPoint: At the climax of ''The Search for Kryptonite'' Amanda Waller argues for keeping a large store of Kryptonite on hand in case Superman goes crazy. The message is supposed to be "The American government is controlling and paranoid" (all the American flags around the base really sell it), but she has a point about someone having something around to keep Superman in check. Even worse, at the end of the story Batman himself is shown to have his own store of Kryptonite, which just brings up the question of why the guy responsible for ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmericaTowerOfBabel'' is the only person equipped to handle a rogue Superman.

** During Supergirl's debut, Superman, annoyed with their hesitance to go after Kara, unintentionally offended Batman and Wonder Woman by bringing up Jason Todd and Donna Troy, both of whom were dead at the time. A year later, as part of the lead-up to ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'', Jason and Donna came back.

* UnexpectedCharacter: In ''The Supergirl From Krypton'', [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara Zor-El]] makes her first appearance in the mainstream universe since 1986.

** In the "With a Vengeance Arc", Batman and Superman take on the Maximums, a team of alternate-reality superheroes who are all obviously based on Marvel's ''ComicBook/TheUltimates''. Not long afterwards, Loeb actually ended up writing ''ComicBook/TheUltimates3''. Although, given the aforementioned FunnyAneurysmMoment and the role the CreatorBreakdown probably played in Loeb's leading ComicBook/UltimateMarvel into a DorkAge with ''The Ultimates 3'' and ''ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}}'', it might count as HarsherInHindsight for some.

* HarsherInHindsight: This was the last series Creator/JephLoeb worked on before his infamous CreatorBreakdown following the death of his son Sam. It makes his funnier stories bittersweet knowing that in advance.

* HoYay: The point of the series was to make Clark and Bruce friends again, and boy did it. They think about each other all the time, they hang out all the time, Bruce meets Clark's family, and Clark looks out for Bruce's family.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: This was the last series Creator/JephLoeb worked on before his infamous CreatorBreakdown following the death of his son Sam. It's somewhat uncomfortable to read the funnier issues he wrote knowing you are slowing counting down to the issue where he suddenly stops.
